“He gave us a deadline for your head, the deadline is in two months—but we will attack him a month from now.” Johnny casually spoke and stretched his arms. “Everyone is keeping it a secret from you because you’re pregnant, but because of that very reason I thought you should know.”“Thanks, despite
“Are you god?” I looked at Johnny, waiting for an answer. “N-no I never said that.” He stuttered, trying to defend himself. “God, you sound like Christian.”“Christian told me how you and Luca lost your father and here you are telling me you are all planning to execute an entire family?” I continued
“So, tell me—what do you think?” I asked the girls as they all stared down at their plates. “I think we can all agree that you really can’t cook.” Luna spat out the food back onto her plate with a dirty look on her face.“My God, I’m hopeless.” I sighed and slammed my head against the table. “I can’
“Aren’t you going to introduce me to your two friends?” He looked at Faith and Olivia. That’s right, they hadn’t officially met yet.“This is my...dad.” I hesitated to let out the last word. Calling him by his name had become something usual to me, but there was no other way to introduce him. The pr
He had already made so much progress. The walls were painted in the glitter paint I wanted and the room was filled with furniture. “I even organized her closet.” He spoke with a proud look on his face. It had turned out he had bought even more stuff. There were probably enough diapers to last for at
“Do you feel accomplished by embarrassing me?” I turned around and asked Luna.“Yes.” She smiled back. It was evening and Christian and Matteo had already left. While Olivia was helping Faith with her school assignment, Luna and I were watching a movie.“Aren’t you scared?” She suddenly asked. “Scar
“Yes, thank you.” I smiled at her. Over the past weeks, I had made a pact with myself to not let others see my sadness or my tears, so I hid them. In the past, I tended to be an overdramatic immature brat, but so much had changed.I would often rethink the past and how much different it could’ve bee
“Luis!” I whispered as I walked into the completely dark warehouse.Escaping the house was not as hard as I thought it would be because the security was not as tight in the afternoon. Leaving through the garden door which led straight to the path which led to the subway was a piece of cake, but just
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
