“You’re unbelievably stupid if you think that I’ll sit back and do nothing while you’ve been looking at Dario the same way you once looked at my son.”

Christian smoked his cigarette and tried to erase that horrible sentence from his thoughts. He had heard it, all of it.

He knew Cesca and Serena could not be alone, so he had rushed downstairs to keep an eye on the situation, but what he was not prepared for was his mom’s comment about Dario.

Christian finally knew he wasn’t stupid. Everyone could see it, and so could he, but there was nothing he could do about it. Sharing the business with Dario would be the safest move. While anyone who had no idea that his uncle was still alive at the moment would’ve frowned upon the idea, Christian knew that everyone would eventually come to terms with it,

He believed Serena was right. Berto would return, and there was no need for people to stand behind him if he could show them that he was kind enough to give Berto’s son half of the family business.

“You should stop smoking!” Dario shouted from afar. Christian looked up at his cousin, who made his way over and smiled forcefully. Did he like him? That was a question to which Christian didn’t even have the

answer to.

He liked Dario, but he didn’t like the idea of Dario. He wanted him because he needed him, he needed him to beat his uncle, and he liked his way of thinking. The only thing which was stopping Christian from completely accepting him was Serena.

He had been so worried whether Serena’s love was sincere, and each time he doubted himself, Serena proved him wrong. Christian threw away the cigarette and smiled at his cousin. “You really need to stop telling me what to do.”

Dario slammed his arm around Christian’s shoulder and ruffled his hand through his hair. “You remind me of the little brother I never had.”

I know, Christian thought. He shared the same feelings. Dario was different from Gio. He was kind, understanding, and reminded Christian of the big brother he never had, but at the same time, that was what scared him the most.
