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

Chapter 130

“Good morning!” I sang and forced a bright smile on my face as I joined the others at the dining table. Almost the entire family, including Luis, was present, and it was a long time since that happened.

“Good morning. Do you have plans for today?” Luke immediately asked after seeing I was dressed from head to toe. “Just going out.” I smiled as I pulled out Siena’s chair and sat her down.

There was no way in hell that I was going to tell them about my meeting with Christian. Everything was going perfectly fine, and I did not want to ruin it. “Are you okay, Beau?” I asked my brother, who had a smile on his face. Seeing him smile was still a weird concept.

“Fine,” Beau smiled. Luis was in his own world and made his homework. “Is that for today, Luis?” I wondered, but he shook his head. “It’s for next week!”

“Next week!” I gasped. “That’s very good of you!”

It was quiet, and no one interacted with each other. Luke and Lita were eating their food, Luis was doing. his homework, and Carmen was on her phone. What a nice family get together. “Can I talk to you?” Beau asked. “Sure.” I nodded.

“Mom, can you watch Siena for me?” I asked. She frowned her eyebrows and nodded her head without. making any eye contact. The same woman who was supposedly so desperate to get me back was already. tired of me. Even though I still tried to adjust, Beau and I were always different from our other siblings) and shared different views on many things because we did not grow up with them.

I followed Beau to the living room and patiently waited for him to make the first step. He was going to apologize.

“Serena, I’m sorry.” Beau began. “I took out my anger on you, and it was wrong. You’re the last person I want to argue with-”

“I know.” I nodded. “We mostly have each other, so we shouldn’t argue. If something’s bothering you, I want to know so I can fix it.”

Beau pulled me into a hug. “It’s not you.”

“Also, when you see Christian today-I want you to thank him for everything.”

“See, who?” I asked, startled, as I was trying to think of ways to deny his accusations. “I’m your twin. I know what you’re up to.” Beau smirked. He wasn’t angry. He remained highly calm, which was surprising. considering he hated him.

“I’m sorry, I wanted to tell you, but our families are obviously not getting along. I-

“Just tell him I’m grateful.” Beau stopped me from talking. “Tell him that I still want to kill him, but I’m grateful.”

“For?” I frowned. “He didn’t tell you?” Beau asked. “Christian got Isobel’s grandfather so far to turn everything back around.”
