SENNA"What does it say?" Trey asked as he came to stand beside me.I stared at the paper for a long time, a mix of panic and anger overcoming me. I pushed the paper into Trey's hand as I wasn't even ready to speak before I walked into the mansion."This is progress," Trey said as he followed behind me.I turned to look at him with wide eyes. "Progress?! Is that what you call it?"Trey frowned and nodded. "Yes. Progress. That is what I call it. I know how evil Diablo is. But his leaving this for us is enough for us to follow through. We have to be smart about it." "Inform the board members that there would be a meeting in an hour. We're driving to the office as soon as possible." Trey nodded, and while he waited for me, I got changed into something simple—a pair of loose slacks and a black T-shirt, followed by a pair of boots for easy movement. Trey was waiting by the car when I stepped out, and we drove straight to the office. Elios, Rocco, and a few other Consiglieres— two a
BALIADays Before..."It is not over yet, Balia." Luca hissed as we walked across the bushes leading out into the avenue."Why? We already escaped."He turned to look at me with wide eyes. "Don't you get it? Senna killed our parents! You think I am going to let him go that easily?!"I blinked. "I know you want revenge. I want the same, too, but it is too dangerous to do that right now. Senna is a powerful man. You can't take him down that easily. He's going to end your life, and I don't think I am ready to lose another loved one." "Not when I have a backup, Balia." "Backup? What do you mean by backup?" He chuckled. "You think I am doing this alone? You think I just walked into his mansion with that cock and bull story without a backup?" "And what is your plan?" Before he could give me a reply, a car honked behind us, and we both turned to see a sleek black Lincoln Navigator parked close to us. Its tinted windows wound down, and a man wearing a pair of dark shades waved
DIABLONothing gave me joy than seeing Senna hurt and then bringing him down to his knees. It didn't have to be a direct contact. It was what affected him the most.I had studied him for a very long time, noticing every provocation, every trigger, and everywhere to hurt and torment him. His biggest fear wasn't him getting hurt. Senna didn't care about his life, and he had no idea how much of a selfless bastard he was. So, I did the best thing I was good at. I triggered all of them. He was starting from his partners. I killed Batista. It had unhinged him, but I was sure he had no idea about that. Then, I went ahead to start an attack on his warehouses. It was linked to him, and I saw how it had him unhinged. While all of these happened, I planted Luca. He was the perfect guy for the job. He also wanted revenge, so I knew he was going to do this to the fucking last. You know, Senna believed he was more intelligent than me. There was no disputing how smart he was. He had carried
BALIAThe last sound I heard before crumpling to the floor was a door bang as he exited the room.Tears streamed down my cheeks as I tried to wipe off his semen from my body. He had once again created a mess for me.It brought back terrible memories. The ones Senna had inflicted on me, and I nearly categorized them as the same time as men. But it wasn't true. Senna was different. He didn't have the same Aura as this man.He was pure evil. Fucking evil, and I could hear it when he spoke. I saw it in his eyes, and it showed in the way he hit me that he was capable of doing worse than Senna.There was not anything to be thankful about, but I was glad that he left the lights on. Pushing to my feet, I walked towards the single drape at the other side of the room and pushed it to the side, only to be met with grasses and concrete pavement. There was no light pouring in from the window, and it frustrated the hell out of me. I felt suffocated in here. I was in pain, and I couldn't walk wit
BALIAI had spent the rest of yesterday trying to distract myself by looking around the room. I found several tools and old materials. This place must have been a storage room in the past because everything was dusty.I suddenly burst into tears. Nothing but my thoughts had triggered me.Like a fool, I had trusted Luca again, believing he had my best interest at heart. In the past, he had hurt me so much, but I only thought of him once again because I wanted his redemption. Because I believed he could change. Hell, he was my brother, and I would always forgive him.Well, I wasn't sure about that anymore, not after what he had done to me.I missed Senna. Terribly. I used to hate him. Hell, I had moments when I hated him, but not anymore. After my outburst one night, he had changed, seeming to realize he was doing all the wrong things to me. He had made me feel safe. I made sure I consented to his advances. Hell, he had indirectly taken me on dates. For the first time, I wanted to go
SENNAI returned to the mansion after staying out for days. Trey had gone back home to be with his wife, promising to return as soon as she was done with chemo.On getting home, I noticed how serene everywhere was. I was greatly bothered by it. Balia wasn't home. Why did I return here when all that brought me back was her?It had been tough to admit it. But most times, I always returned to be close to her. Before she came, I spent most of my time in my hotel. Sometimes, I did not return to the mansion for weeks, and whenever I returned, I didn't exceed three days. The excitement and expectation were no longer there. On getting into the house, I found Tina standing before one of the cleaning maids. She was instructing her on something but stopped immediately when she saw me. She stared at me for a while, wanting to say something. I saw it in her eyes, too. Then she walked up to me. "You haven't been home for days. Are you alright?" I scoffed and took off my jacket. One of the
SENNA"Stop staring at me." I snapped at Trey.We were parked far away from Diablo's mansion, watching as every one of my men surrounded his building. It was late at night and the best time to strike. Diablo wasn't going to expect our timely visit. "If you're staring at me to remind me that I am making a mistake, I'd suggest you stop looking at me and focus on directing the men to their positions."Sighing, Trey nodded and tapped the one-way device in his ears. He cleared his throat. And began to position the men while I watched.I had sent one of my most skilled men, Luciano, to take control of the tower and kill all the men. He had worked as a sniper for the US Army sometime in the past and had retired early due to underlying mental issues. But I had recruited him when I realised he was a very important investment. "Do you copy Luciano?" "Yes, sir." "Taken them down?" "Yes. They're all dead." I smiled. "Very good. Now, open the gates." I twisted my keys in the ign
BALIA"What the hell are you doing, Luca?!" I cried in a hoarse voice and let out a dry cough that sent pain shooting up my chest. Senna was right there to place his arm around me."Stay back, Balia," Senna whispered as he pushed me behind him. "I need to talk to him. He's my brother. He'll listen to me." "He won't." Senna hissed between his teeth. "Let me take care of this." Sighing, I nodded and stood behind Senna while watching Luca, who still had a gun pointed at Senna from above. My heart raced. The last time I had been in such a situation that involved guns, I had been hidden inside a closet. But now, I was face to face with one while the man who had killed my parents protected me. Diablo's words came rushing back. He had told me the full truth. Luca was responsible for everything but somehow made it look like Senna's fault. "And what makes you think you can leave with her, bastard?" Luca growled. "Balia, are you so quick to forget what he did to our parent
