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

Chapter 119

“Serena, you have visitors!” My mom called from downstairs.

“Visitors? Who?” I asked Siena and waited for her to answer back. All she could do was babble and look around, and unfortunately the innocent baby had no idea about the mess we were in.

After hearing Daniela and the remaining musketeers voices, I planned to make a detour, but it was already too late.

“Serena! You haven’t called us at all, so we came to visit you.” Daniela smiled. Now that Christian and I weren’t together, there was no point in being kind to these girls. I was done playing nice, so one slip up. and they would follow in Gina’s footsteps.

I walked down the stairs with Siena in my hands and put a fake smile on my face. “That’s nice of you, all of you.” I smiled at the seven girls, with Daniela, Maddie, and Karina standing at the front.

“I told you, the moment we met you, we’ve claimed you as our sister. If Christian cheated on you, it means he cheated on all of us.” Daniela scoffed. She grabbed Siena from my arms and walked away while the others immediately followed like little chickens.

“Yes, that’s right-your daddy is a cheater, c-h-e-a-t-e-r!” She spoke to Siena, who could only giggle. If she only knew what that meant. “Come on, let’s go to the backyard. It’s way too pretty outside to sit in your Toom the whole day.”

“If you insist.” I smiled and followed the girls outside. Don’t be shy. Tell us everything that happened.” Karina encouraged me.

I took a breath and let out all of my concerns. I was so put on not telling these girls anything and made them out to be demons, but they were the ones who listened to my story without interrupting me-and even though it came out of curiosity, it was still nice to know they cared.

I especially had a lot to say about Maddie, Marcello’s fiancée, but I knew that she was the one behind this, and for that, I was grateful.

“Don’t feel ashamed about the video. Gina had it coming for her-you got her good.” Karina nodded her head as all the other girls agreed.

“I can’t believe he threatened to take away Siena. That’s ridiculous. It’s a good thing you were able to get all of your things.” Daniela pouted at Siena, who leaned against her chest. “Siena is such a sweetheart, and she doesn’t deserve all of this.”

“No, she doesn’t.” I sighed. “Christian and I promised each other to give her a peaceful life, no matter what -but yet here we are.”

“I’m kind of sad. You and Christian were a power couple.” Karina mumbled. “I can’t believe we all used to have a crush on him. I thought he was a sweetheart!”

“He still is.” I defended him. My overall opinion on Christian had not changed. He was still a sweetheart,
