Do you agree with what Sienna said to Diablo? About the sacrifices that SHE made and the burden that she is carrying?
Sienna:I walked to the front door where Alonzo was waiting for me.His eyes met mine, but I was quick to look away as I forced myself to keep my head high. Of course, he would be trusting his right hand to do the job. The man didn’t even bother leaving his office to come and see me before I left.“Your things are already in the house. The maids should be arranging them by now.” Alonzo said, and I nodded.“I told you, you were never going to come between my children. I wasn’t going to allow it. See, Maria stayed, and it was you who was chosen to leave.” Netania said from behind me. Alonzo opened his mouth to respond but I raised my hand, stopping him. I turned to face the woman, knowing that she wasn’t expecting that as a reaction from me. But I already told Diablo; I fought my own battles, I didn’t run away from them.“Well, now you can clap your hands and cheer for both your children. And one day, when things turn into reality, when you wake up from the fantasy that you’re living in,
Diablo:“I’m sorry, boss. She refused to call when I tried to get her to do so.” Alonzo said, making my heart drop. “She said that you chose to send her away. She doesn’t want to speak to you, nor does she want to see you. She signed the paper and told me that she would leave. She doesn’t even want to see us at court. She says her lawyers will be…”I broke the glass that was on the table, stopping Alonzo. His eyes widened in surprise and I could tell that he was taken back by my reaction. The man’s eyes widened in surprise and he looked away from me for a second before I shook my head as I got up from my chair and walked toward him.“And you just let her leave?” I asked, and he shook his head.“I didn’t. I tried to stop her, but you know how Sienna is when she doesn’t want to listen to something. She chose not to stay, she said that she no longer wanted to stay.” He said, and I shook my head as I took a step back. This was impossible, Sienna is not the type to just walk away. She would
Sienna:“Leave,” I said, glaring at my brother who raised an eyebrow at me.“I am surprised that you have yet to say a word…”“I said leave.” I said, snapping at Carlos who frowned at my reaction. “You were very fond of taking me away from my peace, I doubt that you think that I am going to fucking give you yours.”“Is that a threat?” He asked, and I scoffed before grabbing the glass that I had on the table in front of me. I grabbed it and threw it at him. His eyes widened as the glass shattered and I grabbed the knife that was on the tray before walking toward him. I pinned him against the wall behind him and held the knife to his neck, making him gulp at the sight of it.“This is my threat,” I said, looking at the broken glass around us. I cut his skin, and though I could tell that he wanted to move, he wasn’t dumb, he knew not to. “And this was my warning,”I took a step back and threw the knife on the floor in front of him, and I couldn’t help but notice that he let out a breath th
Diablo:“What do you mean by you’re not going to sign the papers, Diablo? She clearly chose to…”“I know my wife enough to know that she wouldn’t be filing a divorce without talking to me. It is something that I would do. Not to hurt her, I would file for it and send it to her, but I know her enough to know that she would fight me before she does. She would have to reach final resolves before she’s decided to file such a paper.” I said, stopping my father, recalling how she was warned by her father on our wedding day, how she was sent here a spy. The note was clear, but I knew her enough to know that she wouldn’t turn her back on me.“You never know someone well enough to know their intentions, Diablo. She married you a year ago for a certain peace, do you really believe, that within this year, she really did fall in love with you? Do you believe, in this year, that she chose not to turn her back on you?” He asked, making my chest ache. “Diablo, I know that it is hard to accept, but t
Sienna:“You are going to need to get something to eat,” mom said, walking inside the room. Her eyes met mine and I looked away from my mother before I sat on the edge of the bed, making my chest ache.She looked down at the glass that was shattered on the floor and shook her head before she nodded at the two maids to walk toward the glass to clean the mess that I made. I glared at the women and shook my head.“I don’t want to eat anything, mother.”“You are going to need to eat, and you are going to need to leave this room. You can’t keep fighting your brother whatever chance that you get. The man is trying to make amends with you but it seems to me that it is you…”“Do you really believe that of all people, Carlos is trying to make amends with me? The man has done nothing but ruin my life, and he has done nothing but try to break me, mother. I was always his challenge and I am surprised that you are pretending not to know your son.” I said, looking at her. “I don’t even understand ho
Alonzo:“Neither one of them is willing to sign the damn paper. Diablo wants to speak to Sienna, and my beloved bitch of a sister is being a bitch about everything that concerns that stupid thing.” Carlos said, and I scoffed as I looked out the window, taking a whiff of my cigarette.“We are going to need to make sure that they do. Them being divorced is not going to be finalized without their signatures. But it is doing something when it comes to breaking things on the inside. I am not sure about Sienna, but I know that Maria and Diablo are not talking. Netania knows not to approach Diablo, and the man is barely talking to me. Things here and whatever peace the man thinks he had is being disrupted.” I said, keing my eyes on the garden.I had to admit, I didn’t think that it would be this easy to shake the ground of this family. But if my mother was right about something long ago, it was the fact that love did weaken the strongest of men. It amazed me how much of an effect it had on Di
