Sienna:“Where are the two of you going? You just came back to the house.” Maria asked, raising an eyebrow at me. I knew that she didn’t expect us to be leaving as soon as we came, but I had to admit, neither did I.The girl has been roaming behind us, under our feet since we got to the house, and though Diablo didn’t pay her much attention, I had to admit that I was somewhat curious about what she had in her mind.Could she really be friends with Lexi? More or less, I knew that she would be using her. The girl was far too young to be Alexandra’s friend, and that was something that she was going to take advantage of. Then again, I doubted that the teenager knew anything about how twisted Lexi was…“We are going out for a vacation, just the two of us.” Diablo said, making his sister raise an eyebrow. I looked down at our bags for a second, watching as the maids approached us before taking them from us. They were going to put them in the car, I figured that it was going to be the only w
Diablo:“What is this place?” Sienna asked, looking around the house that I brought her to. It was away from the city, somewhere where the two of us can be alone and away from all the fuss that we’ve been dealing with.“I figured that the one place where the two of us can be alone in, truly alone, would be out of the city. While I know that it is not the most ideal when it comes to the place that its in, considering the hotels, penthouses, and Estate, it is quiet.” I said, looking around one of the few houses that I had that no one knew about. It was a getaway for me. “We can leave if you don’t like it.”“This is beautiful.” She said, looking down at one of the lakes, her eyes brightening as she took sight of it. “Do you own this?”“Yes,” I said, watching as she smiled. “But no one knows about it, well, if you don’t consider Alonzo.”I wrapped my arm around her waist, pulling me toward the house. The two of us walked inside the house and I ran my finger over her waist gently, keeping
Sienna:I woke up to the bedroom door opening, revealing Diablo.His eyes met mine as he saw me sitting up. The bedroom’s curtains were closed, but with the blackouts open, I could see his eyes meeting mine from a distance.“Morning,” I said, rubbing the sleep from my eyes only to process the fact that he walked inside carrying a tray in his hands.“Good morning,” he said, smiling when he saw my eyes meeting his. He walked toward me, and my eyes widened in surprise as he set the tray on the bed in front of me. “I trust that you had a goodnight sleep?”“What is this, Diablo?” I asked, my heart racing against my ribcage as I tried to process what I was seeing in front of me. My cheeks reddened, and it was at that moment that I was thankful for the curtains which kept the room dimly lit. He wouldn’t be seeing how re my cheeks were at least.“I figured that I could surprise you with something special. The two of us haven’t been able to have such small moments like this before, and though
Diablo:“You made these?” Sienna asked, and I laughed.“You really are doubting me so much, aren’t you?” I asked, and she blushed, looking down at her lap. I took a piece of toast and took a mouthful of eggs, putting them on the bread before extending them to Sienna. She raised an amused eyebrow at me, but she opened her lips and took a bite of it. I smirked and took the rest of it, putting it in my mouth.“I don’t doubt you, but the idea of you cooking is not one that I had in mind. I never saw you entering the kitchen in the house, and you know, the idea of you being as romantic as you are, as genuine…” I stopped her by connecting my lips with hers, making her smile. I wrapped my arms around her waist, pulling her to me, and she smiled into the kiss. The two of us resting our foreheads against one another as we pulled away.I ran my fingers over her waist, and she cupped my cheeks, gently grazing my skin, making my eyes soften. We pulled away to look one another in the eye, and I pe
Lexi:I watched, in silence, as the woman who gave birth to the heir of my husband slept on her bed.Her chest rose and fell with each breath that she took, and though he was small, her son slept in his bassinet by her side.“Do you want to hold him, Alexandra?” She asked, the woman that I refused to look at. Louis seemed to enjoy my reaction as I walked out of the room, furious at the fact that he was disrespecting me, openly, the way that he was.I walked out of the room, careful not to make a sound. The last thing that I wanted was to wake the bitch up. She could end up throwing rumors and that was not something that I wanted to handle.I sat on the chair in front of the room that she was sleeping in, and looking down at my feet, I got lost in my thoughts as I tried to think of something to do. I needed to get rid of the bitch. The child could serve as my son, he wasn’t of my blood anyway, I wouldn’t be getting attached to him, but using him was going to be a good motive for me.“I
Carlos:“What the fucking hell are you doing?” I asked, glaring at Lexi as she walked inside the hotel room. She raised an eyebrow at me and I watched as she crossed her arms over her chest, waiting for me to burst out. I wasn’t going to, though. It was not something that I was going to allow. “What are you waiting for as a reaction? I really am curious, what are you waiting for as a reaction from me?”“I am curious about what you would be willing to say or do.” She said, raising an amused eyebrow as she walked toward me. Her eyes met mine and the woman shook her head in question, waiting for my response. “I am curious about what you are going to tell me, what you are going to be doing with me, what you are going to…”“I am going to kill you if you don’t give me something that would be in my benefit.” I said, glaring at her and she laughed. She watched me in silence, waiting for what I was going to tell her, waiting for my reaction before she opened her mouth to speak, telling me the o
Diablo:“What are you up to?” I asked, wrapping my arms around my wife from the back, watching as she cooked lunch in the kitchen.“Welcome home, darling.” She said, looking sideways at me. I kissed her cheek and I could see the maids smiling in the kitchen, each one of them pretending to busy herself as they enjoyed the sight of us being together. “I didn’t hear you come in, and frankly, it seems that you’re back from work a little early.”I rested my chin over her shoulder as she stirred the sauce that she was making. The fact that she could cook was something that too me by surprise. She didn’t look like the type of women who liked to enter the kitchen, but even my father is now complaining about gaining a few pounds because of her.“I was done with what I had to do.” I said, and she nodded as she lowered the heat on the stove. The oven bell rang, and I let her go, watching as she grabbed the gloves and took the glass casserole dish from inside the oven.“Arturo complained about th
Maria:“What do you want from me, Diablo?” I asked, shaking my head in question as I looked at my brother. He was the same brother who didn’t even bother remembering my eighteenth birthday, the brother who saw no one but that wife of his to the point where he forgot his sister.“I genuinely am curious, does your attitude come with an expire date?” He asked, shaking his head in question. “Because one minute you are an angel, the next you turn into a demon coming from hell. I am curious about when that is going to end.”“You don’t have to be dealing with me if you want it to end, brother. I doubt that I am going to be forcing you to stay around me, nor is anyone going to question where you are when it comes to my life. You know, each one of you has his own life, I just have to go with it until you allow me to have my own.” I said, and he took a deep breath. I turned to the couch, knowing that he wasn’t going to let me leave the room unless he spoke to me.“Please tell me what you called
“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
