Sienna:“You can't be serious.” I said, looking at Diablo as I heard his plan.“If someone can help us with this, it is Maria.” He said, not looking at his mother, whose eyes were already wide with surprise.“Yes, because the smartest thing to do is put Maria in such danger. Diablo, she barely. Lee recovered from the shot.” Netania said, looking at her son with wide eyes, she shook her head, waiting for her husband to say otherwise. He did not.“I understand your concern Mama, but this is something that she can help with. And we are going to be by her side as she makes the phone call. Lexi just has to believe that she wants to meet her and when she does, we can call an ambush.” Diablo said, trying to explain the situation. I pinched the bridge of my nose, not liking where this was going.“Diablo, you do realize that this is not something that's going to be easy with Alonzo by his side, Mom and Elton, this is not going to be something that we can easily fool Lexi with. She is going to t
Diablo:“How are you sure that we are not going to be shot the second we are inside?” I asked, looking at Sienna who smiled.“I am not, but it is the best shot that we have.” She said, and I chuckled.“And you call me risky?”“Yes, that is because you are a man who is putting his sister in such a game is a risky man. But right now, I don't want to question that. I have a lot in mind and the last thing that I want to do is be worried about whatever you have as a plan.” She said, making me laugh.The two of us walked toward the gate that led to her family house. It was abandoned, but I knew that there were guards and maids there. It was often this way in big family houses. Whichever house was abandoned had its own servants, its own guards and its own resources.It was often an escape or getaway for a pack or family members to go to if they needed to.“And do you think that we are going to find weapons here?”“I don't think, I know.” She said, making me raise an eyebrow. “Carlos often ca
Diablo:“Remind me to never annoy you.” I teased looking at my wife, who raised an eyebrow at me.“Coming from the man who just killed four men without blinking an eye, I am surprised.” She said, making me chuckle.“Yes, and I would do it all over again. The man hurt my wife. Well, at least threatened to do so.” I said, and she laughed.“He almost hurt me because I nearly killed him, Diablo.” She said, making me roll my eyes.“Not a valid reason to end up harming you anyway. I am choosing to dismiss that topic.” I said, and she shook her head. The two of us walked toward the library. Almost everyone that led to the library was either dead or afraid to harm us. They knew that we would not hesitate to kill any of them. Plus, the maids had no benefit in keeping anything hidden.“Are you sure that going to the library is a good idea? I thought we were going to get something else. Weapons maybe?” I said, and she nodded.“Sometimes the biggest weapons, the strongest and deadliest are hidden
Diablo:“I will choose not to ask where you got these weapons.” Father said, looking down at the set of weapons that we brought into the house.Sienna looked at me and smiled, and once she looked at Maria, my little sister shook her head.The night was still young and I knew that we had a lot to take care of. It was going to be a hell of a long one, but if it worked, I knew that things were going to go our way. And that was something that I wanted. It was the one thing that I wanted to think of right now, and I knew that my sister saw it.This was a chance for her to prove that I could trust her, for her to redeem herself. And though I knew that she did what she had because she was young and foolish, we all make mistakes at that point, I still wanted to be able to trust her. “Yeah, but you know, ahead of you. I suggest that you be ready.”“Calling Lexi is not going to be hard thing. It is convincing her that I am the one who is calling her that might be.” She said, shrugging her should
Lexi:I frowned as I saw my phone ringing.No one aside a few people knew of the safe line. To have someone calling me took me off guard.I'm looking at the caller ID. For a moment, I hesitated. It was another safe line, but the only other safe line that called me was going to be Maria. I was the one who gave her the number. I was sure to do so because I needed someone on the inside, someone who saw what Diablo was doing. A pain and the joke that I did not know would I mean the ass.I looked out the door for a second, closing it, knowing that if someone entered, they would think that I was betraying them. I was not. This was Maria. The girl had stood by my side through things that none of them would have.“I am surprised that you managed to call. I expected that you would take a longer while to do so.” I said, choosing to act as if I did not know that Alonzo shot her. I want you to know what she was going to tell me, what she had in mind.“I believe that you are well aware that I was u
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
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
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
