Carlo

“You don’t even greet your older brother?”

Ah, every fucking sense of peace I was carrying from Blaze’s place just flew out the damn window. I was feeling good. Real good. That kind of good that fucks with your head. I hadn’t even parked for more than a second and already this bastard is running his mouth.

I slam the car door shut and shoot him a look, walking past like he’s air. I don’t have time to deal with fucking parasites.

“Oh, I see you’re still dreaming of being called the dear older son of Davenport, the heir to Davenport who was raised by his mother and never knew his father was the richest business man in New York City…”

I laugh. Loud. Hard. It echoes off the damn driveway.

“Listen, bastard, don’t ever call yourself my brother. Yeah, you’re his son, whatever. But you? You don’t fucking exist to me. You can keep walking around with that fake-ass choir boy act, but I see straight through it. You’re a snake in daddy’s pretty little suit. Now excuse me.”

    Blaze“Yo, pass me that damn wrench, the long one.” I snap, wiping the sweat off my forehead with my bare arm. My fingers are greasy, my shirt’s half soaked from crawling under the damn bike for hours, and my head’s pounding.Felix slides the wrench across the floor to me. “You need a break, man. That bike’s dead, let it rest in peace.”“It ain’t dead. She’s just a stubborn bitch.” I grumble, grabbing the tool and getting back to twisting bolts. “Kinda like someone I know.”He laughs. “Talking about me or Carlo?”I pause. My hand freezes. The sound of metal scraping metal halts. I pretend like I didn’t hear shit. “Don’t piss me off.”“Touchy.”I flip him off under the bike.Minutes pass. Silence settles in. The only sound is the occasional clink of my tools and the buzz from the old fan spinning weakly in the corner.“You know your hands are magic, right?” Felix says the moment he ends the call he was on secs ago.I snort, not even looking up from the bike engine I’m elbow-deep in. “I

    Carlo“You like someone else?”That’s the first fucking thing I hear. I freeze. My hands curl into fists at my side as I watch Blaze hug Max. I’m standing there, right behind them like a goddamn idiot. The words keep echoing in my head. Blaze just told him he likes someone else.My fucking chest tightens. It’s not even jealousy that hits me first. It’s fucking betrayal. Hurt. That ugly, familiar sting that makes me wanna punch something—or someone.I don’t even wait. I move.I storm toward him like I’ve got fire in my damn blood. Felix and Max are still standing right there, but I don’t give a shit. Blaze’s eyes lock with mine and go wide.“Carlo?” he says, like he didn’t just say some shit that cracked my ribs open.I grab his arm, not too rough but firm enough, and yank him away from them. He’s resisting, but I don’t care. I drag him with me toward my car, my teeth grinding. I don’t even know what I’m gonna say yet, I just know I need to get the hell away from an audience before I l

    Blaze“You always steal the blanket, asshole.”Carlo doesn’t even look guilty. He just rolls over, wraps his damn arm around my waist, and pulls me closer like that solves the problem.“Shut up and come here,” he mutters against my neck, voice all deep and sleepy and fucking unfair.God, I should hate how clingy he is in the mornings. I should hate how he steals the blanket and takes up more than half the bed, he has his room but won’t give me any breathing space. But I liked it.I actually like waking up to this annoying rich bastard plastered against me like a damn koala. I like his bed. I like his cologne rubbing off on my skin. I like the dumb way he always kisses my shoulder before opening his eyes. And fuck, I like that he still acts like I might disappear if he lets go.“You smell like sex and ego,” I grumble, even though I’m already curling back into him like the idiot I’ve become.He laughs, low and lazy. “Good. Means last night was worth it.”Last night. Jesus.The man pract

    Blaze“Fuck this leg.”That’s the first thing out of my mouth the moment I swing my feet off the damn bed. The ache’s not new, but today? Shit, it bites harder than usual. Feels like someone took a hammer to my thigh while I slept. I try to stand. Bad move. My knee gives a little warning jerk, and I bite my lip to stop myself from yelling.It's been four fucking years. Four years of dealing with this shit and pretending it’s fine. But this morning, I feel it more. It’s like the pain wants to remind me, “Hey, you ain’t healed, dumbass.”I limp into the bathroom, cursing under my breath, holding onto the wall like an old man. When I catch my reflection, I almost laugh. Messy hair, eyes half-dead, lips pressed tight. I look like I fought with a truck and lost.I splash cold water on my face. My leg throbs. I grit my teeth.Carlo’s still asleep in the other room. I can hear his soft breathing. I don’t want to wake him. He’ll fuss, and I’m not in the mood for him acting all worried like I’

