CHAPTER 15

DIESEL

Corinne was drunk, I can see it perfectly the way her cheeks blooms and her eyes waters and even her lips part. She is drunk.

I wanted to keep her, even if forever. I can just live with just her by my side.

But I can’t. Because I signed up for this life in the first place. I put myself in this position when I knock on their heavy guarded gates that fateful night.

Now, there’s no turning back. Because if I do turn back, it will be the end of me too.

I can’t protect Corinne, if I am buried six feet deep.

Corinne was a heavy drinker, so I am sure that no matter what I say or what I do she won’t remember it when she’s sober enough.

I lean in closer to her sleeping form as I kiss her tender lips, how I missed those lips that sends me in oblivion and in hell at the same time. Hell, because I know I craved that lips so much but I should do nothing about it.

I still can’t take full responsibility of Corinne because her Father is a big shot when it comes to politics and even important to the Cosa Nostra.

In order for me to protect and took avenge on her that abuse she went through on his hands, I have to gain more allies and protection or even power. Even if it means snatching it to my dearest cousin.

That was the original plan since the beginning I did sign up for, I need to be in the position on where Blaze is, like how I snatch the position and life I have right now.

I thought it will be easier, but throughout the years, Blaze becomes more and more ruthless and powerful.

He knows who he is. He knows what he is.

That arrogant son of a b***h.

I looked at her and looked at the bruise I had on my lower stomach, the bruise I had when the fucker decides his faith and squeeze his existence on Corinne’s life.

He tortured me, with his men. When he found out I had s*x with Corinne, he did torture me that I even beg him to just kill me. but that fucker knows enough.

He had this fascination with Corinne ever since he saw her at the yacht. The first time we saw her beautiful face.

But I know Corinne is madly in love with me.

That’s my gain in the situation but the asshole decides who to stay and who is not in his life.

And he decides that Corinne will stay.

I drove Corinne home past midnight, and his Father is waiting just outside their house and called some maids to help Corinne get up her bedroom.

“I told you to stay away from my daughter.”

I chuckle darkly. “No, fucker. You’re the one who should f*****g stay away from her. You and your f*****g filthy hands.”

He chuckles just as dark as I had chuckled at him, this filthy man has the audacity to contemplate who is good and who doesn’t to his own daughter, when in fact he is the one who is not good enough for her.

I still can’t take full responsibility of Corinne as of now, his father is a big shot in politics and someone the Cosa Nostra needs. So, if I decide to take one step ahead of Corinne there’s two group who will want my head. The government and the Cosa Nostra.

Saving Corinne this time without power and connections is going to be pointless if I also die while she’s under my protection. I will only give her false hope for the freedom she longs for. Because when the time comes that the Cosa Nostra and the Government that his father belongs to were after me, she will also be returned to the misery she is now.

I needed to be patient and calculated.

I can’t even let Blaze ruin this. Even not for me, just for her.

My life before without having Corinne is a trash. The life I had when I didn’t know her was the life that no one would even dare to live.

That’s why I did everything, I mean literally everything just to get out of that life, even if it means having to have someone else’s life.

She put colour and music in my life.

I longed too much for a beautiful and harmonious life. Not knowing that the life I chose live eight years ago is worse than the life I had before. Maybe it’s my karma for claiming a personality that isn’t for me.

But I thought, I can still turn my life around, I can change it. I can make my life a better one, and the only way to do that is to take down the Mafia Prince, Blaze Mayhem. In that way, I can live a very rich and grandiose lifestyle and I can protect the woman I love the most.

He scoffed in front of my face “You know that whenever and whatever you do, Corinne is not yours, she will never be yours.”

He snaps me back into the reality that I don’t have much time left to do all the plans I am planning, I thought that I still have three years just till Corinne turns 21. But I am not.

Corinne’s life is already written. And too bad, it’s not written on my pad.

We both look into each other’s eyes, face to face as fire is being present.

“I did get you, right?” He insults as he smirks. “You are nothing but a Mayhem’s dog. And we both know it.”

“How about you? We both know that you are his f*****g pervert of a father Senator Marcus Lewis.” I smiled snidely.

I saw him flinch but kept his calm but I know he’s burning in shame. Right, I f*****g know everything asshole.

“I just hope that you learn to show your arrogance in front of the Mayhem’s too.” He crossed his arms “If I had to choose. I would never choose you for my daughter.”

And we both f*****g whose daughter he’s referring to.
