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
Diablo:“Why is she not waking up? She’s been in that room for hours, why is she still asleep?” Mom asked, looking at Maria who was laying in the ER with an oxygen tube in her mouth.Her chest rose and fell with each breath that she took, and the idea of her being in that room, her saying that it was Alonzo, and everything that happened in a span of a day just took me off guard.The last person that I expected to be playing dirty was my right hand, and though I knew that I should have expected anyone considering me doubting my own sister, this was beyond what I imagined.“Diablo, why is your sister not moving. Please let them make her wake up.” Mom begged. I knew that she was well aware that it was impossible for me to do so, but the pain that she was reflecting made my chest ache.All this time, it was Alonzo? God knew how much time this was, and how much damage did he make. Who was he working with? And for how long? All these were questions that played through my head made my heart a
Sienna:“I am surprised to see that you were willing to accept coming to sit beside us. With all the resentment that you’ve been showing, I believed that we would have needed more time to get to see your face at our table.” Carlos said, raising an eyebrow at me. “But I am glad that you have come to your senses, regardless. You know, you seem to be growing more stubborn, lately.”“I apologize, brother. I know that you are used to submissive women around you; but you know, as your sister, I have my character. I don’t like to submit to anyone but myself.” I said, and he scoffed.“Explains why you chose to submit to Mr. Duraturo, or was he a special case? I am curious, what you had you submitting to him? Was it his cock? Did he really manage to get my sister’s attention with a few inches of cock? You know, with Alexandra and you…” father banged the table with his fist, stopping him before he could go any further. I had to fight back the urge to flip the table on him, and judging by the sud
Diablo:I smiled when my sister opened her eyes to look at mom and dad.They sat by her side while I was by the door, and though I knew that she hadn’t seen me, I couldn’t help but find myself being angry. With her, with myself, with own family for what she went through.Had I known, I would have had the fucker’s head. I couldn’t have guessed it sooner, and I knew that had I not seen her, had I not followed her voice, she might have been dead.She turned to look around at the room before her eyes met mine. She didn’t have her voice, I knew that it would take her a while before she would be able to speak. She opened her mouth, but no voice came. She had lost the ability to voice out what she would want to say. Her eyes teared up and I sat beside her, taking her hand in mine just like I did years ago when we had just found her after she was kidnapped.“Your body is going to need to recover, your head too, my little sister.” I whispered to her. “The doctors did the best that they could, b
Sienna:“What are you doing, Sienna? I know that you are going to tell me that you are not doing anything, but truly, what are you doing?” Mom asked as the two of us walked out of the house, roaming the garden as I looked at the number of security men and cameras were outside.My father had the place well guarded, it was not something that I would be questioning. He was going to be doing so, of course. With the risk of me running away, of my brother causing trouble, God knows what Alexandra would do, and my mother just packing and leaving; he needed to be ‘safe’. One thing that he forgot was that I wasn’t like the others. I was the type to fight and I wasn’t afraid of doing so. Maybe he knew, and that was one of the reasons why he was often concerned.“I doubt that you would really believe that I am doing anything, mother. Had I been doing something, you would have known.” I said, and she scoffed.“Well, you claim that I wouldn’t have known and that is the main issue here, Sienna. I kn
“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
