“And how would you know that? Your mom’s puppet and I don’t plan on being one, especially to someone who will be leaving in a few months.” Christian told his dad. "And the relationship is fake— in case you hadn't noticed."“Very well then,” Lucio spoke embarrassed and scratched the back of his neck.
Should I knock, or should I not knock.That was the only thing going through my mind as I paced back and forth through the hallway. Christian’s office was right in front of me and I had seen him go in there, but I remembered Emmanuella's words and her clearly telling me to not bother him when he’s b
Christian stood up from his chair and looked at my tears, unsure whether to comfort me or not. Usually, I would look away embarrassed but I did not care, I wanted him to see how I felt— and it worked because I could see somewhere of regret in his eyes.“Marc told me I put you in an uncomfortable pos
“I'm scared and I don’t want the baby to grow up like I did or like you did...without any family support, so I want to do things right and remain peaceful with both of you, but please understand that this is also new for me.”“And I’m sorry if I’ve ever done something to make you feel like you or t
“Good morning.” Christian smiled and sat down on the opposite side of me. The look on his face scared me— but what had scared me even more, was the fact that he was still at home.“H-hi?” I greeted back. Emmanuella put down a plate in front of him and smiled at both of us. “Going to work late?” She
Maybe if I apologized everything would go back to normal.“I have to go now, but I’ll be back in the evening, to keep my promise.” Christian got up from the chair and gave me a final nod before leaving.“I’m glad you guys are okay.” Emmanuella who was finished cleaning said. We were okay. That was a
“About Christian?” Vincenzo frowned his eyebrows. I felt bad because it seemed as if he had expected me to ask something else, but he was the only one who could give me answers at the moment. “What about him?”“Is he ignoring you because you threw a drink on Francesca?” He asked while my eyes went b
His answers were getting shorter which meant it was time for me to stop getting on his nerves. Not long after we had arrived at the zoo and Luis and I were having the time of our lives while Vincenzo and Beau walked behind us.Luis and I took the time to look at all the animals and had a great time
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
