His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 107

The hours had passed, and I was still locked in my room. No one bothered me, and I was sure it was because Lita most likely told them not to. Otherwise, Luis or my dad, who jumped at every opportunity to see me-would’ve said anything by now.

“Siena is asleep.” My mom whispered as she walked in with a cup of tea. It was already late, and she had taken care of Siena for the entire evening. “I don’t know how to thank you.” I smiled and grabbed the cup from her hands.

“I’m not doing you a favor. I’m taking care of my granddaughter-I should be the one thanking you.” She spoke and held her hand against my check. “I’ve missed so much time with you, but Siena reminds me of you, so I feel like I can make up for it.”

“I know.” I smiled and held her hand. “And tomorrow, you can tell me the real reason why you took of your ring because I think there’s more going on than just a small argument.”

“Just giving you a heads up-she will probably scream during the night.” I frowned my eyebrows and avoided her question. As crazy as it might’ve sounded, I wanted this issue to remain between Christian and me.

“Don’t worry, I’ll take her-you’ve done enough for the day,” I told her. It felt nice to have someone else take care of her, but if it wasn’t Christian, it felt extremely uncomfortable and wrong. It made me feel like a bad mother who was neglecting her child for no good reason, while that was the last thing I wanted.

“If you say so,” Lita spoke and kissed my forehead. “Just make sure you get some sleep.”

After Lita left, I grabbed my phone and stared at the screen, waiting for Christian to call-but he never did. I was the one who told him not to contact me until I was ready, but why was I desperately waiting for

his call?

I had no one to talk to. Luna, Faith, and Olivia were too busy and no-go. I was not in the mood to hear, 1 told you so, and I did not want them to badmouth him. I was the only one allowed to do that.

Falling asleep again felt like an impossible mission, but after several hours of trying. I finally managed to do it. Unfortunately, it was only for a few hours because not long after-Siena was screaming like never

before.

I rushed to her room to pick her up and tried to calm her down, but it wasn’t working, and it seemed as if I was only making it worse. Siena was always quiet in Christian’s arms-so whenever this happened, he would usually take care of it so I could sleep through the night.

With a crying baby in my hands, I made my way to the kitchen and prepared her bottle. I felt terrible knowing everyone in the house was probably awake by now, but I couldn’t help it. “Just work along. please.” I pleaded as if she could understand me.

“Do you need help?” Lita rushed down the stairs, but I shook my head and turned away from her. “It’s my child, and I know how to take care of my baby. I don’t need help!” I spoke annoyed as I tried to close her

bottle.

know. I’m just offering you help.” She sighed. “I don’t need help!” I snapped while Siena started crying even louder. Lita stepped back and sat down on the chair as she watched me struggle.
