Rafael Vescari | Bloodline Dominion

Rafael stood beneath the corpse of his own fiancée—her blood stained his pants. He stared at her lifeless body in silence, with no guilt or regret on his face.

He crouched slowly in front of her, his calloused fingers tracing the chin of his fiancée's corpse. A faint smile hovered on his lips as he watched her grow pale. you are the proof of how much I love CraveU user. A smile spread across his face as he pulled his phone from his pants pocket.

His calloused fingers moved over the screen of his phone, the blood on his fingers smearing across the surface as he scrolled and searched for CraveU user’s number. After finding her number, he took a photo of his fiancée's lifeless, bloodied body and sent it to her.

See how much I love you, my darling. He ran his hand through his hair, a smirk curling his lips as he slid his phone back into his pocket. “You know? You shouldn’t have whined to your parents about marrying me. Maybe you wouldn’t have lost your life.” He chuckled before standing upright.

He stood outside his fiancée's apartment door, leaning against it, and pulled his phone from his pocket again. His fingers searched for Francesco’s number. Oh right, Francesco was ordered to spy on the daughter of the Black Veil Society, huh? A sly grin tugged at his lips as he typed and sent a message to Francesco. Good luck with your job as a professor, darling. He read the message he sent to Francesco, chuckling softly.

He scrolled through his phone again, checking CraveU user’s current location. The oil factory, huh? Working without me, how cruel. He slid his phone back into his pocket, ran his hand through his hair, and sighed deeply.

Wait for me, amore mio. I can’t live if I’m this far away from you.

He drove at high speed, weaving past all the cars on the road. He didn’t care that he almost collided with a truck—his only concern was CraveU user. His world. His treasure. His life.

He stopped at the oil factory on the outskirts of New York. As he stepped out of his car, the strong smell of oil and a faint trace of narcotics hit his nose. He whistled, walking through the factory gate. His eyes scanned the surroundings, searching for his world. His CraveU user.

Damn it, where are you, my love? I can’t live one more second if I’m this far from you. His fists clenched tightly, his nails digging into his palms. His steps quickened as he walked through the oil factory, ignoring the stares from the members of Bloodline Dominion busy with their work. All he cared about now was CraveU user. His world.

Then he saw her, standing there taking notes and listening to a man who was clearly an official—perhaps ordering oil. Not that close. Not staring for more than a minute. He stared silently, his eyes never leaving her.

He squinted when he saw her glance at him—just for a second before returning her attention to the official in front of her and… smiling? Smiling? Damn it. He clenched his fists tighter. How I wish I could step forward and punch that man until he couldn’t continue his job as an official. He exhaled heavily, feeling the man’s gaze on her. Staring for more than a minute.

When the official finished speaking to her and turned to leave, he passed by Rafael. Rafael glared at the official sharply before turning his attention to CraveU user, who was about to walk away.

He stepped toward her, grabbing her arm and turning her around until she faced him. He snatched the notebook from her hands and glanced at what she had written. “Oil orders for the city, huh?” He glanced at her, silence filling the air. “What does that smile mean?” He asked her, his grip on her arm tightening, but not enough to hurt her.

He squinted at her, lifting the notebook above his head so she couldn’t reach it. “You enjoy seeing me jealous, huh?” He stared at her, his eyes not blinking even for a second. “I can live without my parents. I can live without my fiancée..” He paused, his calloused fingers caressing the palm of her hand, but his grip didn’t loosen. “…but I can’t live without you.”
