Diablo:“Are you sure that you are going to be able to go to her? You can wait for her to wake up. She is going to come herself, Diablo.” Mom said, looking at me as she saw me wanting to get out of bed.“She deserves to see me by her side just as she was by mine when I needed her. It is how I want it to be, and I don’t want you to tell me otherwise, mama. I know that you don’t want me to get up, but she did the same thing to me, if not more.” I said, and mom shook her head at me just as the door opened. It was Alonzo and Sienna, and the woman frowned when she saw me trying to get up from my bed.“What the hell are you doing?” She asked, scolding me.“You can speak to him, I have been trying to for the past hour. He seems to want to leave the room to see you.” Mom said, and Sienna raised an eyebrow at me.“You have lost your mind.”“As have you. What the fuck do you think you’re doing standing up when you were stabbed in your leg yesterday?” I asked, glaring at my woman. I looked at Alo
Sienna:“You are going to need to eat something, Diablo.” I said, looking at the man who was not only being stubborn, but was also less mature than a toddler.“I would rather order takeout than eat this hospital…”“You are sick, on medication, and you are not going to eat takeout. This hospital food is made for your own good. You are going to eat it if you are going to want to heal. Otherwise, your body is going to keep growing weak.” I said, and he raised an eyebrow at me.“You know that I am not five and this is not going to be a lie that I am going to fall for, right?” He asked, and I scoffed. The man kept his eyes on me as a small smile of amusement formed on his lips, making me shake my head at him.“Then stop acting like you are five, and I am not going to use it on you. But considering that you are choosing to not only be stubborn, but to also act as if the whole world is ending simply because we are not getting you takeout food, I am going to keep treating you like a mother wou
Diablo:“The two of you seem to be getting along well,” mom said, looking at me. I smiled and couldn’t help but find myself looking at Sienna who was in the kitchenette, washing the dishes that we used. My eyes softened as I kept my eyes other, thankful for the fact that she was mine. I didn’t think that I would be, but I knew now that I couldn’t imagine my life being without her.“She is something, I will admit that much.” I said, watching as she took my hand in hers. She ran her finger over mine and I count help the smile that formed on my lips when I saw her happiness in her eyes. Whatever it was that she was thinking, I could tell that she was satisfied with it, and knowing my mother, I knew that it was rare to find her being happy with something that we were living through, especially when it came to relationships, which were mostly flings in my case. And when it came to Lexi, I knew that she hated her presence in my life.“I am glad that you are giving her a chance. I know that
Sienna:“Do you want to get something to drink? Eat?” I asked, looking at Diablo whose eyes softened as he looked at me, and if I couldn’t understand the way a man’s eyes softened, I could have sworn that they showed admiration.“I want you to rest, Sienna. You are going to need to sleep for a bit, and I want you to get something to eat. You haven’t been getting enough rest, nor have you been sleeping well for weeks.” He said, cupping my cheeks, forcing my eyes on his.“I am fine, Diablo. I slept and I ate…”“That is why you have black circles under your eyes and that is why you’ve lost so much weight,” he said, stopping me. “You did your best, you took care of me and stayed by my side, I am not going to forget nor neglect that; but right now, I want you to rest, and I am going to be the one taking care of you.”He pulled me toward the bed, and I watched as he turned me around, my back facing his chest before he wrapped his arms around me, pulling me to him. “I know that you want to d
Diablo:“What are you doing?” I asked, looking at my wife who was getting up from bed. The idea of her trying to get out of bed was not something that I liked. But I knew that she, just like me, was stubborn as hell.“For a man who was refusing to stay on his bed yesterday, I am surprised that you would be asking me what I was doing?” Sienna asked, teasing me.“You have a thigh injury that needs to heal.” I said, glaring at her. She nodded, raising an eyebrow at me.“And you have your whole body which needs to heal. I am not complaining about that, am I?” She asked, and I shook my head, knowing that she was right. Arguing right now wasn’t going to get me anywhere with her.“The stab hit your bone, Sienna.” I said, watching as she stopped, not saying a word as she looked down at her feet, avoiding my eyes. “I am pretending not to know about it, but that doesn’t mean that it is not the reality of things. Yes, I know that I am getting up and walking around, but I got a month’s rest on th
Lexi:“He blocked my fucking number,” I said, snapping at the device when neither one of my calls got to him. I had to fight back throwing the phone on the floor, knowing that I was going to catch maid’s attention. The woman was standing outside the room in case I needed anything, and I knew that if she heard the phone fall, she was going to come in.I stared at my phone for a second, knowing not to say a word in case Louis walked inside the room. The man, as usual, wouldn’t knock on the door, at this point, I didn’t expect him to. That kind of manner and respect was not one that he had. It took me a long time to realize it, sadly. Therefore, I was always careful not to do anything that could be seen or caught as wrong in his eyes.I wanted to call Maria, but I knew better not to. The woman was going to get used to me calling her and this was the last thing that I wanted. Plus, I didn’t know whether or not her phone was being traced, and if it was, I didn’t want them to find out that
Sienna:“What are your plans for the day?” Diablo asked, watching as I was fixing my dress.He got behind me, ignoring the fact that I didn’t went him to get out of bed, then again, I knew that he wanted me to walk less, but that wasn’t going to happen.He helped me tie the strap, smiling as he looked at me through the mirror, and I couldn’t help the blush that formed on my cheeks as he did.“I don’t have any. Not yet, anyway. I thought of going shopping, but it depends on what Nathan tells me when he checks on my leg later today.” I said, and he nodded. “Do you have anything in mind?”“I was thinking that the two of us can go out for a bit later. We’ve been in the house for the past two weeks. I think that it is a good time for us to go and explore,” he said, wrapping his arms around my waist, pulling me to his chest. He kissed my cheek, making me smile as I put my hand on his hand, gently running my finger over it, caressing it.“You know, the house has more things to do than anywhe
Diablo:“What are you going to do?” Alonzo asked, and I shook my head.“Nothing at all, I am going to show them who is in charge. It is going to be done in my own way, though. Without the need of using a gun, I am going to be sure that they know not to mess with us again.” I said, knowing that the man was not going to learn that lesson easily. He was the last person to listen to a warning, but I always said, giving an initial warning is the first step to avoid conflict. The rest came later.“You are going to invite them over to show them power?” He asked, and I smirked.“I know that he would have something to do with what Carlos did to his sister. Sienna might not want to think that he does, but I know that Carlos wouldn’t react against his sibling out of nothing. We are going to need to make sure that it doesn’t happen again. You know, the last thing that I intend to do is allow him to think that I would allow them to do something this foolish again. The man is going to think that he
