“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
Franco held Siena in the air and kissed her cheek. “Don’t be ridiculous!” He hissed. “It’s not because you’re a woman, everything will go to Siena, and I have no problem with that. It’s what we all want.”“Then what’s the issue?”“You’re doing too much, and it will not only backfire for you but also
Franco finally looked into my eyes and gave me a nod. “I hope you’re right, Serena. Because Christian is this family’s last hope.” He sighed.“Gio is to demanding and not capable of running a business, Enzo is extremely unstable, and I’m not even getting started on all my other children and grandchi
Christian‘I’m besties with your grandpa.’Christian read Serena’s message and opened the picture attached to it. It was a picture of Franco, Serena, and Siena.‘Less pictures, more information!’ Christian send back.“How did you do that.” Christian chuckled to himself as he thought about how far sh
“I’ll go put on something decent and then we can go.” Carmen smiled. “Serena left with Siena, so I don’t have anything to do anyway.”A few minutes after, Christian waited in the car with Beau, who for once disagreed with his decision. “I don’t know whether I want to punch you for the bet you made w
“So we’re going to Dario?” Carmen wondered. “If you told me before, I would’ve paid a bit more attention to my make-up.”“That’s it. I had enough!” Beau called out while Christian drove off. “Let’s throw her out while we still can!”“No, Christian—let’s throw out my brother!” Carmen commented while
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
