CATALINA POV

“Catalina, I won't say it's surprising to see you rise from the dead, you are a Reyes” Gabriel walks into the private booth of the club

“And Reyes arefucking stubborn” I point to the seat in front of me

He sends me a short smile, his eyes turning nervously to the door.

“You are safe Gabriel, you can sit down, let’s discuss” I sit up, lifting a brow at him

He nods, “Why a strip club Catalina? I thought you were much more innocent than that. He slides into the seat opposite me

“I heard about your love for them, in fact, I heard about the two secret clubs you have without Alejandro knowing. I also know how much you pull in each week?” I lift a brow at him, my tone threatening

“50k, 80k?” I smirk

He laughs, “I should have guessed you found out something after you accepted my request to see you”

“I can't come into the lion's den without armour can I?” I lift a brow at him

“Now do you want to tell me why you wanted to see me?” I move closer, my posture filled with threats.

“It’s Alejandro, you know I work for him” he looks around the area once more, turning his gaze to me

“That's not new, you survived the move”

“Well, that makes me a part of your key to getting everything back”

“And I know you want everything back” he leans forward adding.

I shook my head, “Nice try Gabriel but I don’t trust you”

“I know and that's why I have a gift for you today, something that screams, I'm with you” he reaches into his pockets.

He pulls out a piece of paper sliding it across the table.

I look up at him and then down at the piece of paper, “What is this?”

He smirks, “Open it, Catalina”

I pick up the paper, unfold it and words appear.

An address?

“Shipping coordinates,” I say out loud, cramming the numbers in my mind immediately

He nods, gripping the piece of paper tightly, he pulls out a lighter and I watch the paper light up with no traces.

“Do what you want with the shipment and when you cause actual havoc, give me a call again, and we will talk properly” he stands up dusting invisible dust from his suit.

I watch him, but I don't give him a reply, he nods and simply leaves with a large smile on his face.

I immediately pull out my phone, my fingers drumming down the coordinates I had seen earlier to Matteo

“Find out who owns this package and when it lands” I send the text right after the coordinate standing up I push the curtains aside but a figure hovers forward.

“Catalina” his deep voice drums in my ears over the loud beat of the music.

“Alejandro” I reply, pushing the curtain aside, my heart thumping in my chest at the sight of him in a dark shirt and slacks.

My guard immediately takes the signal blocking my view from him

“I just want to talk to you Catalina, You don't have to be so stubborn” he moves forward but the guard blocks his view

“You've always knew the Reyes family is filled with stubborn people Alejandro,” my voice comes out as icy, watching his face fall at every word.

“I want to leave” I look up at the guard

He nods, directing me through the side gates.

Hot. burning. Anger that's all I feel when Alejandro’s eyes meet with mine and I won't let my emotions fuck with my plan.

“Get Matteo to meet me at the shipping docks,” I tell the guard sliding into the back seat of the car

“Yes Boss” he kors immediately taking the drive out of this territory.

“The coordinates are real Catalina, where did you get these from?” Matteo's eyes widened, he hands the iPad to me and I turned to him with a smirk.

“Where I got it doesn't matter Matteo, what matters is what I want done to it” I lift a brow at him

“Can you trace what is in that shipment as well, I want to know how loud the tigers can bark” I laugh softly, my tone mocking

“I already got that down, and I will tell you one thing, these are big guns Boss” he shakes his head slightly the dark sea pushing against the wooden docks.

“Literally?” I turn to him with lifted brows.

“Yes Boss, this is a big shipment, what do we do?” he asks, “Divert it? Sell them?” he adds hastily, ready to get his hands on them.

I think through my plan.

I am El Diablo and I have to make my mark

I have to make sure Alejandro understands one thing and one thing only.

I am here for revenge

Not to get back to our marriage

Not to fall in love with him

I am here for revenge

To put him on his knees

I want to make Alejandro bleed

He will give me the entire Cartel Syndicate, even if it's the last thing he does.

I turn to Matteo a smirk playing on my lips,

“Matteo, you have a critical case on your hands, do you want to know what I want you to do to that shipment?”

“Can you guess? I mean think about the possibilities, the instrument we have to begin my plan to bring down Alejandro.” I wave my hands in the air, the tension so strong a knife couldn't cut through it.

“Matteo I need to blast that shipment to the sky, I want Alejandro to smell the smoke of his entire shipment in bits” A deep laugh fills my throat.

I grip his shoulders, my knuckles white, “I want Alejandro to know El Diablo is here,” my voice lowers, threatening, almost frightening.

“I want him to know I am here for him and there's so much I can do to him” I tap his back letting go of him

“Yes Boss” he sends me a salute, turning around to do exactly what I tell him to do.

“Watch out Alejandro, I am here to take my crown back” I smirk walking down the docks.
