Chapter 6

Diablo:

“What the two of you did was not only inappropriate, but you two…”

“You wanted the two of us to be spending time together. I am curious about the reason behind your anger? I was with my wife and she was with me. That is the whole point of this marriage,” I said, stopping my father whose eyes darkened.

Mom’s eyes met mine, and I could swear that she was begging me to stop. She didn’t want things to get more out of hand. But I didn’t care. She knew that I didn’t to begin with. It was the main reason why she knew to be here when he and Nikolay were speaking to us. To my surprise, Nikolay was not even here. Not even Myla bothered to show up for her daughter.

“Anyway, the plane is waiting for the two of you. You are going to be going home, and your life is going to be going back to normal.” Mom said, stopping Arturo, my father, from speaking. He looked at her and she shook her head, silently telling him off. He looked away from her, choosing not to say a word.

“Yes, because being married is going to be normal for me.” I said, and mom shook her head at me as she saw Sienna looking down at her feet as she scoffed.

“I will be leaving you to talk as parents and their son. I’ll be showing myself out of this room as you can speak. My parents are not here, I doubt that my presence is needed.” She said, wanting to head to the door. Arturo stood in front of her, stopping her.

“You are now family, what we are going to be telling Diablo, you will be hearing as his wife.” He said, and she looked away from him. “The two of you are going to be representing this family, and the two of you are going to need to act upon that. If you make a mistake, you are going to find me in front of you. And trust me, you are not going to want me to be the one you face.”

“Yes, because threatening the family’s Capo dei Capi is the wisest thing to be done.” I said, and he glared at me. “Father or not, you know that it is not something to be done.”

“If you are the Capo dei Capi today, it is because I gave up my status to you. I chose to make you who you are, but if you think that I can’t take away what I gave you, you are very wrong, Diablo.” He said, and I frowned. “You two are going to act upon your duties, your families, and ONE mistake you do that would ruin our reputation, I am going to be the one you deal with.”

“If you are done with your threats, Mr. Duraturo, I have a phone call to make.” Sienna said, and he raised an eyebrow at her.

“Your parents, if you aim to call them, have sent you something to your dressing room. The rest of your things are already in the house.” He said, and she raised an eyebrow. “Your father told us that he should be calling you when they arrive to the Estate. They were a little too disappointed by your behavior,”

“The fact that you think that I ONLY have my parents to call amazes me.” She said, and I had to fight back smirking. “You can call me when it is time for us to leave. I’ll be waiting for you in the dressing room.”

She walked past my father, and I watched as he shook his head before he turned his attention to me. His eyes met mine and it was his next question that took me off guard as I knew that he put two and two together.

“Lexi, is her friend,” he said, and I raised an amused eyebrow.

“Maria seems to deliver her messages quickly.” I said, and if he was angry before, he was furious now.

“You are going to end the relationship between the two of you, do you fucking understand me?” He asked, and I shook my head at him. She was my secret, it was something that I was going to be sure of.

“You should look a little more carefully. Because if you think that it was ME who invited her, you are wrong.” I said, wanting to take a step back. “Now, if you want my ‘wife’ to stop seeing her. I would suggest that you give her a proper reason for it. Because I doubt that telling her that she is my girlfriend would be appropriate, would it?”

“Diablo!” Mom snapped, and I shook my head in question.

“I told you, you are going to regret making me marry her the way you did.” I said, and mom looked away from me. “We should be on our way in an hour. I believe that the plane would be waiting for us until then?”

I walked out of the room only to frown when I saw Alonzo in front of me. His eyes met mine and I raised an eyebrow at him. He walked toward me and stopped as he handed me a paper.

“She has the original copy. But I had this printed out before she got the message.” He said, and I frowned. “I figured that you would want to read it…”
