From Heart With Hate

Running on Gasoline

"Caterina, please..."

"Look how pathetic you are, begging for your life? Truly your mother's son ain't you?"
The tattooed man sneered in disgust.
"I could never understand, why father always favoured you. Look at you, you aren't worthy of being a DeVille's son."

He clearly couldn't forget how his father betrayed his mother for a housemaid. And how his father always favoured Niccolò over him. Oh, how jealous he was when the day he was born, and that jealousy turned into hatred the day his precious Camille died.

"Caterina, baby don't do that. This is not you." 
Niccolò's voice was barely a whisper now.

The brunette was shaking as she took Enzo's gun aiming it at the gangster's heart. Her face was now pale like a ghost and Niccolò could bet he saw her eyes change. 

"Do it and I will reward you with the best sex we have ever had," Enzo whispered in the brunette's ear.

"Alright I will give you a countdown, baby."

Caterina pulled the trigger.

She was shaking badly waiting for the recoiling of the gun which never occurred.

Yes, the bastard gave her an empty gun, he doesn't want things to end this easily, at least for Niccolò.

Everyone was confused including Lorenzo's men as
the maniac giggled like a kid. It was indeed very entertaining for him.

Caterina was whimpering, she couldn't believe she actually pulled the trigger on Niccolò, the boy who loved her and taught her how to play the piano for the first time, the man who was ready to change for her.

I could have killed him!

Suddenly she felt a sudden jerk on her upper body, making the gun fall, only for her to realise a sharp cold metal against her neck.

The brunette gasps in shock.

"Did you really think, I would make a fucking whore, kill my brother?"

"DON'T YOU DARE HURT HER LORENZO! I WILL MAKE YOU REGRET COMING BACK!"

Niccolò felt a sudden rage on seeing the love of his life, whimpering against the cold grip of his half-brother, who looks very much ready to slit her throat any moment from now.

"We will see that later, brother."

"What do you want? You want revenge right? Come on then kill me! There's no point in hurting her!"

"Because I want to make you see her die in front of your eyes! Like I watched my fucking girlfriend burning down to ashes! "

"I was the bloody reason she died! Kill me!"

"You know how much I love you Nicco, killing you was never on my list, it was always her! And you know what?"

The madman growls as he laughs, bringing his lips closer to Caterina's ear.

"This bitch, was so desperate to kill you, that she didn't even realise what I was making her do!"

"She killed people because I told her to! She did everything I asked for like everything!"

Caterina was sobbing, as she looked sideways. Unable to look into Niccolò's grey eyes.

"She didn't even realise the monster I was turning her into. Funny isn't it? What hatred can make people do?" He says as he brought the blade closer to her throat, causing beads of blood to appear on her neck.
