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

Chapter 193

“And that’s how we ended up finding the key!” Dario told Christian. He had stopped by to inform him. about Franco’s plans to transfer the money, while Christian told him his plan to capture Berto.

Christian hadn’t changed his mind and was still determined to stop his uncle tomorrow. He believed it was not too late for him to change.

“You could’ve called me for this,” Christian spoke. “You must be tired. It was not necessary to come all the way here.”

“Oh, but I didn’t come here for you.” Dario laughed. He smiled at Siena, who was seated on Christian’s lap. and grabbed her hand. “I came to see the baby.”

“She’s cute, isn’t she?” Christian spoke proudly. She had been in his arms ever since they had returned, but Christian just couldn’t get enough of her and was not ready to let go of her just yet. “She’s adorable.” Dario smiled. Dario grabbed the baby food from the table and stared at Christian with a questioning look. “Do you want me to feed her?”

“Sure, if you want to.”

Christian observed Siena, who didn’t mind being in Dario’s presence, and thought about Serena. She was, the same. Christian got along well with his cousin, but for some reason, he just couldn’t shake off the bond between Dario and Serena.

“So I guess we should celebrate, don’t you think?” Dario smirked while Christian shook his head. “That’s a good idea, but I don’t drink anymore.”

“You don’t drink?”

“No,” Christian spoke, embarrassed, but Dario didn’t mind. “Neither do 1.”

“Really?” Christian asked, surprised. Dario gave him a nod and focused his attention on Siena. “If you don’t mind me asking, why?” Dario asked Christian.

Christian didn’t want to get into it because he didn’t want to go back to the bad times, but he knew it was necessary to open up. He knew that it was necessary to tell his cousin everything he needed to know.

“I…tend to mess up whenever I drink.” Christian sighed. He had made way too many mistakes and did not want to repeat them. “I hurt my mom and my dad. I hurt Serena multiple times.”

Dario looked into Christian’s eyes and could see the sadness behind them. It made him even more curious about what really went down. Hurt Serena?

“Once I started, I just couldn’t stop, and it got out of control-but I can’t be that type of person anymore.” “What do you meant hurt Serena? Hurt as in-”

“No, never!” Christian clarified. “I would never ever lay my hands on her, ever.”

“Got it.” Dario chuckled, relieved. “Your point got through.”

“I just think there are other ways to handle my pain.” Christian ended. “What’s the deal with you?”

Dario let out a laugh and shrugged his shoulders. “I just don’t like alcohol. Dario laughed while Christian joined
