“Look at you, so that you can pay attention!” Dario commented after his explanation. I was at the Orlando estate, and we met up again.It wasn’t really that I was paying attention, but I prepared myself for what I was about to do. Should I really look through his office? Was Christian crazy? But the
“I’m so clumsy.” I played along with a pout on my face. Dario chuckled and grabbed a napkin from the table, but I stood up and took a step back. “I’ll clean this myself if you don’t mind.” I sighed. “It’s see-through, so...”“Oh, yes, sure—no problem,” Dario muttered and took a step back. “I can bri
Christian’s nothing like him.That was the first thing going through my mind as I took a look at the collection of weapons on the wall.Christian was fearless but cautious. Even though I definitely knew they were there, I had never ever seen weapons in the house. “Why do you have to be crazy? I thou
There was not much I could do at the moment, so I left the office and made my way downstairs. “There you are.” Dario chuckled. “What took you so long? Were you pooping?”Usually, I would laugh at his joke, but I couldn’t do that anymore. I really thought he was a good person, and I felt stupid for t
“Good, but why are you asking?” I wondered. It still wasn’t his business. I bet he expected a lie, but I was giving him the truth he wanted. Just as he had to gain my trust, I had to gain his trust.“I thought maybe we could go out for dinner sometime, just as friends?” Dario suggested. I knew the f
Christian“Dad, are you so excited for the shoot?” Christian smiled. Lucio had been involved in everything, from hiring the photographer to choosing the location and the outfits.Usually, Christian didn’t like the thought of Lucio working harder than he should, but it seemed like his father was enjo
“No, you’re wrong.” Christian sighed. This time he was going to stick up for her. “She’s not walking over me. All of you are doing that.”“Excuse me?” Franco spoke, surprised. “You heard me.” Christian glared. “I appreciate you being here to help—but from now on, I want you and my mom to stay out of
“Just a few months ago, you were all desperately trying to save her—““Not her, Siena. Your daughter is a Lamberti. Serena was carrying a Lamberti. If she were not pregnant, nobody would’ve fought for her, and that’s the harsh truth.”“You disgust me,” Christian spoke. He made a promise with himself
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
