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, but then again, with everything that is going on; the two of us figured that she could loosen up a bit.” She wrapped her arms around my shoulders, pulling me to her, waiting for my reaction. “I figured that it would be a nice side for you to see before you married her. You know, you are going to be that husband to her, and…”

“The two of us, you and me, have already spoken about this. You know that she is going to be my fucking wife on paper. Our families depend on us getting married and I am not going to allow your jealousy to be ruining what we have allied for.” She scoffed, and I watched as she unwrapped her arms from around me, clearly annoyed by my response.

“You are saying this now, and then there will come a time when she catches your attention. You might not be noticing her now, but sharing a room with a woman is bound to make you do so. And when that happens, I do not intend to be the one who is thrown aside as one of your…”

I connected my lips with hers, stopping her from completing her sentence. She smiled into the kiss and I cupped her cheeks, deepening it as she put her hands on my torso, holding me to her.

“You and I both know that this is not going to happen. While yes, she is my wife, it is going to be on paper. I have seen enough women to know that I have my heart to one alone. I do not intend to soften for a woman simply because she is sharing my bed.” I said, and she frowned. “Lexi…”

“You are going to share a bed?” She asked, shocked by my statement.

“I doubt that you expected her to be sleeping in the guest room?” I asked, raising an eyebrow at her.

“There are tens of rooms within your household, she could have had one of them. Make a fucking excuse to do so. I don’t care, but you are not going to share a bed with her, Diablo.” She said, and I took a deep breath.

“Are you done?”

“I am being serious. I am not going to sit back and watch you sleep with the woman, even if you are going to claim that it would be…”

“Lexi, it is bad enough that you got her drunk. The two of us are supposed to play the happy couple, and rather than do so, you just got her drunk.” I said, and she looked away from me.

“I needed to speak to you, and I knew that I wouldn’t be able to do so if she was roaming around your feet. But now it seems to me that it doesn’t make a difference. The woman is going to be sleeping in your room, beside you on your bed. It is only a matter of time before she has caught your attention, somehow, and I am just going to be that extra woman. It is not something that I want for myself, but it is what you seem to be wanting for me.” She said, and I scoffed.

“You are speaking like some jealous woman who has just met me. It is not like you haven’t known me for a long time, and if anyone saw you, they would think that the two of us…”

“I do not need to look at or even consider how others would be seeing me. What matters to me is how I see them, and right now, I am not very happy with what I am hearing, what I saw, and what I think that I am about to see.” She said, taking a step back. “If you choose to have her in your room, then there is no place for me with you, Diablo.”

“Lexi, you are not going to pull that card on me.” I said, and she scoffed, wiping the tears that formed in her eyes.

“I said the same thing when you were getting married. You claimed that it was for family, but here we are.” She said, looking at the door where she had Sienna laying on the couch. I didn’t even know what she had her drinking, but I didn’t know how I was going to manage getting her out of the room without catching everyone’s attention.

“Enjoy your new wife. It seems to me that it’s what you’re going to be doing anyway.” She said, taking a step back. “Only don’t be coming to me when things backfire on you. You know, you tend to have a habit of doing so…”

  • Arranged to Diablo Duraturo   Epilogue (Last chapter, until the sequel...)

    “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

  • Arranged to Diablo Duraturo   Chapter 183

    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

  • Arranged to Diablo Duraturo   Chapter 182

    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

  • Arranged to Diablo Duraturo   Chapter 181

    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

  • Arranged to Diablo Duraturo   Chapter 180

    Sienna:I found when I opened my eyes to find myself in a white room.I was your sleep on the hospital bed. And though I still could not remember what happened, I knew that if I was here that either I was shot or something bad happened.This was the 4th time that I've woken up. Only at first, I was alone. This time I knew that I was not. And that fact alone had me aware of my surroundings. I had tried to sit up four times until now. And on each attempt the nurses would stop me. The last time she had put me to sleep. This time it seemed to me that she was no longer here.I looked around the room, trying to find Diablo, only to frown in confusion when I found Natania sitting on the couch. Her eyes met mine and she smiled before she got up. I tried setting up which you gently pushed me back, not allowing me to do so.“What happened?” I asked weakly. My head throbbed and it felt like I was being hit on my forehead with a hammer. I was not going to mention the top of my head, which felt li

  • Arranged to Diablo Duraturo   Chapter 179

    Maria:“Are you sure that you want to do this, Diablo?” I asked, looking at my brother, knowing that he was in conflict. The fact that Sienna was at the hospital was not something that I liked. I did not know who shot her, but I knew that this was something that he had to take care of. It was supposed to be a priority, not Lexi.“We are not going to go back from this, Maria. The number of things that we have to deal with are countless and delaying one thing is not going to help us. At least we might as well get this one done. If we managed to get her, capture her, then things are going to end the way that we want. At least I hope so.” He said, not bothering to look at me.I knew that he had a lot on his mind and that he was thinking of so much. Sienna was someone that he loved. It pained me to know that I was going to be a reason to separate the two of them.The idea of being the person that was to be the one that hurt him was not something that I liked. I was just thankful that he wa
