Maria:“I want to understand what you are trying to do, Maria, because as far as I can see, you are doing everything that is all to turn against you. Diablo's not going to forgive this. What are you trying to do? You already messed up once. You already tried to get with him once…”“I did not mess up. If I am choosing to give him a second chance mother, it is because I want to do so. Diablo is not going to keep controlling everything that I do. I'm not a child.” I said, choosing to play along with the game. I need to listen to Alonzo right now, and I knew that it was going to be hard, but this was going to be a lot easier for me. It was going to be a lot easier for me to make them believe that I was not a traitor. “He, he treated me like a child. That is not something that I am going to allow him to do again. Mother.”“Then stop acting like a child. Stop acting in a way that is going to make him treat you like one. Why would you go to the safe grounds to see Caspian? Why? Just explain
Diablo:“I'm not going to ask you more questions than necessary.” I said, walking inside Maria's room, who avoided looking at me as she kept her eyes out on the window. “Why Caspin? Why did you choose him? Out of everyone who could have been with you, out of everyone who would have been dying to be with you, why did you choose the man who broke your heart in more ways than could have been recovered?”“Does really concern you why I made my choices or do you just want to find yourself an excuse to why you are keeping me in this room like some prisoner? Because right now the last thing that I want is to look you in the eye or even speak to you, brother.” She said and I took a deep breath. I knew her mind myself not to hurt her. I knew her mind myself not to break her heart, but the word that I knew would hurt her feelings. But right now, the last thing that I wanted was for her to be crossing her limits with me.“I think that you know that the man that you are speaking to is not a strange
Sienna:“Do you really believe that it's going to work? That Maria and I are going to be able to talk?” I asked, looking at Diablo, who shook his head.“I don't believe that, but I at least want you to try. She's not listening to me. She might listen to you. She hates you, yes, but she might actually listen to a person that is not her brother.” Diablo said, choosing not to be subtle about it. I raised an eyebrow at him, and he chuckled before wrapping an arm around me. “I know that it's going to be difficult, but it is the only thing that I know that I can do. Mother's words keep playing in my head, and when she told me about Caspian, when she asked me to actually accept it simply because she was feeling alone, I figured that maybe you would be able to speak to her.”“I really am surprised that she chose to get back to Caspian after everything that he had done to her. I didn't think that she would actually think of that. Then again, people do things when they're in pain.” I said and h
Diablo:“What are you doing, Diablo? Why are you sending her there?” Mom asked, entering my office. This was not something that I wanted to discuss right now, but I knew for a fact one thing. Sienna knew what she was doing.“Did you know that Maria was talking to Alonzo?” I asked, running my finger over a piece of paper that I had on my desk. The idea of my mother not knowing that was one that I understood, but the fact that she was telling me that I was doing something wrong towards her was not something that I liked.“What do you mean that Maria is talking to Alonzo?” She asked and I nodded.“Alonzo is off the safe grounds. When Caspian approached Maria, Caspian was sent by Alonzo. To keep my sister safe, to keep her from me realizing that she was betraying us, he sent him to her. This was all part of their delusional game.” I said, clenching my fist before looking at my mother. “My beloved sister is doing it again. She is betraying us the same way that she did with Alexandra. Only
Sienna:“Can this day get any worse?” Maria asked the second I walked inside her room.“I would have knocked on the door, but I know for a fact that you wouldn't have said that I could come in. And whether or not you are decent does not mean that I would see anything that I haven't seen before. And because of that, I chose to walk inside.” I said, and she raised an amused eyebrow at me before shaking her head.“Well, you see, now that I am alive, do you see that I'm not talking to anyone? And you see that I'm alone. Get the fuck out of my room. And if you think that you can come inside just because you want to come inside, then you are very wrong.” She said, and I shook my head.“Diablo told me about you and Alonzo. He told me that you are not with Caspian, and I think that even your mother would know that by now.” I said and her eyes wide didn't surprise. She wanted to speak, but I raised the hand stopping her. I did not come here to hurt her. “I'm not here to judge you, nor am I here
Diablo:“It seems to me that it did not work?” I asked, looking at Sienna who shook her head.“She's not going to say that it worked, but I know that I spoke to her. I spoke to her heart, not her physical body. She's going to listen somehow. She might choose to be stubborn, or might choose to listen to what I said to her. Either way, I spoke to her. Right now, what you need to do is be patient. The result is not going to come simply because I spoke to her, Diablo.” Sienna said, looking me in the eye. I wrapped an arm around her, pulling her to my chest before hugging her tightly. She hummed in contentment before pulling away to look at me. “We're going to need to play a game, though, not on her, but on Alonzo, who thinks that he can cross his limits the way he pleases simply because he is playing a child's mind.”“You know the Maria is not a child, right?”“While I know that if you are saying this, I know that deep down you want to wish that she was. I know that this might not make an
