Chapter 163

“I feel like you’ve officially lost your mind, Christian.” Beau chuckled. “I don’t know what kind of thing you’re planning, but I’m kindly requesting you to keep my sisters and me out of it.”

“I thought the idea was to scare him away, not to anger him even more. Carmen agreed. “Oh my god, we’ll all end up dead.” Carmen freaked out while she bumped her head against Beau’s shoulder.

“Shouldn’t we stop him?” Christian spoke. Beau was confused by his words but was in no mood to argue with him. It didn’t take him long to figure out that Christian would do whatever Christian wanted to do.

“Whatever you want, Christian. I’ll stay here and watch my sister while you talk to Dario.” Beau told him. Carmen gave him an offended look and smacked his shoulder.

“Hey, why do I have to miss out on the fun?” Carmen pouted. “I thought you guys were bringing me along on a special mission.”

“Yes, a special mission to keep your mouth shut.” Beau rolled his eyes. Christian had enough of the two bickerings back and forth and nudged Carmen. “I’ll be back soon, okay?” He smiled at her. “In the meantime, please be nice to your brother.”

“Yes.” Carmen nodded with a blush on her face. “I’ll stay here. Take all the time you need.”

“Unbelievable,” Beau muttered while Christian removed himself from the two as fast as possible and made his way towards the motel room.

Christian looked down at the small envelope in his hands and placed it inside of his jacket. It was an invitation to his dad’s family photoshoot. It was something he owed Dario, and if all went well, Dario did not have to live in a lie anymore.

“Christian.” Dario greeted him as soon as he opened the door. “Cousin,” Christian spoke back with a forced. smile on his face. Regardless of his feelings, this was not the time to treat him like his enemy.

“So, we’re cousins now?” Dario scoffed. “I have a name. Please use it.”

“I thought we were on the same side now, but fine, Dario.” Christian shrugged as he walked in. “Where is your uncle?”

“Out.” Dario snarled. “He’s known to make the best of every situation and used this time to look at some flowers. Can you believe that?”

Christian chuckled at the thought of Mauro taking this time to take back to his own life, but it didn’t take long before he thought of something else. “He should stay inside. We don’t know what your dad is planning-

“He won’t hurt me,” Dario spoke. “I’m the last memory he has of my mom. He won’t hurt me-even if I betrayed him.”

“Well, there are other ways to hurt you,” Christian muttered. “Anyway, I didn’t come here for that. I came here because I want to talk to you about your dad.”

Dario lowered his head and turned away so he did not have to face Christian. “I need you to tell me everything, how he came back, why he came back-and what he’s planning to do to us.”

“Don’t.” Dario sighed. “I helped you free your brother because I didn’t want anyone to get hurt and because Serena asked me to, but here is where it ends. I don’t want to end up like my brother. Luck”

“Luca is doing fine.” Christian sighed. “Johnny and Marc are watching him the same way your dad watched Enzo and Gina.”
