Sharing My Don Boyfriend With His Ex? I'd Rather Be Single
On Christmas night, I've roasted a whole turkey and paired it with the finest red wine. Then, I quietly wait for my boyfriend, Don Carlo Carlione from the Carlione family, to come home to me.
When Carlo steps through the front door, he doesn't even spare me a glance. Instead, he throws his blood-stained coat onto the couch and starts undoing his cufflinks.
"Something important is going on at the family HQ tonight, so I can't celebrate Christmas with you tonight."
He sounds very casual, as though he's talking about the weather.
I don't respond to him at all. Instead, I just slice my turkey quietly.
Later on at 1:00 am, Carlo's ex-girlfriend, Lucia Caruso, uploads a social media post right on time.
In the photo, she can be seen resting her head against Carlo's shoulder. The background shows a night sky filled with fireworks overcasting a grand bridge.
The caption reads, "He told me he can always keep me company as long as I say the word."
I don't hurl my phone in a fit of anger, nor do I call Carlo to demand for answers hysterically. Instead, I just leave a like on the post.
30 seconds later, Carlo calls me. For once, his voice is tinged with a hint of alarm.
"This is just a misunderstanding! I'll definitely celebrate next Christmas with you!"
I just shake my head with a soft sigh. "It's a shame that there's no next Christmas for us ever again."
