Serena Cesantio
I sat in front of my parents and I waited for them to say whatever inside their mind. They looked at each other and my mom let my dad speak first.
"Serena, me and your mom, as your parents really concern you. We know that it's your choice to have this lifestyle because you're already an adult and I know that you can make your own decision but.. now, we both decided to intervene it." My dad said and I found myself nodding because I think I already went too far.
I think it's time for me to grow up and stop acting like a kid.
"Serena, you need to change. This act of yours is.. very childish." My mom said and I know that she cares for me a lot so I'm not blaming her for saying that to me.
"I know.. I was hurted." I said.
"Caleb right?" My dad asked and I nodded.
"I know that he hurted you but sleeping around is not the answer, Serena." My mom said in a sad tone.
"I.. was.. I was just.. I don't know. I was mad, I think." I said honestly and I heard my dad sighed.
"I know you might hate this but I want to arrange a marriage with you. Ugh.. how do I say this?!" My dad turned to my mom asking for help.
"We're not forcing you to marry this guy but can you do me a favor to get to know this guy because he's a really good and caring guy." My mom said and I know what they meant. They want me to meet good guys so I can be happy instead of sleeping around.
"Okay." I agreed and my parents' eyes widened.
"Really?" My dad asked and I nodded.
"Like really really?" My mom asked again because I bet they both didn't expect me to agree to it easily.
"Yes, mom. So tell me about this guy.. you want me to marry him?"
"I mean.. if you two are good and like each other.. yeah." My dad literally so honest about it.
"His name is Gabriel and he has the same age as your brother. He's a surgeon and he's a really good guy.. as much as I know." My dad said and I nodded.
"I will meet this guy and if I don't like him, can you both not force me to-"
"Of course, darling. We will not force you, your decision will come first in this case." My mom cut me and I nodded. I sighed and I looked at my parents.
"I don't think I.. I can fall in love anymore. I know I was hurted once but.. I just.. I don't really like the feel of having a broken heart. It made me change a lot in every way. I know that.. I'm disgusting right now and.." I was speechless. I'm just broken and I still can't even fix myself.
"That's what I felt when your grandfather was sleeping around too." I turned to the door and found my grandmother smiling at me. She walked into the room and gestured to my parents to go out and leave us both together.
"Hi granny.. since when you're eavesdropping?" I asked and she chuckled as she sat beside me.
"Since your dad asked if Caleb's the one who broke your heart." She said and I heard my parents closed the door.
"Well.. that's right."
"I was mad too when your grandfather slept around with girls and I was done with him at that time. I mean.. not done like completely done because I loved him so much."
"Well.. why don't you just leave him and find another guy?"
"Serena, love is really complicated. It's not as simple as you think and I understand that you don't want to fall in love again because it hurts." She said as she pointed at my heart and I nodded.
"You're an adult now, honey. I know that you're mad and broken but the best revenge for Caleb is to show that you're happy without him. You're capable to be with someone else.. make him regret that he left you just because he's still young. I mean.. Lemiere always that dumb, they will always be dumb in love. They need a big slap in the face for it."
"I know, granny." I said and she smiled.
"I'm not asking to get revenge on Caleb." She said as she shook her head.
"I'm not planning it either because he's still in my circle and taking revenge on him is just.."
"You are right. You're a really wonderful person inside and out, Serena. You're just mad and want something to take over your emotion by sleeping around but please stop it.. I know Cesantio blood is running in you but you're not as idiot as your grandpa.. I know that." That made me laugh a little.
"So.. are you going to try to meet Gabriel?" She asked and I nodded.
"I will, thanks grandma."
"Welcome honey and you know.. if you want me to kick Caleb's ass.. I can." She said proudly and I nodded laughing.
"I know.. I think it's time for me to grow up. I'm 23 almost 24 so.. yeah. I think it's time for a change. Don't you think?" I asked and she nodded.
"I'm sorry for making you worry."
"We love you, Serena, that's why we want you to change." She smiled as she patted my back.
"Thankyou.. and I guess it's time to move on."
"I'm not asking you to fall in love right away or be with someone in a flick. Take your time and enjoy your life. You're still so young so.. have fun but don't screw around." She warned and I nodded.
"That's my girl.. so.. I cooked your favorite mushroom soup and cookies.. how about we go downstairs?" She asked as she put her hand in front of me. I took it and we walked downstairs together enjoying our family time.
