5 hours“Are you still okay?” Johnny checked up on me for what would’ve been like the tenth time in an hour. “Yes, I’m fine and the baby is fine.” I reassured him.The five hours had almost passed and everyone was tensed. All I could think of was the fact that a few hours from now, Fabio would unfor
“You know Vince, your friend Vince?” He yelled. I closed my eyes and protected my belly with my hands. All I had to do was push the red button and everyone would be safe.“Vince told me to spare everyone—but they’ll all injured and it’ll only be a matter of time before they bleed to death!”Bleed to
As we walked through the hallways I had to face the dozen of injured men who were on the floor because of me, but in a way it reassured me. They were not dead, just injured—and it was all because of Vincenzo.“Hey, you!” Vince called out to a man and grabbed him by his collar. “We’ll take it from he
“Luca, I need you to go back to the safe house and I need you to inform Christian that Serena is with me.” Vince walked towards us and pulled me away from Luca.“W-what, I don’t get it?” Luca spoke as confused as I was.“I will hand her over to Fabio, all he ever wanted is Serena—he’ll put everythin
That man was even capable of scaring Luis who had always been bright and happy and Vince who had always been warm and kind. “How is Luis holding up?”“Fabio doesn’t know about Beau yet so Luis is safe, my dad believes Luis just walked away so he let it go because Luis is not his priority right now,”
4 HOURS“Is this okay?” Vince looked down at the rope wrapped around my wrists with a worried look on his face. “I’m fine, I can take it,” I reassured him.To make Fabio believe he had the upper hand, we had to play our cards right and couldn’t risk anything.“I promise you, you’ll be okay—and I’ll
“I told the Lamberti’s and the Alfonzo’s that they had to give me one of their children, so they could experience what real lost felt like—and they gave me your brother, Beau.” He clenched his fists as he walked a circle around me.“It’s the name my deceased brother gave him, I was going to leave th
“What did you say?” He spat in my face. “I said they’re dead,” I whispered. Fabio pushed me away and burst out laughing as he stepped back to smack Vince’s shoulder. “Do you hear that Vince? Do you hear that?”“It seems to me like Christian has found his equal,” Fabio spoke as he put on some latex g
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
