Chapter 155

“Beau, where’s Christian?”

I returned home with some of my belongings, but I couldn’t find him anywhere.

“He ranted about him not being able to leave the house because of me, and then he just…went to sleep.” Beau shrugged. “He said he needed to find himself some other activity before he would go crazy.”

“He must be having a hard time. That’s so sad.” I sighed. All I wanted was to see him happy again, but it seemed like that would not happen anytime soon. Enzo was gone, and not only his cousin betrayed him but also the uncle he spoke so highly of

“You’ll stay here tomorrow, right?” Beau asked, but I immediately shook my head. “No, Christian needs. me-you know how aggressive he gets when I’m not there to calm him down.”

“Serena,” Beau spoke. “I don’t want you in any danger, and I could never forgive myself if something were to happen to you—”

“It won’t!” I reassured him. I trusted Dario and expected him to do the right thing. I expected him to open the door tomorrow and help out with the vault, and he would do it because he cared for me. He would do it because there was only one way to avoid a bloodbath. We had to get Enzo and Gina out before his uncle returned.

“I’m not going to have this discussion with you because it’s impossible-but please be careful, okay?” Beau pleaded. He had other stuff to worry about, but he always felt the need to protect me. In the beginning, I thought it was cute, mainly because I never had a brother before-but it was slowly starting to get on my

nerves.

“You should go back to Isobel. She’s pregnant. She also needs you.” I told Beau and grabbed his hand to lead him to the door. “I’ll take care of Christian, and you’ll take care of Isobel. Good plan, right?”

“A-are you kicking me out?” Beau asked, confused. I was glad he could take the hint. “Yes, I’ll take care of him-so you can go now, bye, bye!” I spoke as I pushed Beau out the door.

I waited until he got into the car and drove away until I made my way upstairs to look for Christian. I hadn’t been here in a long time, but it felt good to be home.

My hand carefully reached for the doorknob as I tried not to make a single sound. I walked into the bedroom and noticed it had been completely renovated, just as promised.

A smile grew on my face as I walked closer and stared at Christian, who was asleep. He must’ve been so tired and stressed, but I couldn’t see it at the moment.

“Christian!” I whispered as I sat down on the bed and brushed my fingers through his hair. “Wake up!”

Christian fumbled around and slowly opened his eyes to look at me. “Serena, you’re back?” He smiled as he sat up straight. “How is Siena?”

“Smiling as always,” I told him. “Carmen is bringing her over tomorrow.”

Other than Siena’s safety, there was nothing to worry about. She was different from the two of us.

“Good.” Christian smiled. “You must be hungry. Do you want me to make you something?” Christian offered. I would be lying if I would’ve claimed I wasn’t, but it wasn’t about me right now.

“You’re taking too long to answer. Come on, let’s go!” Christian jumped off the bed and grabbed my hand to pull me towards the kitchen. “Tell me, what do you want to eat?”
