His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 108

I paced back and forth my room with my phone in my hands and looked at the time.

Would it really be okay to call him? Was he even waiting for my call? Of course, he was. He was the one who cheated.

I took a deep breath and searched for his number. It was too late, so I expected him to sleep, but he picked up. just like Carmen told me. He shouldn’t be up that late. Christian needed his rest.

Why was he up so late, and why did I care?

“Serena? Is there something with Siena?” He asked in a hurry. I could hear he was wide awake and figured he had probably not closed a single eye.

“No, Siena is fine,” I spoke. His voice used to cheer me up and had slowly become like medicine to me, but all I could think of this time was the fact that he was a cheater. “How about you? Are you okay, Serena?”

I took a deep breath and asked myself the same question. I was a mess, and I probably looked like one too. “I’m fine.” I lied not to worry him. I was supposed to be mad at him, but even until now, I was still thinking about his feelings. What was wrong with me?

“Oh,” Christian replied. It went silent for a few seconds, and I didn’t know what to say. I had hoped for him. to say something, but he didn’t. I was clear with my words and told him I needed my space-and he probably worked along for Siena.

“Christian, I need to talk to you.” I finally found the courage to let out. “I have a lot of things to say to you-and I’m sure you miss Siena. We need to talk about what you did.”

“I know.” Christian sighed. “I wanted to give you your space, but I agree-and I know it’s going to be hard for the both of us, but we have to talk about this.”

Hard for the both of us? That was funny because I was the one living with the actual damage. “Serena, I still love you, and I never stopped loving you-

“That’s cute-but we’re not getting back together.” I immediately cut him off. I did not want any misunderstandings as to why I was ready to meet up with him. I loved him so much, I hated him-and I was still confused about whether I wanted to see him or not. The only reason why I was willing to meet up was for Siena and closure.

“Can I at least see Siena?” Christian asked. “I’m okay with whatever you want to make out of me-but please let me see my daughter.”

Christian asking for Siena made me feel like a terrible person. He lived for Siena, and I took her away from him because I was pissed, but what else could I do? Siena needed her mom. “We can meet up, and I’l take her with me.”

“Really?” He sighed, relieved. “Is there anything she needs?”

“I need her stroller, some clothes-her teddy bear, stuff like that.” I told him. It didn’t felt good, and it felt as if she was moving out, but just like Christian, I could not live without Siena and did not want to be spend at single day without her. “Yes, of course.”