    Blaze“Carlo! Wait!” I shout as I swing the door open and limp out of my fucking room like some cracked-up one-legged pirate. I don’t even bother checking if I’m fully dressed or if my hair looks like I got in a fight with a fucking lawnmower. I just hear the jingle of his keys and the front door opening, and my dumbass instinct kicks in—I gotta talk to him. Before he leaves. Before I lose my chance.I hate how desperate that sounds. I hate that I’m even chasing after him like this. But fuck it. I don’t care right now. I just need to catch him.My good leg hits the first step, but the other one—the one that’s been screaming in pain for days now—decides it wants to ruin my life today. My foot slips. My knee gives out like a coward, and then everything fucking crashes.I fall. Hard.“FUCK!” I yell as I hit the stairs, slide halfway down, and land like a bag of broken bones. The kind of fall that knocks the breath out of you. My vision goes white for a second. My ears ring. Everything hu

    Carlo“I need to speak with the doctor. Alone.”I say that shit flat, no emotion, just enough edge in my voice that the nurse doesn’t argue. She nods like she understands and walks out of the room. I wait till the door clicks shut, then I drag my hand over my face, grip the back of my neck, and let the silence press down on me.Blaze is asleep—or knocked out, whatever. Still as hell on that damn hospital bed, wires everywhere, his face pale like he’s about to disappear. I hate hospitals. Fucking hate this place. The smell, the beeping, the waiting… the fucking helplessness.He didn’t say shit. Not one fucking word about the pain. Not last night. Not this morning. Not in the car ride when he sat there like a damn stone, jaw clenched, arms folded, refusing to look at me.The door opens again and the doctor steps in. Same one from earlier, tall, mid-40s, glasses that keep sliding down his nose. He looks like he hasn’t slept in a week.“You said you needed to talk?” he asks, pulling out t

    Blaze“What… What the heck did he say?”I mutter that shit under my breath, eyes still shut, body stiff, pretending like I’m out cold. I hear the doctor’s voice, low and clipped, but every damn word slices through the fog in my head.Infection, my legs got that bad cos the old bastard abandoned me in the most crucial moment.Now, I still need to do the surgery after limping all these years… Fucking amputation? Amputation is certainly not something I want to accept ever.My chest tightens. I don’t move. Don’t twitch. I just lay there like a goddamn corpse while my brain starts spiraling. My leg aches like hell, deep, hot, pulsing pain that’s been eating at me for weeks now. I thought I could handle it. Push through. Like always.But hearing that? That I might lose my fucking leg?No. No, no, no.The memory hits me like a truck. That race. The way my bike skidded, the screaming metal, the crunch when I hit the pavement. The blood. My leg bent at a sick angle. That shit’s branded into m

    Chapter 55Blaze“Call Felix.”That’s the first thing I say when Carlo walks back into the room.My voice is low, barely above a whisper, but steady enough. I’m not yelling. Not barking. Just… tired. Fucked up. In too much pain to be angry, too aware of how real this is now.Carlo pauses in the doorway, his eyes on me. I don’t even look at him. I just lie there, staring at the ceiling like it’s got answers written on it.“Please,” I add, because I don’t wanna be a dick to the one person who’s been here through all this. “Just call him.”He doesn’t argue. Doesn’t ask why. He nods once and slips back out the door.I close my eyes. Try to breathe. Try not to feel like everything inside me is splitting open.30 minutes later, the door flies open like someone kicked it in.“Where the fuck is he?!”I know that voice. That voice could wake the dead. Felix storms in like the goddamn apocalypse. And the second his eyes land on me—hooked up to tubes, leg elevated, looking like a fuckin’ corpse—

