And we are getting a glimpse of our real Diablo and his dangers. What do you think? And who do you think told Maria about Marcus in the first place?
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
Sienna:“Morning,” I said, smiling as I answered my phone to see that it was Lexi, reminding me that she was still in the city. I had to admit, I couldn’t help but regret not calling or seeing her yesterday, but with the number of things that we had to do at night, I honestly didn’t have time.Diablo wasn’t back from wherever he went at night, but I didn’t mind. The man had his own life, he wasn’t going to stop it because of me. Plus, being newlyweds of an arranged marriage, I didn’t even have the right to be asking such questions, at least, I didn’t want start thinking of it.“Good morning,” Lexi said, her tone calmer than it had been in a while. “You seem to be in a good mood.”“And you tired?” I asked, knowing that this was not what I was used to. “Is everything alright? You are rarely the type to be tired in the morning unless you were sick.”“I woke up being a little nauseous this morning, but don’t worry. It is probably something that I ate.” She said, and I hummed in response as
Diablo:“You know that you don’t have to drop me off, Diablo.” Sienna said, smiling at me. I knew that I didn’t, but I also knew Lexi well enough to know that she wasn’t calling her to see her without creating a conflict. My presence was going to remind her not to do anything that is stupid.The fact that she was simply dressed in a pair of denim jeans and a black V-neck shirt was something that I appreciated, especially when I knew how my sister tended to dress sometimes, and it was one of the reasons why we had to enforce a few rules to keep her safe. Another reason why both my parents never allowed her out of the house without checking her outfit.The girl still managed to have clothes in her bag to change the second that she was out of the Estate.“I know, but I want to. Plus, the office is close to the place that you’re going to, we might as well have a nice dinner when you’re done, what do you think?” I asked, looking at her as I drove. Four men would be following close behind he
Sienna:“How the hell did you manage to go out looking like this, Lexi? The two of us know how your father is, and if he saw you…”“I am not a child to be taking permission from my father about what I am going to wear, Sienna.” She said, stopping me. “I doubt that you should be judging me about my clothes. You chose to dress blandly, but that doesn’t mean that we all have to be the same. I can wear what I want, when I want, and if it is a red dress that I want to wear, I am going to wear it!”“You are seriously arguing with me about something that you know is ethically wrong?” I asked, taken back by her attitude. She was never the type to want her skin so openly exposed. The fact that she now wanted it this way and was also arguing about it was something that I couldn’t understand. “You can wear whatever you want. I am not going to interfere, but if this is going to be the attitude that you are going to have, then please, you can continue your own shopping, I’ll tend to my own thing.”
Diablo:“What do you mean that she’s going home?” I asked, frowning as Arnesto called me.“She got into an argument with her friend, and then she asked to leave. They didn’t even get past the first store that they went to before she asked to leave. We didn’t ask for details, boss.” He said, and I tapped the desk twice, knowing that this would have happened. But I didn’t expect it to happen as fast as it did.“Get her home, safely, I’ll come back to see her later.” I said as the door opened, revealing Alonzo whose eyes were raging as Lexi barged inside the office, not even bothering to care that he was in front of her.“She refused to listen, boss.” He said, and I nodded, watching as the man took a step back, giving us our privacy as she looked at me. He walked out of the room and closing the door, Lexi shook her head at me.“A red dress this early during the day? Do you really think that I am stupid? You knew that I was coming with Sienna, and it is why you chose to wear it.” I said, a
Lexi:Flashback:I kept my eyes on the test for a few seconds as tears fell from my eyes. My hands shook, and it took everything in me to control my shaking, not wanting this to become a habit as I bit my bottom lip, stopping the sobs from escaping my mouth. No, I couldn’t be carrying another one of Louis’s children. The man was not going to be a father, I was not going to allow it. I wasn’t going to allow him to ruin my life more than he already has.My lips quivered as I threw the test in the trash, covering my face with both my hands. I knew not to allow anyone to see it, if word got to Louis, then there was no way out of this. He was going to be sure that I didn’t lose this baby no matter what I did. The maids would need to be bribed to keep this from him, and judging by the fact that I couldn’t go to a hospital until he was away from the city, and God knew how long it would be before that happened, I was going to need to lose this baby my way.“Think, Alexandra, think. You are go
