Lahat ng Kabanata ng Arranged to Diablo Duraturo: Kabanata 41 - Kabanata 50

Alonzo:“You need to eat.” Sienna said, walking toward me with a sandwich in hand. “It is not the best that we can find, but it is the best that I can get in the hospital. You’ve been standing for hours, and you are going to weaken.”“I’m not hungry, Sienna.” I said, and she smiled.“I wasn’t asking. You have to eat something. Your system needs it, and you know that there is a lot that will find its way with us right now. You are going to need to be at your full strength to be able to cope with it.” She said, looking at me, her eyes softening as she waited for what I was going to tell her. “I know that you are worried and I understand both your fear and pain, but right now…”“It is not fear that I am feeling, Sienna.” I said, stopping him. “We are born into this world knowing that we are going to be dealing with bullshit.”“It is okay to be in pain, then. He is your best friend, and it is only logical for you to fear for his life, but as you said, we are born into this world knowing th

Sienna:“You can leave, Sienna.” Netania said, catching me off guard as she took a seat beside me in the waiting room, looking at Diablo as he slept in that ER room through a glass window that separated us from him. “You have exhausted yourself enough. He doesn’t seem to be waking up, and you are going to need to regain your strength as well.”“I am fine here. I will be staying here, and if I need to doze off, I can just lay my head on the armrest. I want to be by his side if he wakes up.” I said, and she frowned in confusion as she looked at me.“Anyone who sees you would mistaken you for old lovers. You went ahead and donated your blood to him without hesitation, and now this.” She said, looking at her son. “Why the sudden urge to want to be with him? I know that the two of you didn’t want to marry, why do you suddenly want to do this for him?”“I don’t suddenly want to do this for him, Netania. I am his wife, and though yes, I will admit, it is not out of love. The two of us might

Lexi:“Answer the fucking phone, Maria.” I snapped, running my fingers through my hair, fighting back my tears as they threatened to fall from my eyes. I paced around my room, not knowing what else that I could do.It’s been hours since I heard of the accident from Louis, and since then, Maria hasn’t been answering. No matter how many times I called, she did not pick up that fucking phone.“I am curious about who you’ve been calling for the past hour. You’ve been roaming around like crazy holding that shit in front of your ear,” Louis said, entering the room, not bothering to knock on the door, he never did anyway, and I looked away from him.“I am calling Maria.” I said, choosing to be honest. He wasn’t going to believe me anyway, but being honest was the better option. The man would kill me if he caught me lying, that I knew for fact.“The child? You would expect me to believe that you have anything to do with the Duraturo child? Her parents are stricter than any…”“I am not going to

Sienna:“What’s going on?” Netania asked, frowning when she saw me walking out of the room where Diablo was staying. Thankfully, he was out of the ER, but the fact that the first thing he did when he left the room was choose to kick me out scarred me deeply. I didn’t even know his reason, but I didn’t want to care about asking at this point.“Diablo is awake. I am going to get something to drink, he asked me to tell you that he woke up.” I said, choosing not to tell them about their son kicking me out of the room. The last thing that I needed or wanted was to give Maria that satisfaction. Though I knew that she might find out from Diablo, I would rather not have it coming from me.I walked toward the cafeteria, ignoring the pain that I felt in my chest as I stood in line to get myself a cup of coffee. The lack of sleep was getting to me, I had to admit that much, and I knew that the number of things that I had to deal with were not easy.I still couldn’t even reach Lexi. The woman was

Maria:I walked to the cafeteria, knowing to get myself a cup of coffee and sitting there until I was allowed to leave. Or until I was allowed back inside Diablo’s room. Either way, I knew not to do anything stupid.The last thing that I was going to do was leave before a driver came to pick me up. I was already in enough trouble as it was. And knowing that my father was the one who gave me the silent order, I knew that he ONLY ever did that when he was angry, and I was sure that he was more than just angry with me at this point.“If you think of betraying the family for man that you are now calling a husband, and if you think that the Duraturo is going to welcome you as family, then you are wrong. Trust me when I say, that I am going to be sure that you take your last breath before you’re able to process what you a call a marriage being your life.” I heard a man say from behind the door. My heart dropped to my stomach when I saw a man holding a woman, Sienna, by her neck. He had a kni
