Sienna:I sat on the edge of the bed, debating on how things were going to go between Diablo and I from here.I knew that it wasn’t going to be easy for the two of us to be able to cope with one another from now on, and I knew that there was going to be a gap that I doubted would be fixed anytime soon. But I also knew this, I was going to need to stand by his side through this war. This was not a time for the two of us to argue, nor was it a time for the two of us to stand against one another.The door opened, revealing him, and I tensed before looking up at him as he approached me. His eyes studied my expression for a moment before he closed the door. “I don’t know what you are trying to plan, but I know this, the Sienna that I know does not easily back out.”“Indeed, she does not. But the Sienna that you know is not this Sienna, is she?” I asked, and he raised an eyebrow at me. He studied my expression for a moment too long before stepping deeper in the room to walk toward me. He
Diablo:“What are we looking for exactly?” I asked, looking at my wife who shook her head.“Maria spent most of her day in her room, she spent most of her day avoiding mingling with the family members unless she spent the day with Netania. She avoided talking to most of the family members when at home. The maids who took care of her room were the only ones who entered her room to check her things to clean up, and I know that most of them, if not all, are loyal.” She said, and I crossed my arms over my chest.I leaned against the doorframe, watching as she walked around the room for a moment, staring around her for a few moments. She didn’t touch anything, nor did she approach anything that she shouldn’t. I didn’t know what it was that she was after, but I could tell that it was something that might be important, whatever it was, I knew that it was.“You do realize that Maria is not the type to clean around her room and would not lift a finger unless she has to.”“And that is why knowi
Sienna:I stood, frozen as I processed the danger that was to come from this newfound information that we now had.The idea of Maria being associated with something like this. The idea of her playing a dangerous game like this one, and the idea of her betraying her family this way…No.“She was doing it right in front of me.” Diablo said, more to himself than me as he stared at the door. It was as if he was afraid to open it, and it was as if he was stuck in the middle of conflict, one that I knew that he didn’t want to find himself being caught in.Even the idea of this was not one that we wanted to think about, and I knew that it only meant more disasters than anything else. It meant that there were more lies that were hidden, more secrets, and the worst part of it was the fact that I knew that Diablo, now, was not going to be able to forgive himself for what was happening.“Diablo, we don’t have to go inside if you don’t want to be the one to do it. You can have Alexis or one of th
Sienna:“When did this all of this happen?” Diablo asked, voicing out his question. His eyes were fixed on the files that were in front of him, and I could tell that this was not a situation that he wanted to be considering right now. And I couldn’t blame him. Maria was the youngest of the family, to think that she was capable of something like this only meant that others could be capable of doing more.“It is not about when it happened, Diablo. It is about who helped her do all of this. Don’t get me wrong, but this is far too complex for Matia to be doing it alone. She must have had someone to help her out, the question is, who? And why would they be helping her out? What their gain would be out of it.” I said, and he pinched the bridge of his nose. “How about you take a seat? I believe that you are going to be more tensed up as you think about it. If you choose to think straight, you are going to be able to at least…”“How can a man think straight knowing that his sister was part of
Diablo:“That is suicide, Sienna.” I said, looking at my wife crossing my arms over my chest, but she shook her head.“Not unless we invite them on safe grounds. But we are going to need to find someone who is actually willing to die. For revenge, there are many who are willing to give their lives. Trust me on that, especially against my father. We just need to find a proper enemy.” She said, and I raised an eyebrow. “When he sees that Alonzo has grown to try and run away, that will be up to you to deal with.”“You do realize that Nikolay is not that stupid, Sienna? He is going to end up fighting or he is not going to come in the first place. He's going to send someone to represent him.” I said, crossing my arms over my chest. This was not the right plan to make. Inviting them on safe grounds is going to be an obvious message.“Not if we make sure that we are not the ones who host the invitation. He should not know that we are going to be there in the first place, the guest invitation
Sienna:“Are you sure that he's here, Alexis?” I asked, raising an eyebrow at the man who smirked at me.“He would not resist a message from you and you calling him the other day, it was enough. He is going to be curious, and your father is too. We've got your back from a distance.” He said, and I hummed in response before walking inside the safe hotel. I knew that Diablo was somewhere watching. He was not happy about this, but he also knew that it was for the best. My voice was calm, my stance too as I spoke to the receptionist.“He's waiting for you.” Michael was his name. He was well familiar with me. I smiled and nodded. “And Mr. Jonathan says please do not try and kill him.”I smiled and nodded silently giving him my assurance. I knew that Jonathan would be watching too. He wasn't going to be watching for the simple like of this, but he was going to make sure that I was safe. He owed me that just as much as I owed him a lot.“I am surprised that Diablo was willing to actually sen
