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

Chapter 203

“Carmen, Luke?”

Christian stared at the two terrified children in front of him and lowered his gun. He was just as terrified and did not have the nerve to look at his uncle.

The only thing he could see was an army of men and the same boy Carmen had been dancing with the entire night. Logan. It had turned out Beau was right not to trust him after all. Christian’s worst nightmare became a reality. Berto had connections in every corner.

He had already built his empire, and he had done it behind everyone’s, including Dario’s back.

“I knew I couldn’t trust Kenzo.” Berto sighed. “And you should also know that I’m not that easy to fool, Chrissie.”

Logan chuckled and squeezed his hand into Carmen’s waist as the warehouse was filled with heartbreaking whimpers. “I know what to do, sir.”

“Get your fucking hands off, my sister!” Luke smacked Logan’s hand. One of the men from behind grabbed him by the back of his neck. “Luke, calm down.” Christian spoke.

“Uncle-

“All of them, including the kids at the party. If you do not give me Luca, their blood will be on your hands.”

Christian’s heart stopped at the idea of the innocent teenagers who were in the house. He was very determined to keep everyone else out of it and did not expect things to turn this way. Neither was he prepared to give up Luca.
