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

Chapter 305

Elena

“Miss Elena!”

Miss? Who were they calling miss?

The loud knocks on the door terrified me so much, I had nearly slipped myself in the bathroom. I wrapped a towel around my body and ran to the door. Waking up in a new home was still a lot to get used to.

“Yes, yes I’m here!” I opened the door. The maid in front of me looked from the towel around my body to the wet floor. “Yes,” I cleared my throat.

“Y-yes.” The maid frowned. “We’re ready to serve you your breakfast. Where would you like to eat?”

Did they make me breakfast?

“Where would I like to eat?”

I noticed a slight hint of annoyance in the maid’s eyes, covered with a fake smile. “The dining room, the ballroom, garden-”

“Oh, the backyard will do!” I nodded awkwardly. I was always the one taking care of my dad, but this time someone was actually taking care of me.

“Get dressed…and you can come down whenever you’re ready.”

After the maid had left, I did as told and got dressed. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t hungry because I always was.

I made my way to the hallway, but before I could take another step-another maid was already in front of me.

“Please follow me, miss.”

Without saying another word, I followed the woman through the mansion to the backyard and stared in awe. Marvin hadn’t shown me this spot before. My eyes automatically moved to the large pool, as I had already made plans to make good use out of it.

“Any allergies we should know about?” The maid led me to a set table near the pool. I ran to the table and looked at the several dishes. “No.” I smiled, pulling out a chair. “And it’s a bit too late for that-don’t you think?”

A scoff escaped from the maid’s lips. Yup, they did not like me at all. “Please, enjoy.”

“I will, thank you,” I spoke, unbothered. “And I don’t want to be annoying-but do you know where I can find Marvin?”

“I’ll tell him you’ve been looking for him.”

“Thank you.”

The maid turned away, giving me enough time to admire the food from up close. The table was filled with pancakes, bacon and eggs, and so much more. I grabbed myself a plate, filled it with whatever I could, and began eating.

“Taste good, doesn’t it?” A shadow blocked the sun from my face. The feeling of a sudden hand on my shoulder made me flinch, but before I could react-Victor had revealed himself.

“Hi.” I greeted him, dropping my fork. Victor pulled out a chair and sat down. “Good morning.” He greeted. “Mind if I join you?”
