“I know. Thanks for your concern.” I rolled my eyes. “I almost got burned alive while I was pregnant, got my head dumped into a bucket of water for several minutes—so I think I’ll manage,” I told her. “You are not the only one who’s been tied up like a dog!”I stormed out of the room with Christian
I looked out the car and noticed how everything slowly turned green. The ride to the warehouse was not that short, and I could finally understand why Christian wanted to leave early in the morning.“You’re acting like we’re going on a field trip.” Christian laughed at my excitement. Maybe I was, but
“Where are the guns, where are the drugs, where is your vault full of money?” I asked, surprised. “Where’s the action?”Christian and Beau laughed at my questions while I waited for their answers. “You have a lot to learn. Come on.” Christian spoke.I followed him to the back, where there were sever
“Oh, wow.” I gulped, shocked. Why was I even surprised? This was to be expected. “And what happens if they don’t pay you back?”His cousin was just about to answer, but Christian shrugged him off and decided to do it himself. “Nothing much, we just invite them over for a talk so we can come up with
We arrived back home without zero information or knowledge about how to get to the money, and even though Christian appeared to be in a good mood, he also seemed stressed out about it.“If your grandpa gave someone the order, we can just find out and ask the person if they know anything—““He’s dead
“Because he’s your cousin?” I giggled. He seemed genuinely confused and scared, which was something I hadn’t seen that often. “I don’t think he wants to come to the photo shoot,” Christian sulked. “I was just worried about him,” I explained.“Let’s call him now,” Christian suggested and grabbed his
It was quiet on both sides, and I looked at Christian with a sympathetic look on my face. I knew Lucio would be happy to accept Dario and so would Franco, but the reality seemed so harsh. “Anyway, I’ll tell him the news tomorrow and get back to you if that’s okay,” Christian confirmed again.“That’s
“How about you go rest, and I’ll do it?” I forced a smile onto my face, but Christian took a step back and shook his head. “How about you guys go together?” Enzo laughed out loud.“I can’t believe you guys are discussing who is going to change Siena’s diaper.”Christian and I looked at each other wi
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
