“W-what?” I stuttered and looked at Dario in surprise. I had a feeling it would be easy, but not this easy, and it almost made me feel bad. He really thought I had the right intentions.“I told you to ask me anything. You brought me here and it obviously means a lot—so I owe it to you.” Dario explai
“What happened then?” I asked. “This other kids who was his best friend and my...brother stopped them. He was more than a leader than the other kid could ever be, and I never forgot about his kindness.”My mind traveled to Christian’s past and the stories he told me about Vince. It suddenly made sen
There was one thing Dario’s mom didn’t have, and that was Christian. He was different and was even prepared to drop his entire family for me. Christian loved me a lot and not even Franco could manipulate him.It was easier said than done, but I could not resent Dario. Not anymore.“I think I underst
“Chri—“ I called out as I ran into the mansion with a big smile on my face, but that smile had disappeared when I opened the door, only to see Christian’s grandpa, Franco.He chuckled at the change in my behavior and grabbed Siena from my arms. “I know you have Siena, but it’s not a playground, is i
“Right,” Beau spoke with a nervous smile on his face. “A-anyway, I went to her apartment, and she wasn’t there. She hasn’t been there for a couple of days.”Of course, she wasn’t. The poor girl must’ve fled out of embarrassment. Everyone knew about her trashy personality. “Don’t worry. I’ll look int
“What?” I frowned. His words didn’t impress me at all. I knew Christian wasn’t perfect and knew he could learn how to be better, but his words were harsh. “Please don’t talk about stuff you don’t understand,” I told him.“I also got bullied, pushed around—made fun of, and it’s not something you get
Christian“Come in!” Christian called out after hearing several knocks on the door. Beau entered the office with the same envelope as yesterday in his hands and threw it on the table.“I know you said you’d handle it, but I tried it again today, and she still isn’t answering the door,” Beau spoke, r
“It’s not you. It’s her.” Beau reassured him. “You know Serena is not the one to back down from questions, so if she really wanted to know, she would’ve asked you.”“I know.” Christian sighed. “And that’s what I liked about her. I didn’t have to answer any questions, which I didn’t have the answers
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
