“Neighborhood thug?” I repeated Daniela’s words as I buried my face in my hands. It couldn’t get any worse than that. “They don’t like you anymore, because you put the situation out in the open. They say you’re too dangerous and that you talk too much.”“The funny thing is that no one is talking abo
“I don’t know, guys.” I sighed. Hearing Christian held me back to protect my image and told Gina not to press charges changed many things, but it still hadn’t changed the fact that Christian’s family wanted to take my baby away from me. It was not happening.“Most of our parents told us not to hang
I pulled my hoodie over my head and made my way out of the car to walk to the apartment complex where Gina was staying at. The girls had pulled some strings and went as far as getting me the address.“Serena?” I heard an all-familiar voice before I even got to the door. I took a deep breath and turn
“What is she doing here? Did she come here with you?” Gina asked Johnny, who had stepped aside. He looked back and forth between us while he was trying to find an answer.“Let me make it easier for you. I came here to check up on you.” I told her as I stared at her black eye. I definitely got her go
“Yes, I agree. I actually think both of you should. Anger management and relationship therapy to fix this crap!” Johnny yelled. “My uncle is dying, and he doesn’t even know about what’s going on because everyone has been lying to him. Will all of you take responsibility when he finds out?”“What?” I
“Siena, are you just as scared as I am?” I asked her as I drove through the Lamberti estate. It took me a lot of courage to come here, and I felt guilty for lying to my father.Matteo would’ve never agreed to this, and I knew he would find out at some point, but it I would let him find out when he c
I was scared, and I didn’t want them to take her away from me. If I could, I would’ve pulled Siena from his arms and tell him to play with her from a distance. “I want you to take a perfect look at Christian and his only daughter, and I want you to realize that you can’t do what you’re doing.” Cesca
I clenched my fist and looked down while Christian’s sisters were playing with Siena. “Serena, can we talk in private?” Christian suggested.My eyes moved to Siena as I shook my head and stepped closer. I would not leave her alone with them. They would take her away from me. “Serena, please—my dad i
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
