Lidia:“Do you want something to drink?” Diablo asked, and I shook my head as I did my best to stop shaking. My heart raced against my ribcage, and I couldn’t help but find myself looking around, fearing that any of them would be here.“I don’t want anything, thank you.” I said, momentarily forgetting that I was in front of my boss. The man knew me to be strong, but this was something that was beyond me. To be stabbed, questioned, then thrown out on the streets. I was thankful that none of the cops saw me. Or if they did, they were ordered to just let me be.“She said that she was coming for you. To tell you that she was not going to let the treason that you made her live through without a price. She claimed that she was going to make you pay for it.” I said, recalling her words. The woman had two men pinning me down. I was there for a job, little did I know, it was going to be torment, nothing but pure torment.Flashback:I walked inside the hotel, smiling as I did, knowing that I was
Sienna:“Is everything okay?” I asked, frowning when I saw a woman walking out of Diablo’s office. He walked a few steps behind him, but the anger on his face was one that I couldn’t help but frown to. His previous calm expression was one that seemed to have leave him.He wrapped his arm around my waist, and I shook my head in question, waiting for what he was going to say. “Do you want to tell me what happened?”“Bullshit happened, neonata. Complete fucking bullshit.” He said, making me frown in confusion as I tried to understand what he was going on about. “We are going to need to stay on the lookout, and I am going to need YOU to stay out of the public’s eye for a while.”“Diablo, what is going on?” I asked, trying to understand what he was going to tell me.“Alexandra took her hostage for questioning. It seems that there are things that they are planning, but they are playing dirty.” He said, and I nodded, putting his finger on his chest. His eyes met mine and I smiled at him, wa
Diablo:I walked inside the room, ignoring the pain that I felt in my chest, knowing that this was going to be something that I didn’t like. Hell, it was going to be something that I hated.Lidia’s words played in my head, and the fact that they not only kidnapped, but also assaulted her while Alexandra, the woman that I was with for years, watched, confused me. The idea of her being a victim of rape only or her to be doing the same thing, I couldn’t help but find myself being confused.“What are you planning, Lexi?” I muttered, voicing out my annoyance.I was thankful for the fact that Sienna chose to understand me; I knew that she might have felt a pang of jealousy when she saw the pain in my eyes, I wouldn’t have accepted it if I was in her shoes, I knew that for fact.I stayed quiet for a few seconds, allowing myself to calm myself, to think straight. I couldn’t do so with everything that I needed to deal with, but I knew that I was going to need to focus to react.I opened the pho
Alonzo:“You have completely lost it.” I said, looking at Alexandra who looked away from me. “What the fuck did you do?”“I did what I had to do. He had to get the message that I was sending him, and I knew that the one way to do so was to hurt one of the women that worked for him. Diablo is not the type to easily give in and the last thing that I was going to allow him to do was get away with all the bullshit that he made me fucking live through!” She said, snapping at me.“You sent yourself to hell with the message that you sent him.” I said, and she frowned. She crossed her arms over her chest, and I shook my head at the foolish woman who stood in front of me. The woman seriously wanted to sign her own death note, I knew that it was the only explanation that I can give to her behavior. She was losing it, she had to be losing it.“He had to bee sent to that hell a long time ago. Had we reacted before, it wouldn’t have been as hard. Then again, is that fear that I hear in your tone? I
Sienna:“Do you want to tell me what is the reason behind the fact that you are frowning, Diablo?” I asked, wrapping my arms around my husband from the back, laying my head on his back. He put his hand on my own for a second before pulling me toward him, making me stand in front of him as the two of us looked out the window.“How did you know that I was frowning when my back was to you?” He asked, resting his chin on my shoulder. He moved my hair to the side, allowing himself to look me in the eye as he did.“I know my husband well enough to know when he is angry. And you, darling, looked more furious than you ever have. Plus, you are my love, and you know that you are my life and a huge part of it even. I don’t want you to be upset.” I said, and he smiled, kissing my cheek as he did.“Things are going to get more complicated.” He said, and though he was quiet, I could tell that he was bothered. Something about the video, the message that he got, Lidia, I knew that all that had its tow
Alexandra:“What do you mean that they went to Switzerland?” Myla asked as we sat at the dining table, and I had to admit, though I didn’t make a sound, I knew that this was Sienna’s doing. She guided Diablo to where she believed that he would be safe, where the two of them would be safer.“They are there now. The men have reported to seeing them. They aren’t in Italy, no fucking where in Italy!” Alonzo snapped before turning his attention to me. “Did you tell them?”“Yes, because I am foolish enough to even consider speaking to any of them. You know, with everything that is going on, I believe that it will be the wisest thing for me to speak to each and every one of them, let them know what I heard from you, and you know what, I even told them where we are…”“Alexandra!”“What did you expect me to tell him, Myla? The man is putting up such an accusation and I am supposed to be quiet about it? The man just snapped at me for something that I wouldn’t think of doing, and not because I am
Diablo:“It seems that it was a good thing that we chose to listen to your wife. She knew what she was doing.” Giovanni, one of my partners, said, and I nodded.I looked at Sienna and took her hand in mine, gently intertwining our fingers. I had to admit, I was thankful for what she did. We would have ended up dealing with more of a fuss than we would have wanted to do.“Had it not been for her, we would have had a little surprise because of Alonzo. Switzerland seems to be the best option.” I said, and he nodded. “He can’t approach us here.”“He can, but it would be too much of a big risk. The idea of him taking it is not going to be wise. And with Alexandra knowing that the French are not on the best terms with her, I doubt that she would be foolish enough to try and test her luck. I can be wrong, but she is not the type to try and risk things.” Sienna said, and I smirked, pulling her to me before wrapping an arm around her waist.“I must admit, you didn’t seem to be the type to bring
Sienna:“Are you okay?” Diablo asked, taking my hand in his as we walked inside the room. I hummed in response and smiled when he brought my and to his lips, gently kissing my knuckle.“I am curious about how you plan on making them fall for the treaty act. They are not going to believe it, especially not Alonzo.” I said, and he nodded.“And the whole plan is for him not to believe it. He is going to need to be a coward in front of them, but in my own terms. When they see him for who and what he really is, he is going to try and fake whatever it is that he has in mind. It is your mother that I am worried about. If she really is working with Elton, then things are going to be a lot more complicated.” He said, and I nodded, knowing that he was right. The last thing that I needed was for him to be dealing with her. The two of them together were one of the reasons why Elton became as strong as he was in the past.“You can imagine how I feel about this. But I know for fact that this is a g
