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
Sienna:“Are you ready?” I asked, helping Diablo with his shirt. He smiled and nodded, watching as I fixed his tie for him. I never expected to have my parents coming here, I had to admit, and after what Carlos did; I knew that them coming to the house was the last thing that I had in mind.“I am,” he said, and I smiled, taking a step back to fix my dress. “The main question in this, are you ready to see them? I know that you are going to tell me that you are, but truly, are you ready for this?”“I am going to need to face my father eventually. I don’t know how things are going to be, but I know that facing him is going to be the best thing about it.” I said, and he nodded, taking my hand in this.“If you find yourself needing to leave, if you don’t find yourself being comfortable, just leave. I am going to know how to handle the rest. Don’t force yourself to stay somewhere where you are not comfortable, and knowing what your brother did, I can’t blame you.” He said, and I nodded. My
Diablo:I watched as the bastard’s eyes were fixed on his daughter as a predator would have his eyes on his prey. The man was more than a little ready to do his best to hurt his daughter if he got the chance, and because of that, I knew to be more careful than ever. The last thing that I needed was for him to think that I was going to allow that to happen. And judging by Sienna’s eyes on mine, I knew that she understood that fact.“Papa, have you heard from Carlos recently?” Sienna asked, choosing to play the game that he knew best. My woman was still limping, but I knew that she was doing her best not to show it, and it didn’t take me long to realize that her father didn’t even care whether or not she was. That, or he didn’t even notice it.“We haven’t. You know, he was caught and is in jail since before your wedding. The man has been roaming around the cells, one after the other, and we are choosing to keep him there for a while until he learns his lesson before I choose to help him
Carlos:“Your sister is hiding behind the fucking Ivanov bastard. And to make matters worse, they even saw it as appropriate to fucking question us.” Dad said, and though I would have expected it, I chose to stay quiet.“The two of us know that she changed her side to the fucking bastard. It was you and mom who chose not to believe me when I said that she would. Then again, anything that includes the ‘purity’ of innocent Sienna is not something that you would believe. All it took was a week, and the woman was already loyal to him. Good thing that you didn’t give her any information about us, she would have given it to him.” I said, looking at my father as he sat in front of me.The two of us were at a club. And knowing that Diablo was going to have his eyes everywhere, we chose to keep it in plain sight. The last thing that the fucker was going to expect was for us to be as foolish as to be in front of the world. And that was the best part about it, doing what he least expected.“To f
Sienna:“That went well,” Diablo said, making me laugh. “Neither one of us shot the other.”“You almost have, though. I was so scared that you would, and I knew that I wouldn’t have been able to stop you. Plus, he still didn’t truly answer the question of what he’s doing here,” I said, knowing that my parents coming here to relive memories that I knew my mother hated was not the real answer. She was never happy being here, it was the first time Carlos got into bigger trouble than he could handle, and it was the first place she caught my father cheating on her at.“They won’t give it. Men like him tend to have that as a habit. The fact that your mother is supporting him, hiding whatever he is doing, I was amazed, I have to admit. I didn’t expect her to, but they seem to have some sort of agreement, I believe.” He said, and I nodded. Even I was surprised by mom defending my father. The last thing that I expected from her was do this, especially since I knew that she never was the type t
Diablo:“You are going to risk everything because your wife speculates that her family might be plotting something? What if she is on their side, Diablo?” Arturo asked, and I raised an eyebrow at him. The man was defending her against her father the other night and now he was telling me that he suspected her?“I think that you should know that she was forced into something, a path, that she did not want to be in.” I said, and he nodded, looking me in the eye as he did.“I understand that you are softening toward her and I am happy that you are finding SOME contentment in the woman that you call your wife, but what you are doing is foolish. You are going to end up risking a treaty and you could get killed for it, simply because she is speculating something that we have no proof over. It could all be a plot from her own end, as you may know, women work slower than men would.” He said, making me frown.Flashback:I wrapped my arms around my mate as I laid her on bed, kissing her, and she
