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
“Okay, then I’ll look into it some more,” Beau promised. “It seems like Gina and Enzo are the type of people to run away from their problems.”“It appears to be,” Christian spoke, but his mind said otherwise. Why would someone like Enzo deny a perfect opportunity to reunite with the family and most
“Get in,” Christian ordered me around as usual. He drove all the way over after a simple phone call, and he was not in a good mood. He seemed like the old version of himself.My eyes moved to the gun in the backseat. What was he up to?“Oh hell no, I’m not getting in,” I spoke, shocked. “I don’t kno
“I agree.” I nodded. “Threaten him, tie him up, give him the Enzo treatment—but we need answers. All I want is for all of this to stop.”I gulped at my statement, but it was time for things to change. I couldn’t always remain the same sweet girl who wanted to protect everyone. I had to think about w
“Christian.” Luca glared as he opened the door before his eyes moved towards me. “And Serena.” He smiled. “I heard you got back together with this idiot. Come in.”Luca stepped aside so we could get into the house. “Is anyone else here?” Christian asked. “No, just Johnny,” Luca replied as his eyes s
“Luca, what are they talking about?” Johnny asked. “Who is still alive? I’m a bit lost, so please!”“I don’t know,” Luca whispered. “I don’t have anything to tell you. I don’t know—““Okay.” I sighed, annoyed, and grabbed the gun from Christian’s hand. “Serena, wha—“ Christian spoke, but before he c
Johnny had a confused expression on his face and looked at all of us before he burst out laughing. “This can’t be true. Please tell me this is some kind of April Fools’ prank.”“It’s not,” Luca whispered. Johnny blinked his eyes a few times to process the news, while Christian was seconds away from
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
