Sienna:“I see that you and my brother are getting along well,” Maria said, taking me off guard as she chose to speak to me. The woman has barely said a word to me since I got to the house, and I had to admit, I didn’t expect her to. She wouldn’t even look my way throughout the entire engagement period and didn’t bother approaching me during or even after the wedding. “What is your secret? Because as far as we all know, he wanted nothing to do with you.”“Good morning to you too, Maria.” I said, and she scoffed.“I didn’t come here to say any good mornings, Sienna. The fact that you think that I did is amusing to me, but then again, you never were the type to know the difference between being wanted and…”“I don’t have time to deal with you right now.” I said, and she raised an eyebrow.“Don’t you? I am curious, what do you have to do? We all know that all you will be doing is sitting in that room. No one wants to see the daughter of the enemy roaming around the house freely, looking a

Diablo:“What’s going on with you and Maria?” I asked, looking at Sienna as I drove.It was a while past noon, and though the main intention was to leave the house for breakfast; the number of things that I had to tend to with Alonzo were countless, giving us a minor setback, which Sienna, thankfully, understood.“The fact that you would assume that something is wrong between the two of us amazes me.” She said, choosing her words carefully. I knew my sister all too well to know that she was bothered by Sienna’s presence, though the reason behind it, I didn’t know.“I am neither blind nor stupid. I tend to know my family members well enough to know when things are getting out of hand, and I know that something happened between you and her.” I said, and she hummed in response. “And that isn’t something that you intend to share, is it?”“It’s not that, Diablo. It is the fact that there is no reason behind the way that she is treating me. It is just genuine resentment from her side, one th

Sienna:“So, you genuinely weren’t allowed to do anything unless they allowed you to?” Diablo asked, and I shook my head.“Not necessarily, not everything. But there are many things where you have to ask permission to be able to do something that is out of the ordinary. And sometimes, most of the times, you are just forced to cope with so much that you are against. Relationships, falling in love, or even sparing a man a chance unless you were allowed to is not an option. They don’t allow it if you tried.” I tried explaining, and he frowned.“And you never chose to rebel?” He asked, making me laugh.“Sometimes, it is less of a headache not to rebel or turn against what is your reality. While yes, it did get annoying after a while and even lonely, but you know, when you know that your life is destined for something, and that whether or not you fall in love, you won’t be with the person you want; being smart says not to do something that would hurt you. I didn’t want to drag a man down fo

Lexi:I watched, in complete silence, as Diablo took her to the park where the two of us shared our first kiss.They just walked, and I couldn’t help but find myself tearing up as I stared at them, getting lost in my thoughts.“How the hell did they manage to escape the bomb? How is it possible that she wasn’t blown up with it? Diablo didn’t even do anything about the note? How?” I asked, pinching the bridge of my nose as I tried to connect two and two. Nothing fit in my head, and no matter how much I tried, I couldn’t find the right words or excuse to what happened.“Madam Auclair, Monsieur Louis has called for you. He requests that you come back to the complex.” My driver said, reminding me of the fact that I was a married woman. A bride who was sent to her husband with no reason to live, no reason but to satisfy the man who was supposed to take her for his pleasure.“You can wait for me in the car, Gabriel, I will be there shortly.” I said, looking at the man over my shoulder. I was

Diablo:“The place is beautiful.” Sienna said, looking up at me.I smiled and though I wanted to take her hand in mine, I was sure not to. I didn’t want to send the wrong message, and I knew that she understood that part.“It’s to make up for what happened at the altar.” I said, and she frowned in confusion. “I can see your pain in your eyes despite you not talking about it, and that is why I want to make it up to you.”“Diablo, you didn’t have to…”“I did.” I said, stopping her. “You were in the same situation with me, and to make matters worse, they were your parents. Regardless of what may have happened, and regardless of you believing that they aren’t, the investigation too; I shouldn’t have blamed you for it. The pain of having to deal with even suspecting that is not one that you should have gone through, and for that, I am sorry.”She didn’t say a word for a few seconds, but when she stood on her toes and kissed my cheek, I tensed for a second, feeling the depth of the moment th

Sienna:I had to fight back the small smile that formed on my lips as I looked at my reflection in the mirror.I didn’t even know the reason behind it, but I knew one thing, it had a lot to do with the Capo dei Capi that I now called my husband.The way he spoke to me, looked at me, and even approached me was one that I couldn’t forget nor get over.His eyes on mine were enough to have me melting in his gaze, and to make matters worse, I doubted that he knew the effect that he was having on me. Even if he did, I wasn’t sure whether or not it made a difference to him.“Do you want to get something to eat? Mom said that you didn’t join them for dinner,” Diablo asked, walking inside the room. He had dropped me back to the house and went out. Whatever his reason was, I didn’t ask. I knew that unless he told me, it didn’t even concern me to do so.“I wasn’t hungry. You don’t need to worry about me eating, especially when the two of us spent most of the day out, eating, Diablo.” I teased, l

Diablo:I watched as Sienna struggled with her dress’s zipper as I walked out of the bathroom, and I couldn’t help but find myself smiling before approaching her.Her eyes meeting mine through the mirror told me that she was hesitant, but when I silently extended my hand to help her, her cheeks reddening made something inside me churn. A feeling of protectiveness that I didn’t think possible, especially not toward a woman like herself, a woman that was still my enemy’s daughter.“You look beautiful.” I said, looking at the royal blue dress that I chose for her. I would have chosen red, but it was far too attractive, and considering that I didn’t know who was coming, I would rather not risk having men staring down at her as if she was to be meat for them to devoir. I didn’t want to end up beating any of them.“Thank you,” she said, trying not t flinch as I gently brushed my finger over her lower back as I tended to the zipper. The goosebumps that rose on her skin made it all the more wo

Sienna:“Marcus, it has been a while since you’ve paid us a visit. I am curious about the reason,” Diablo asked, raising an eyebrow at the cartel. The man kept his eyes on me, and though I tried avoiding his gaze, I understood that the reason behind Maria’s satisfaction was a search that she made. The girl knew exactly who she was inviting over, and considering that Diablo wasn’t aware, it was her who made the call.“I was invited by your sister. She told me that she hasn’t seen me in the wedding, and considering the fact that our families have always been close and bound, she tried to help, I believe.” He said, and Diablo raised an eyebrow at Maria. She looked away from her brother, clearly not expecting that as a response from the cartel.“I see,” Diablo said, smiling at the man before he turned to look at me. His eyes met mine and I smiled.“I take it that you haven’t changed much, Sienna.” Marcus said, and I looked at Diablo who frowned in confusion. I took my husband’s hand in mi

“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.

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
