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
Sienna:I wrapped the blanket around my body, refusing to get any sleep, and yet the pain that I felt was one that I couldn’t explain.I didn’t care about him being with others, everyone had their past and it was not my place to judge him for his. But to know that the woman that he was with, the woman who he pretended not to know as I introduced them, was my best friend, now that wasn’t something that I could easily swallow.The way Lexi looked at me, lied to me, and even tried to darken the idea of being with Diablo now made more sense to me. The woman was his lover, and I wasn’t even sure whether or not they were lovers when we married, if I was a simple second option because they broke up, or if they broke up because we were getting married.The number of questions that played in my mind were countless, but I knew one thing, they were not old broken up lovers. If my brother, the man who was supposed to be my ‘wall’, was now not only an enemy, but was hitting me with such a fact, it
Maria:I walked out of the room without saying a word, shocked of myself for even entering that room in the first place.My phone rang, and it didn’t take me long to figure that it was Lexi. I shook my head and hung up on her, the last thing that I needed right now was to talk to her, not with everything that was going on, and not with the way that she’s been treating me.“Maria?” Diablo asked, frowning in confusion as he saw me beside his room.“Your wife is still refusing to eat. I tried to have the maids get her something, she is going to send it back before she leaves.” I said, not looking at him. He put his finger under my chin, raising my face to look at him, and shaking his head, I knew he was silently asking what I was up to.“What are you doing, Maria?” He asked, voicing out his question when he saw that I was quiet.“I listened to her,” I said, and he frowned in confusion. “While you left her to calm down, I chose to go and listen to what she was going to tell me.”“You are
Diablo:“What the hell did you do that for?” She asked, her voice hardening. “The girl was coming to her brother’s room, whether or not I was there…”“The main question here is; where the fuck do you think you’re going?” I asked, frowning at my wife. She raised an eyebrow at me and I shook my head in question at her, wrapping my hand around her arm, pulling her inside the room.“What do you want from me, Diablo?” She asked, and though I knew that she didn’t want to be by my side right now, I couldn’t help but find myself frowning at the way she was acting.“You are my wife, I doubt that you would just expect me to allow you to go out by yourself.” I said, and she scoffed.“I doubt that you expected me to want to ask your permission to begin with. And I wasn’t going out by myself, I know the rules that you have laid out for me to follow.” She said, and I shook my head at her.“You are judging me by a past relationship.” I said, and she raised an eyebrow at me.“You really believe that
Sienna:I tried, but I couldn’t.No matter how much I wanted to find myself looking the same way at Diablo, and no matter how much I tried to pretend that I forgot, I couldn’t.All I saw was the man who looked me in the eye and lied to me. And though I couldn’t face her with the fact, I knew that I had Lexi to blame too. The two of us weren’t talking, that was something that should have been painful to me, I knew that, but at this point, I was thankful that we weren’t. I didn’t know how I would be reacting toward her if we were.“I want these placed here,” I said, looking at the shrimp platters. “The drinks are going to be rotating around throughout the entire evening. I don’t want anyone to have an empty cup due to neglect. Unless they don’t want their glasses refilled, you are going to be sure that they stay full.”“I doubt that you would care about the guests having their glasses full.” Maria said, shooting her venom at me. To think that I was defending her against her brother the o
Diablo:“I am amazed by the lovely reception, then again, Sienna always did have her reputation when it came to arranging them.” Kyle, one of my partners said. “Jenna always mentioned how beautiful they were when they were in their foundations.”“I didn’t know that you attended foundations.” Maria said, looking at Sienna who smiled.“She ran them, she didn’t just attend. She was always sure to be the one to take care of things herself. Sometimes, even her friend Lexi would be with her.” Jenna said, looking at me. Sienna didn’t bat an eye as she heard Lexi’s name, but I couldn’t help but find myself feeling guilty. “You know, she’s gone missing for a while now. Some even say that she got married and ran away, others are throwing rumors that she was with child.”“Now, now, Jenna.” Sienna said, raising an eyebrow at the woman.“Oh, I’m sorry, I keep forgetting that you are against gossiping.” She said, putting a hand on her husband’s. The man chucked uneasily and my wife shook her head a
Sienna:“You seem to have caught the attention of everyone in the room.” Jenna said, clearly referring to her husband.“You know very well that the last thing that I aim to do is attract the attention of your husbands.” I said, and she raised an eyebrow.“Is that why you’re always too perfect?” She asked, making me fight back scoffing.“The fact that you think of me as perfect is flattering, but you of all people should know that I am nowhere near being so.” I said, and she rolled her eyes. “Anyway, how are you? How are things?”“I’m fine,” she said, her attitude changing from one that was friendly to one that was cold, silently letting me know that she wasn’t happy. This conversation was not going to be ending well, I assumed. “It seems your married life seems to be calm? Though the two of you are still considered newlyweds who are in a honeymoon phase.”“I am hoping that we can keep the fire of the honeymoon phase for a longer period,” I said, and she shook her head. I had to put o
