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

Chapter 316

Chapter 316

I walked into a completely dark house. Other than the guards on duty, even the maids were asleep, but it was past midnight, so that wasn’t too crazy.

Marvin wasn’t at home, which made the house feel even more empty. Although it was too bad, it wasn’t that difficult to get used to-because my dad and Alex had always been workaholics.

I made my way to my room and took a deep breath as I fell to the bed. Work was not that tiring, but I couldn’t say the same about Rona. The bar was not doing well, and honestly-it would be shocking if the bar would still be standing at the end of the week.

It seemed like rest wasn’t a part of my routine anymore because my next thought went to Marvin. He said he wanted to be honest with me. He asked me to spend the day together-and I still had no idea where all of this was going. Tomorrow would be interesting.

Was he going to confess his feelings?

Was he going to tell me the truth about his family?

Was I crazy for hoping he wouldn’t tell me the truth about his family?

Yes, I wanted Marvin, and after giving it a second thought, I did want to go on a date with him-but I did not want to lie to him.

There was always this small part of me fearing for his reaction. I wasn’t the daughter of a random cop, I was the daughter of a DEA agent. There was no way in hell he was going to accept that.

Why does life have to be so complicated?

I opened my eyes and yawned as my sleep got interrupted by the sound of footsteps near my bed. Who would even make that much noise in the morning?

Startled, I let out a yell as an unknown girl looked right into my eyes. To my surprise, she yelled back- while she was the one in my territory.

“Why are you yelling?” I spoke, confused. “You’re in my room!”

The girl moved her brown strands of hair to the side, allowing me to get a better look at her face.I hadn’t seen her before.”I’m sorry, I’m sorry!” She giggled.

“I’m sorry, who are you?”

She stuck out her hand. “Amelia, at your service!”

“Amelia?”

“Yes.”

“Okay?” I frowned, still confused about what she was doing in my room. “Thanks for introducing yourself,” I spoke awkwardly.

“I’m twenty years old, a Gemini. I can clean your room, fold your clothes, keep you company, carry you on my back, and I’ll even crawl if you want me to.” Amelia gave me a thumbs up.

She seemed to have a lot of energy, which was strange coming from my mouth. Even then, it was nice to have someone in the house who could match my level of energy.

“Where’s Marvin?” I rubbed my eyes and stretched out my arms. If he was not downstairs but at work, because he somehow decided to bail on me-I would kill him.

Amelia gasped. “Oh, big brother?”

“Marvin?” I asked again. Since when did he have another sister? Was she also one of Mario Castillo’s bastards, which I wasn’t aware of?

“Marvin is in the kitchen,” Amelia told me. “He’s waiting for you.”

“Thanks.”

Only now had I noticed the mid-sized box in her hands. “What’s with the box?” I wondered.

“It’s your outfit for your date tonight!”

So it was indeed a date.
