His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 97

“You can start by giving me your number.” The man asked full of confidence. How was I going to break the bad news?

“H-huh?” I gulped with a nervous look on my face before I burst out laughing. “God, no-I think this is all a misunderstanding!”

“Yes, you are a very attractive man and I was obviously staring-but I have a ring on my finger, I have a fiancé and I obviously have a baby.” I laughed and held the baby powder in the air.

“Well, I happen to make a great step daddy and I don’t see a fiancé around here…so..” He spoke and teasingly looked behind me.

“W-what?” I stammered surprised by his reaction. I thought he was going to end it here, but this man just didn’t know how to give up.

“Hey, I’m joking.” He chuckled and nudged my shoulder. “Oh wow, yes of course.” I took a deep breath

and smiled.

“You are obviously a pretty young lady, but if you’re taken, you’re taken.” He shrugged his shoulders. “If I had just came to town a bit earlier.”

“Are you new here?” I asked him out of instinct. It was always a mystery to me why I kept conversations. going while I wasn’t very good at it, but for some reason talking to this stranger came naturally.

“Yes, are you going to give me a city tour?” He asked. “Hah, city tour?” I scoffed. “If the perfect idea of your city tour includes poopy diapers and a screaming toothless baby.”

The man scrunched his nose and shook his head. “Yeah, no. I’ll have to decline.”

“Yeah, that’s what I thought.” I laughed along. “So beautiful stranger, can I at least get your name?” He asked me. I paused for a second and was debating whether to give him my name or not. After everything I had been through I was still a bit cautious of strangers.

“Come on, I mean no harm-seriously.” He laughed and stuck out his hand. “I’ll start, my name is Dario.”

“I’m Serena.” I somehow ended up introducing myself. Dario was a kind and charming person who obviously knew how to keep a conversation going. “What’s that smile on your face?” Dario asked.

I hadn’t even noticed the smile on my face until he pointed it out. “It’s just, you really remind me of someone dear to me.” I sighed and thought about Vince. We had also officially met at a grocery store and just like Dario he was also kind and charming.

“Is it your fiance? Dario asked with a hopeful look on his face. “No, not my fiancé-just a close friend.” I laughed, but once my mind went to Christian that laugh had vanished.
