His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 110

Christian

“Who is there?” Lucio asked after hearing three knocks on the door. “It’s your favorite son!” Christian called out.

Lucio smiled and sat up straight. “Gio? Come in!” He joked. Christian rolled his eyes and opened the door to enter the bedroom. “No, it’s Enzo.” He chuckled. After hearing his son’s name, the look on Lucio’s face had changed. “Then you can go again.” He spoke.

Christian sighed and walked over to the bed to hold his father’s hand. “I know you miss him a lot.”

“I don’t.” Lucio growled. “I won’t forgive him, over my dead body.”

The sound of those words was a nightmare to Christian. He did not wished to see his dad stressed and wanted him to make up with Enzo, but he also didn’t want a repeat of what happened at the Garcia’s

estate.

“Where are Serena and Siena? Are they sick of me already?” Lucio chuckled. Christian smiled back and shook his head. “I decided to come clean about my mistakes after all, so now we’re on a ‘break’ whatever that’s supposed to mean.”

“Oh?” Lucio furrowed his eyebrows. “But she’s still wearing her ring, right?”

Christian smiled and thought of Serena and how thoughtful she was. She was still pissed, but she did not want to worry Lucio-so she asked for her ring back. “Yes, she’s still wearing it-she’s just pissed, and she wants to poke me in my eyes, but you don’t have to worry. She’ll be home next week.”

“She left home?” Lucio sighed. Christian did not want to burden his dad with this news, but the thought of Christian losing Serena bothered Lucio. “How are you taking it? Please tell me you’re keeping it together?” Lucio worried.

He knew all too well about Christian’s lousy habit and was not in the mood for a relapse. “Dad, I told you I’m done drinking and smoking. I have Siena now, so I have to find another way to deal with my crap. Whether I like it or not.”

Lucio nodded his head and ruffled Christian’s hair the same way he did when he was younger. “What are you doing?” Christian laughed as he pushed away his hand.

“I hadn’t done that in years, I felt the need to do that at least one time before-”

“Dad, don’t do that.” Christian took a deep breath. “Don’t say stuff like that. I can’t take it when you say stuff like that. Please don’t!”

Christian sighed. All he wanted was to take care of Siena, but he couldn’t. He could still not understand how a four-month-old baby could change his life, but he was okay with it. Siena was the first thing he thought
