Christian

Christian clenched his fist in anger and made his way to his dad’s office. He did not know whether he waSerena had hung up the phone in his ear or because she had a pretty solid reason to fear him.

No, he wouldn’t hurt her. He did not like hurting people at all and only did so when there was no other wLucio encouraged him to do so, but the thought of hurting Serena or taking away the baby hadn’t even This is all Lucio’s fault, were the thoughts going through his head, and this time he would not bow downinstead fix the situation as he should have from the beginning.

For the first time in a long while Christian stayed at his parents’ place. Francesca had nagged her son abohad been neglecting his own family, leaving him with no choice but to visit. The whole week when he hadaddress the situation his father would eye Francesca as a way of telling him to shut up.

The mention of the situation was enough to cause a shouting match between the two of them which haduncomfortable situation for everyone living on the Lamberti estate. They had no idea why the father andalways been close seemed close to hating one another.

Christian walked over to his dad’s desk and slammed his fists on the table. “Dad, I will take care of both Sbaby and this is not up for debate. I’m telling you out of respect.”

Lucio looked up glaring at his son and stood up to face him. In the past, Lucio had always laughed with tother families about how bold and disrespectful Christian could be and let him go his own way because but only now he began to realize that this was his creation and his mistake for letting his behavior slip.

“Christian, you can’t and I’m not discussing this with you!” Lucio yelled, trying to get through to him.
