Christian“It all started several years ago.” Dario started. “After my mom’s funeral, I saw this man with this mask stalking me, and I told my uncle about it.”“Turns out that man was my dad.” He continued. Christian observed the slight smile on his face and figured Dario must’ve been happy to see h
Christian thought about Serena and wondered if she was able to push his grandpa as far. He knew Franco was known to be a closed book, but he never doubted Serena. She was, after all, the first person he opened up to because she left him no choice. If everything went according to plan, Serena must’ve
Christian looked at Mauro’s face and could sense that Dario still hadn’t shared everything. Why would he? Christian thought. He placed his hand on Dario’s shoulder while Dario looked at him in surprise.“I’m sorry,” Christian spoke. Dario’s eyes widened, and so did Mauro’s.“I’m sorry for what happe
“It’s freezing outside. You shouldn’t dress my baby like this!”Those were the first words that came out of Christian’s mouth as he stepped out of the car and made his way towards us.It appeared we planned it perfectly and came home around the same time. “Stop overreacting. She’s fine!” I told him,
“So you think that doing that will make your uncle reveal himself?” I asked. “Yes,” Christian spoke. “Dario told me to keep doing what I’m doing, so that must mean we’re finally heading somewhere.”“He also told me that my uncle is after the Lamberti warehouse because he has money there—I don’t know
“I’ll become his puppet if that means I get to keep you and Siena safe.” He continued. “If it weren’t Siena’s money, I would’ve fought for it—but I don’t know what will happen when he finds out it’s hers, and I can not forgive myself if something happens to our baby or anyone else we love, neither c
“Jesus.” A voice gasped. Christian and I turned our heads towards the door and saw Carmen with Siena in her hands. Her cheeks were flushed, and she was unsure of what to do. “Carmen,” Christian smiled. “Can I help you with something?”“N-no, you guys go ahead and uh...” Carmen muttered. “I should re
“Hi Beau, bye Beau!” I called out as I ran past my brother. It was almost eight, meaning it was time to leave, and for the first time in a long time, I was up early. It was mainly due to Christian nagging me all morning and literally forcing me out of bed, but somehow I managed to do it.“Hey? Don’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
