Even in Death not to Part [18+]

Chapter 12 - The Fall Out

I feel free, not a care in the world as I dance. Unfortunately that feeling did not last long.

I felt Max's hand move from my body so quickly. I glanced back and I saw Lorenzo next to us holding Max's wrist so his arm was stretched away from my body.

Everything then seemed to happen so fast after that. Lorenzo pulled out his gun and shot Max in the hand, he let out a cry of pain it was hard to hear over the music and the other screams in the room.

Lorenzo was't finished though, after that he grabbed me and pulled me next to him, he looked at me and then looked back at Max, the rage in his eyes was like nothing I had seen before, it was like he was possessed. Lorenzo grabbed Max's other hand and snapped his wrist breaking it.

I stood there in shock. My heart hurt for Max. He was innocent in this, he helped me to have fun and to forget Lorenzo for the briefest of moments and how hurt and used I felt.

Lorenzo grabbed my arm

"we leave now" he said

I tried to pull away from him, but I couldn't as he pulled me away.

"I am so sorry Max, please forgive me" I shouted unsure if he even heard but Lorenzo did, I saw his jaw tighten.

He didn't wait for the driver, he took the keys from the valet and demanded me to get in the  large black 4x4. I didn't argue I got in quickly as soon as my door closed his foot was on the pedal and we sped off.

Every time we drove past a street light I could see his knuckles were white, where he was grabbing the steering wheel so tightly. Every gear change was done with such force I thought the gear stick would break.

He was driving so fast, my heart was racing. He fumbled around in his inside pocket and pulled out his pack of cigarettes and placed one between his lips, he threw the packet down between us and pulled out his lighter and sparked it. The flame from the lighter lit up his eyes, they looked dark, so dark they could have been black, it scared me.

I held on to the edge of my seat as the speed in the car didn't let up. I could feel the anger radiating from him, he aggressively slammed the top of the steering wheel with his hand, it made me physically jump.

"FUUUUCK" he shouted.

I didn't say a word the whole drive back to the house, tears began to form in my eyes. I stared out the window hoping he would not see.

When we finally arrived at his estate the car skidded to a stop.

Lorenzo got out and slammed the door behind him, leaving me inside. I looked out of the window and saw Marco running out of the house to meet Lorenzo. I slowly opened the car door and got out.

"Your father was on the phone he says-" said Marco

"NOT NOW!" shouted Lorenzo trying to dismiss Marco as he paced the driveway

"He said you cost him the deal"

"NOT FUCKING NOW MARCO!!!!" Lorenzo's voice barked at him

The fire in Lorenzo was building at some point it was going to explode like a volcano. Shit Marco please stop talking! just stop! I was screaming in my head hoping by some miracle he would hear me but he didn't..

"He says -" Marco couldn't finish his sentence Lorenzo had him with one hand by the throat the other on his gun pointing at Marco's head.

"LORENZO NO!!" I screamed running over to them.

I had grown fond of Marco, he was like a big friendly giant, don't get me wrong if you didn't know him and saw him in a dark alley you would 100% run the other way, but he is gentle and kind on the inside even if he is a killer on the outside.
