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

Chapter 183

“I haven’t been honest with you.” Christian suddenly confessed. My head was spinning as I went through different scenarios in my head. I thought we were done with the lies and betrayal, so I had no idea what he was talking about.

“When I was younger.” Christian began. “I went through something similar as Gina, and just like her, I didn’t have anyone.”

I took a deep breath as I took in his words and could finally relax. I was stressing out over nothing, as

usual.

“I felt scared, alone-I was losing my mind, and I needed help, but no one was there to help me,” Christian explained. I softened my look and felt my heart go weak as I thought about Gina. What had I done?

She seemed scared, alone, and she was clearly losing her mind-but I was obsessed with the idea of getting rid of her and made myself believe otherwise. I was guilty, and listening to Christian’s sob story didn’t make it all that better.

“All everyone told me at that time was that I couldn’t show any tears and that I had to be strong.” He continued his story.

That’s how I felt about Gina.

“We don’t have to discuss this. She’s already gone.” I spoke with a nervous smile on my face. What if the poor girl would do something to herself while I could’ve been there to stop it? How would Christian feel if he knew what kind of monster I was?

“When I saw her in that basement, I felt guilty, and I swear I only wanted to help, and I didn’t want to hurt you, but somehow I did,” Christian spoke. “I’m sorry, I don’t know if I even have the right to apologize- but I’m sorry.”

“Are you drunk? Are you drinking again?” I interrupted him. All of this apologizing made me sick and made me about how I had kicked out a girl who was obviously not doing well because of my own personal issues. If I had just waited for a bit longer, Christian would’ve taken care of it.

“I’m sorry for not listening to you when I should’ve, and I’m sorry I wasn’t there for you when you needed me the most-”

“I kicked her out.” I finally confessed. Hearing him open up to me while I was lying in his face was terrible. and I couldn’t take it anymore, Christian went quiet.

I observed the angry frown on his face and felt my eyes get watery. Was it because I was embarrassed or because I was not in the mood to argue? Was he going to yell at me again?

“W-what?” Christian sighed, exhausted. “Yesterday…I just couldn’t take it anymore, so I went upstairs, and 1 kicked her out.”

“Christian, say something!”

Christian took a deep breath and caressed my cheek with his hand. “I was just so angry. I couldn’t take it anymore.” I continued. “So I told her to leave and that I didn’t want to see her again. I forced her to go, and Enzo knew about it, and I’m pretty sure the nurses did too-”

“I told you I would take care of it once we got back-do you not trust me?” Christian asked.

“I do, I do!” I reassured him. “I do trust you, but I did it before all of that, and I’m so sorry—”

“It’s okay!” Christian smiled. “I’m glad you’re honest with me.”