    Blaze“You’re staring.”Carlo doesn’t even flinch. He leans against the fence like he owns the damn place, arms folded, sunglasses hiding those eyes that I know are full of heat right now.“You’re showing off.”I snort, adjusting the strap of my helmet as I hop off the bike. Sweat slicks my back, my shirt sticking to me in all the wrong places, but the way Carlo watches me like I’m a damn god? Yeah, I could stay like this all day.“It’s called warming up, old man. You wouldn’t know anything about that since your ass is always parked behind a desk or on top of me.”His smirk curves up, slow and lazy. “You saying I’m outta shape?”“I’m saying your skills are probably rusted as fuck.”A few of the other guys laugh as they roll by. The track is full today—smell of burnt rubber in the air, engines roaring, tires screeching. I haven’t felt this alive in months. And having him here, watching me? Fuck, it does something to me. Twists my gut in the best way.“Wanna test that theory?” Carlo pus

    Blaze“You better not fucking burn this place down,” I say, eyeing Carlo like he’s some ticking time bomb with a goddamn lighter in his hand.He just laughs, carrying a couple of shopping bags into the kitchen like he owns the goddamn world. Well, technically he owns this fucking house, so maybe he does.“I ain’t that bad, baby,” he smirks, dropping the bags on the counter like it’s nothing. “I can cook… a little.”“Yeah, fucking right,” I snort, crossing my arms over my chest. “You were raised with a goddamn silver spoon shoved so far up your ass, I’m surprised you even know what a stove looks like.”He chuckles again, that deep fucking sound that rattles straight into my bones. “Then I’ll assist, chef Blaze.”I roll my eyes but I can’t help the way my mouth pulls into a fucking smile. God, I’m a mess for this asshole.As I’m pulling out some veggies to start chopping, he’s unloading shit—meat, pasta, some fancy-ass sauce, even a goddamn bottle of wine. He looks so fucking proud of h

    Blaze“You fucking serious right now?” Alexi says, kicking off her shoes and flopping down on the oversized couch like she owns the place.I throw a cushion at her. “Don’t get your nasty feet on my new shit, Alexi.”She flips me off without missing a beat. “Whatever. So you chose the scumbag, huh?”I grunt, dragging my hand through my hair. “I didn’t fucking choose him. It’s my stupid ass heart that did.”Alexi snorts like she doesn’t believe me. And maybe I don’t even believe myself, fuck. I mean, yeah, Carlo’s a manipulative piece of shit. But I seem to fucking enjoy his shit, it’s twisted. That’s the fucking problem.The mansion’s too damn big. Echoes of our voices bounce off the fancy-ass walls like reminders that I don’t even belong here. This whole place—every fucking thing—was bought by Carlo. Because I refused to stay in his goddamn penthouse like some kept little toy. And somehow… this felt less shitty. Like I could breathe here. Like I still had my own space.“You know your

    CarloAfter one month of the accident that made Blaze consider my pathetic love, if I had known that was the solution I would have bumped into a tree a long time ago… I am back to the office.“If you don’t give me that fucking hotel, I’m gonna send the second drive to dad. And this one has more than just company shit, Carlo… this one proves you’re fucking a man. The heir to Davenport, the golden boy, the one he’s been grooming since we were kids… balls deep in a fucking guy. Think about that.”That’s how William walks into my fucking office at 7AM.No fucking good morning, not like we have good relationship to say pleasantries anyway, but straight up blackmailing me is fucking insane. Just like him.I lean back slowly in my chair, trying to pretend my head isn’t already throbbing from everything else going on. My jaw clenches, and I force my voice to stay calm even though every muscle in me is screaming to fucking pounce on him.“You’re bluffing.”“Am I?” William smirks, tossing a fla

