~ Lorenzo ~

The force of the explosion blew the entire roof off the building. The shockwave slammed into us like a solid wall, lifting Kate right off the concrete floor and throwing her across the dirt yard.

I was lifted off my feet at the exact same second, flying backward before landing heavily on my spine. Sharp, excruciating pain shot up my back, knocking the wind completely out of my lungs.

I forced myself up immediately, my chest heaving as I sprinted toward the spot where Kate had landed

    ~ Lorenzo The paramedics took Kate into the back of the vehicle immediately. They pulled me aside to treat my burns, but they did not drive off right away, claiming they needed to attend to Kate and stabilize her before making any major movement down the rough road.A young medic wrapped white gauze around both of my raw hands, bandaging them tightly, and handed me two pills of pain killers. I swallowed the pills dry, barely feeling them go down my throat.The moment he finished, I stood up from the bumper, my nerves slightly calmer now that the chemical haze of shock was wearing off. I turned to walk toward the back doors of the ambulance to join Kate, but two police officers called me back, stepping directly into my path.I really did not feel like talking to the law tonight, but I walked over anyway, my shoulders heavy. "What do you need to know?""We need a rundown of what happened here, sir," the lead officer said, holding a small notepad. "Who set the charge?""I do not know mu

The shockwave slammed into us like a solid wall, lifting Kate right off the concrete floor and throwing her across the dirt yard.I was lifted off my feet at the exact same second, flying backward before landing heavily on my spine. Sharp, excruciating pain shot up my back, knocking the wind completely out of my lungs.I forced myself up immediately, my chest heaving as I sprinted toward the spot where Kate had landed. The heat radiating from the burning wooden beams scorched my face, but I did not give a damn."Kate!" I roared, my eyes watering from the thick, black smoke hanging in the air.When I reached her body, my heart stopped cold. The hem of her shirt and her trousers were literally on fire, bright orange flames creeping up her legs.I entered full panic mode, dropping to my knees and beating the flames with my bare hands. I ignored the searing, agonizing heat burning the skin on my palms and forear

    ~ Kate ~I stared in absolute horror as Marcus’s body froze mid-breath and went completely limp. He crumpled onto the hard concrete, dark red blood spreading quickly beneath his chest. My mind went blank, entirely unable to process what had just happened in a single second.Lorenzo stood frozen across from me, his jaw dropping open in shock. He slowly raised his head toward the dark doorway.Standing near the threshold was his father, a heavy smoking gun held casually in his right hand.The three guards who were holding on to Lorenzo froze instantly, pulling their weapons to face the old man. Before they could pull their triggers, Lorenzo reacted. He yanked the hidden gun from behind his belt and shot the nearest guard in the back. At the same second, his father fired two quick rounds, taking down the second man.The third guard spun toward Lorenzo and fired a wild shot. Lorenzo dodged to the side, but the bullet grazed his shoulder. He grunted, aiming his weapon and shooting the guar

    I stared at Marcus, panic flaring wildly in my chest. what ever I say now would sound like a convenient lie. The situation was a thousand times worse than I had ever imagined.I glanced at Kate. She was wide eyed, tears spilling over the black tape on her face, trembling violently from Marcus's raw outburst. I looked away quickly, tears stinging behind my own eyes. I did not know how much longer I could stall him. Marcus looked mentally unhinged, his mind frayed to the breaking point."Do you know what it feels like, Lorenzo?" Marcus sobbed, his shaking voice echoing off the concrete walls. "Do you have any idea what it is like to watch the only two people you cared about get murdered while your best friend just stands there watching?""Oh God Marcus no, please," I pleaded, taking a cautious step. "I was young, new to the Mafia! I was helpless! I could not have done anything to stop my father!""Liars!" Marcus screamed, his face twisting in agonizing pain. "You were not helpless! Look

  • The Mafia's Don Plus Size Bride    The buried truth

    ~ FLASHBACK ~~ Lorenzo ~ My hands were trembling inside my oversized coat pockets. My father had dragged me along on another brutal enforcement run, said it was about time I used that gun I had been practicing with. He wanted me to know the real world.The place was very far from home, but I was familiar with it, it was down into the grimy alleyways of Marcus's hometown.The raid had turned into a bloody nightmare within minutes. Bullets tore through the brick walls, sending clouds of red dust into the air. Bulky guards from my father's inner circle formed a moving shield around me, shoving me toward the back of our getaway van.Through the smoke, I saw young Marcus running blindly across the yard, screaming his lungs out. "Helen! Adrian! Where are you?"I was certain they had already reached the vehicle. "Marcus!" I yelled, waving my arm from the open side of the human shield surrounding me . "Get in! Over here!"Marcus did not hear me over the gunfire. He kept running deeper into

    I ground my teeth, Marcus looked terrible there was no way he was in his right state of mind. My head was literally pounding, a sharp spike of pain throbbing behind my eyes with every beat of my heart.My eyes met Kate's, she was tied down to that wooden chair, her eyes wide with sheer terror above the thick black tape. I looked away guilt nagging at me, stealing the air from my lungs.I did not want to provoke Marcus in any way, but I had to change his mind or at least stall until my men surrounded the perimeter of the police found us, still a miracle happened "Marcus, listen to me," I started again, keeping my hands visible at chest height."Shut up, Lorenzo!" Marcus barked, his finger tightening slightly on the trigger."Adrian's death hurt me too, Marcus!" I stated firmly, refusing to quiet down. "You and Adrian were my only true friends growing up! Do you think I did not care that he died?""Do not speak his name!" Marcus yelled, his chest heaving as he paced frantically. "You
