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

Chapter 150

“Come in!” Christian called out after hearing several knocks on the door. Beau entered the office with the same envelope as yesterday in his hands and threw it on the table.

“I know you said you’d handle it, but I tried it again today, and she still isn’t answering the door,” Beau spoke, referring to Gina. “Weird,” Christian commented. “Maybe she’s on vacation? I have no idea.”

“Maybe.” Beau agreed. “Do you know what Serena’s doing?” Christian asked, embarrassed. He felt stupid.

calls an- for asking Beau about her whereabouts, but he had no other choice. “She won’t answer my

“Oh, no.” Beau smiled. “Don’t worry. It’s nothing personal. She didn’t answer mine either, so I called Carmen, and she told me that they’re packing her stuff.”

Those words gave Christian a chance to breathe and gave him the reassurance he needed. Everything was still okay, and she would be moving back soon.

He wasn’t a complete idiot and felt how the mood had switched after their minor disagreement. Serena’s consistent eye-rolls and her early departure were clearly a message, and it was one he understood.

After thinking it through, he felt terrible for the words he said, and all he wanted was to take them back. He couldn’t believe he told Serena that Dario should get over the past, despite knowing everything Serena had been through.

Of course, he felt terrible, but he didn’t want Serena to feel sorry for Dario because he had already expected it to be part of his twisted plan. He wanted people to feel sorry for him.

“Can I ask you something?” Christian asked Beau. “And this time, I want to ask you something as Serena’s brother.”

“Yes, sure.” Beau nodded. “I also don’t understand her at times, but I can try.”

Christian felt as if it was unfair to ask the question, but it was something his mom had warned him about. “Do you think Serena fits this lifestyle?”

Beau gave Christian a sympathetic look and already knew the answer to that question. It was the reason why he planned on taking Serena, right after finding out the truth about her. She was too kind for this world. “You’ve already answered that.” Christian chuckled.

“She’s just so soft and always wants to see the good in everyone, but she never thinks about the consequences.” Christian smiled. “After she left, I got rid of all the security, locks, and whatever I felt was necessary to protect her.” He admitted. “I only had those things for her because I know how unpredictable she can get.”

“So, what are you saying?” Beau asked, confused. “Are you saying that you don’t want to be with my sister?”

“No!” Christian spoke. “I love her, and I want to be with her. I would drop everything to be with her-it’s just that I don’t understand why she always wants to see the good in everyone.”

Christian thought back to the time when he dragged her to Enzo’s house and forced her to listen to his brother’s painful words. Enzo told her that he didn’t felt sorry and that he didn’t care whether she or the baby died-but still, Serena was able to see the good in him. Even Isobel was dating her twin brother, and she was fine with it.
