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
Diablo:I sat out in the veranda beside my wife, admiring the night sky and view, knowing that things couldn’t get better.The two of us have been at peace with one another, choosing to live the way that we choose, away from what my father told me the other day.I had my arm wrapped around her, holding her to my chest, and it wasn’t until she saw a shooting star that she moved from my arms, smiling as a child would, reminding me of a sense of innocence that I knew everyone within this household didn’t have. And no matter how much it pained me, I couldn’t admit that even my sister, who I wished had it, didn’t.“Make a wish,” I said, looking at her with admiration in my eyes. It was small moments like this where I wondered how an angel like herself was born into hell’s pit, but I knew one thing, I wouldn’t change her for the world.She closed her eyes and a small smile formed on her lips before she laid on my chest once again, making me chuckle as I wrapped my arm around her waist, gent
Sienna:If anyone in the world would have told me that this was how it was going to be to be married to Diablo, the man who was supposedly my enemy, and the cruel man that everyone feared, I would have told them that they were lying.But never in my life did I feel as safe as I felt with him, in his embrace, while he ran his figner over my waist.I kept my eyes on the mirror, staring at my reflection for a second too long, getting lost in the number of thoughts that I had in mind.My heart raced, and for a second, I feared it being too loud that anyone would hear it, thankfully, no one could. My phone has been ringing for the past five minutes, and I was put on redial, and knowing that it was the one person who should have been by my side, against everyone, even my father, I was disappointed to know that he of all people, the boy who I kept safe from getting beaten, the boy who I would have taken a bullet for, and the boy who I would have killed for. It was the same man who stabbed me
Diablo:“What do you mean she just left the house?” I asked, frowning when my father called me.“Your wife found out about Lexi,” he said, making my heart drop. “She just left the house.”“How?” I asked, my voice darkening as I got up from the couch where I was sitting, reading through a few papers that I asked my accountant to bring in.“Her brother called.” He said, and I hummed in response, silently asking him to go on. Alonzo, who was in his own office, raised an eyebrow when he saw me leaving to the elevator. “He threatened to kill you, and she came to me. The man ended up telling her the truth in a way that he knew would hurt her.”“Have the men search the city for her. I don’t want her leaving nor do I want her to get hurt,” I said, knowing that this could be an easy way for anyone to harm her if they wanted to.“I did,” he said, now somewhat hesitating with what he was going to say. “I am guessing she knew that she was being followed or was going to be followed. She managed to
