And we have a Saturday morning early update.
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
Carlos:“You are giving her more than she should be able to have. You know that it is not going to get us anywhere with her!” I said, snapping at my father whose eyes were fixed on both my mother and Sienna as they were outside.“Your sister does not submit, nor does she believe the game that you are trying to play on her. The friendly kind brother who suddenly loves her. She is a lot smarter than that. You just underestimate her.” He said, keeping his eyes on her. “She is buying time, and she is well aware that I can see it. She is trying to get on my nerves and I am not going to give that to her. If she wants to fight you, then I am going to stand by her side against you.”“And why is that?” I asked, and he smiled.“I want to know how far she can go with this game. If she truly is going to resent the Duraturo, I want to know what she would be willing to do to prove it to us. She might think that she is smart, but I am ten steps ahead of her, I always will be.” He said, and I raised a
Diablo:I watched as my mother fought to feed my sister her soup.Maria was rejecting everything that we could have done to help her, and had it not been for the IV, I knew that she would have been fighting death out of starvation. But she was losing her own will to fight, she didn’t even care.“Come on, Maria, you need to eat.” Mom begged, she looked away from mom, closing her eyes as she did.“I think that it is best not to force her, ma’am.” The nurse said, looking at Maria. “She is still recovering, and it is normal for her not to want to eat at this stage.”“How is she going to recover if she is refusing to eat? She is not even looking at any of us.” Mom said, pleading with the nurse. I put my hand on my mother’s shoulder, gently massaging it before kissing the crown of her head.“Well, I believe if she is doing this, she might not want to recover to begin with. You know my beloved sister when she chooses to ignore all of us and when she hurts herself more than she already is.” I
Sienna:“You are going to attend the wedding?” Alexandra asked, looking at me as I chose a few dresses from the designer that brought them over.I didn’t respond as I laid my eyes on one of the pink dresses, a gentle colored dress that I knew wouldn’t draw too much attention to me. That the last thing that I wanted to consider to begin with.“I like these, thank you.” I said, nodding at all the dresses that I chose. The pink one was the one I liked most, but there were four others that I chose in case I changed my mind.The designer nodded and two of the maids took them, knowing to send them to the drycleaners.“I was talking to you.”“I heard and chose to ignore you,” I said, giving her the best sarcastic smile that I could muster. I nodded at the maids and designer to walk out of the room. A manner that I knew that she didn’t know how to do. Lexi had no control over anything or anyone in the house, and though I was away for a long while, I still had more influence over the employees
Diablo:“You know that telling your mother about this is not going to end well. She is going to break your nose, mine too.” Dad said, making me laugh.“We are going to end up having our noses broken, then.” I said, shrugging my shoulders. “But this is something that we have to do. This wedding is one that we have to attend, if she wants to come, then she can, if not, then she can decide against it. While I know that she is not going to like it, I am going to have to deal with the fact that she is going to have to accept it one way or the other.”“And what if she doesn’t?”“Then I am going to need you to convince her.” I said, and he raised an amused eyebrow at me.“Throwing me in the fire?” He asked, and I laughed, shaking my head at the man who rolled his eyes at me. I looked down at the desk, knowing that today is going to be a long one. The number of things today were countless, and knowing that mom was going to be one of them made this day a little longer than I wanted it to be. “W