Alonzo:I watched her from a distance, my eyes focused on her. Could you be honest? Or was this nothing more than a game to her?Knowing it was nothing more than a game and I would be stupid enough to fall for it. The idea that she would actually believe that I would be falling for it amused me, but I was waiting to see what she had in mind. I was going to wait and see where she was going to go with her game.No matter how much I despise this, her loyalty to Diablo is not one that I could deny.“What did you get from her?” Nikolay asked as he watched from outside the hotel. The camera in my pocket allowed him to see through whatever his daughter was playing.“Nothing more than what you saw, Nikolay.” I said, choosing to keep my answer vague. Though I knew that he was nothing more than a prick, I knew that I was still forced to work with him for now. He had to believe that I was going to be loyal by his side and he had to believe that I was not going to play him. Until I got what I wan
Diablo:“They are not going to believe this.”“I really don't care whether or not they believe it, as long as it caught his attention. It means that it was just going to get to my father and once it does…”“Do you believe that Alonzo is going to give that information to your father? You know for a fact that he is going to keep that quiet.” I said, stopping Sienna, who raised an amused eyebrow at me.“What do you want to bet on it? Because trust me when I say I saw it in his eyes. He is going to tell my father simply because he is going to want to prove a point, a point that my father is not going to believe, a point that my father's going to hate. And that is the fact that I am not against him. I am by his side from my own way. He does not want me on his side. He wants me to be against him so he can play the game of victim. That is something that you need to understand. Diablo. If he plays the role of victim, then he is going to be able to be justified for everything that he's doing. H
Diablo:“You haven’t said a word since everything that happened.” I said gently as I looked at Sienna.She smiled at me and shook her head as she stared into space. I knew that she was lost in her thoughts, and I knew that no matter how much she was going to try to hide it, I saw it in her eyes. Her pain was one that I could see, just as mine could be seen a mile away. Her as can be seen too.And that was not something that I wanted, but I knew that we were going to have to endure this pain one way or another. It was the way that we lived, it was the way that we survived, and it was the way that things were going to be.“I’m just allowing myself to process everything that happened. The fact that everything is over, the fact that it is done just keeps playing in my head, and yet when I look away, I find it a little too easy for it to be that easy. Do you know what I mean? I don’t know how to explain it, but it is just like difficult for me to process everything going on.”She asked, ma
Sienna:I could not bring myself to look at my father’s body as they pulled him out of the basement. Nor could I bring myself to actually voice out the pain that I was feeling at the sides of him. It was one that I did not expect. It was one that I did not like. But I knew that I was going to have to endure it.Alonzo was also being pulled out. The only one standing on her feet with the help of two maids was Netania, whose soul seems to have left her mighty Her body was just a walking corpse.I knew that she was dead inside after seeing the death of her daughter. It was something that touched me personally because I knew what it was to have a daughter. I knew what it was to be feeling the pain and being worried about your child.I knew that this was not something that any mother should endure, but I also knew that their treason might have had a price that was tougher than most. And that price was one that was going to live with her until her last breath.In Diablo’s eyes dying was goi
Diablo:It has been a while since I tormented someone the way that I did today.It was not something that I like to do, but sometimes I had to do it. Sometimes I needed to put those were my enemies in place. And today, not only did I need to put them in place, but I needed to show the whole world what it was to betray me the way that they did.And that included the man that I believed was my brother. That included my sister, who passed away a few days ago, and my mother who's been sitting here doing nothing, eating nothing and looking at nothing, says my sister passed.I was angry and I took my anger out on the man. I took out everything that I wanted to take on the man.Alonzo watched as I took my anger out on Nikolay. He watched them as they took my anger on him. He did not even make a sound.“I believe that this was satisfying to you? Or do you still have more torment in you to make?” He asked, looking me in the eye.Most of his body was bruised, his face was bleeding, he had lost
