“Excuse me, miss.” The guard pushed himself in front of me. “You are not allowed to leave.” “Says who?“ “Christian.” It was already past midnight, and I had managed to sneak away, but leaving the mansion was not as easy as I expected it to be. I said my farewells to Christian and Siena, and now
The house seemed big, but the interior was dark, and there were no windows whatsoever. In each corner of the house stood a man with a gun, so escaping would be near impossible. They really thought this through. “Where are we going?” “My dad is expecting you for breakfast, and we’re a minute late.”
Christian‘How could I have let this happen.’Those were the only thoughts going through Christian’s mind. He held Siena in his arms and pushed her against him.“I’ll get her back, Siena…I promise.”Nothing could’ve prepared him for his missing good morning kiss or the letter Serena left him behind.
Christian chuckled. “She’s not your property.” He spoke, confused. “Yes, I let her out of my sight, and for that, I’m sorry—but if you’re willing to accept your parents’ apology for abandoning your siblings, you should accept mine as well.”“What did you say?” Matteo growled, but Christian did not c
What did I do? What was I thinking? Why did I leave not only my daughter but also Christian to play the hero? I closed my eyes and took a breath, calming myself down. I did this for the Lamberti’s and Siena’s future. The only reason why Berto had the nerve to go after the Lamberti's was because F
“My dad?” Luca frowned, offended. “It was Christian.” There was my second fail. We ate in silence as I did not dare to say another word. All my words would somehow turn to the Lambertis or Christian, so I decided to play it safe. “You don’t want to be here, do you?“ Luca suddenly asked. “Of cour
Christian “So what you’re saying is that it’s impossible to get to her now?” Christian balled his fist, taking a breath. Hearing his grandpa’s news about his uncle’s many guards did not fit his perfect plan. He stared at Franco, who had pulled him aside to give him the news as guilt was written a
It took quite some time, but after a while, he heard a loud cough over the phone. “Ah, Chrissie!” He heard Berto’s voice. “I heard you wanted to talk to me?” “Uncle.” Christian felt a lump in his throat. He had so much on his mind, but his lips wouldn’t allow him to speak. “Did you call to thank m
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
