บททั้งหมดของ Our Promise: Vincenzo Garcia: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

AriaWhen Vince told me I was allowed to join him, I thought it would just be the two of us. Funny enough, that was not the case. He was driving a large truck, and we were stuck in a small space in the front with two other guys.‘I’ll need someone to help me unload these boxes, and I can’t possibly put my wife to work.’ Vince came up with the perfect solution to his problem. Yes, I was his problem, and he didn’t want to be alone with me.At least, that’s what I thought—but strangely enough, he appeared to be in a good mood and smiled a lot.“I’m really glad you could join us, boss.” One of the boys who had practically been hanging over my shoulders said for the tenth time.“I told you to call me Aria.” I reminded him. “I’m not much older than you, so don’t make me look old.”“In that case, you can call me AJ.”“Yes, I know.” It felt like our conversations were going in a loop, and I didn’t know how to end it. A reminder that after today, I would not tag along anymore.“The two of you

Vincenzo•Fabio High School Diary 2~This week has been a disaster.On my way home from school, I got stalked by the transfer student. I’ll call her Snooper.To make matters worse, it turns out she’s my neighbor, and no matter how hard I try, I just can’t run away from her.I thought she was just joking around about marrying me, but her parents are one of the most influential people in town, and if there’s something dad loves even more than his Mustang, it’s money.Please keep me in your prayers!!!I’ll need them!!!•“Well, dad,” I mumbled, closing the book. “Turns out our life isn’t that different after all.”The Snooper figure in his diary reminded me an awful lot of my wife.I would love to have read further, but the loud cries from downstairs stopped me from doing so.Only one person had a baby, and that was none other than Livia. The confusing woman who would one day decide to be friendly, and the other, treat me with a cold shoulder.Having nothing better to do, I went downsta

Vincenzo"I've never disrespected you or your wife, so please don't come in here and disrespect mine either." He had taken it too far."You've never disrespected us?" Christian questioned with a smile. "Then what about you disrespecting our marriage by eyeing her like she's some meal every second, or you trying to kill all of us when you turned full-on maniac and went on a rampage?"The men behind Christian chuckled, and I felt the sting of his words. He could take my feelings for Serena however he wished; I didn't care about that. But everyone knew my past was a sensitive subject, and hearing him of all people bring it up like that was like a knife to my heart.I glanced at Beau, who lowered his head in shame. Even the one who was there at my lowest point stood and watched without putting an end to it.Christian seemed to realize the impact of his words, and his expression softened. "I'm sorry, Vince. I just want my father's necklace back." His words sounded sincere, but the damage h

Vincenzo•Fabio High School Diary 3~I said it would happen, and it did.Yesterday, father told me that after graduation, I was to marry the transfer student—Snooper.I had no say in any of this, and all of it has already been decided. She’s not a good person.Now I don’t feel like writing anymore…•I let out an unexpected sound of laughter, reading through Fabio’s old journal. To think that he had once been just like any other teen, dealing with parental pressure and decision he didn’t want to make, was quite amusing.To think that the same man who hadn’t cracked a laugh with me before his passing, turned out to be such a comedian, made it all even funner.The woman he had mentioned, Snooper, somehow intrigued me, as she reminded me of Aria.Someone who would stop at the cost of nothing, to get her way.As far as I was concerned, Mom was Fabio’s first wife, which made me curious about how that woman was doing at the moment. She had surely dodged a bullet.One I couldn’t avoid.Lite

Aria"And this is why I've decided we need someone for the tech, someone to drive the truck, someone to go over the numbers, and three people—obviously you and me, to go to the auction," I shared my conclusion. I turned to Vince, who was watching me attentively, taking in every word.No words left his mouth."What do you think?" I asked, awaiting his answer."I think your brains must be hurting from planning it all out," Vince joked.I chuckled nervously. Planning did have a way of making my head spin, but I enjoyed doing it. Better yet, I already had my whole life planned out, including this very moment."I think it's a good idea," Vince admitted. "I just don't know where we can find more people from the outside who aren't afraid to work against the Lambertis." He furrowed his brows, deep in thought.I thought about the first person qualified for the job to drive the truck. Angelo.He was trustworthy, on my side, and as a Marino, knew his way around the business.Vince didn’t really
