He sighed and pulled my head away so he could stare right into my eyes, as he touched both sides of my cheeks. “I have to send you away for a bit, just until things are safe.” He spoke and observed my face to read my reaction. “It’s just for a few months, I need you and the baby to be safe, and I ca
“I really don’t want to go.” I pouted, refusing to let go of Christian. We were one month further—and just like promised, I would go to a safe house.Christian had a guilty look on his face, and let go of me before he took a step back. “It’s just for a while, Serena.” Emilio jumped in.“It looks lik
“Come on.” He guided me inside as my jaw nearly dropped. It did definitely not appeared to be how I described it. “Not really a shoebox after all?” Christian chuckled and grabbed my hand.“I’ll never let you live in a shoebox, no matter the circumstances—you know that.” He smiled.“Well, my old apar
“That’s a strong and healthy Lamberti,” Ramiro spoke and handed me the sonogram. “Yes, she has a habit of kicking me.” I looked down at the picture with a smile on my face.“Do you think she looks like me?” I asked excitedly and turned around the picture. “Hmm, it seems more like Christian to me.” H
“Don’t get me wrong, if money was not involved—I still would’ve been the—“ Olivia ranted, but I pulled her into a tight hug. “I don’t care, I’m just happy all of you are here!”“Now give us a tour of this shoebox.” Luna walked around as we all followed her. Just as asked, I gave the girls a house to
Christian“No, not at all.”“In that case, I’ll follow your instructions and put myself up for advertisement, since you would’ve done the same.”Those were the only words Christian heard over and over before he opened his eyes, with only one thought going through his mind. What did I do?He reached
“So then I assume you’re just going to keep quiet about this?” He frowned his eyebrows as Gina nodded her head with a bright smile on her face, and unlocked the car door herself. “Lips sealed.” She whispered before closing the door.After making sure she got inside safely, Christian drove off and im
“Back when I was younger and immature, this is different.” “Christian, listen.” Lucio leaned over and grabbed his arm. “When you jump into a relationship too quick...stuff like this happens and you move on and learn from it, but now is not the time.”“Serena is like a daughter to me. I’m disappoint
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
