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
“This war is just getting started, I do hope that you realize that.” He said, looking at us Alonzo, who did not bother to say a word. He knew what it was he was signed up to when he did. And he was well aware that this war was going to take a lot more out of them than it was going to give them.“This war is going to end with the death of Diablo. This is going to be the only way of this family to break and when it is broken, we will know how to act.” Alonzo said, choosing to respond calmly. “You managed to play your daughter well, I have to admit. I did not expect that out of you, but Sienna seemed to fall for the act of you being on her side. I believe that Myla would have told her the truth by now.“My love lost the one person who would have stood by her side, and that was going to be Elton. With the man dead, she knew that she had no reason to live. She knew that I would not allow her to be my wife anymore. And that was something that you did not want. And after Carlos's death, she k
Diablo:We stood by the door, knowing that we had to get things done.The night was going to be a long one and I knew that Myla expected us to be arriving.I looked at Sienna, who was in pain, but I knew that asking her to stay back was not going to help. She was going to be stubborn and was going to choose doing what she wanted anyway. Might as well allow her to come. Being able to see her would help me focus on the target and the job that we needed to take care of.“We're going to go inside and trust me, this is going to be one hard task. Are you sure that you are ready for it?” I asked, knowing that this was my last shot, and doing so, my eyes met Alonzo's as she stood from the window, watching us in silence. His men were stationed around the windows and I knew that it was only a matter of time before they pulled out their guns. They were just waiting for the order.“This is going to be our one shot Diablo. The last thing that I want is for us to back away. The men are outside and h
Sienna:“How did you manage to leave? Mom just literally calls me. How did you arrive?” Diablo wrapped an arm around my waist. He pulled me to his chest and I could tell that he was both worried and frightened.“Your phone was bugged, son, and we figured that we could use that to our advantage. We were already here when we called you. The one thing that happened was that we were waiting for Alexandra to show up. Sienna wanted to give her a chance to be honest, but it seems to us that it is impossible.” Natania said, taking her son off guard. I knew that Diablo did not expect her to be there, and the fact that she was here with me was one that I didn't even expect. I expected her to fight me. However, I was surprised when she told me that she was coming with me.“I can't believe that the two of you went off whatever arguments that you had for this. And you should be at the hospital. You're still yet to recover, Sienna.” Diablo said, and I raised an eyebrow. He smirked and connected his
Diablo:“What do you mean that she wants to leave the hospital, Mom? I literally told you to keep her there. What do you mean that she's leaving?”“Your wife here does not listen to a word that is being said. I told her what you said but she said that it doesn't make a difference. She is going to leave. And trust me, she has good reason for that. But Diablo, you are going to need to be careful, both you and Maria.” She said, changing the subject. I frowned in confusion and I knew that something was going on. If Sienna was leaving the hospital like that, then something had happened or was going to happen.“What do you mean that we need to be careful? My wife is going to leave the hospital when she is still sick and you are asking me to be careful about something that is yet to happen.” I said Snapping got her. I knew that it was not like me to do so, especially with my mother, but right now I had a lot to think about and Sienna leaving the hospital was the last thing that I needed to be
Sienna:I found when I opened my eyes to find myself in a white room.I was your sleep on the hospital bed. And though I still could not remember what happened, I knew that if I was here that either I was shot or something bad happened.This was the 4th time that I've woken up. Only at first, I was alone. This time I knew that I was not. And that fact alone had me aware of my surroundings. I had tried to sit up four times until now. And on each attempt the nurses would stop me. The last time she had put me to sleep. This time it seemed to me that she was no longer here.I looked around the room, trying to find Diablo, only to frown in confusion when I found Natania sitting on the couch. Her eyes met mine and she smiled before she got up. I tried setting up which you gently pushed me back, not allowing me to do so.“What happened?” I asked weakly. My head throbbed and it felt like I was being hit on my forehead with a hammer. I was not going to mention the top of my head, which felt li
Maria:“Are you sure that you want to do this, Diablo?” I asked, looking at my brother, knowing that he was in conflict. The fact that Sienna was at the hospital was not something that I liked. I did not know who shot her, but I knew that this was something that he had to take care of. It was supposed to be a priority, not Lexi.“We are not going to go back from this, Maria. The number of things that we have to deal with are countless and delaying one thing is not going to help us. At least we might as well get this one done. If we managed to get her, capture her, then things are going to end the way that we want. At least I hope so.” He said, not bothering to look at me.I knew that he had a lot on his mind and that he was thinking of so much. Sienna was someone that he loved. It pained me to know that I was going to be a reason to separate the two of them.The idea of being the person that was to be the one that hurt him was not something that I liked. I was just thankful that he wa
Diablo:Anger was a small word to describe what I felt.I kept my eyes on my wife, who was breathing heavily.An oxygen mask covered her face. Without it, she would not be able to breathe.The bullet that hit her left lung, nearly touching her heart.The sight of her blood as she lost conscience, not processing that she was shot, played in my mind.I didn't know who did it, who shot the fucking bullet, but I knew that it was not something that I could just ignore or let go of. Whoever did this was going to pay with their lives and I was going to be sure that they knew it.“Diablo, you are going to need to eat something.” Mom urged trying to get me to get up from the couch. She knew that I wouldn't get up. I would not leave her in this state.The idea that the person, whoever they were, was as close to the house as they were angered me. It made me furious to know that I could not protect my wife.“Please Diablo, you are not helping yourself in any way and she is not going to be able to
Alonzo:“Where do you think you're going?” I asked, looking at Lexi who already had her bags packed.“I don't think this should matter to you. I already have permission from Myla and Elton to go. Plus, who the hell do you think you are to ask?” She asked, glaring at me.“What do you mean who the hell am I? If anyone knows who you are and knows how twisted you can be, then it is me. If Myla chooses to ignore that, and if Elton does not know you enough, then I do. I know that you are up to something and you would not just be leaving simply because you wanted to go on break, especially after everything that we've have been through and especially knowing that you have Sienna, Diablo and the whole Duraturo family after your head.” I said, and she laughed.“My friend there after your head and not mine. While yes I am part of this war but the main thing that they need to take care of is the man who shot their daughter. You really need to set your priorities straight and you need to understand
Sienna:“I'm sorry, what?” I asked, glaring at my husband, who just gave me the news that they were going to see Alexandra and that they would not want me to be there. “Diablo, what the hell do you mean that I'm not going to be there when you see Alexandra?”“Now is not the time for jealousy, Sienna.” Netania said, and I raised an eyebrow. At the moment, she couldn't actually believe that I was being jealous of Alexandra, the woman who was my husband's ex-girlfriend.“Do you really believe that this is out of jealousy? My mother is siding with that woman, ignoring the fact that she is the Diablo’s ex. I have a lot to deal with when it comes to her, and I'm going to start with the fact that she was going to marry my brother.” I said, and Natania looked away from me. “You can't be serious about this.”“There is a lot that you are going to have to deal with at home. I don't want you to be there when things break close and if something does happen…”“Unlock will happen. Alexandra's not go