Caleb LemiereI looked all of my paperwork and started to sigh big time. I leaned back to my chair and took my phone checking the messages. As usual, it's full with girls asking me for a date or to mess around. Actually I tried to be with other girls, hanging out with them and messing around with them but I always felt like something was wrong.Even though I have a ton of girls lining up for me somehow they never give me what I want. I don't know why at first but seeing Serena again yesterday made me realize what I really want. She was so beautiful and it made me can't take my eyes from her.When I kissed her, it was because I wanted to. I mean I'm not denying that it was just a magnet pulling us and bullshits like that. It was because I want to. I think I kinda miss screwing around with her, that's why I
Serena CesantioI looked at the mirror to check if I still have makeup left on my face. I wiped my face one more time with my makeup remover wipes to make sure that no makeup still attach there. I walked to the toilet and washed up my face. I walked back to my waiting room to change my clothes into a dress because I have an event with my family tonight.I put on a short black halter dress and then I put my new set of makeup on. I hate the weird makeup for the runway earlier so I just decided to erase it and redo it. I put my makeup on and put my high heels on. I sprayed some perfumes on my body and took my clutch with me again.I walked out to the lobby and got into the car. I told my chauffeur to stop at my favorite bakery for a moment because I'm so hungry. I checked my phone and found my mom sent me a pic of tha
Serena Cesantio"This is really good.. I never knew that this place existed in New York." I said as I munched my pizza."I can eat this pizza everyday for the rest of my life." He said and I chuckled. I looked up to the sky and sighed."I miss sitting down like this while eating pizza.""Me too. Been so busy with work and I rarely spend time with my family since they're all busy." Darren said and I couldn't agree more."I know this might sound rude but I notice that Caleb doesn't really like me." He said and I chuckled."Ignore him, he's weird.""Weird but you like him right?" I turned to him and he smirked.
Caleb LemiereI sat inside my car and yes, I acted like a pathetic man earlier. I don't know what got me acting like but I was acting like a mad man. I closed my eyes and sighed.I admitted that I hurted and 2 years passed without any interaction. I guess I still can't find a girl like her to replace her presence. Today, I've realized how hurt she is because of me. She doesn't even want to be in the same place and even breath the same air."It's always been you.. it's always belonged to you, Serena." I know that I really meant it but I guess giving her more space will be the best decision. I took out my phone and dialed my dad's phone number."Hey dad.. where are you?" I asked."Hey buddy, I'm at t
Serena CesantioI have a photoshoot today and my hairstylist is currently doing my hair. I decided to scroll through the news because it's been a long time since I checked what's going on with the world.Politics.. Economy.. Sports and lastly there's a section for us only which is crazy. I clicked on the Gold Lifes section and the first news was 'Where is Caleb Lemiere?', I felt something weird in my heart but I still decided to keep reading the article.The Lemiere have been attending a lot of events lately but there is a question that always pop out from our mind when we see them. Where is Caleb Lemiere? Caleb Lemiere can't be seen since 2 weeks ago and no one knows where he is except his family. We tried to contact the Gold Lifes headquarters to ask about his whereabouts but they never answe
Serena Cesantio5 years later..I stretched my arms up and body to wake me up. I walked to the bathroom and brushed my teeth. I walked back to my bed and played with my phone. Today is the day where the Gold Lifes will officially open a new company so we will have an event in 3 hours.I got up and walked down to have my breakfast. I took my cereal out and my milk from the fridge. I put it in a bowl and started to check on my social media again."Serena?! How can you be here? Go take a shower!" My mom said when she came downstairs."Chill mom..""The brunch is at 11, Serena. It's 9!" My mom and my eyes widen. I finished my cereal and gave the empty plate to
Caleb LemiereLanded on New York 10 minutes ago and I decided to go straight home because I don't want to take too much attention by appearing on a street just because I want my favorite pizza besides my family already waiting for me at home.It's been 5 years since I left. It feels weird to be in New York again to be honest. I looked out the window and I haven't told any of my friends, I just told my dad and being a weird dad he is.. he told my mom right away.My family visited me once in a month so.. they're not completely out of my life but I haven't see others. I miss all of them.I wonder.. how is Serena doing?There's not a day that I've never think about her. She's always on my mind until I can't even look at any oth
Caleb Lemiere"Wow.. a lot of things have changed." I said when I entered the Gold Lifes building. I walked inside and all the employees greeted me. I'm here to have a meeting for the new company because I will be one of the people who take over along with others."Yes, sir. You should check the lounge." My secretary, Henry, said as he pressed the lift button."Will check that later." I said and we walked into the lift. Henry pressed the 19th floor and we went up."Who's the other people who will take this over?""Jace, Serena and Cameron, sir." My body tensed when I heard Serena's name. I gulped nervously and loosen my tie up. When we're arrived at the 19th floor, I walked out and Henry lead me to the meeting room. I asked him to l
