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
Dominic:I kept my eyes on the groom, knowing that this was the last thing that he expected.The man didn’t want a confrontation, I knew that he was too cowardly for that, but he was also not stupid. He knew that his men telling us where he was wasn’t going to be in his favor. If anything, he was more afraid of what was going to happen now that he was aware that his game was caught.“You chose to ask about me, here I am, standing right before your eyes.” He said, pointing the gun at Sienna. She smiled and held her gun up at him, keeping her eyes on him as she did. “I am curious to know, sister, what are you going to do now that you have found me? Or are you just aiming to shoot me?”“You almost killed father. While I expected you to be low, this is an all time too low, even for you, brother.” She said, keeping her eyes on him. I held my own gun up, ready to shoot the man, but I knew that killing him wasn’t going to be the best thing that I was going to do right now. I needed him alive,
Diablo:“We are going to need to run,” Sienna said, and I nodded, knowing that she was right. We had more people to save now that the fucker and whoever was on his side had the building bombed. This wedding was a whole massacre.“How are we going to manage getting all of them out?” Sienna asked, and I shook my head, trying to find out how things were going to be. I looked at my wife, knowing that telling her to leave without me wasn’t going to be an option. She wasn’t going to accept doing so if I tried to convince her to do so.“We are going to manage, baby girl. We have to find mom and dad, your father, then we are going to decide on what to do.” I said, and though I knew that she was worried, it was something that I knew was true.“Mom is part of this too,” she said, trying to keep going, and though she didn’t speak, I knew that she didn’t want to live through that pain. It was something that I knew was true. Her mother knew that her daughter was going to be here. The idea of a moth
Sienna:“We managed to save everyone, ironically,” Diablo said, and I raised an eyebrow at him as I put ice pack on his forehead.“By giving you a concussion, of course you did.” I said, and he chuckled. “You are going to need to take a long break, Diablo. You heard what the doctor said, and the last thing that we are going to need is for you to be tired or sick. You are already did more than you should have for a while. You need a break.”“You and I both know that we can’t afford a break. You would have been on one if we did.” He said, and I sighed, shaking my head at him. There was no use trying to talk him out of this, I knew. But with his parents being around, my father too, I knew that he wasn’t going to get out of it easily.“We will see,” I said, and he raised an eyebrow at me. He wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me to his chest, and I couldn’t help but find myself letting out a sigh of relief now that he was at home.“I was so scared that I would lose you,” I whispered,
Diablo:“You know that you are going to need to get out of bed, Sienna.” I said, trying to encourage my wife to get back on her feet. She wasn’t the same, I knew that. But I couldn’t blame her, to know what she’s been through, her own family, her mother in particular, turning her back on her the way that she did. It would break a man’s soul let alone a daughter.“I know,” she said, curling up in my arms. I ran my finger over her newly shaved arm, it was the first time that she has willed herself to shave since the miscarriage. She was managing to try and fight the pain that she was in, but I knew her enough to know that it wasn’t going to be easy.“Do you want the two of us to go out tonight? It has been a while since we’ve done so.”“You still need to rest, Diablo. You know that the doctors said that you can’t go out or do anything that would exhaust you for the matter. When you’re at home, it is easier to keep checking on you if you need anything, but being outside is not going to be
Sienna:“How is the little one?” I asked, looking at the maids knowing that they were taking good care of him. The fact that Alexandra, pretending to be his mother, didn’t even bother going to the hospital to check on the boy, bothered me. But I knew that I shouldn’t be expecting any less. She wasn’t going to risk going to him to get caught, and I couldn’t find myself leaving the boy at the hospital either. Thankfully, though, neither one of Netania, Arturo, or Diablo said anything about it. If anything, each one of us were taking care of him in their way.“He is alright, ma’am. He was just fed and we bathed him earlier today. You don’t need to worry about him, we are taking good care of him.” She said, and I nodded, lifting the boy in my arms. I smiled when he looked up at me, his gentle coos making my heart swell as my eyes softened.“I want you to take a good care of him. And if he needs anything, don’t hesitate to let me know.” I said, and she nodded. Diablo’s arms wrapped around
“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
