“I agree,” Franco spoke as he went into deep thoughts. “Maybe we should ask Dario. Maybe he knows.”“No,” Christian decided. It was something that had already crossed his mind, but Dario was just as confused as all of them. “There’s actually a lot he doesn’t know, so I think Berto played it safe and
Christian“You go ahead. I have to make a quick call.” Christian told Dario as the two had finally reached the warehouse.Christian gave Beau the task to help Carmen prepare for the party because he didn’t want to abandon her. A happy Carmen meant a happy Serena, and he did not want to risk anything
“Okay, I have to go now—bye, please give Siena a kiss for me!”“Serena, wait!” Christian spoke. He had never realized how good it actually felt to hear her voice, and he did not want to end the phone call.“Yes?”“Please call me when you land.” Christian requested. He almost felt embarrassed by that
“No.” Christian chuckled as he ignored the terrified tone in Dario’s voice. “He doesn’t know me, but it’ll only be a matter of time before he does.”Christian looked at his phone and saw Franco had sent the list with names of the people who weren’t at the party. There were only two names on the list
Christian“So,” Dario awkwardly spoke. Christian gave Dario a shrug and pointed his head towards the warehouse. “You told me you’d lead the way, so I’ll let you lead the way.”“I wasn’t talking about the way inside,” Dario spoke, irritated. “I was talking about the conversation.”Christian let out a
Christian was confused by the smile on Dario’s face. It didn’t matter whether it was in good or bad times. Dario would never lose that smile. “Do you like your mom?” Dario asked.“W-why am I here?” Kenzo questioned. Dario looked at Kenzo’s shaking hand before he placed his hand on top of it. “You sa
Christian“He promised to make me rich enough, so my mom and I did not have to depend on the family anymore.” He spoke. “But she doesn’t know anything, I promise!”“What’s so wrong about depending on the family?” Dario frowned.“That’s what I would also like to know.” Christian scoffed before Dario
“He won’t do anything if we don’t give him the opportunity,” Christian spoke before he pushed his hand on top of Kenzo’s head. “Listen—““Christian, calm down!” Dario interrupted him. Christian gave Dario a side-eye and focused his attention back on Kenzo. “Listen,” He spoke more calmly this time. “
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
