“The truth?” I muttered. It’s what I asked for, so what was the problem? Was it because I didn’t want to hear the truth, or was it because I wasn’t ready to forgive him?“You can tell me the full truth after I’m done eating,” I told him as the food arrived. Christian looked in horror as I accepted t
“But first.” I sighed. “We should come clean about everything so something like this will not happen in the future.”“I’ll start,” Christian spoke as he took a deep breath. “I have four more things to confess.”There was even more to confess?“I moved Gina to an apartment because my dad asked me to
“Christian, stop overreacting.” I sighed. “Dario is actually a really nice person. He kind of reminds me of Vince.”“Vince!?” Christian gasped. “I know we miss him a lot, but not poor Vince. Keep him out of this.” He spoke as I burst out laughing at his reaction. “Please tell me you don’t have feeli
Christian“Mom, I need you and grandpa to cancel the lawyer.” Christian barged in. Francesca frowned at the unexpected sentence. “W-what?”“I’m fine with seeing Siena once a week. Cancel the lawyer.” Christian repeated himself. He couldn’t even believe that he was willing to go that far. After the a
“You’re in a good mood today.” Marc laughed at Christian’s enthusiasm. “I am. Serena is willing to talk to me, and I’m seeing Siena tomorrow—nothing can ruin my day.”“You told me she didn’t want to get back together.” Marc chuckled. “That’s right.” Christian sighed. “But she still loves me. You sho
“Yes, you are.” Christian chuckled as Marc threw the briefcase onto the table. “I know many don’t want to be involved with the Sala’s anymore, and I know you need the money.” Christian sighed before he opened the briefcase full of cash. Juno’s eyes went big as he stared at the stacks of money. “Keep
Christian thought he was a creep and couldn’t believe how he got a pass with this crazy obsession. Dario was always several steps ahead, and Christian didn’t know why. “Whatever he offered you, I can offer you the double of that. Do you want more briefcases? Tell me, and it’s settled.”“Ten,” Juno s
Serena, stay awake.That was all I could think of throughout the entire meeting. It was all for me, so I was supposed to pay attention, but I could only think about my daughter.I didn’t want to take a crying baby to a meeting, so I left her with my mom—but I missed her, and I was going insane. Was
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
