She was a kind, hardworking person who I had spent my lunch breaks with and I was grateful to know that we had the exact same work schedule. The first day of work passed by so quickly that I hadn’t even noticed that we were finished until Olivia asked me how I was going home.“I can give you a ride,
“Here you go, sir.” Mauro carefully spoke and placed the check on the desk while he lowered his head. Unfortunately, everyone had to experience Christian’s worsened temper these past few weeks and was wondering what it could've been.No one knew that all this time guilt had been eating him up. Chris
“It isn’t faith, it’s a coincidence,” Christian spoke, trying to speak some sense into him but Vincenzo shook his head. “That’s not where this story ends.”“My father put me in charge over the factory for a while and I was pissed. But when I went through the applications I saw her name and her face,
“Goodmorning!” Olivia sang while I got into the car. Even yesterday after she had brought me home we had texted the entire night.In the beginning, I felt a bit threatened and thought she was cold, but she was just a cute person who was trying to be my friend. I couldn’t shake off the feeling of me
Thinking about it, of course I knew a Vince, Vincenzo.The other guy who was also there that day stayed behind a few steps. Vincenzo gave me a wink and showed off his perfect smile. “Are you treating her well?” Was the first thing he asked Olivia, and for the first time since we’d met, she seemed a
“W-what are you doing here?” I stammered and walked past him to unlock my door, but he being the person he was had no issue with inviting himself in.Time and time again I had thought of this scenario in my head where he apologized and we would move on with the first plan, but by the look on his fac
“Because you’re doing a good job? You live in an apartment smaller than my patience, you live in a horrible neighborhood and are obviously struggling to make a living for yourself— and jobless too I assume. So how are you any better than I am?” Christian commented.His words hit me like a knife thro
It had been two weeks since Christian stopped by and crazy enough he never stopped sending checks, but like before, I had sent them right back.I was sixteen weeks pregnant and started showing and worked even harder than before because I couldn’t hide for much longer. There was no lie that I was str
Hey everyone,This is the end of Christian and Serena’s story. Thanks for following me on this journey, and please know I’m grateful for all of you.I remember freaking out over reaching 10K views, and somehow we ended up here. (!?) (Hopefully, more to come.)As I’m still new to this publishing styl
“Oh, right.” Stella clapped her hands when the girl finally released a loud cough. “I would like to introduce you to Oscar Morales’ daughter, Aria.” The Morales’ They were new in the city and led by Oscar Morales with the help of his mysterious only daughter, who I had never seen before. Today was
“Out and about.” I sighed, exhausted. “Drunk.” “Where’s your ex-fiancee?” Vince chortled, nudging Beau’s shoulder, and a sigh escaped from my brother’s lips. Not surprisingly, the relationship and engagement between my brother and Isobel didn’t last. All it took for him to break her heart was one
The children ran to their grandma and grabbed her hand. Besides Christian, the kids also listened to their grandma. Who wouldn’t? Cesca could be really scary if she wanted to. “The two of you should hurry as well. We’re all waiting!” “We’ll be there soon. Don’t worry.” Christian nagged his mom, kin
Three Years Later I squeezed the ball gown dress around my body, desperate to see my little bump. Promising to get married within three years while not being pregnant was a stupid thing to do. Especially when I had a husband who was a bit too obsessed with expanding our family as if a three-year-o
“What do you have to say?” I leaned against the railing. Christian reached for something behind his back and showed me a small red box while I was still confused about what was happening. Was he going to propose to me…again? He opened the box, revealing a rose gold diamond ring that suited my tast
“Right!” The woman agreed. “He can’t even take a compliment without doing that weird thing with his—“ “Eyes!” I finished her sentence, laughing. “The blinking thing?” “Yes!” “Wait—how do you know Dario?” The thought had suddenly occurred to me. By the looks of it, she knew him very well. A bit to
Hours had passed, but Christian had yet to move a muscle. Many had either left the graveside in tears or had stepped out to take a breather, but not Christian. “It’s okay to cry, Christian.” I wrapped my arm around him, leaning into his chest. “If you want to yell, bawl—punch someone…I’m here.” I s
“Thank you.” Cesca’s lips trembled in fear at the new nickname I had made up for her. “I appreciate that.” “Now that I know your mother will be in good hands, I can finally be at peace.” Lucio let out a heavy breath. “This is the happiest I’ve been in a while.” Those were the exact words he had sp