Diablo:“Has anyone seen Maria?” I heard my mother ask, taking me off guard as she did.“What’s going on?” I asked, and she shook her head as she gave me the best smile that she could muster, clearly wanting to hide what I just heard from her. “What is it about Maria?”“Nothing gets past you, does it, son?” She asked, and I crossed my arms over my chest. Mom sighed and looked away from me, I knew that she clearly wanted to hide what she felt was going on with Maria. Her leaving the house without permission was something that I didn’t want to deal with, and the idea of the two of us not talking must have been the reason behind that.“I couldn’t find her in her room. The maids said that she went out of the room. The last they saw her was in the kitchen. I know that she wouldn’t leave the house without your permission, Diablo. She knows not to be too foolish to do so.” Mom said, and I raised an eyebrow.“Knowing your daughter, do you really believe that what you said was true? Maria serio
Sienna:I walked out of the room for the first time in days. And I knew that this was going to come off as a surprise to everyone.“Sienna?” Alexandra asked, her eyes widening in surprise when she took sight of me.The child in her arms whimpered, but she paid no attention to that as she gave the baby to the maid.“Go and take care of your child. You know that being a first time mom can be hard,” I said, turning my attention from her. She was the least of my concerns right now. First, I was going to need to deal with my brother. If he was the one who brought me here, if Alonzo was working with him, which I hoped wasn’t true, then I was going to have to know how to deal with that. I was going to deal Alexandra later. My parents were the least of my concerns right now. If anything, my father’s presence was a threat to Carlos, and unless he managed to get rid of me, I knew that my brother feared my presence.“Look who we have here,” it was father who spoke. I turned to face him, surprised
“This war is just getting started, I do hope that you realize that.” He said, looking at us Alonzo, who did not bother to say a word. He knew what it was he was signed up to when he did. And he was well aware that this war was going to take a lot more out of them than it was going to give them.“This war is going to end with the death of Diablo. This is going to be the only way of this family to break and when it is broken, we will know how to act.” Alonzo said, choosing to respond calmly. “You managed to play your daughter well, I have to admit. I did not expect that out of you, but Sienna seemed to fall for the act of you being on her side. I believe that Myla would have told her the truth by now.“My love lost the one person who would have stood by her side, and that was going to be Elton. With the man dead, she knew that she had no reason to live. She knew that I would not allow her to be my wife anymore. And that was something that you did not want. And after Carlos's death, she k
Diablo:We stood by the door, knowing that we had to get things done.The night was going to be a long one and I knew that Myla expected us to be arriving.I looked at Sienna, who was in pain, but I knew that asking her to stay back was not going to help. She was going to be stubborn and was going to choose doing what she wanted anyway. Might as well allow her to come. Being able to see her would help me focus on the target and the job that we needed to take care of.“We're going to go inside and trust me, this is going to be one hard task. Are you sure that you are ready for it?” I asked, knowing that this was my last shot, and doing so, my eyes met Alonzo's as she stood from the window, watching us in silence. His men were stationed around the windows and I knew that it was only a matter of time before they pulled out their guns. They were just waiting for the order.“This is going to be our one shot Diablo. The last thing that I want is for us to back away. The men are outside and h
Sienna:“How did you manage to leave? Mom just literally calls me. How did you arrive?” Diablo wrapped an arm around my waist. He pulled me to his chest and I could tell that he was both worried and frightened.“Your phone was bugged, son, and we figured that we could use that to our advantage. We were already here when we called you. The one thing that happened was that we were waiting for Alexandra to show up. Sienna wanted to give her a chance to be honest, but it seems to us that it is impossible.” Natania said, taking her son off guard. I knew that Diablo did not expect her to be there, and the fact that she was here with me was one that I didn't even expect. I expected her to fight me. However, I was surprised when she told me that she was coming with me.“I can't believe that the two of you went off whatever arguments that you had for this. And you should be at the hospital. You're still yet to recover, Sienna.” Diablo said, and I raised an eyebrow. He smirked and connected his
