His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies by C. Tamika

Chapter 96

Book 2 His Promise: Happily Ever After

“Someone save me,” I muttered under my breath as I almost fell asleep from the girls’ conversations. All they did was gossip, gossip-and gossip, while all I wanted was to spend some alone time with my daughter.

“Do you also want to be saved, Siena?” I whispered to the smiling baby in my hands and attacked her with kisses. “Look at you, you’re getting so big” I spoke to her and bounced her around while she giggled.

Four months had passed and a lot had changed. Life was back to being peaceful and Siena was growing bigger by the day. In the beginning, I was definitely a bit nervous and often doubted whether I would be a great mother or not, but until now everything had worked out.

Christian, Siena, and I made the perfect little family and nothing could ever change that.

“Is that the latest collection?” Daniela asked and pointed to Siena’s dress. Unfortunately being Christian’s fiancée also came with the less unfortunate things like these.

Francesca and my mom gave me some advice on how to be a perfect Lamberti without getting in Christian’s way, and this was one of them. Interact and mingle with the wives and daughters of the other families.

Daniela was a Sala, which was not that hard to miss by her personality. She was dominant, liked to boss people around and loved to gossip. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer, were Francesca’s words after she had told me about all of the families.

“Oh, I wouldn’t know-Christian bought it.” I shrugged my shoulders. Trying to manage my new luxurious lifestyle was definitely something I had to work on and if the girls would ask me to name ten brand names on the spot, I most likely couldn’t.

Upon hearing Christian’s name all of the girls turned their heads to listen to the conversation. It was just as Francesca had warned me. The only reason they were even interested in getting to know me was because of Christian.

Everything they did, including inviting me to their daily hangouts was because it was clear that Christian was going to take over anytime soon. Even though Lucio still kept his declining health a secret, it was quite obvious because he had been keeping him busy.

All the girls wanted to gain from this friendship, were some bonus points for their husbands or families.

“It’s like you and Christian have been in the honeymoon phase for months now, you guys are so cute,” Maddie commented Maddie was my brother, Marcello’s fiancée, and somehow very involved in my life.

After noticing that I was still alive and well and that Christian did not ditch me after the baby was born, they were all trying their hardest to cozy up to me.

“Yes, you guys look really cute together.” Karina agreed in a desperate attempt to take over the conversation from the other two as the other girls at the table looked at me as if they were expecting an

answer.

Karina was from another family, and until a few months ago I didn’t even know about he existence, so I was extremely confused why she loved to pretend as if we were close.
