“Your type might be guys who are in the mafia, but my isn’t. I had a fun time at his house last week, and that’s it.” She shrugged her shoulders, not noticing that she had just exposed herself. “You were at his house last week?” I opened my mouth.“Let’s talk about something else, you’re annoying me
“So are they going to...”“Kill that person? Who knows, it’s not something you should get involved with anyway— you just sit there and look pretty.” She told me. It was surprising to hear this from her mouth, because she was the one who had originally encouraged me to run as far as I could.“After s
Christian“Nevada sure is beautiful, I would like to live here.” Johnny sighed and stared out of the window. “I bet you do.” Christian chuckled. They were headed to one of the Lamberti casinos.“The women are beautiful too— you know what, I should live here.” Luca continued while Christian tried to
“She’s Matteo’s daughter.” Christian blurted out, not being able to take his cousin's words anymore. Johnny and Luca turned their head in unison to look at their cousin. Christian knew that he had made a big mistake by telling them, but while interrogating the rat they would’ve found out anyway.“Wa
“Serena Reyes, what have you got on her?” Christian knelt and faced the man. “I don’t want to hurt you, just tell me.” He sighed.“I-I d-didn’t mean to spread she is Matteo’s daughter, someone paid me to spread the rumor!” Carlo cried out in fear. Christian let out an irritated yell and paced back a
Christian“It was Isobel Sala and your brother Enzo,” Carlo spoke.“They told me to spread the rumor and threatened me that I should never speak of the truth if I want my family to be safe— they threatened my wife, followed my son to school.” He cried.“Your brother told me to destroy you in every w
“You go home, and you will stay home until one of Lucio’s men contacts you— and you will give them this exact same information. Isobel will try to threaten you into speaking my brother’s name, but don’t even think about it.” Christian warned him one last time.The ride back to the hotel was a quiet
“Why?” Christian asked, nearing the end of his patience. Isobel turned around and tried to read his expression. “What?”“Don’t play this game with me. Why did you betray me...why?” Christian paced back and forth. Isobel who had finally realized what was happening needed some time to process that he
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
