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

Diablo:“It was Maria who called me over, Diablo.” Marcus said, and I nodded in understanding, knowing that my sister was playing a game that was ten times bigger than she was. And the problem was, I doubted that she saw or understood that part.“I know, and there is no harm for her calling you over.” I said, choosing to keep my anger at my sister to myself. I still didn’t understand what was wrong with Sienna, but seeing her reaction and my sister walking out a few seconds after she did, I knew that it was not something that she liked. “You said that you had an expansion? What are you planning on doing?”I knew to drag a few conversations, if he had an alley who was helping him, or if he had one of my partners by his side. If that wasn’t the case, then he would be dreaming about this expansion. But first, I needed to know who he was depending on. The wall that he was leaning against was going to be one that I would break. Especially considering the fact that I believe that he can oppo

Maria:“You are right, Lexi,” I said, taking a deep breath as I sat on top of my bed, speaking to the one person who understood me more than anyone. The person who was my one friend despite everyone’s words and intentions toward her, I knew that she was the one person who I could speak to freely.My own family didn’t see what they were doing to me, and judging by what I was seeing, but what they did to Diablo, the way they had him marrying a woman that he didn’t want to marry in the first place, I knew that it was a matter of time before they forced me into a marriage that I didn’t want. I wasn’t going to allow them to do that to me. I was not going to be a pawn in their stupid games of ‘alliances’.“Diablo is not doing anything that would show that he would be willing to let her go. And for some reason, she just seems to be ready with everything that would include dealing with him and her lies are just countless. I am surprised that he can’t see nor read through them. It is not like h

Sienna:“Do you want to talk about what happened?” I asked, looking at Diablo who entered the room.I was nervous about him coming inside, and when he didn’t even approach me after what happened, when he didn’t come to the room directly; I couldn’t help but find myself growing anxious. It was not like me to be this worried, but I couldn’t help it.To my surprise, he didn’t say a word for a second, but when his eyes met mine, he shook his head. His expression was a lot calmer than I thought it would be. Hell, it was even calmer than what my father would have had as a face if he was in his shoes, and the man wasn’t even my husband. It was simply to keep me ‘pure’ for that man that he wanted me to marry.“I don’t want to ask about your past unless you intend to tell me. As far as I know, you had no relationships. But it seems to me that there is a past about you that I don’t know.” He said, and I looked away from him. “And how my sister found out about it? I don’t know. I am going to fin

Diablo:I was quiet as Alonzo and I sat in the car, not bothering to open my mouth to speak as I got lost in the number of thoughts that I had in my head. And I knew that he could read that in my expression. The fact that he didn’t even question where we were going told me that he understood.Normally, I would have tended to things in the office at home when it was this time of night, but knowing what happened, and knowing that I didn’t want to do something that I was going to regret, I knew to go out. It was often for the best when I was either annoyed or doubtful.The fact that my sister was doing something behind my back was not something that I could easily ignore. And the idea of putting her under watch was not what I wanted either, but she was the one forcing my grounds at this point. And that was not going to be something that she likes.“You’ve been quiet for a while, and unless you speak, then we are not going to be able to solve whatever it is that is going on. I know that it
