Beau was on the quiet side, mysterious, and truly only spoke when spoken to—unlike my brothers and even Christian who would often gave their unwanted opinions. “Hey.” Gina greeted him while he gave her a nod back.“You know, from all the Alfonzo’s you’re definitely my favorite.” Christian mentioned.
I covered my mouth and looked down as a giggle escaped from my lips. Beau was so unintentionally rude sometimes, but sometimes it was satisfying. Daniela scoffed and brushed her hair to the side. “Daniela Sala, Isobel’s cousin? Vince’s friend? We met a few times?”“Ah, Isobel—you guys are alike.” Be
“Serena, look—our baby looks so perfect, she looks like you!” Christian ran into the room with a big smile on his face and raised Siena in the air.Tonight was the dinner with the Orlando’s and I was still a bit anxious about whatever Christian had planned. Would he really give Dario a pass?“Latest
“Grocery store girl!” Dario opened his arms and pulled me into a welcoming hug. Instead of being my usual awkward self, I hugged him back and gave him a push against his shoulder.“If I knew who you were, I would’ve never made that promise.” I laughed at him. “What promise?” Christian scoffed. How w
“So, Serena—what did you study?” Dario started his interrogation after eying me for minutes straight. There it was again that question. That same question I could not answer.“I’m a college dropout; the only diploma I have is a high school diploma.” I chuckled and waited for Dario’s reaction.“Do yo
The drive back home was as awkward as the time he brought me home for the first time. “Christian, if you don’t tell me what’s wrong, we can’t fix it.” I finally decided to speak up.He clenched his hands around the steering wheel and gave me an angry look before he focused his attention back onto th
Christian“Wait, so you stormed out?” Marc laughed at Christian’s story. The two had met up, and Christian kept him up to date about what happened with the Orlando’s.“Marc, I’m not stupid—I know what he’s doing, and I don’t know if I’ll be able to take it any longer!” Christian spoke in anger.“So,
“I’ve changed, but is it really for the better?” Christian wondered. “I wasn’t like this. I’ve never been like this.”“There’s nothing wrong with being human, and if you want to be an even better human—you will tell Serena the truth.”“I know,” Christian spoke. “You don’t have to tell me that, I kno
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
