“Good.” Christian chuckled. He shot me a slight smile, before he walked off with Siena in his arms and left me behind with Dario. I was waiting for Dario to speak, as he usually began the conversation, but he did nothing. All he could do was stare at me as if we were at a business meeting. “So?” I
Dario opened his mouth for a split second before closing it right after. This was all some stupid game, and he didn’t know what he was talking about. That was it. I could see the regret in his eyes. “You’re right!” I told him. “You’re right, I do like you, and that’s why you can’t do this to me. Yo
It wasn’t long before I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned around to face him. I could read the worry all over Christian’s face and felt guilty for ruining his day. “Serena, what’s wrong?” He asked “Who did this to you?” His eyes moved to Beau, who shot him a glare. “What are you looking at me f
Christian “It’s nice to see all of you get along for once.” Lucio smiled at his sons. Everyone was slowly starting to arrive at the venue for the photo shoot, in the dress code Lucio had decided. Gio proudly showed off his new son to Enzo and his dad, while Christian was unable to follow the conve
“Excuse me. There’s something I have to take care of.” Christian took a deep breath as he stepped away from his family, to make his way to Serena. “What are you guys talking about?” Christian interrupted the two. He stuck out his hand to take Siena from Serena’s hand, but she turned away with a sli
The room was silent as a grave as we all stared at each other. Beau glared at Johnny while Johnny looked at Luke, Carmen, and his younger cousin, Kenzo—while I couldn’t take my eyes off Dario. I knew he had to be there for the conversation, considering any feud within the family business also invol
“Christian, say something,” I whispered as I slightly nudged his shoulder. “You said he owed them an apology!” Christian seemed uncomfortable, and it was probably because he was in the middle of all of this. “I—“ He sighed with a hopeless expression on his face. “I—“ “Yes?” I furrowed my brow. He
“I’m not telling you to forgive him. I’m telling you to keep it together.” Dario stated. It was not a request, but an order—but it somehow seemed to be working. “Listen!” Dario continued. “After we’ve caught my dad—you can all slaughter each other for all I care—but we’re not going to beat him like
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