Maria:Sienna's words played in my head, and for a few moments I found myself doubting my decisions. I found myself doubting what I was doing.But I knew that this was what she wanted. She wanted me to doubt what I was doing. She wanted me to feel like I was weak. And she wanted me to believe that I was.But I was not going to give her that. I was not going to allow her to think that I could be manipulated. This was not something that I was going to allow her to try and do. And I knew that this was something that not only would she do to me, but she would do to Diablo.I doubted that Mother knew of this. I doubted that she was being honest. Diablo would never tell Mother. He would never break her like that.I looked at my reflection and wrapped my arm around myself. Sienna had no reason to lie about this. She had no reason to play me like a fool. I had answered that she would be doing so. I was going to handle this now depended on how I was going to be able to react.“What are you goin
Diablo:I stood beside Sienna, my heart aching with each passing moment as I watched my sister walk out of the house.I knew that mother's heart was breaking, she did not even walk out of her room, but I knew that she was watching her from the window. And when Maria looked up at the window, I followed her gaze, only to find my mother closing the curtains.For a moment I wanted her to take a step back. For a moment I wanted her to turn around and say that this was a mistake, that she was willing to go back from it. But it seemed to me that I was wrong. My sister was not going to turn back from what she was choosing. This was a choice that she had made and it seems to me that it was something that she was not going to change.I wrapped my arm around Sienna, seeing as she noticed my hesitation. I wanted her comfort, I needed it, and I could tell that she understood that.She put her hand on my chest, gently tapping it before kissing the center of it, right where my heart was. I knew that
Third Person Point of View:“Open the door for me.” She called, trying to get those servants that worked for her to open the door. She wanted to leave the house again, but she knew that she was not allowed to do so.“Ma’am, you know that you are not allowed to leave.” One of the maids said, looking at her. She raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms over her chest as she studied her expression.“I am curious about the way that you think that you are able to speak to me. Is it because my son is allowing you to do so? I am curious how much is he paying you, you know, to keep me locked here? How much does he keep paying you on a monthly basis? Does he pay you daily? Is it enough for you to sustain yourself?” She asked, looking at the maid whose heart raced against her ribcage. She wanted nothing more than to leave this place. That was something that the maid knew for sure, but she knew her job well and she kept it held until she was done with it.“Ma’am, with all due respect, I'm going to
Sienna:“Do you think that it is a good idea for him to go on his own, Diablo?” I asked, looking at my husband whose eyes softened as he looked at his father leaving towards the car.“Though I don't want him to leave, I know that it is good for him to go. He wants to find his own way and I do not want to stop him. I don't want to be the person to get in his way when it comes to that. I know that it is not something that you might understand right now, but I know that it is the right thing to do.” He said. And I could tell that he was ignoring the cleanse that formed on his chest, that he was trying to fight back the pain that he felt.Even the children were upset that their grandfather was leaving. This was not something that we wanted to happen. After him and I seem to have made-up a little relationship with daughter and father relationship, the idea of him just leaving again was not one that I wanted to think about. And when Diablo told me that him walking me down that altar was bec
Diablo:“What changed, old man?” I asked, approaching my father as he took a sip of his Scotch. “You did not want her approaching you, nor did you want to approach her. What's that really changed for you to actually want to be by her side?”“Nothing changed, son. However, I came to realize that she was making you happy, and not only you, but that the kids were happy and content, that they were being raised in a way that the Duraturo family line should be. They were being raised to be strong, independent and able to do what they wanted to do. She was making sure of that and that is something that I wanted to her to actually understand.” He said and I raised an eyebrows. I crossed my arms over my chest, waiting to understand what he was going to tell me about this. This was going to be impossible for me to just simply believe.“You want me to believe that after the months of you not wanting to talk to her, after the months of you telling her off, and after the months of you actually pus
