Christian

“I forgot my shoes.” Luis pouted while Christian buckled him up. “Don’t worry about your shoes.”

Christian felt bad for what he was about to do—but he was desperate to keep Serena and the baby safe,meant Serena not talking to him ever again.

He got into the driver’s seat and sped off. There were only four and a half hours left. If this new plan wouwould’ve all been for nothing. “Where are you taking me?” Luis asked after a while.

“I’m taking you to my place.” Christian lied to Luis, but Luis was much smarter than that. “Your place is thLuis whispered. Christian felt bad and knew that Luis might’ve had an idea of what was about to happenchoice.

“Luis, you know that I would never do anything to hurt you, right?” Christian looked at him for a second.mumbled. “And I know that you are keeping Serena safe.”

“Good,” Christian spoke. “Then you also know that you have to go back to your brother.”

“N-no, I don’t want to!” Luis freaked out and tried to open the locked car door. “Luis, calm down—Vinceyou, I will make sure of it,” Christian reassured him. He had a plan, but for that plan to go through he hadback to his brother—even if it was just for a short while.

“How do you know?” Luis spoke while tears left his eyes. “I’m sure Vince has been looking for you everywbrother is not…well right now, and we’re only making it worse.”

“I can’t go back there—Fabio will kill me for helping Beau.” Luis cried. Christian felt bad for having to cruway—but he could only deal with so much, and Vincenzo wasn’t one of them.

“He won’t, I will talk to your brother and it will just be for a little while—after everything is finished I’ll piplease trust me.” Christian looked at Luis whose face was filled with tears. “Serena was right,” Luis whispelooked out the window.

“No, she wasn’t. I will save the both of you—you just have to trust me.” Christian spoke before he called him on speaker. “Christian?”

“Yes, dad it’s me—so listen. Plans have changed and I need everyone to be ready and we have four hourwith Fabio by today.” Christian nervously spoke. He knew it was dangerous to drop a bomb like this and should’ve called him from the start, but rather late than never.

“I should just die right now.” Lucio sighed in between some curse words. “Dad, listen—you need to collenow, and I need you to send Johnny, Luca and even more backup to Serena, she needs all the security shtold him.

“I’ve already informed security and the others in the guest house—we have four more hours.”

“Christian, what is going on!” Lucio worried. “It’s a long story, and I’ll be there soon—but Fabio might belittle earlier than planned.” Christian tried to play it off with a laugh.

“Christian, I will not move until you tell me what’s going on!” Lucio yelled. “I will, I’ll be there soon—just please.” Christian pleaded. “I’ll be there within an hour, but I need everyone to be ready, dad you have to“Fine!” Lucio growled as he tried to hang up the phone. “Your brother is giving me a fucking heada—“ Hwent quiet.
