This chapter just really broke my heart, I feel so bad for Chris. He trying so hard to show Allegra he loves her and she just keeps playing with his emotions. She's so confused and her confusion is just hurting Chris. It must have been so hard for him to finally confess to her and she just walks away. I don't get her, why get jealous over his friendship with another woman if you dont want him?
Author's Response:
Well said. I got really emotional when I finished writing that chapter. I was hurt just as much as Chris. Being treated like he didn't deserve any response even a rejection if that was the case, did dangerous things to his already low self confidence. He didn't want to tell her till the end and still she broke his heart so badly I don't even know if he'll ever recover from this blow. I totally agree with you Allegra's confusion is ruining everything. But I think we should realise that Allegra still doesn't admit having feelings for Chris. She knows that she's attracted to him and she doesn't mind the sex if feelings are not involved, I guess. We'll see how all this mess will go.

I am so disappointed with Chris. If he loves her, then be a man and tell her. If she says no she cannot return thoses feelings, then move on and be with Isobel. How can he open his mouth to say he loves her and then sleeps with a perfect stranger. Yes his sister had a right to call him on it after what he said at the engagement party, but not to throw the dad issues in his face. He needs to see his therapist, he has no self confidence at all. If I were her I wouldn;t want to be with him anymore. How did he think she would react when he walked in the room?
Author's Response:
Chris hates asking for help. And I agree with you, he lacks self esteem as a result of his father's verbal abuse. Hopefully, he'll get better. And he won't sleep around. He doesn't want to be with Isobel, though. He just needed to loosen up. Thank you for your review.

She loves him, but is too afraid to make that commitment right now. Is it, because she feels like it would be disrespecting her husband or is she afraid of losing him like she lost Blake?
Author's Response:
She's not ready to admit to herself that she loves Chris, I guess. And she doesn't want a relationship because she still loves her husband, and the idea of being with someone else makes her feel like she's cheating. Thank you for reviewing.

Her sister knows it was her and didn't utter a word, I wonder if she will tell her parents. I can't wait till they all are in the same room. His dad is horrible.
Author's Response:
I can't do anything but agree with the fact that his father is utterly and disgustingly horrible.
Reviewer: bayoumomma Signed [Report This]Date: July 23 2012 02:03 am
I'm not mad at Chris. He's a grown man with needs and the woman that he has feelings for keeps him at an emotional distance so he did what he had to do. His sister was acting like he cheated on her moreso than Allegra and she was really foul for what she said. She knows the hurt that Chris carries behind his father so for her to even appear to agree with anything the father says was very childish. Thumbs up to Chris for getting it all nite and half the day long though. Hopefully that will hold him for a while b/c you never know how long it will take before the relationship with Allegra gets physical...or even if it will.
Author's Response:
First thing: thank you for the amazing review. That's exactly what I wanted to come across. Chris is only human and he makes mistakes. He already feels guilty about cheating on his feelings for Allegra, but let's face it, he needed the sex. Kirsten acted like a spoiled child who has a temper tantrum because she didn't obtain what she wanted, and unfotunately she didn't dose her words and thus she managed to almost lose her brother. Who knows if he and Allegra will ever.....but they just might, sooner that you think. Or maybe they might just not have sex at all....

