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
Sienna:“Easy,” I smiled, taking a step back as I avoided one of the kids, not wanting him to bump into me, as I walked through the park. He laughed and looked up at me with beautiful green eyes, his mother, who was running, struggling to reach him, seemed to panic when she saw me around the child. His curly hair was blonde, and I couldn’t help but find myself admiring his beauty.“Go to mama, you don’t want her to grow tired of following you, do you?” I asked, my voice softening as I looked down at him. He smiled and walked toward his mother, who in turn, let out a breath that she seemed to be holding.I nodded at her and she smiled, watching as I took a step back to leave. I shook my head and wrapped my arm around myself, knowing that this reality was never going to be mine. Not unless some miracle happened, one which I knew would never happen to me, I knew that Diablo wouldn’t even want to touch me. And that as a fact pained me more than I could let out to him.The way he kissed me,
Diablo:“You’re upset,” I said, looking at my beauty whose eyes were fixed on the mirror for a while.“I have a lot in mind,” she said, not looking at me. I walked toward her and sat on the edge of the bed, shaking my head in question. “I saw Nathan at the park today.”I knew that she chose to go out when I was speaking to my father. I wanted her to go and have fun, getting some air was something that she should be able to do freely. While I knew that men were following her, maids too, ensuring that she was safe.I had to admit, when the men told me that Nathan was with her, I didn’t expect her to tell me. But the fact that she did told me that my father was wrong about her. I believed in her and I was choosing to believe in her too.“He said that my father was with Carlos yesterday,” she said, looking down at her lap. She didn’t say a word for a few seconds, but I knew that she was thinking, debating even wondering what she was going to tell me.“They are planning on a bullet. Carlos
Lexi:“Did you manage to get anything to Diablo? I know that he is constantly with his wife, but I am sure that you would have been able to speak to him if you…”“Trust me when I say that I couldn’t say a word to him. The woman roams around him like a Velcro. He doesn’t even leave her side, one would think that he is falling in love with her.” She said, making my heart drop. The last thing hat I wanted was for him to be attracted to her. The woman was nothing but an intruder in his life, it was something that he had to understand.“You know for fact that Diablo is not the type to easily fall in love with a woman. No matter what you are going to try and conscience me, it is not going to work…”“Well, then you are going to have to see it yourself. You chose to leave the field open for her, and now she is taking advantage of everything. Diablo is always by her side, he doesn’t leave her, and he is giving her everything that a woman could ask for.” She said, making me frown. I looked away
