And we have a problem...
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
Diablo:I ran my finger over my wife’s waist, holding her to my chest as she slept.Her chest rose and fell as she slept peacefully.“I don’t know how we are going to manage things, neonata.” I whispered to my sleeping angel. “But I promise you that I will do everything that I can to make sure that you’re safe. If they try to hurt you, I will have their heads. Each and every one of them, I give you my word.”I ran my finger over her bare waistline, smiling when she sighed in contentment. I kissed her temple one more time before slowly moving from beside her, not wanting to wake her up. She was going to need to get some rest, and I knew that with everything that we had to deal with, she was barely getting any rest.I pinched the bridge of my nose as I put on my boxers before standing in front of the window, pouring myself a glass of scotch. Arms wrapped around me as I took a sip of the drink, and smiling, I put my hand on my wife’s, my heart skipping a beat when she rested her cheek on
Sienna:“Are you sure that you want to go back home, Sienna?” Diablo asked, and I smiled, nodding at him.“As much as I want to spend more time alone with you, going home is the better option right now. We have our enemies who are ready to attack us at any given moment, and if we just cut some slack with things, if we loosen our grip on others, we are going to end up paying a price that neither one of us wants to deal with.” I said, resting my head on his chest. The day was going to be a long one, I knew that for fact, but I also knew that whatever we were going to do had to be done.No matter how hard it was going to be, we were not going to be running away from it. It wasn’t going to be the solution to our problem.“It seems to me that YOU don’t want to go back, though.” I said, and he smiled and nodded as he ran his fingers over my waistline.“Trust me, knowing that we are living in this peace, I don’t want to go anywhere away from you. I want to be by your side through it all and
Alonzo:“You can’t seriously be considering making a deal with Diablo? The man is playing you, and you are giving into him by believing that he is going to try making a treaty with us. The man is going to play us and he is going to do his best to have us in one place to have our heads.” I said, looking at Myla who raised an eyebrow at me.“Is it me or is that fear that I hear in your voice?” Alexandra asked, and I laughed, shaking my head at her before my eyes hardened.“You of all people should not be seen by Diablo or Sienna for that matter. She is going to have your head chopped off after she has pulled your hair, one bit after the other, forcing it down your throat for thinking of her husband let alone being his ex, sleeping with him, and even carrying his child.” I said, and her eyes hardened as Myla frowned in confusion.“What child?”“It was never his child.” She said, not bothering to turn to look at Myla. “It was my husband’s. I doubted that telling Diablo about it would hav
“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
