And Carlos messed with the wrong man...
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
Sienna:“You look beautiful.” Mom said, walking toward me.She walked toward me as one of the maids was tending to my zipper, zipping it for me. One of the stylists helped me fix my makeup, and I nodded at them to stop before I turned to face my mother.“Thank you for coming to the wedding.” She said, looking me in the eye.“I am his sister. It is only natural for me to be at the wedding.” I said, and she nodded.She looked down at my dress one more time before taking a step back, walking out of the room. I looked at myself in the mirror, knowing that this look was going to be one that they were going to remember for a long time. I had to trust that Diablo was going to come, it was a matter that I couldn’t question. My husband wasn’t going to leave me in this den.That is, of course, if he got the message. I knew that he wouldn’t just let me go. I hoped that he wouldn’t…I walked out of the room, knowing that I was going to see both Carlos and my father downstairs. The last person that
Diablo:I walked toward Maria’s room, my chest aching when I saw her laying on her bed, forcing herself to open her mouth for a maid to feed her.She had her hand on her stomach, and though I knew that she could use her own hands to eat, she still needed to recover from them shaking, and we didn’t want her to feel like she couldn’t do it if she tried. Hence helping from one of the maids while a nurse supervised was a lot better as an option.She nodded at me when she saw me approaching and I put my hand on hers as I sat on the edge of her bed. The maid stood, and both she and the nurse took a step back, walking toward the living room that she had in her suite, leaving the two of us alone.“I know that you might be angry with me, and I understand your reasons, sister, but I can’t help everything that happened. I know that you don’t understand why everything fell on us the way that it did, trust me, neither can I. I miss your presence in the house, and I miss you being here, but you as
Sienna:“You really couldn’t hold yourself from arguing with your brother, even today?” Mom asked, shaking her head at me.“Seriously? Was I supposed to let him keep a child ill simply because he chooses to acknowledge him as a son despite not being his? Or does that little detail not matter to you?” I asked, and she took a deep breath.“Sienna, you should be thankful for the fact that it is his wedding right now. Otherwise, I would have chosen a different method when it comes to dealing with you and trust me, you are not going to like it.” She said, and I smiled.“Of course, mother, how can I forget? He is your favorite son. The man can whatever bullshit he wants and still not be held accountable for it. But you are forgetting one small little detail, not only am I his eldest, but I am also no longer a child. Such threats mean nothing to me, and if they did once, it was because I was young and foolish. I didn’t know the difference between what was right and wrong, and the fact that yo
Diablo:“What the fuck is he doing here?” Carlos asked, approaching us.I raised an eyebrow at the man before looking down at Sienna. She kept her eyes on the ground, avoiding my eyes as she knew that things were going to be complicated.The night was still young, and though I didn’t expect things to go smoothly, I didn’t expect such a greeting when we first entered the demon’s den. Then again, the man wasn’t aware that he was standing in front of the devil himself. And considering that he might have been working with my second hand; he was going to get one of the best pieces of revenge.“I was invited, actually. And considering that Sienna is still my wife…”“A wife that you sent home.” He said, and I smirked, shaking my head at him as he stopped me. The man was foolish enough to think that he could play this game on me and her while we stood in front of one another, and considering the invitation to the wedding, I knew that my beloved didn’t believe one shit word that he said.“Her h
Sienna:If running in heels had a reward, then I was the queen of it.I killed three men and I didn’t even need to take off my heels. If anything, judging by Diablo’s expression, I could swear that I stabbed one of them in the balls with my heels. But I couldn’t be sure.“They were ready for this one,” Diablo commented, and I nodded. Whoever they were, they were planning this for a while, and judging by the fact that my mother ran away with my brother, and God knew where Alexandra was, I couldn’t help but find myself doubting that they were ever honest about the reason behind this marriage. Could they have been planning his death through all this time?“They seem to be ready for a lot more than just this, but I am more concerned about the time placed planning this. How did my father not find out about this? He normally had more men watching over my mother than he would have as the house’s security team.” I said, and Diablo shook his head.“This is Carlos that you are talking about. Whe