Sienna:To say that I was nervous was going to be an understatement.And the fact that my children did not make this any better was something that I was not going to be able to deny. If anything, their questions only made me a little more nervous.“Mama, where are you going to be marrying Papa again?” Juliano asked, smiling at me.“Mama, who's going to walk you down the aisle?” Ariana asked, looking at me.And some of their questions actually hurt my feelings. Not because they did anything wrong, On the contrary, it was because they did not have any answer to give them. It was because I knew that they had the right to ask, but I did not know how I was going to respond, especially when I knew that this was a fact that should have been settled with every single girl.But when I stood, knowing that I was going to walk down that altar alone, I found myself feeling weak. I found myself wondering how I was going to be able to do it. The first time I walked with my father, it was under threa
Diablo:I watched as my wife walked down the altar.The smile that formed on my face was one that I could not contain. And I knew that everyone that was watching, everyone that was here, saw that in my eyes, saw that in my gaze, saw that in how calm I was.This was a moment that I did not expect to happen. Not again. At least not this way. Not in this most genuine and beautiful way that it could happen.And the fact that I knew that she was not only now representing me, not only now walking towards me, but also wanting to come. She had chosen this. And the memory of it was one that I was never going to be able to forget. It was one that was going to stick in my head until the end of time, until I took my last breath.Flashback: “Diablo…”“I want you to say that you want this, I want you to be willing to want this, and I want you to be in love with every moment of this.” I said, stopping her. “The first time we've got married, the two of us were forced into it. The first time you walk
Sienna:Diablo was hiding something, and whatever it was, I knew that I wanted to find out about it.Though I knew that it might not be something that I didn't like, I also knew that he was acting too odd for my liking.The way that he was being sweet, loving, kind, I doubted that it was only for the two of us to make up. There was something else to it. I just couldn't put my finger on it. I couldn't understand what he had in mind and what he wanted to do.All I knew was this. If I knew my husband did not find you, that he was hiding something, was it pain? Did he plan on leaving? Was he going to do something that I did not like? That was not something that I understood. That was not something that I knew“Diablo, do you want to tell me what it is that you have in mind, my love?” I asked as I lay on his chest. His back was against an oak tree. He didn't say a word for a few moments, he just tightened his arms around me. Our love session was one that I did not expect, especially not in
Diablo:I smiled when my wife and I walked out of the house. That you of us being the married couple that we were when we first started being in love.It was not an aspect that I would have expected, but I was thankful for every moment that one time between us. I was thankful for the fact that she was more than willing to actually give me a chance to be her husband, to be the man that she wanted to be with.“Do you want to tell me what you are thinking?” Sienna asked, noticing that I was quiet.“I am thinking about how lucky I am to have you as a wife, how lucky I am to have you by my side. Despite everything those two of us have gone through, you chose me. You're still choosing me every single day.” I said, and she smiled.“I think that you know that the two of us made that deal a long time ago. It is us against the world, no matter what happens. And that means regardless of what you might do, I'm not going to end up pushing you away. If anything, I'm going to keep giving you a chanc
Sienna:Diablo had his arm wrapped around me as I lay on his chest.The two of us would look at one another before looking away as we got lost in one another's embrace. For the first time in a very long time, the two of us were just together, lovers, man and wife, without complications, without responsibilities and without all the pain that we've been forced to deal with.“I thought that you were going to sleep.” He whispered as he caught sight of me looking up at him.“I would have, but I can't bring myself to do so. The idea of being by your side right now is one that I've never thought it would actually happen again, and I'm more than happy that we are living through something like this.” I said softly. He smiled as he tightened his arms around me, and pulling away from his embrace, I sat, straddling his lap.“It has been a while since the two of us have been together, away from all the responsibilities that we were forced to deal with. I would admit that much.” He said, and I nodd
Diablo:I tightened my arms around my wife as I pulled her closer to me, taking a deep breath, inhaling her, smelled her perfume was one that I found myself growing to admire. She had changed it, but it was one that suited her even more.I can try not letting my lips linger there, sucking on her sweet spots, loving the effect that I knew that I was having on her. I knew that she was going to try and deny it, but it was only a matter of time before her body gave in to me. Then again, she was not the time to actually give me a hard time when it came to showing me the effect that I had on her.“Do you know how much I love you?” I whispered to her, letting my hot breath hit her earlobe. She moaned in response and I smirked before biting on her earlobe, sucking on it gently.There was a reason why I wanted this to be between the two of us, why I wanted her to be away from the house. I wanted her to remember that there was the two of us against everything. It was the two of us that would st
