“So is my heart, we can all blame Enzo and Isobel, but he wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for me—so do you mind?” I asked, annoyed. “No, you do you.” Dario laughed and reached to grab my hand. “Matter of fact, I’ll read a verse and I’ll lead the prayer.”I was shocked but went along with him anyway a
“How do you even know? You’re unbelievable.” I chuckled in disbelief. “You’re okay with him making you out to be some kind of fool?” Dario scoffed. “Well yeah, what can I do? We fought about it. What’s done is done.”“Serena, the way he has you wrapped around his finger is so sad. You can do much be
After I got back to my parents' place, I gathered a lot of courage to unlock my phone, but somehow I managed to do it. Lita had told me that Christian reached out to me, and the poor woman seemed so happy, without knowing the real reason.I wasn’t stupid and knew he was probably calling because he k
“I told you I don’t care about her. Serena, are you okay?” Christian asked. He was probably as confused by my calm tone as I was, but getting through to Christian seemed impossible at times—so I wasn’t even going to try it. I had enough. “Listen, don’t do anything stupid. I’ll come over so we can ta
“What! Gina, is this true?” He asked as he dropped his folder bag and took a step back. “Again? Gina, please tell me this isn’t true.”Again?“Does it even matter? We’ve discussed this, and you know what I did—just shut up.” Gina spoke, and just like that, the perfect girl act had vanished entirely.
“What’s wrong with you? Are you crazy?” Christian yelled and grabbed me by the shoulders. “You almost beat her unconscious. Are you sick? What’s wrong with you?“W-wrong with me?” I sobbed. “I didn’t even touch her, she started it, and you’re asking what’s wrong with me?”“Serena, calm down. You can
It was evening, and we were all sitting around the table. Emilio, Marcello, and Maddie had stopped by for dinner, which allowed me to announce the news. Luis stayed with his elder brother so he could be with Vince, which meant I did not have to watch my words. All I had to do was tell them the news.
“It’s the assistant for me. Please tell me you gave her a really good beating?” Maddie spoke for the first time. Maddie being here meant that everyone would know by tomorrow, with or without the video—but I didn’t care. The urge to protect Christian had vanished, and I did not care about his image.
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
