His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

All I ever wanted was a family, and that’s why I took a step back. Christian betrayed me, but I was not reathat small hope I had in building a family. I was not ready to let go of Christian. “I can’t.” I breathed.

“So you’ll continue to live your life as a prisoner?” Beau asked with a disappointed look on his face.

Chills left my body upon hearing those words. Prisoner? Did it not go a bit too far? Yes, Christian orderinreport my every move was a bit annoying, him lying to me was unacceptable, but other than that it seemsure there had to be an explanation for all of this. Everything Christian had done had always been in the interest.

He lied to me, but that didn’t mean we couldn’t fix this mistake.

We had fixed our issues before, and we could do it again.

“I’m not a prisoner.” I chuckled in disbelief— but the look on his face told me that he did not find this as“Once you’re in— you’re never fully getting out, you know that right? The only way is death. Do you thinyou live!”

“Maybe? Fabio let your life!” I yelled back.

“Because I became the scapegoat so our parents could give you a better life. If they knew you would’ve this goddamnit!” Beau roughly grabbed my hand but I pulled it away.

“Let go of me!” I yelled at him. His words hit me hard, the Alfonzo’s had sent me away to save me so I cobetter life and I screwed it up, Beau’s sacrifice had been for nothing. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it like that save you!” Beau tried to grab my hand again, but once again I pulled it away.

“Christian promised to protect me and to let me go once the baby is born if you wait for a bit longer-“

“It was all a lie, wake up Serena please!” Beau told me. “He was never going to let you go and now he isnyou go at all, Fabio knows about your identity and is probably planning to execute the both of you right “Think about it, who would Christian safe? You or his entire family? He does not care about you, after thewill hand you over to Fabio before you even get the chance to blink— and if you don’t watch out he’ll gthe baby away.” Beau said, but I could not trust his words.

That was not Christian.
