His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies
Chapter 2
We had reached the private room and were waiting for further instructions. I didn’t even know what I waI didn’t really have a say in it. This wasn’t supposed to be like this. I should’ve been downstairs, dancing girls.
I looked around me and took in my new surroundings. I had been working here for six months, but I hadthis room before.
It was strictly forbidden and well guarded for a reason. The second floor was for important business meeobvious because the room was full of security. I saw many faces I hadn’t even seen before and knew exacreason. I was never supposed to see them.
“Calm down. You’re shaking.” Faith laughed as she caressed her fingers through my curls.
I hadn’t even noticed how bad I had been shaking until she mentioned it. I took a deep breath and lookelegs while trying to control myself. I didn’t know whether I was freaking out because I was about to see thad been trying to avoid or because I would be in a room with many powerful and dangerous men all at“Just hand them their drinks and snacks, and that’s it. We don’t have to dance or do anything. It’s just asLuna reassured me, but her words only freaked me out even more.

Easy work? It was easier said than done. All I had to do was make sure not to drop anything.
“Come on, girls, let’s go.” A familiar man suddenly spoke. He wore a black suit and seemed tall and tonemoved from his warm tan skin to the gun in his pockets, and I couldn’t help but freeze for a second.
Get it together, Serena. Of course, he had a gun. You knew what you got yourself into.
“Hey, squirrel, aren’t you usually downstairs?” The guy approached me and stepped forward so he couldlook at my face.
I had never officially met this man before, but he knew who I was for some reason. Of course, he knew, thto keep an eye on all girls.
Or maybe he knew who I was because he was always next to Christian, and the two seemed close? No, thWhy would Christian even talk about me?
“Y-yes.” I barely whispered. He gave me a warm smile and placed his hand on my bare shoulder.