Diablo:“What do you mean that she wants to leave the hospital, Mom? I literally told you to keep her there. What do you mean that she's leaving?”“Your wife here does not listen to a word that is being said. I told her what you said but she said that it doesn't make a difference. She is going to leave. And trust me, she has good reason for that. But Diablo, you are going to need to be careful, both you and Maria.” She said, changing the subject. I frowned in confusion and I knew that something was going on. If Sienna was leaving the hospital like that, then something had happened or was going to happen.“What do you mean that we need to be careful? My wife is going to leave the hospital when she is still sick and you are asking me to be careful about something that is yet to happen.” I said Snapping got her. I knew that it was not like me to do so, especially with my mother, but right now I had a lot to think about and Sienna leaving the hospital was the last thing that I needed to be
Sienna:I found when I opened my eyes to find myself in a white room.I was your sleep on the hospital bed. And though I still could not remember what happened, I knew that if I was here that either I was shot or something bad happened.This was the 4th time that I've woken up. Only at first, I was alone. This time I knew that I was not. And that fact alone had me aware of my surroundings. I had tried to sit up four times until now. And on each attempt the nurses would stop me. The last time she had put me to sleep. This time it seemed to me that she was no longer here.I looked around the room, trying to find Diablo, only to frown in confusion when I found Natania sitting on the couch. Her eyes met mine and she smiled before she got up. I tried setting up which you gently pushed me back, not allowing me to do so.“What happened?” I asked weakly. My head throbbed and it felt like I was being hit on my forehead with a hammer. I was not going to mention the top of my head, which felt li
Maria:“Are you sure that you want to do this, Diablo?” I asked, looking at my brother, knowing that he was in conflict. The fact that Sienna was at the hospital was not something that I liked. I did not know who shot her, but I knew that this was something that he had to take care of. It was supposed to be a priority, not Lexi.“We are not going to go back from this, Maria. The number of things that we have to deal with are countless and delaying one thing is not going to help us. At least we might as well get this one done. If we managed to get her, capture her, then things are going to end the way that we want. At least I hope so.” He said, not bothering to look at me.I knew that he had a lot on his mind and that he was thinking of so much. Sienna was someone that he loved. It pained me to know that I was going to be a reason to separate the two of them.The idea of being the person that was to be the one that hurt him was not something that I liked. I was just thankful that he wa
Diablo:Anger was a small word to describe what I felt.I kept my eyes on my wife, who was breathing heavily.An oxygen mask covered her face. Without it, she would not be able to breathe.The bullet that hit her left lung, nearly touching her heart.The sight of her blood as she lost conscience, not processing that she was shot, played in my mind.I didn't know who did it, who shot the fucking bullet, but I knew that it was not something that I could just ignore or let go of. Whoever did this was going to pay with their lives and I was going to be sure that they knew it.“Diablo, you are going to need to eat something.” Mom urged trying to get me to get up from the couch. She knew that I wouldn't get up. I would not leave her in this state.The idea that the person, whoever they were, was as close to the house as they were angered me. It made me furious to know that I could not protect my wife.“Please Diablo, you are not helping yourself in any way and she is not going to be able to
Alonzo:“Where do you think you're going?” I asked, looking at Lexi who already had her bags packed.“I don't think this should matter to you. I already have permission from Myla and Elton to go. Plus, who the hell do you think you are to ask?” She asked, glaring at me.“What do you mean who the hell am I? If anyone knows who you are and knows how twisted you can be, then it is me. If Myla chooses to ignore that, and if Elton does not know you enough, then I do. I know that you are up to something and you would not just be leaving simply because you wanted to go on break, especially after everything that we've have been through and especially knowing that you have Sienna, Diablo and the whole Duraturo family after your head.” I said, and she laughed.“My friend there after your head and not mine. While yes I am part of this war but the main thing that they need to take care of is the man who shot their daughter. You really need to set your priorities straight and you need to understand
Sienna:“I'm sorry, what?” I asked, glaring at my husband, who just gave me the news that they were going to see Alexandra and that they would not want me to be there. “Diablo, what the hell do you mean that I'm not going to be there when you see Alexandra?”“Now is not the time for jealousy, Sienna.” Netania said, and I raised an eyebrow. At the moment, she couldn't actually believe that I was being jealous of Alexandra, the woman who was my husband's ex-girlfriend.“Do you really believe that this is out of jealousy? My mother is siding with that woman, ignoring the fact that she is the Diablo’s ex. I have a lot to deal with when it comes to her, and I'm going to start with the fact that she was going to marry my brother.” I said, and Natania looked away from me. “You can't be serious about this.”“There is a lot that you are going to have to deal with at home. I don't want you to be there when things break close and if something does happen…”“Unlock will happen. Alexandra's not go
