Chapter 202

Christian

“Christian, have you listened to a word I just said?” Dario asked. They had finally arrived at the warehouse and all they had to do was wait for Berto. Christian sat next to Beau, while Dario sat next to a terrified

Kenzo

“Everyone is in position, and we’re just waiting for the signal. Kenzo told us Berto would text him.” Dario repeated.

Christian took a deep breath and slowly moved his finger across his phone screen. It was a picture of Serena and Siena, an image that meant a lot to him. Will I ever get to hold them again? Christian thought.

He flinched by the touch of Beau’s hand on his shoulder and blinked a few times. “Yes, I’m sorry”

“Do you already have an answer regarding the other issue?” Dario asked. Christian frowned his eyebrows as he tried to follow up on the conversation. “Sorry, I haven’t heard a single thing.” He confessed.

Dario and Beau gave each other a look before Beau turned his attention towards Christian “You should call Serena,” Beau spoke. “I know you didn’t want any distractions, but hearing her voice could also work as an encouragement.”

Christian chuckled. “I don’t deserve to hear her voice, and besides that, the guards told me she is safe, and that’s the only thing that matters to me at the moment.”

He didn’t want to risk another fight and knew it would only be a matter of time if he were to call her “Beau” Christian began. If something were to happen tonight, he wanted Beau to know how much he appreciated him. I’m sorry for everything.” Christian apologized, but Beau shook his head. “We really don’t have the time for this right now)

“But -”

“No!” Beau stopped hum “Stop being ridiculous and clear your mind I don’t know you like this!” He spoke, disappointed “Keep your head in the game!”

Christian turned around to look at Dario and Kenzo, who had worried looks on their faces. “A-anyway.” Dano spoke “I asked you where you were going to take my dad”

“That’s easy” Christian spoke. “I’ll keep him like a dog, just how he kept my brother like a dog)

“That’s a good plan.” Dario sighed. Christian could hear the anxious tone in his voice and had hoped he wouldn’t end up changing his mind. At the end of the day. Berto was still his dad.

“Don’t worry about it Dario gulped as he read Christian’s mind I told you I’m on your side, so I’m on your side-no matter what

“I know” Christian reassured hum. He once again stared straight ahead and started to rethink his life. He hadn’t even made that much time for his dying father and it was all because he was too obsessed with catching his uncle
