All Chapters of His Surrogate Fled, He Never Stopped: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

“How did you get so big already, look at you!” Luna flew into my arms and gave me a tight hug. “Reunited at last!” Faith joined into our hug while we were jumping around like little children.“Look at you living like a princess!” Faith squealed as we walked inside. “Wow!” Luna exclaimed and turned around the hallway to take in every little detail.“Why do I hear that many voices?” Faith asked, referring to the voices which could be heard from the living room. Johnny, Marc, Luca, and Isobel were a loud combination and the four of them made up for eight. “They’re just loud.”“Serena!” Christian called out and walked to the hallway to search for me. After I had run out of his office earlier in the day things had been awkward between us, but for the sake of getting along, we tried to behave as if nothing had happened. It was already embarrassing enough to me, to get rejected like that.“There you are.” He awkwardly spoke when he noticed the girls who had also taken a step back. One of the

“Luca’s comment? What about it.” Christian chuckled.“The comment about your dad and your uncle, it seemed to bother you.” I tried to clear up his mind. He went quiet for a few seconds before he finally started talking.“There’s not much to say— grandpa was supposed to give the entire empire to my uncle, his oldest son— but instead gave it to my dad...it clearly hit a nerve with some of my cousins,” Christian explained. “How old were you when that happened?”Christian had a bothered look on his face as if he was trying to get out of this conversation. “I was six so I can’t remember much— but I remember how everyone had changed when my grandpa retired.”“How come?” I asked.“People started to treat us different, we moved into a bigger house— started living more isolated...my dad had became a cold person,”“And Luca?”“Uncle Carlo was supposed to take over my grandpa— and after that Johnny and Luca but when he retired at the last minute he had changed his mind...uncle Carlo is not reall

“The baby doesn’t want you to go.” I sat on Christian’s suitcase and made sure it could not move an inch.“Sticking to you like honey.” Johnny chucked and tried to push me off. Christian had to leave on a business trip and decided to leave me all alone. A few weeks ago I would’ve jumped up and down, but I became attached to him and felt as if I was saying my goodbyes to my best friend.“I’ll be back before you know it.” He smiled and grabbed both of my hands to pull me away from his suitcase. “You can’t leave for three days. Who will I annoy now?”“Not me.” Christian chuckled. “Don’t worry, I told Luna to keep you company.” Johnny told me.It was interesting to know that he was the one communicating with my friend instead of me, and I couldn’t help but wonder. “So what? Are you guys together?” I asked him.Johnny looked up at me and scoffed before he shook his head. “I don’t do relationships.” He confessed. It had appeared Johnny and Christian were indeed cousins. “Of course you don’t

Christian“It was Isobel Sala and your brother Enzo,” Carlo spoke.“They told me to spread the rumor and threatened me that I should never speak of the truth if I want my family to be safe— they threatened my wife, followed my son to school.” He cried.“Your brother told me to destroy you in every way possible, a-a-and Isobel told me this should end with Fabio putting a bullet through Serena’s head.”Christian was confused by the names he had spoken, and looked at the man to find a small hint of a lie, but couldn’t find anything. Johnny and Luca were just as flustered as he was by those two names. From all people it had to be their own cousin and the one, they trusted the most.“Fabio must already know by now, I’m so sorry.” Carlo cried.“See, that was not that hard.” Christian got up from the floor and was frozen by the news he had gotten. “Please don’t let them hurt me, please,” Carlo asked and grabbed his leg, but Christian’s mind was numb with total shock and disbelief.He slowly

All I ever wanted was a family, and that’s why I took a step back. Christian betrayed me, but I was not ready to let go of that small hope I had in building a family. I was not ready to let go of Christian. “I can’t.” I breathed.“So you’ll continue to live your life as a prisoner?” Beau asked with a disappointed look on his face.Chills left my body upon hearing those words. Prisoner? Did it not go a bit too far? Yes, Christian ordering everyone to report my every move was a bit annoying, him lying to me was unacceptable, but other than that it seemed fine— I’m sure there had to be an explanation for all of this. Everything Christian had done had always been in the baby’s best interest.He lied to me, but that didn’t mean we couldn’t fix this mistake.We had fixed our issues before, and we could do it again.“I’m not a prisoner.” I chuckled in disbelief— but the look on his face told me that he did not find this as funny as I did. “Once you’re in— you’re never fully getting out, you
