Diablo:“What do you mean that she wants to leave the hospital, Mom? I literally told you to keep her there. What do you mean that she's leaving?”“Your wife here does not listen to a word that is being said. I told her what you said but she said that it doesn't make a difference. She is going to leave. And trust me, she has good reason for that. But Diablo, you are going to need to be careful, both you and Maria.” She said, changing the subject. I frowned in confusion and I knew that something was going on. If Sienna was leaving the hospital like that, then something had happened or was going to happen.“What do you mean that we need to be careful? My wife is going to leave the hospital when she is still sick and you are asking me to be careful about something that is yet to happen.” I said Snapping got her. I knew that it was not like me to do so, especially with my mother, but right now I had a lot to think about and Sienna leaving the hospital was the last thing that I needed to be
Sienna:“How did you manage to leave? Mom just literally calls me. How did you arrive?” Diablo wrapped an arm around my waist. He pulled me to his chest and I could tell that he was both worried and frightened.“Your phone was bugged, son, and we figured that we could use that to our advantage. We were already here when we called you. The one thing that happened was that we were waiting for Alexandra to show up. Sienna wanted to give her a chance to be honest, but it seems to us that it is impossible.” Natania said, taking her son off guard. I knew that Diablo did not expect her to be there, and the fact that she was here with me was one that I didn't even expect. I expected her to fight me. However, I was surprised when she told me that she was coming with me.“I can't believe that the two of you went off whatever arguments that you had for this. And you should be at the hospital. You're still yet to recover, Sienna.” Diablo said, and I raised an eyebrow. He smirked and connected his
Diablo:We stood by the door, knowing that we had to get things done.The night was going to be a long one and I knew that Myla expected us to be arriving.I looked at Sienna, who was in pain, but I knew that asking her to stay back was not going to help. She was going to be stubborn and was going to choose doing what she wanted anyway. Might as well allow her to come. Being able to see her would help me focus on the target and the job that we needed to take care of.“We're going to go inside and trust me, this is going to be one hard task. Are you sure that you are ready for it?” I asked, knowing that this was my last shot, and doing so, my eyes met Alonzo's as she stood from the window, watching us in silence. His men were stationed around the windows and I knew that it was only a matter of time before they pulled out their guns. They were just waiting for the order.“This is going to be our one shot Diablo. The last thing that I want is for us to back away. The men are outside and h
“This war is just getting started, I do hope that you realize that.” He said, looking at us Alonzo, who did not bother to say a word. He knew what it was he was signed up to when he did. And he was well aware that this war was going to take a lot more out of them than it was going to give them.“This war is going to end with the death of Diablo. This is going to be the only way of this family to break and when it is broken, we will know how to act.” Alonzo said, choosing to respond calmly. “You managed to play your daughter well, I have to admit. I did not expect that out of you, but Sienna seemed to fall for the act of you being on her side. I believe that Myla would have told her the truth by now.“My love lost the one person who would have stood by her side, and that was going to be Elton. With the man dead, she knew that she had no reason to live. She knew that I would not allow her to be my wife anymore. And that was something that you did not want. And after Carlos's death, she k
Sienna:“This marriage depends on a lot, Sienna.” My father said, walking me down the aisle. And though most of the guests were watching us, my father didn’t care as he spoke. He simply kept his smile on his face as he spoke.“Is that why you are sending me a bride, and rather than telling me that I look beautiful, you are mostly scolding me.” I said, keeping my eyes on the man that is to be my husband. Diablo Duraturo. The man who I am entitled to marry simply for an alliance.“You are well aware of your beauty, but what you fail to understand that we are not sending you as a bride. You are going to be protecting your family with your marriage. And nevertheless, you are still entering the enemy’s den. You will be my eyes and ears, and when the time comes, you are to leave.” He said, smiling at the guests that were around.My face was covered with a white veil. I have to admit, I didn’t want to wear it at first, I was glad that I did.Diablo looked at me before taking my hand in his a
Diablo:I walked past Sienna, heading toward the dressing room where I needed to be alone. Thankfully, she didn’t even bother stopping me as her best friend, Lexi, approached her.“What are you doing, brother?” Maria asked, following me. Her eyes met mine as she walked in before me, her eyes holding a mischievous glare as I knew that she was sent by my parents.“Coming to smoke a pot. I doubt that it should consider, sister. You have guests waiting outside, I would recommend that you go out to them.” I said, not bothering to look up at her from the cigarette that I was lighting up. “You know, it is you and my parents who invited them over.”“They are here for your wedding. You have a wife who you just married, you cannot just smoke a cigarette when you just…”“You should be thankful that I chose to wait until we were done with the ceremony before leaving her with her friend. Plus, all I am doing is smoking a cigarette, and I am being respectful enough to do it in private. Had it been
Sienna:“Do not forget what you’ve been told,” my father reminded me as the song reached its ending.“This is the fifth time that you have said that this evening, father.” I said, making him frown. He didn’t like being talked back to.“And I will say it a thousand others if it is what is required to remind you of your duties toward our family.” He said, taking a step back from just as the song ended. I stood in the center of the dance floor, by myself.I looked away from our guests, some were eyeing me carefully, but I chose to put on the best smile that I could. I was no fool, this night was nothing more than a test for me, a test that I did not intend to fail.I walked toward the dressing room, ignoring the clench that I felt in my chest. I might as well get changed from this long white dress. Something a little more comfortable to walk with was going to be a whole lot better for me.“For a woman who just got married, I am surprised that I keep seeing you alone.” Lexi, my best frien
Diablo:“I’ll go and find her.” I said, walking toward the dressing rooms where I saw her heading.“Diablo, I don’t think that it is a good…”“I don’t need your lecturing, Maria.” I said, stopping my sister. “For all I could care, you can go and tend to our guests. I’ll go and get her. You know, she has been announced as my wife. The least that I could do is call her out myself.”Maria didn’t say a word to respond but I could see her annoyance in her eyes as she watched me heading toward the dressing room. I knocked on the door twice, frowning when she didn’t open the door at first.However, what made things more complicated was who opened the door.“Lexi,” I said, and she smiled.“Normally, you would have been kissing me by now.” She said, frowning when she followed my gaze. I shook my head at the sight of Sienna who was laying on the couch, knocked out with a bottle of champagne by her side.“You got her drunk,” I said, snapping at Lexi who smiled.“She wouldn’t have gotten as drunk
