Sienna:“I see that you and my brother are getting along well,” Maria said, taking me off guard as she chose to speak to me. The woman has barely said a word to me since I got to the house, and I had to admit, I didn’t expect her to. She wouldn’t even look my way throughout the entire engagement period and didn’t bother approaching me during or even after the wedding. “What is your secret? Because as far as we all know, he wanted nothing to do with you.”“Good morning to you too, Maria.” I said, and she scoffed.“I didn’t come here to say any good mornings, Sienna. The fact that you think that I did is amusing to me, but then again, you never were the type to know the difference between being wanted and…”“I don’t have time to deal with you right now.” I said, and she raised an eyebrow.“Don’t you? I am curious, what do you have to do? We all know that all you will be doing is sitting in that room. No one wants to see the daughter of the enemy roaming around the house freely, looking a

Sienna:“So, you genuinely weren’t allowed to do anything unless they allowed you to?” Diablo asked, and I shook my head.“Not necessarily, not everything. But there are many things where you have to ask permission to be able to do something that is out of the ordinary. And sometimes, most of the times, you are just forced to cope with so much that you are against. Relationships, falling in love, or even sparing a man a chance unless you were allowed to is not an option. They don’t allow it if you tried.” I tried explaining, and he frowned.“And you never chose to rebel?” He asked, making me laugh.“Sometimes, it is less of a headache not to rebel or turn against what is your reality. While yes, it did get annoying after a while and even lonely, but you know, when you know that your life is destined for something, and that whether or not you fall in love, you won’t be with the person you want; being smart says not to do something that would hurt you. I didn’t want to drag a man down fo

Diablo:“The place is beautiful.” Sienna said, looking up at me.I smiled and though I wanted to take her hand in mine, I was sure not to. I didn’t want to send the wrong message, and I knew that she understood that part.“It’s to make up for what happened at the altar.” I said, and she frowned in confusion. “I can see your pain in your eyes despite you not talking about it, and that is why I want to make it up to you.”“Diablo, you didn’t have to…”“I did.” I said, stopping her. “You were in the same situation with me, and to make matters worse, they were your parents. Regardless of what may have happened, and regardless of you believing that they aren’t, the investigation too; I shouldn’t have blamed you for it. The pain of having to deal with even suspecting that is not one that you should have gone through, and for that, I am sorry.”She didn’t say a word for a few seconds, but when she stood on her toes and kissed my cheek, I tensed for a second, feeling the depth of the moment th

Diablo:I watched as Sienna struggled with her dress’s zipper as I walked out of the bathroom, and I couldn’t help but find myself smiling before approaching her.Her eyes meeting mine through the mirror told me that she was hesitant, but when I silently extended my hand to help her, her cheeks reddening made something inside me churn. A feeling of protectiveness that I didn’t think possible, especially not toward a woman like herself, a woman that was still my enemy’s daughter.“You look beautiful.” I said, looking at the royal blue dress that I chose for her. I would have chosen red, but it was far too attractive, and considering that I didn’t know who was coming, I would rather not risk having men staring down at her as if she was to be meat for them to devoir. I didn’t want to end up beating any of them.“Thank you,” she said, trying not t flinch as I gently brushed my finger over her lower back as I tended to the zipper. The goosebumps that rose on her skin made it all the more wo

Diablo:“It was Maria who called me over, Diablo.” Marcus said, and I nodded in understanding, knowing that my sister was playing a game that was ten times bigger than she was. And the problem was, I doubted that she saw or understood that part.“I know, and there is no harm for her calling you over.” I said, choosing to keep my anger at my sister to myself. I still didn’t understand what was wrong with Sienna, but seeing her reaction and my sister walking out a few seconds after she did, I knew that it was not something that she liked. “You said that you had an expansion? What are you planning on doing?”I knew to drag a few conversations, if he had an alley who was helping him, or if he had one of my partners by his side. If that wasn’t the case, then he would be dreaming about this expansion. But first, I needed to know who he was depending on. The wall that he was leaning against was going to be one that I would break. Especially considering the fact that I believe that he can oppo
