Sienna:“Are you sure that you want to go back home, Sienna?” Diablo asked, and I smiled, nodding at him.“As much as I want to spend more time alone with you, going home is the better option right now. We have our enemies who are ready to attack us at any given moment, and if we just cut some slack with things, if we loosen our grip on others, we are going to end up paying a price that neither one of us wants to deal with.” I said, resting my head on his chest. The day was going to be a long one, I knew that for fact, but I also knew that whatever we were going to do had to be done.No matter how hard it was going to be, we were not going to be running away from it. It wasn’t going to be the solution to our problem.“It seems to me that YOU don’t want to go back, though.” I said, and he smiled and nodded as he ran his fingers over my waistline.“Trust me, knowing that we are living in this peace, I don’t want to go anywhere away from you. I want to be by your side through it all and
Alonzo:“You can’t seriously be considering making a deal with Diablo? The man is playing you, and you are giving into him by believing that he is going to try making a treaty with us. The man is going to play us and he is going to do his best to have us in one place to have our heads.” I said, looking at Myla who raised an eyebrow at me.“Is it me or is that fear that I hear in your voice?” Alexandra asked, and I laughed, shaking my head at her before my eyes hardened.“You of all people should not be seen by Diablo or Sienna for that matter. She is going to have your head chopped off after she has pulled your hair, one bit after the other, forcing it down your throat for thinking of her husband let alone being his ex, sleeping with him, and even carrying his child.” I said, and her eyes hardened as Myla frowned in confusion.“What child?”“It was never his child.” She said, not bothering to turn to look at Myla. “It was my husband’s. I doubted that telling Diablo about it would hav
Alexandra:I wrapped my hand around Alonzo’s arm, pulling him back as I knew that he would do anything but confront me right now. Of course, he wouldn’t.The two of us knew that he was playing with fire, and I knew that it was only a matter of time before he got caught. The one question was why? What was he getting out of this?“What do you want, Alexandra?”“Lexi to you,” I said, and he raised an eyebrow, shaking his head in question as he did. “What the fuck do you think you’re doing? Are you losing your mind? Because this is the ONE explanation that I have to what you’re playing with.”“Maybe I have, maybe I haven’t. I am wondering, though, why are you asking?” He asked, making my eyes harden.“Alonzo, you are testing your luck with both Sienna and Diablo. I know you more than anyone here and I know what you are capable of. Why are you acting like some fool who is willing to fall for whatever lie they throw at you? I don’t understand?” I asked, and he studied my expression for a mo
Sienna:“You are my daughter, my pride, my glory, and when you marry Diablo Duraturo, you are going to bring honor to our family. You won’t just be his wife, though, you are going to be MY daughter. The daughter that I know will give me all the information that there is to know about that family, do you understand me, Sienna?” My father’s words played in my head, reminding me of the hardship that I was forced into before I got into this marriage. One that I never expected to work. One that I found myself falling in love with.“You’re bothered,” Diablo said, wrapping his arms around me breaking the train of my thoughts as I stood in front of the window, trying to clear my thoughts. Thoughts that I didn’t understand, ones that I couldn’t put my fingers to.“Sometimes I find myself wondering where I went wrong, whether or not I was doing the right thing when it came to the people that I once called my family. Others, I wonder whether I was going to be thinking the same way if I didn’t ma
Diablo:“I will admit, I didn’t expect to see you here. But it seems to me that you have more balls than I expected you to.” I said, looking at Alonzo who raised an eyebrow at me.“I am not the man who hides behind his woman. Then again, it is her who keeps hiding behind you. I am surprised that you even chose to deny bringing her. I expected her to be the first to be in this place.” He said, making my eyes harden. “It is a shame that she didn’t even attend her own brother’s funeral. I expected her to, but then again, being your wife does have its rules, doesn’t it?”“What do you want to reach, Alonzo? I genuinely am curious about what you aim to do. Do you really believe that Myla is going to get you anywhere? That she is going to end up giving you what she didn’t get?” I asked, shaking my head in question at the man. “Fucking hell, the woman couldn’t even give herself her own power. How do you expect her to do that to you?”“The same way her own daughter is doing that for you. She i
Sienna:I watched as Alonzo walked out of the hotel before turning to find Elton, the man that I was looking for, watching us from a distance.Diablo looked at me, wanting me to stop. I knew that he didn’t want me to go, but I also knew that it was something that I had to do. The two of us having already agreed on this, he knew not to do anything that was foolish that could end up harming the two of us out of an impulsive reaction that I knew he would and could end up having.“I am surprised that your husband chose to allow you come. Had it been up to me and had I been your husband, I wouldn’t have been as open as he is being. Then again, I am sure that he has his own perspective and you know…”“What do you want, Elton?” I asked, stopping him. “I know you well enough to know that you don’t just sit around and watch, waiting for something to happen easily. You have something in mind and I want to know what it is, and what you are going to go about. I am curious about how things…”“Now,
Diablo:I looked at my wife as she turned to walk back to me.Her anger could be seen a mile away, and though she didn’t say a word, I knew that she wanted nothing more than to blow the fucker’s head. I couldn’t blame her for that. Hell, even I would have had his head a long time ago, but I knew that it would be impossible for me to do so. At least, not for now.“I told you that I should have been there by your side.” I said, and she rolled her eyes. “Come on you need to rest, baby.”“I want to understand how I can rest when a man like him spoke to me the way that he did.” she asked, crossing her arms over her chest. “and not only that but he actually did the challenge. Diablo, my mother is playing a dangerous game, one that is going to kill her.”“well, what would you have us do?” I asked, raising an eyebrow at her. “You wouldn't agree with me if I tell you that we can kidnap her. and though I don't blame you, the fact that she is playing a dangerous game is not something that she do
Diablo:I watched as my wife lay on bed, curled up under the blanket as she slept.I didn't blame her for her anger. Her feeling was one that I would have felt too. I didn't even know how to explain what I felt about Alonzo, but I knew one thing, he was going to pay for what he did. However, being her mother, I knew that she was in more conflict than she was letting out.I got up from bed and gently kissed the crown of her head, careful not to wake her up as I did. She stirred, but thankfully she still curled up and slept.“I know that you are in pain, neonata.” I said softly. “But I'm going to be sure to set everything right. However, things are not going to go the way we want them to. They rarely ever do. This is war, and in war all is fair.”I walked out of the room, careful not to wake her up. However, despite the fact that I was careful, I knew that she would not wake up at all. She was given medication to get some shut eye. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have closed her eyes in the firs
