“Yes, sure—you can go upstairs.” Marc smiled. “He would love to see her, and he could use a distraction at the moment.”“Great,” I spoke, relieved. “Please stay here and watch the soup. I need you to turn off the stove in five minutes—thank you!” I told Marc and left him behind, flustered as I made
“It’s good to see you, Serena,” Ramiro spoke while Christian interacted with Siena. “I knew the two of you would get back together!”“Right.” I smiled. “I’m actually a bit embarrassed to show my face after everything, but it’s good to see you too.”“How is Vince doing?” I asked Ramiro. He made sure
“You told me you ate sand as a child—we don’t trust you,” Beau commented. “You ate what?” Christian asked, flustered.“I ate nothing, and Beau, stop it!” I complained and filled everyone’s bowls with soup. “It tastes really good, and we’re all going to have a nice dinner, now shut up!” I spoke, irri
I woke up to the sound of giggles and laughter and rubbed my eyes to watch how Christian held Siena in his arms.“What is she doing awake? It’s so early.” I yawned, exhausted and looked at the clock. “6 AM? She should be asleep.”“I’m sorry, did we wake you?” Christian asked, worried. “I’m sorry, I
“So you can’t tell me about what’s in your family warehouse? That’s funny.” I chuckled. He wanted me to be a Lamberti, but he wasn’t willing to share everything. I wondered where that same energy was when he brought me along to save his brother yesterday.“Stop it.” Christian sighed. “I’m doing ever
“R-right,” Christian muttered as he took a deep breath. “You don’t have to worry about that. I definitely learned my lesson.”“Let’s hope so.” I smiled through my pain, but all I could think of was Gina and the way Christian held her in his arms. It bothered me, and there was nothing I could do abou
“Siena, it’s time to see that grumpy, old, annoying, rude—hating grandfather of yours!” I complained as I walked through the Lamberti estate. “And when did you get so heavy?”“Let me help you!” A voice behind me called out. I turned around in surprise and looked at Gio, who grabbed the seat from my
“Grandpa!” Gio greeted him and pulled him into a hug. “You’re still alive.”“Yes, unfortunately.” Franco scoffed while he looked at me. It was still beyond me how much this man disliked me while I hadn’t done a thing, but I was determined to get to the bottom of it.Just as I was determined to get t
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
