Christian “Carmen, Luke?” Christian stared at the two terrified children in front of him and lowered his gun. He was just as terrified and did not have the nerve to look at his uncle. The only thing he could see was an army of men and the same boy Carmen had been dancing with the entire night, Lo
A thousandth of thoughts were going to Christian’s head. Johnny was willing to kill Luca and Berto. His father and his brother. He couldn’t help but think that all of this would end if they would’ve just get it over with. He initially didn’t want to touch his uncle, but he started to think that it
Christian No, I’m not that person anymore, Christian thought as he took a deep breath. He was going to prove everyone wrong and he was going to be the person Serena expected him to be. A family man. “Carmen and Luke are just as much my family as you are, and I won’t sacrifice a bunch of children.
“We can just talk about it. There’s no need for all of this.” Christian whispered, but his uncle turned his head and moved his gaze towards Dario. Christian could tell Dario was too afraid and ashamed to look his dad in his eyes as he hadn’t said a single word to him. He betrayed him, and there was
“That’s my Chrissie!” Berto's laughter filled the warehouse. He looked back at the army of men. “I told you he’s unstable. The whole family knows he’s crazy.” Tyler made his way to the center with trembling legs and let go of Carmen and Luke, while Christian let go of Luca. Carmen flew into Christ
Christian Christian leaned against the door frame and stared at Carmen, who was peacefully asleep. It was several hours after the party and as much as he wanted to do it, the traumatic experience was something he could not remove for her. It took a lot of patience, but she was finally asleep. Chri
“So that’s why Dario is suddenly in the picture,” Luke concluded. “I’m so happy that I have three older brothers, so I’ll never have to go through this. Dad will never give me the business, and that’s a good thing.” “Is it?” Christian laughed. Even though he had two older cousins who deserved the p
“I don’t deserve you,” Christian whispered. That was the only thing he could say without a single doubt. “I treated you like shit from the moment you’ve been here, I’ve disrespected you, betrayed you, and you’re still by my side. I don’t deserve you.” “No!” Serena spoke, annoyed. “I know where this
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