Sd, her husband died so young. Was she afraid to look at him or be with him, because he reminds he of her husband, his eyes for sure. At least she opened up to him, and hopefully this will be the beginning of a beautiful relationship. Dinner should be interesting.
Author's Response:
Thank you for reviewing. Allegra doesn't really want to be with anyone, at least not yet. We'll see how that goes in the future.
Reviewer: bayoumomma Signed [Report This]Date: July 23 2012 01:52 am
Her dad and him are good friends, and she is going by a different name. Blake must have been someone she loved that is now dead. That is why she doesn't want to get close to him or maybe anyone for that matter. She maybe too afraid of losing someone she loves again. Laurence should not be the one to tell him her story, but since he was playing matchmaker he could have at least given him something to work.
Author's Response:
Laurence decided to stay out of it as Chris wanted, so his decision to not share something so intimate about Allegra with Chris is consistent. I think you figured it all out. :D
Reviewer: bayoumomma Signed [Report This]Date: July 23 2012 12:29 am
I don't Chris but I am surprised. I hate that he has giving up on Allegra without telling her how he feels. Kristen just lost mind knowind hiw her fatheer treats Chris that was so wrong. Allegra needs to lose the tude as you two are just friends and Chris doesn't realize that you return his feelings. No you won't have to hook him up as he hooked himself up. Be happy Chris finally got some, could've been you but you're pushing Chris away. Still not feeling Allegra. They both need to put in their big people draws!!
Author's Response:
Kirsten is unbelievable. I just can't get that round my head. I know that I am writing everything but I can feel what Chris is feeling and I know that it won't be easy for him to forgive his sister, but she is his sister after all. Allegra won't probably loose the attitude for a long time as she wants to see Chris as a friend and not something more. She's not even aware of the fact that she has feelings for him, or she knows and doesn't want to admit it. About you not feeling Allegra I can just say that it will get worse in the next 2 chapters, believe me. You'll probably despise her forever or at least for a really long time.

Why did she stop him, I'm confused. It's obvious she has feelings for him, and obviously doesn't know how to react to them. Well maybe she does, but she just did not go through with them.

Laurence needs to let them handle this attraction to each other. I would not have walked into the room with Jake there, and most defitinely would warn Allegra about him.
Author's Response:
I don't think Allegra would listen to anything Chris tells her.
Reviewer: bayoumomma Signed [Report This]Date: July 22 2012 09:09 pm
I loved it. Chris knows Allegra doesn't want him. And she does she is putting him at arms length. This chapter made Chris seem more human. I am saddened by his sister.
Author's Response:
Thank you lots for reviewing.
And I totally agree with you. Chris is a human being with feelings and needs. His sister is just being stupid for not understanding it.
Date: July 22 2012 08:55 pm
Allegra needs to stop, she's feeling him and is just trying not to.
Author's Response:
Yep. She's pretty annoying, isn't she?

Chris, don't give up before you even try despite what your sperm donor thinks you are lovable and a success. You are a success because you are a wonderful human being. I love what you have pulled out of your trick bag making Allegra related to Franceso who loves him as if he were his son. I give this story two thumbs up!!!
Author's Response:
At least he has a father figure. Thank you for encouraging Chris. I'll let him know. Lol.
Thank you for reviewing.

Chris's father is an ass wipe and should die from an heart attack. Why can't he quit? His father ain't worth the heart ache and neither is that company. I now have even more sympathy and empathy for Chris he needs a hug.
Author's Response:
His sperm donor is a massive manipulator. He always uses the mother-card to make Chris do what he wants. And Chris wants to please him. He feels it's his duty to work for the family, and to endure what his father throws his way. Richard Fitzwilliam is his father after all.
*Pride an Pejudice reference! But this Richard is evil. :D

So her husband died from cancer, still doesn't make me like her any better. Chris is hurt just like Allegra was, he was immature he was hurt and had shut down. Laurence was being a pain in the ass instead of being his friend. He has promised to do better. I can't wait to read more.
Author's Response:
Allegra..either you love her or hate her. She seems to hate Chris, but that's far from the truth. She is attracted to him instantly. She just doesn't like the fact that he dared to say that she isn't tempting enough for him, and that she looks barely tolerable. That's a real blow to her self esteem. Since then, I guess she porbably swore to hate Chris for the rest of her life. Little does she know that Chris is an amazing person. :D
Laurence is a real friend. You'll see that as we go along. He's always there for Chris, especially when he needs it the most.
Thank you for reviewing. I really enjoy reading what you think.
