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

Chapter 311

Marvin

“Dad, why are we here?” Karina yawned. That’s what I would like to know, and why was Tiago not in his room? My eyes met Victor’s, who had an uncomfortable look on his face. That was unlike him.

“Uh…Lucas-” My dad began.

“I’m your brother.” Lucas cut him off. The room went silent as no one dared to say a word. “Brother?” I held back my laughter. Usually, one was supposed to feel something, but I was way too tired for that. I could not feel any anger, rage, confusion-nothing.

Tiago, on the other hand, looked from Lucas to my dad and stormed out of the office, looking furious.

“Why not? Another brother.” Karina forced a smile.

Surprisingly enough, my dad got up from his chair. “Santiago, get back here!”

“Leave him.” I shrugged, looking at Lucas. Someone as sensitive as Santiago had every right to be angry. He was right for not wanting to listen to this nonsense any longer.

“Marvin, this guy was in charge of interviewing the Castillo’s. He’s a cop!” Victor voiced his opinion. Thanks for stating the obvious. I hadn’t figured that out yet.

“Detective nowadays….actually.” Lucas corrected him. It was not that difficult to read Lucas’ personality, and that was the very reason why I could not give two shits about his presence. Just by one look, I could tell that this guy was not a threat to me.

I had a new brother, and I couldn’t care less.

“Who the fuck cares?” Victor stressed, noticing Lucas wasn’t intimidated by him. I ignored Victor’s rage and focused on my dad.

“Okay?” I began. “So you cheated on mom?”

That was the thing that mattered the most.

“I need him to take a DNA test, of course, just to make sure-but the timeline—”

“So you cheated on mom?” I repeated, not giving him a chance to talk himself out of this. I couldn’t say I was surprised as I had expected nothing less from someone like him. “Marvin it’s complicated-”

“Anyway.” I raised my hand to stop him. “Karina, Cisco is in his room.”

Whatever was going on between him and his new son was between the two of them. I was going to keep myself out of this one. I was going to take Elena and move into my place as planned.

Karina scoffed. “Forget about Cisco. He’s not my priority right now.” She raised her head at Lucas.
