His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

I heard laughter coming from downstairs and yawned while I made my way to the kitchen. After hangingVincenzo, Beau and Luis once again— I had returned home and took a long nap.

Isobel was almost sitting on Christian’s lap as the two were laughing together.

He never laughed like that with me.

This was crazy, was I jealous? I shrugged off my thoughts and sat on the opposite side of them. “Hi.” I grfrowned my eyebrows while Christian took his distance from Isobel.

By the look on her face, I could tell that all she wanted was to decline her offer and not leave me alone wput on a fake smile and left the room to go to Emmanuella.

“I’ll be back.” She announced and kissed Christian on his cheek. For someone who was not in a relationsbehaved as if they were together…that was funny.
