Carlo

“Pick the fucking call, Blaze…” I mumble, pressing my phone to my ear again. It rings out. Again.

And again.

And again.

Nothing.

I sit there in the car, parked by the curb like a fucking idiot, with my hand tightening around the steering wheel so hard my knuckles start to pop. My jaw is locked. My chest? Pounding. I don’t know what the fuck is going on, but I know something’s not right.

It’s 7pm. I was supposed to pick him after practice hours ago. And he texted earlier—*“I’m racing with Alexi and the boys.”*

But I just spoke to Alexi.

And guess what she said?

“He never showed up.”

What the fuck?

I slam my hand against the wheel. “Fuck!”

I don’t even know where to start. My mind is not just spinning—it’s crashing into walls. I try his number again, because maybe it’s just me being paranoid. Maybe he lost his phone or was probably too busy to remember he asked me to pick him up. But even Blaze would’ve at least texted by now, even if it’s just to tell me to not come.

But nothing.

  • Tangled Hearts On Wheels   Chapter 75

    BlazeIt’s been two damn days. Two days of silence. Two days of losing my mind in that white-walled hellhole, wondering if Carlo was gonna find me, Turns out, the men dropped me off at the fucking hospital entrance this morning like I was some package they forgot to return. No words. No explanation. Just dumped me at the emergency entrance with a smug “you’ll be fine” and drove off.I didn’t ask questions.I didn’t care.They had put my phone back into my pocket, I just picked up the phone and called him.“Hey, I’m at the hospital entrance, Come get me,” I said.“Blaze!” I heard him scream my name, then the sound of his keys, a slammed door, then the line cut.When he showed up thirty minutes later, he didn’t even park properly. He left the engine running, stormed into the hospital like a goddamn storm, eyes darting like he was ready to kill someone.The second he saw me—bruised, drained, and still in the same fucking clothes—I swear something inside him broke.“Get in the car first,

    Blaze“That guy’s still behind me, isn’t he?” I mutter under my breath, not bothering to look back again.I caught sight of him earlier when I walked into the hospital, hanging near the goddamn vending machine. Black suit, shades indoors, that weird stiff posture… too fucking clean to blend in. I ignored it at first. People wear suits. Whatever. But then he popped up again near the elevator while I was headed to my mom’s floor. And again at the pharmacy downstairs.Now I’m outside, walking past the old kiosk near the bike lot, helmet in hand, and I can feel it. That itch under my skin. That uncomfortable heaviness in the air that tells me someone’s watching. Someone is following me.I grip the helmet tighter, jaw clenched, eyes forward. I don’t make scenes. That’s not my style. But I’m ready to break someone’s fucking teeth if I have to.I pass the curve, heading toward where I parked my motorcycle. My mind flashes back to mom. She looked tired as hell today. Thinner. She didn’t say m

    Carlo“You told him, didn’t you?”I slam the office door shut behind me, my knuckles already clenched so tight my nails are cutting into my palm. William looks up from his desk, calmly flipping a page in whatever bullshit file he’s pretending to care about. I don’t even wait for him to answer.My fist lands hard across his face.He stumbles back in the chair, almost falling off. A pen clatters to the ground. There’s a beat of stunned silence, then he slowly lifts his head, wiping the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand. He looks at the blood like it’s something fascinating. Like it’s not the fucking least he deserves.“So, that’s how we’re doing this now?” he mutters, finally meeting my eyes. His smirk is irritating. Too calm. Too smug. “Gonna beat me into confessing something I didn’t even do?”“Cut the crap,” I snap. “Don’t act like I don’t fucking know.”He laughs under his breath. That stupid, low laugh that makes my skin crawl. Like he’s the smartest man in the room. Li

    Carlo“What the fuck does he want now?”I mutter under my breath, eyeing my buzzing phone like it’s some kind of ticking bomb. My father’s name flashes on the screen. He never calls me just to say hi. If he’s calling, it’s either to bark orders or stir shit. The empire’s been quiet lately, which only means he’s bored and looking for something to fuck with.I roll my neck to the side, trying to ease the stiffness. The weight of documents and board decisions has been piling up for weeks. Normally I push most of it to my secretaries, but today’s work was something I couldn’t hand off. Still, I’m not about to let this phone call ruin my day.I answer the call and wedge the phone between my ear and shoulder while I pack up the last of the files into my briefcase. The clock says 4 PM. Blaze’s training wraps up in an hour, and I promised I’d pick him up. He likes that shit—me showing up for him. I like it too.“Come home now.”That’s all he says. Cold, clipped. No room for questions. The cal

    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
