Chapter 162

Christian

I’m besties with your grandpa.

Christian read Serena’s message and opened the picture attached to it. It was a picture of Franco, Serena,

and Siena.

‘Less pictures, more information!’ Christian send back.

gone. He “How did you do that.” Christian chuckled to himself as he thought about how far she must’ve felt guilty for using the bet to keep Serena in control, but he knew how she could get it and didn’t want her to do things independently.

After hearing about his uncle and how much he despised the family, Christian regretted his words about wanting her to be more involved. Berto was dangerous and he feared his uncle, but he did not want Serena to be alone and if that was necessary to keep her by his side, so be it.

“I feel like a human again.” Gina smiled as she walked out of the bathroom. Christian put away his phone and immediately got up to face her.

“How are you feeling? Are you still in pain?” He asked, worried. He couldn’t live with the idea of him being responsible for her suffering. All he could think about whenever he looked at her was Serena.

Berto made it clear that his issue was not with Serena, but it did not make anything better. Christian was still afraid of his uncle and didn’t know what else he had planned.

Christian was worried after learning Berto Lamberti was the mastermind behind the Orlando’s and used his own sons as his puppets. What bothered him, even more was his uncle’s determination to find out more information about the warehouse.

He went as far as hurting Gina and Enzo because they could not give him the answers he wanted, but the two agreed on one thing, and that was that Berto Lamberti was not a man to play around with. Enzo even called him more ruthless than Fabio Garcia.

“I’m fine, don’t worry about me.” Gina smiled. “I’ll be back home by tomorrow and-”

“No.” Christian chuckled. “I know you don’t want to face Serena, but you’re not going back like that-calm down.”

“I’m fine!” Gina lied again, but Christian knew better. Just the fact that she trembled whenever she heard Berto’s name was enough to keep her here. According to Christian, she was still terrified and was not ready

to be alone.

“Christian, I can’t stay here,” Gina spoke as she lowered her head. “I’m grateful for your help, but please think about Serena. Do you really think this is fair towards her?”

It was the same thoughts Christian had, but he came to a decision, and that decision was to help Gina. It was not only his decision, but it was also what his dad would’ve told him to do. “You’re still hurt. You’re not going anywhere.” Christian stated.

“And I still have a lot of questions for you.”