    Blaze“Felix’s drunk ass is at my bar again. You might wanna come get him before he breaks something.”That’s the fucking call I get at 1:34 a.m. Just when I thought this night couldn’t get any worse. I’m lying in bed, staring at the goddamn ceiling, half replaying Carlo’s bullshit from earlier and half trying to pretend I don’t care. But then that call comes in and all my attempts at peace flush straight down the fucking toilet.I drag myself out of bed, throw on whatever hoodie I can find, and head out. It’s not even about wanting to go. It’s guilt. It’s instinct. It’s… fuck, I don’t even know anymore. All I know is, Felix is at his worst, and I’m the only person who probably still gives a damn.By the time I get to the bar, it’s exactly what I expected. Dim lights, sticky floor, music too loud for this dead hour, and Felix slumped at the edge of the counter, head half in a glass, mumbling to himself. His face is flushed, eyes glassy. It’s that mix of broken and belligerent that onl

    Blaze“Dude, that bike looks like it was smashed into a rock, the fall was messy,” Alexi continues to rant as we walk to the shop together, but my feet fucking freeze the moment we get to the front.“Woah, what a fucking handsome rich dude, he looks like the wealthy God from Greek. Damn, I suddenly remember I have a working pussy,” she whispers, eyes wide and stuck to the tall figure casually smoking in front of my shop like he owns the place.“What the hell, Alexi… Thought you were the top and you’re not into ‘dicks’?” I ask, forcing a smile, but the truth is, my stomach is in knots, flipping like it’s on crack.“Yeah, but trying it once with that gorgeous figure is an achievement,” she mutters. I don’t laugh. I can’t even move a fucking muscle.Carlo. That stupidly gorgeous bastard. His shirt is slightly open, tattoos on full display, hair slicked perfectly to the side, fucking polished from head to toe like he belongs in a mafia fantasy. His head’s down, so he hasn’t seen us yet, b

    Blaze“You actually suck at this. Move. Let me do it.”Alexi snatches the wrench from my hand like I just committed some kind of sacred sin, and I don’t even fight her on it. I step back, wiping sweat from my neck with the back of my hand, watching her lean over the greasy engine like she owns the damn thing.“You know I’m still recovering from rich-boy trauma, right?” I mutter, lighting a cigarette and squinting at her through the smoke. “Three weeks out and I still flinch every time I see marble floors.”She snorts. “Yeah, well, this ain’t no penthouse, sugar. This is grease, fuel, and freedom. Welcome back to the land of the living.”I smirk a little.Three months. That’s how long it’s been since I walked out of Carlo’s place and didn’t look back. Since I shoved every memory, every fucked-up emotion, and every craving for his touch into a goddamn box and tossed it somewhere far away.This new place? It’s loud, rough, smells like gasoline and old tires, and I fucking love it. I open

    Carlo“Whiskey. Double shot. Don’t go light.”The bartender doesn’t ask questions. Just pours and slides it over, it’s been a long time I came here but they still treat me like a regular. The glass hits my lips, and it burns like it’s supposed to. I stare at the bar stand where Blaze used to stand, all cocky and full of heat. It’s dead now. Cold. Like someone ripped the fucking soul out of the place.I down another.The club smells different without him here. It’s got that same stale sweat and desperation vibe, but it’s missing the spice. The fire. The fucking heartbeat. And I hate that I came here thinking maybe I could feel close to him. Maybe I’d see a shadow of him in the corners. Dumb shit like that.“You look like you need more than just a drink, man.”The voice comes from behind me. Smooth. Confident. I turn my head and there’s a guy—dark hair, pierced lip, smirking like he knows exactly what he’s offering. I don’t respond right away. Just stare.He’s not Blaze. But he’s got th

    CarloDays pass.Then weeks.Then fucking months.Every morning I wake up hoping he’s on the couch. Hoping I’ll smell his skin again, hear him cussing at the coffee machine. But it’s just silence. Cold, empty fucking silence that echoes louder than a scream.The bed feels too fucking big. I roll to his side every night like a goddamn addict chasing a fix that ain’t there. I breathe into his pillow even though the scent’s faded. I still look for his towel on the bathroom rack. His boots by the door. But all I see is absence.I hire a private investigator. I pay triple to get the best. They come up with nothing. No name, no face, no trace. Like he never fucking existed.I start checking the places we used to hang out—bars, the old underground garage, that beat-up taco truck near Fifth where he always asked for extra hot sauce and never finished the food. I even go back to the last racing ring we chilled at, the one where he nearly punched a mechanic for scratching someone else’s car. I
