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

Chapter 133

“Serena, have you heard the news?” Lita asked as I walked down the stairs to hear what all this noise was about.

“What?” I asked, still half asleep. “That your brother got engaged and that Isobel is pregnant!” My dad spoke and pulled me in a hug. I suppose the news about Isobel’s dad being in charge again came out.

Beau looked at me and shrugged his shoulders. It was crazy to me how much these people cared about status. They didn’t want her with Beau just because she got disowned, but now that everything got turned back around, there was no problem.

“Wow, that’s amazing!” I played along with an awkward smile on my face. Everyone seemed so happy today, and I knew there was only one person to thank for that, Christian. If he did not help, things would’ve gone a bit different. He was indeed my hero. “Yes, apparently Aldo got his position back.” My dad spoke.

“Where were you yesterday? You were home late.” My dad asked. “Just out with a friend.” I smiled. His curiosity was bothering me and I was not a teenager. What I did and where I was, was my business.

It wasn’t my plan to get home after midnight, but Christian and I had a great time together, and I missed his company.

Who would’ve ever thought that I would miss his stupid semi offensive comments?

“I want to talk with Christian. I heard he had a hand in all of this.” Matteo spoke, tensed. His words worried. me, and I was unsure of what to think. He seemed grateful, but at the same time, I knew he still didn’t want anything to do with him, but it was a great start.

My family forgiving Isobel in a heartbeat because her family got reinstated meant that they could most likely look past Christian and find it in their hearts to forgive him. There was a huge difference between. trying to get your daughter killed and your daughter getting cheated on. It wasn’t even comparable.

“Christian’s amazing, he’s following into uncle Lucio’s footsteps so as expected only he’s able to do something like that.” Carmen smiled, but all she got in returned from my dad was a glare. “That’s the least. he could do after embarrassing the family.” He growled.

So he was still angry.

“Look, ma’am, I found the pictures!” I heard an all-to-familiar voice walk into the kitchen. “Ma’am? It’s mom now!” Lita smiled. Fake.

“Serena!” Isobel spoke and pulled me into a hug. “Hi?” I said, surprised, and returned the hug. A few weeks ago, she couldn’t even look me in the eye.

I forgave her, I was happy for her, and I was glad for Beau, but it wasn’t as if I was waiting to be best friends with her. This was all for Beau.
