Axel leaned on the car as he stared at his phone, he noticed Lily’s location had changed to El Diablo’s base which he found odd. He was sure they had no reason to leave his house.
“We are ready.” Max said as he walked to Axel with Kelly and Nora. Axel turned to them and looked at Nora.
“Nora, you are staying.” Axel said and she raised her brows.
“What? Why?” She asked with a frown.
“Because I said so.” Axel replied. Nora was about to give a response when Max turned to her, he gave her a look and she huffed before walking into Kelly’s house.
“I don’t think we need her anyway. We are just going to his house right?” Kelly asked.
“We are going to his base. They moved.” Axel replied and turned his phone to them.
“Great. It’s three against an army.” Kelly said and Axel looked at her.
“Isn’t there a reason you are an assassin?” Axel asked and she shrugged. They all got into the car and headed for El Diablo’s base.

Lily and El Diablo got to his base, he walked out of the car and pulled Lily roughly towards the building. She kept groaning in pain and struggling with him as he pulled her.
He was so mad that he wouldn’t listen to anything she had to say.
They got in and they met his men gathered around a table, they were having fun.
“Get the fuck up and get ready!” He yelled at them and they all stood up immediately.
“If anyone walks through that door or you see anyone who looks strange, you kill the person.”
He ordered.
“Yes sir!” They chorused.
“No, no. Zach, listen to me!” Lily yelled as he pulled her deeper into the building.
He got to the front of a room and opened the door, he dragged her in. He let go of her, and before she could rush to the door, he closed it and Lily screamed.
She placed her head on the wall as she breathed heavily, she sniffed as she thought about the trap Axel would be walking into. He would get hurt or maybe killed.
She suddenly heard a laugh and she turned to see Anastasia seated at the corner of the room. The room was empty and a little dark.
“Oh my God, you are okay.” Lily said and rushed to her, she bent next to the middle aged lady who was still laughing.
“You foolish girl.” She said as she stopped laughing. Lily paused for a moment and furrowed her brows.
“Huh?”
“You caused all this. You fucking caused all this. He got into your head and you let him stay, you thought you were different and special because you saw the good side of him. You are so wrong my dear. Zach doesn’t love you, neither is he obsessed with you. There were other ladies before you.” Anastasia said and Lily shook her head lightly.
“What? You are lying.”
“Oh, I wish I was. There were so many ladies. I lost count at five.” Anastasia laughed and Lily felt her heart shatter. She felt like a fool. Once again, she was used.
“You should see the look on your face right now. You really think he was a good person? I am his sister, his fucking blood and he has locked me here for weeks, do you think he is human? He fucking tried to kill you. Wake up, girl! El Diablo means the devil, he is evil!” Anastasia yelled at Lily.
She sniffed and blinked back her tears.
“That is not Zach anymore. The Zach I know died many years ago. He manipulates people and you let him get to you too.” Anastasia added.
Lily had a lot to process, a part of her felt Anastasia was lying, she was as evil as her brother. And another part of her wanted to believe her, she knew him so well, and she was his sister after all.
She was confused, what happened between both of them in a few months felt real, she saw the other side of him. He was always happy around her and even if he gets mad, his heart softens at the sight of her. He would always do anything for her.
As Lily was about to speak, she suddenly felt the urge to puke but she held it back. She took a seat on the floor too and leaned her head on the wall with her eyes shut as she tried to calm herself.
“You feel like throwing up?” Anastasia suddenly asked and Lily nodded in response. She stared at Lily for a few seconds before speaking up.
“Well, look at that. You are pregnant.” She said and Lily’s eyes snapped open immediately.
“What?”
“Oh, you have no idea. You are getting a little bit fat, your eyes were so white up close, you looked pale a little and you feel like throwing up.” She explained and Lily felt her heart race.
“I hope it’s not for my brother though. I don’t want to be an aunt. Ugh.” She scoffed.
Lily placed her hand on her chest as tears welled up in her eyes.
“It is not. It’s not Zach’s.” She replied and sniffed as a tear rolled down her eye.
“Oh. I hope your husband believes it’s his.” Anastasia said and Lily sniffed loudly as she tried not to break down. It would have been good news if El Diablo wasn’t in the picture. Axel would find it hard to believe her when she tells him.
Throughout the months she spent with El Diablo, she was on pills and it has been a really long time.
“Lily, Lily. Always acting tough but still so soft. Tch.” Anastasia muttered and rolled her eyes.
They suddenly heard gunshots and Lily froze.
“I guess your husband is here.” She said and Lily exhaled heavily and sniffed. She started to panic as she hoped Axel would be okay.
