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

Chapter 225

Chapter 225

“So, how do I look?” Carmen showed off her dress. It was another boring day in the Alfonso household, with the only one keeping me company being my sister as Siena was asleep.

“Cute.* I touched the ends of her dress. “So what are you doing again?”

“I have a date with Kenzo?” Carmen smiled, proudly. “Christian’s cousin?”

“Ah, Christian’s cousin.” I repeated with a deep sigh. I bet my dad would be happy to hear that since he was so fond of Christian. Note the sarcasm.

“Carmen, he’s a nice kid-but I don’t think that’s very smart,” I told my sister, who shot me a glare. “So what?” She spoke. “You’re the only one allowed to date a Lamberti?”

I shrugged off Carmen’s reaction as my mind went to Christian. Although we were doing great at the moment, being with him was anything but a fairytale that I wouldn’t wish upon anyone. I couldn’t wait to tell him about the pregnancy, but instead, I felt forced to keep my mouth shut so that he could concentrate on his uncle.

“Hey!” Luke entered Carmen’s room. “What’s this thing I’m hearing about you going on a date?”

“She’s dating Christian’s cousin now.” I exposed Carmen, hoping he would speak some sense into her. “Is that true?” Luke looked at Carmen, demanding an answer.

Carmen pouted. “Not dating, we’re just talking!”

“Is there a difference?” I rolled my eyes. Luke folded his arms and released a deep sigh. “I’m not a fan of this idea.” He spoke, frustrated. “This situation is getting on my nerves.”

See, so I wasn’t crazy.

“Luke, don’t worry-he’s a great guy.” Carmen defended her date.

“I know. That’s why this situation is getting on my nerves.” Luke scoffed. “He deserves better than this ugly beast, isn’t that right-Serena?”

Stunned, I took in Luke’s offensive words while Carmen let out a squeal. “I’m going to kill you!” She exclaimed before chasing him out of the room. Although they were pretty violent, their relationship never failed to make me laugh.

I often thought about how things could’ve been if Beau and I had grown up together. Would we be just as close as we were now, or would we be frenemies like Luke and Carmen?

With a smile on my face, I looked down at my stomach. How about Siena and her sibling?

Would they get along well?

“Serena!” My mom called out. “Christian’s here!”

Shocked, I almost jumped up from the bed and rushed from the stairs. Christian? Was something wrong?

I took a quick look in the mirror and fixed my hair. “Serena, come on-you want to hear this, trust me!” My mom yelled.

“Coming!” I made my way into the living room. My mom and Christian stood next to each other with big

smiles on their faces while a thousand thoughts went through my head. What was happening? Did Beau spoil the pregnancy?
