“You got me.” I smiled, trying to get out of it. “The past few days I’ve been asking Vernon to keep me updated, but from now on I want us to be honest with each other, so I’m asking you instead.” He explained as if it was going to make me feel better. So as expected Vernon was really loyal and at hi
“Are you sure you want to do this?” Christian asked me one more time when we arrived at the Lamberti estate and I nodded my head, determined to fix whatever there was left to fix.“Good let's go,” Christian said and led me inside the same big mansion as the last time. He placed his hand on my back a
Just by the look on Francesca‘s face it felt as if I had entered a battlefield. Lucio and Enzo were seated next to Francesca and while Lucio and Enzo gave me a nod of acknowledgment Francesca did not.“Serena, please sit!” Lucio guided me to the table while Gio scoffed and walked past me to sit next
I felt my head spin at the comments getting thrown at me and was desperate to leave the room. My hands were getting sweaty, my hearing started to fade and I could not go on for much longer. “Are you alright?” Johnny whispered in my ear and held my back for support while I tried to answer him back.M
While I didn’t even bother, everyone stood up to stop him but Christian looked back and shook his head. “Don’t interfere.”“So this is what you’re going to do?” Gio chuckled, but surprisingly enough he did not fight him off. “Yes, I want you to realize how weak you are— even if you want to, you can
“It’s done, it’s over. Okay?” He spoke annoyed and turned his head to Gianna who was still crying while Francesca tried to shush her. “I’m sorry she had to see this— but if you’d just worked along from the beginning...”“See, now was that so hard?” Christian muttered and walked over to me to grab my
I heard laughter coming from downstairs and yawned while I made my way to the kitchen. After hanging out with Vincenzo, Beau and Luis once again— I had returned home and took a long nap.Isobel was almost sitting on Christian’s lap as the two were laughing together.He never laughed like that with m
“You guys are not done laughing?” Christian spoke in a tone intimidating enough to shut them all up. “Thanks.” I smiled at him. I was trying everything I could to not get any crazy ideas in my head, but when he did charming stuff like this I couldn’t help but melt at his kindness. “No but seriously,
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
