I am genuinely curious. I have been reading one of the readers comments, and I found myself wanting to ask: Do you want our couple to end up being together?
Sienna:My chest ached with each breath that I didn’t realize that I was holding.“You need to focus on what is right, Sienna.” I said, encouraging myself knowing that I was alone in this. “Backing out from this is not something that you can afford.”“He is your husband. You are not going to get anywhere if you stand against him, and you know for fact that he does to want you being against him either.” I said, staring at my reflection. He wasn’t in the house. That was something that I was thankful for. I didn’t want him to hear me saying that. I didn’t want him knowing that I did to want to stand against him. But right now, there was a lot that I had in mind.“For your kids and your family, you are going to need to do this.” I said, wrapping an arm around myself. I took a deep breath and walked out of the room, not knowing what to expect in between. I had to admit , things were harder on me lately, and I knew that they are only going to be harder. My father, the one family member that
“You could have had her life, you do know that, right?” He said, looking at Alonzo, who looked away from him. “You could have killed her and you would have been done with this. However, it seems to me that it is very obvious why you did not want it to do it.”“I couldn't have killed her as easily without getting caught. You know for a fact that Diablo is not going to allow anyone to be around her, not without him being there. And I do believe that you of all people should know that your daughter is not an easy person to see, kill or even be around. She fights back.” Alonzo said, looking at the man who smirked at him, already reading his expression before he could voice out a word. Refused to admit it, but he knew that what the man was saying was real.Nikolay Ivanov, the father of the strongest woman of them all, Sienna Duraturo. The wife of Diablo Duraturo. The two strongest of all lovers.“And that is what you like about her, that she fights back, that she is not going to allow you
Sienna:“I do.” The words played in my head, reminding me of the night that I married Diablo, the night when my whole life changed.“I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride.”Little did I know that this was the first day of everything changing. Of my whole life changing and of my world turning into something that I never expected it to. My reality becoming something that I wouldn't have thought about.A reality that I had to live with my husband…“You know that we are doing is unwise, right?” I said, looking at Diablo as the two of us walked inside the hotel.And though I stayed quiet, I couldn't help the frown that formed on my face as I took sight of him amongst the faces around. Following my gaze, Diablo looked in the direction that I was looking and took his out in question. However, the man was no longer there. Alonzo was not there anymore.“Are you okay?” Diablo asked, and I nodded.“I could have sworn that I saw him, that I saw Alonzo in the distance. He's
Diablo:“How would I be sure that it was not your family? How would I be sure that it was not you who wanted to plant that bomb inside the box?” The memory of that night, the night when the two of us got married, kept playing in my mind as I knew that things have changed since then.The idea of me thinking that you would have something to do with this and what I saw today, what I saw the same year on that very night even, was a reminder to me that things were different. She was not the woman that I thought that she would be. If anything, she was the one pure Ivanov around. Thankfully, she was now my Duraturo…My eyes scanned the surrounding as I wrapped my arm around my wife, who was clearly anxious about being here. She was doing her best not to say a word or show it, but I knew that she was not happy about it. And one thing that I knew for sure, if she knew that someone could read her like an open book, then it was me. And that was something that she often kept in mind.The idea of
Sienna:Diablo and I entered the bedroom, and I couldn't help but frown at the fact that he was not telling me anything. It was as if he was carrying a heavy burden, and he did not want to talk about it. But that was not something that I could just easily accept. The two of us never heard anything from one another. The idea of him doing so now is not one that I was going to easily let go of.In our seven years of marriage. This was the first time that he chose to hide something from me like this. But I understood his reason. I rarely ever interfered when it came to family problems, but this was something that I needed to. I needed to understand what was going on, why Alonzo was against us, especially since he was siding with my father.“This is just the beginning. My death is just the beginning of everything, Sianna…” My mother's words kept repeating themselves for a while, and seeing her shoot herself in the head was not something that I expected to say. It only showed how devoted th
Diablo:“It took the two of you a bit too long for us to actually believe that it was just you getting ready for dinner.” Maria teased, walking towards us.I could see her anger in her eyes as she looked at Sienna. Sienna, however, chose not to say a word. Instead, she kept her attention on us, on me and the children.“We sent Juliano to call for you an hour ago. What would have happened if the food became cold?” Maria asked, raising an eyebrow.“I would have had dinner with my wife. I doubt that there should be an issue.” I sighed, crossing my arms over my chest.“That is not why we asked you to come and join us. We asked you to come because it has been a long time since we've had a family dinner. Something that you have been ignoring, dearest brother.” She said, taking a step back.The fact that I was seeing her on her feet was something that I was more than a little grateful for, especially after everything that has happened, especially after what the fucker had done to her.Her fa
Sienna:“Are you sure that as a married woman you should be going out of the house at this time of night?” Natania asked from behind me. I had to turn around to face her, and she raised an eyebrow, crossing her arms over her chest.“Diablo is well aware that I'm going out and I doubt that I'm going to need to ask you for permission considering that my husband knows and that I am this family’s…”“You don't need to ask me for permission to do anything. I was asking if it was wise of you to go out at this time of night. What are people going to say? Or that does not concern you, considering that you don't really care about the reputation of the family, do you?” She asked, hitting me with something that she knew was not true. She was only taking out her anger because Diablo was disagreeing with Maria.“Is there anything that you need from me, Natania? Because I believe that you have things to take care of and neither one of them should include me. What I do and what I am up to concerns my
Diablo:“I am trying to find a good reason behind why you are treating Sienna the way that you are. However, nothing makes sense. I know they have no reason behind hating her and yet all you seem to do is throw your hate and anger at her and I want to know why.” I said, crossing my arms over my chest as I saw my mother standing in the living room.Her back was to me as she looked out the window and though she did not turn her face me, I could tell that she tensed. She was not happy by my question, but after hearing what I did and after the way that she spoke to her as if accusing her, I knew that I could not just let it slide. “Your beloved did not take any time to tell you what happened. I was surprised. I figured that she would wait at least until she got home. It seems to me that she wanted to leave before the storm started, didn't she?” Mom said, not looking at me. “If you are curious, then you should know by the way that you look at your sister, the way that you treat her and the
Sienna:My chest ached with each breath that I didn’t realize that I was holding.“You need to focus on what is right, Sienna.” I said, encouraging myself knowing that I was alone in this. “Backing out from this is not something that you can afford.”“He is your husband. You are not going to get anywhere if you stand against him, and you know for fact that he does to want you being against him either.” I said, staring at my reflection. He wasn’t in the house. That was something that I was thankful for. I didn’t want him to hear me saying that. I didn’t want him knowing that I did to want to stand against him.

I took a deep breath and walked out of the room, not knowing what to expect in between. I had to admit , things were harder on me lately, and I knew that they are only going to be harder. My father, the one family member that
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
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
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
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:“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
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
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 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
