I was pretty shocked after hearing Christian’s story. Who would’ve thought that Berto was in on everything? I knew Christian most likely blamed himself, but this sounded like something which could not have been prevented. The thing which shocked me the most was Johnny’s decision to sacrifice my sib
“I know you just came back, but I have a lot I have to do tomorrow—“ “And I’ll do it with you.” I decided. I knew what he was thinking, but it was not going to happen. He was not going to lock me up in some safe house. “I told you we’re a team, remember.” Christian seemed shocked by my words and g
“So is your brother, and someone needs to free him—I mean, the poor guy is stuck, and it’s all because she’s pregnant.” “Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?” I mumbled. Wasn’t that how Christian felt at one point? “No, it doesn’t.” Christian shook his head. “Your pregnancy allowed me to get to know the r
“Serena, he’s my cousin,” Christian spoke in disbelief. “I understand, but Carmen and Luke are Alfonzo’s, and so is Siena...they’re my siblings, and if he was ready to sacrifice them, where do you think that leaves Siena?” Christian froze up and stared at Siena. Perhaps now he would listen. “Peopl
“Siena, are you excited to see grandpa?” Christian kissed her cheek. It was one day before the family shoot, and I had somehow managed to push Christian to talk about Dario’s position with Franco. “Please behave normally around my dad,” Christian requested. “What do you mean?” “I mean that you do
“Come, come!” Lucio opened his arms when we reached the door. Christian handed me Siena and nearly ran into his dad’s embrace. “It looks like even you are replaceable,” I whispered to Siena, who was asleep in my arms. “I missed you. I thought you didn’t want to see me.” Lucio complained before he k
“You see, Serena.” Cesca began as she walked towards me. “I think you’re trying to ruin this family, and you might not do it on purpose...but you’re doing it.” She stated. I took a step back and avoided her gaze. “This will backfire, and do you know why?” Cesca asked, while I shook my head. Even th
Christian “You’re unbelievably stupid if you think that I’ll sit back and do nothing while you’ve been looking at Dario the same way you once looked at my son.” Christian smoked his cigarette and tried to erase that horrible sentence from his thoughts. He had heard it, all of it. He knew Cesca an
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