Sienna:I knew that Diablo did not want me to be by his side when he took my father's life.I also understood that he did not want me to endure that pain.But he needed to understand this. I was not going to allow him to do this by himself with everything going on. I was not going to just ignore everything and sit back while he did all The Dirty work himself.And this one, I was going to be by his side because I wanted to hear what my father had to say. I wanted to see what he was going to react to, what he was going to tell him.“Sienna, you don't have to be here. There are other things that you can be taken care of, but this is not one of them. This is not going to help you in any possible way.” Diablo said gently.“I know that it's not going to help me, but it is going to be something that I want to hear, I want to get over. I want to get everything in my head and I want to know why I made it what they did. It is my right for me to understand. And it is my right for me to understan
Diablo:I was not sure how I managed to wake up the next morning.The fact that Sienna had taken me to our bedroom, she had forced me to walk towards our bedroom, was something that I could not help but find myself being thankful for.Alexis was the only one who saw me being in the situation that I was in. He had helped her too. However, I knew that he was not going to judge if anyone felt my pain. If anyone understood my pain, it was him.His love for my sister was one that he was not going to admit out loud to her at least. But I knew this. He was in more pain than he could actually that out. He was fighting back whatever he felt. And I knew that he was doing his best to stay calm.“How are you feeling?” Sienna asked gently as she sat by my side. The fact that she was awake told me that I had overslept or that it was still too late at night and she was awake staying by my side.I did not deserve a woman like her in my life. I did not deserve the love that she was showing me. And no
Sienna:Diablo did not walk out of the room until later that night.I should not expect him to be roaming around as normally as I normally would have seen him.But the pain that I saw in his eyes was one that I did not want to see, which was one that told me that everything that he had feared had been done.Diablo had killed his sister.I did not even know where Arturo was. The man had disappeared. The man had refused to see or speak to anyone. All he did was go to his office and lock the door, and he’s been in there since then.I debated whether or not to speak to my husband. I debated on whether or not I can actually allow him to open up right now. But I knew this. He was not going to have to deal with this alone.I was going to be right by his side. I was going to be his support, his wall, the person that he leaned on.Because I knew for a fact that he needed it right now more than ever, even if he did not mention it. And I knew that he would not mention it.I walked towards his of
Diablo:My eyes were fixed on my trembling sister.She avoided my gaze and I saw her fidgeting under it. She did not want to be in this position. I knew that for a fact. I did not want to put her in this position either, but I was being forced to do so.I wish that she would have left me another option, but I knew that she was not going to be able to do anything about it right now. I knew that she was not going to be able to escape anything that she has built. She did her best and I now was going to do mine. I was going to put her in place the way that I knew that I should have done a long time ago.“Diablo, what are you doing right now?” Mom asked and turning my attention to her, it was the most painful thing that I had to do. I knew that this was something that was going to be drilled inside her head. I knew that she was not going to be able to forget it, but I also knew that this was how things were supposed to be. If I was going to harm her, then I was going to be considered as on
Sienna:To say that I'm surprised with everything that was going on was not going to be a lie.The last thing that I expected was to see my father attending something like this, especially after we had captured Alonzo. But the idea of him not coming was one that I would have been surprised of to He would want to know what his daughter was up to, he would want to understand why I was coming here, and he would want to understand how Diablo had allowed it.He still would not believe that I wasn’t loyal to Diablo.And I couldn't blame him, of course he wouldn't believe it.After everything that I struggled to prove to them, he wasn't going to simply believe that I was going to betray my husband, nor was he going to believe that I was going to stab or betray the family that I lived with.I did not even betray him, though I was against many things that he was doing.I watched as his men walked around. They were studying the parameter. They were doing their best to try and find out whether o
Diablo:“We are going to be right outside if you need anything.” I said, looking at my wife, who nodded in assurance.“Don't worry, Diablo. I'm going to be fine regardless of what is about to happen. I'm going to be fighting until the end. My father is going to be surprised when he sees me. He's not going to expect you to actually allow me to be there. He might be at the auction, subject to challenge to get to know whether or not being real about this.” She said, and I nodded. I knew that for function, the man was never able to expect me to put my wife through something like this, and I knew that the more I tried, the more she was going to be stubborn. I was not going to stop her. I was going to stand by her side from now on, because I know that deep down, she was the one person who stood by my side.“I should be worried because I know that we are going to be playing with fire. But I know that worry is not going to get us anywhere. If I'm going to be worried about everything that you
