Chapter 81

Blaze's voice cut through the silence, his eyes fixed on the road ahead. "You wanted to know about my family, right? Let me tell you now."

Sarah's gaze drifted from the window to Blaze's profile, her expression wary.

"My family's not like yours, Sarah. We're not normal. My father's a made man, a high-ranking member of the mafia. And my sister... she was caught in the crossfire."

Blaze's jaw clenched, his knuckles white on the steering wheel.

"She fell for the wrong guy, a gang leader from a rival family who killed my father. But he didn't love her, Sarah. He used her as a pawn to get to Rafael’s mother, to gain power and control."

Sarah's eyes widened her heart racing with anticipation.

"He manipulated her, played on her emotions, and she didn't see it. She thought she was in love, but really, she was just a tool for him to use." Blaze's voice dripped with venom.
