Chapter 104

Christian

“Wait, so you stormed out?” Marc laughed at Christian’s story. The two had met up, and Christian kept him up to date about what happened with the Orlando’s.

“Marc, I’m not stupid-I know what he’s doing, and I don’t know if I’ll be able to take it any longer!” Christian spoke.

“So, where’s Serena now?” Marc wondered. “Where do you think?” Christian rolled his eyes. “She’s with those demons, of course.”

Christian was not fond of Serena’s new friends and appreciated her staying true to herself. He never pushed Serena to hang out with them, and if it was up to him, it wouldn’t be that way.

“Can I ask you a question?” Marc asked. It was something he felt the need to address for a long time but only now got the opportunity to do so. “I want you to close your eyes, and I need you to think for a second.”

“Do you really think you have the right to say which guy Serena can and can’t talk to while you cheated on her and still have your assistant working?” Marc furrowed his eyebrows…

“W-what?” Christian stuttered. “I can’t fire her, my dad-”

“Yes, I know. Lucio likes her, and I know he’ll feel guilty.” Marc cut him off. “But that does not excuse your actions, and you can’t just put another ring around Serena’s finger, treat her like a puppet and ignore the

situation!”

“I can’t tell her, and it’s not only because of Gina.” Christian spoke as he took a deep breath. “Do you know what will happen? I can’t tell her!”

“She threatened to take Siena and leave because of a little disagreement. I can’t tell her. I can’t!” Christian explained. “She’ll never let me see her again.”

Mare had a different opinion and was not afraid to let it known.

“Yes, she will most likely leave you, and you deserve it. Marc chuckled. “Your dad will be sad. The Alfonzo’s might kill you. Beau might cut you in half-and guess what? Serena will stop looking like a fool.”

“Serena is not a fool.” Christian defended her. “No, she’s not-but you’re making her look like one. You claim to hate your assistant, but the two of you seem to be getting along very well for some reason. I mean, you’re visiting her house-

“To drop off papers, stop it.” Christian rolled his eyes. “Papers?” Marc snickered. “And why can’t you let someone else do it, or why can’t she come and get it herself? It’s her job.”

“I don’t like having her in my house.” Christian explained to Marc. He felt terrible for doing this to Serena and felt bothered as Serena, who didn’t have that many true friends, took a liking towards Gina. “I don’t want to break Serena’s heart, and I don’t want Siena to know her daddy as a cheater.”

Marc confirmed. “Okay, out of respect, I’m going to stay out of it- but I want you to think, and I want you to
