“Marc, look at you!” Christian stepped out of the car to embrace his friend. “Do you all see that?” Marc cmaking all of the men laughed out loud.
Christian had a meeting with Fabio Garcia, to negotiate about Serena—but he kept it a secret because heSerena to stress. He felt bad about keeping this secret from her, but he did not want to worry her with yeburden.
“I’m not ashamed to admit that I missed you—and because you weren’t here I had to summon Luca.” Harm over his shoulder. “Summon?” Marc started laughing. He had been out of town for business for a whhad a lot to catch up on.
“I’m out of town for a while and next thing you know Serena’s secret is out, Isobel is a snake and I jump meeting with Fabio, what’s up with that?” Marc whispered so no one could hear.
The both of them shifted their eyes towards the car door which got opened and watched as Gio and LucChristian was still hurt by Enzo, but he was not planning on betraying him and made his father believe thsome alone time. All this time he had been keeping an eye on Gio while Enzo seemed to be the real prob
The only thing Christian hoped for was that the informant kept his word and had not mentioned Enzo’s Marc.” Lucio gave him a nod. Whenever Lucio was working it almost seemed as if he was a completely dtill the point where even Christian got intimidated but lately the man everyone had once feared, had turn“Christian, you don’t talk—you just sit and listen,” Lucio ordered him, knowing his son was a hot-head anmake matters worse. Christian nodded his head with clenched fists before he lit a cigarette. How could I you won’t let me? Those were the words he wanted to say to his father, but couldn’t.
“Let either dad or Matteo do the talking, just sit there and say…nothing.” Gio patted his little brother’s bamade his way over to Emilio and Matteo who had also arrived, Gio tried to read his brother’s face.
“You really need to stop doing that, just go meditate or something.” Gio pulled the cigarette from betwelips and threw it away, earning himself a glare. “Stops smoking for two months, wants to play counsellor.sighed at him.
“When your girl tells you to stop—you stop, it’s only going to be a matter of time before Serena tells youshrugged his shoulders while Christian rolled his eyes. “The difference is that unlike you I’m not a puppe“You know what, months from now we will look back at this conversation. Now that the two of you are inrelationship a lot will change.” Gio chuckled.
“We’ll see about that.” Christian rolled his eyes.
“Why did you ask me to go on a double date, don’t you want to be alone with her? Why did you even asplace.” Gio asked while Christian scrunched up his nose. “I did, but I’m not ready for that.”
“You look like a teenage boy in love, please.” Gio laughed at his little brother. “Gio, I’m serious—she toldme.” He stressed himself out. He had never even said something like that to his family.

“Do you love her?” Gio asked and looked as Christian had immediately shaken his head. “I care about hemind her loving me, but I don’t know if I love her. We haven’t even known each other for that long.”
“You love the baby, but the baby hasn’t been here for that long—better yet, the baby’s not even here yehis shoulders. “That’s different.” Christian disagreed.
“I don’t know if you realize or not, but everything you have been doing for Serena—including almost bewanting to disown my children, was out of love for Serena.” Gio reminded him.
“But you shouldn’t force yourself to say it back, when the time comes you won’t even think about it.”
Christian listened to his brother’s wise words, and couldn’t imagine that it was the same brother he had A lot had changed.
“It’s time to go in!” Lucio announced.
Everyone followed behind Lucio and Matteo—and walked into the garage. Fabio and Vincenzo were seattable in the center of the room.
For a second Christian’s eyes met with Vince’s but both of them quickly turned away. The two who used in a pod could not stand each other—and it was all because of a resurrected family feud.
“Sit.” Fabio pointed to the chairs around the table. Even though Christian was a fearless person, it was nofor him—and just like everyone else he had also been afraid of Fabio Garcia, but to protect Serena, he hafears to the side.
He looked the man straight in his eyes and sat down in front of him before anyone else got the chance. “business with you?”
“We’re not doing any business together, I came here to tell you to leave Serena and my baby alone—if yonly your life but also your men’s life, you will leave her alone.”
I really like it when you take charge, so always be your own person and take charge, those were Serena’swouldn’t go against it. Maybe Gio was right, Christian thought to himself. Maybe he did love her.
Everyone went quiet for a second until Fabio started laughing and his men followed him. Christian on thecould not laugh and glared at Vince who glared back at him.
“Hmm, so you are capable of being passionate about something. There were rumors that you were…softebut I guess they’re wrong.”
“Fabio, I wish I could say it was nice to see you.” Lucio took over the conversation and glared at Christianhim. All Lucio truly wanted was to take down Fabio, but he knew that many of the families felt bad for Fanot agree to this.
“I wish I could say the same, but this time the both of you have really crossed the line,” Fabio growled. “Igetting lied to. So hearing you bastards gave me one child and send the other one away does not sit righspared you, your other children but this is as far as I go.”
“I won’t let Serena live and put some hybrid baby or whatever the plan is on earth—so both families canme down. Lucio, I promised to make you suffer the same way the two of you made me suffer.” Fabio spoChristian looked over at his dad to see what his next move was going to be.
“You won’t touch my family ever again, I won’t let you!” Matteo lost his patience. Fabio grinned at Matteleaned back in his chair.
“I already gave you my son…and you killed him, what more do you want?” Matteo spoke with a broken e“I’ll give you four months to decide—four months to give me Serena. My son Vincenzo took a liking towspare her—all you have to do is bring her to me.” He smirked as Christian glared at Vincenzo. A few monwouldn’t care, but Serena was his and no one would take her or the baby.
Christian was confused as to why the big Lucio Lamberti who was known to have a temper, bowed downYes, Christian was also scared of Fabio, but he knew that a fight was going to break down one way or ano“As I said, I don’t have any time for this—and since this involves my baby I’m in charge. So now I’m tellinrest…or in four months from now I’ll end up killing all of you.” Christian looked Fabio in his eyes and sawwas starting to feel threatened.
Fabio had expected for the two families to fear him as they had done all those years ago—but Christian’a surprise to him.
“Vince, if you really care for Serena you will stop him—do you really care for her, or were you going to haa dog?” Christian questioned his old friend.
Christian leaned in closer so Vincenzo could hear him and looked into his eyes. “Your mom and your brodead, it happened decades ago and there is nothing you can do to bring them back.” He spat in his faceincluding Fabio Garcia went quiet.
