Sienna:“You are coming with me,” Alonzo said, taking me off guard as he walked inside the room looking like he’s seen a ghost.“What’s wrong?” I asked, frowning at the man as I got up from bed. He wasn’t looking at me, knowing that he walked inside without actually knocking on the door. “I am decent, by the way.”He pulled his phone out of his pocket, not answering me as it rang, and I could see and read his anger in his eyes. “Take him to the hospital, we are on our way.”“What the hell is going on?” I asked, snapping at Alonzo as he hung up. He was quiet for a few seconds, clearly debating on what he was going to say, and I couldn’t help but find myself growing worried. “Alonzo, you staying quiet is neither going to help explain this nor is it going to help me understand what is happening.”“Did you and Diablo fight?” He asked, making me frown.“He came back annoyed. I did my best not to argue with him, but he came back very angry. I assumed that something happened, but he seemed t
Alonzo:“You need to eat.” Sienna said, walking toward me with a sandwich in hand. “It is not the best that we can find, but it is the best that I can get in the hospital. You’ve been standing for hours, and you are going to weaken.”“I’m not hungry, Sienna.” I said, and she smiled.“I wasn’t asking. You have to eat something. Your system needs it, and you know that there is a lot that will find its way with us right now. You are going to need to be at your full strength to be able to cope with it.” She said, looking at me, her eyes softening as she waited for what I was going to tell her. “I know that you are worried and I understand both your fear and pain, but right now…”“It is not fear that I am feeling, Sienna.” I said, stopping him. “We are born into this world knowing that we are going to be dealing with bullshit.”“It is okay to be in pain, then. He is your best friend, and it is only logical for you to fear for his life, but as you said, we are born into this world knowing th
Sienna:I walked out of the infirmary room where I was sitting, making sure to be slow with my steps only for an arm to wrap around me, Alonzo’s.“I can assume that you are done being rude?” I asked, and he chuckled before guiding me to a chair. He gave me a juice box, and I removed the straw, ignoring the haziness that I felt before taking a sip of the drink.“I didn’t know.” He said, and I nodded.“Don’t worry, I understand that you’re worried about him. To a certain extent, you can’t be blamed. You have more enemies around.” I said, and he looked away from me for a second.“You could have left. Or you could have been free of this marriage if something happened to him, why are you fighting so hard for it not to happen?” He asked, taking me off guard with his question, and I sighed.“Sometimes, you have to make the good out of everything that happens to you. I understand that my reason might not make any sense to you, but Diablo was kind to me. When I found myself being alone, he was
Sienna:“You can leave, Sienna.” Netania said, catching me off guard as she took a seat beside me in the waiting room, looking at Diablo as he slept in that ER room through a glass window that separated us from him. “You have exhausted yourself enough. He doesn’t seem to be waking up, and you are going to need to regain your strength as well.”“I am fine here. I will be staying here, and if I need to doze off, I can just lay my head on the armrest. I want to be by his side if he wakes up.” I said, and she frowned in confusion as she looked at me.“Anyone who sees you would mistaken you for old lovers. You went ahead and donated your blood to him without hesitation, and now this.” She said, looking at her son. “Why the sudden urge to want to be with him? I know that the two of you didn’t want to marry, why do you suddenly want to do this for him?”“I don’t suddenly want to do this for him, Netania. I am his wife, and though yes, I will admit, it is not out of love. The two of us might
Sienna:Flashback:“The fact that you are calling, Diablo, amazes me. Is your first task as Capo to call me?” My father asked as I sat at his desk, reading through a paper with him, doing the math that he didn’t want to have his accountant doing.He put the man on speaker, and I couldn’t help but shake my head, knowing that my father was not going to pay him any attention. His own father was never a friend to us, but we shared one boarder, at least, until we left the city for him to deal with. Our part was done here, and I agreed with my father on the fact that we needed to leave this place. “I need help. I know that we are not the closest of allies, but I need your men’s help to save my sister.” He said, making me frown in confusion.“Why would they need to save an eleven year old girl? What harm could she be in?” He asked, mocking Diablo. The man didn’t say anything to respond, making me frown in confusion. I was sixteen at the time, I knew that he was two years older than I was. T
Lexi:“Answer the fucking phone, Maria.” I snapped, running my fingers through my hair, fighting back my tears as they threatened to fall from my eyes. I paced around my room, not knowing what else that I could do.It’s been hours since I heard of the accident from Louis, and since then, Maria hasn’t been answering. No matter how many times I called, she did not pick up that fucking phone.“I am curious about who you’ve been calling for the past hour. You’ve been roaming around like crazy holding that shit in front of your ear,” Louis said, entering the room, not bothering to knock on the door, he never did anyway, and I looked away from him.“I am calling Maria.” I said, choosing to be honest. He wasn’t going to believe me anyway, but being honest was the better option. The man would kill me if he caught me lying, that I knew for fact.“The child? You would expect me to believe that you have anything to do with the Duraturo child? Her parents are stricter than any…”“I am not going to
Diablo:I frowned as I opened my eyes to find myself in a white room, a room that I knew was not mine.It was white and white duvet sheets covered my body. Bandages were everywhere, but I felt no pain. It was as if was floating on a cloud, one that I didn’t want to get up from. It was a lot peaceful here. Too surreal, a better feeling than I had in a long time. One that I did not aim to lose.The heart monitor beeped, and the one thing that I could remember was being at home with my wife, Sienna. I didn’t even understand how I ended up here to begin with. “Did we get into a fight? Did the woman shoot me?” I asked voicing out my question, looking around the place that I was in as my voice sounded as if it was coming from a distance. I was surprised to find myself holding a hand, well, to be more specific, the hand held onto mine as mine was loose around it before I wrapped my hand around it. The small hand let me know that the person was asleep. Her grip was soft, but the just the fee
Sienna:“What’s going on?” Netania asked, frowning when she saw me walking out of the room where Diablo was staying. Thankfully, he was out of the ER, but the fact that the first thing he did when he left the room was choose to kick me out scarred me deeply. I didn’t even know his reason, but I didn’t want to care about asking at this point.“Diablo is awake. I am going to get something to drink, he asked me to tell you that he woke up.” I said, choosing not to tell them about their son kicking me out of the room. The last thing that I needed or wanted was to give Maria that satisfaction. Though I knew that she might find out from Diablo, I would rather not have it coming from me.I walked toward the cafeteria, ignoring the pain that I felt in my chest as I stood in line to get myself a cup of coffee. The lack of sleep was getting to me, I had to admit that much, and I knew that the number of things that I had to deal with were not easy.I still couldn’t even reach Lexi. The woman was
