His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 114

It was evening, and we were all sitting around the table. Emilio, Marcello, and Maddie had stopped by for dinner, which allowed me to announce the news. Luis stayed with his elder brother so he could be with Vince, which meant I did not have to watch my words. All I had to do was tell them the news.

Everyone was too busy with Milo and Siena that they hadn’t even realized that I wasn’t in the mood. Other than Carmen, no one had noticed-not even Beau.

“I have something to tell you guys!” I spoke loud enough, so I did not have to repeat myself. Everyone stopped talking and turned their heads towards me. There was probably more than enough footage of me beating up Gina, which was yet to be released, and I wanted them to hear it from my mouth.

“Christian and I are not getting back together,” I announced. It was so quiet around the table. You could hear a pin drop. As expected, this was everyone’s reaction. “What do you mean? You still had your ring in the hospital-please explain, I’m lost.” Beau chuckled.

“What do I have to explain?” I spoke, annoyed, and stabbed my fork into my steak. “Christian and I are not getting back together.”

“Sweetheart, I told you arguments are not forever-whatever happened between the two of you is not forever.” Lita comforted me, but what no one knew was that there was another bomb left to drop.

“Christian cheated on me while I was pregnant. He cheated on me with his assistant-we’re not getting back together. I explained as I tried to remain calm. “What?” Matteo spoke. I was too afraid to meet my dad’s or my brothers’ eyes, and I did not want them to do anything stupid.

“I will kill him,” Emilio spoke and smacked his fists on the table-but before he could get up. Lita sat him back down again. “You won’t kill him. None of you will do anything. You won’t kill him. You won’t touch. him-he’s not worth it.” I told them as I looked across the table and tried to read everyone’s expression.

Matteo and my brothers seemed like they could pick up a knife and run to his house any second, while Carmen, Lita, and Maddie seemed confused. “How can you ask us not to kill him?” Beau spoke through gritted teeth while Carmen held his hand. “Relax.” She told him.

“That’s why you came here. I’m so stupid.” Matteo sighed.

“I’m asking all of you to remain calm-because I beat up his assistant in broad daylight, and I’m pretty sure people filmed it,” I spoke, embarrassed. “I don’t need any more shit on top of that, whatever happened-leave it.”

“Do you know who filmed it? Maybe we can stop it from spreading?” Luke suggested. I smiled at him and. shook my

head. “Don’t bother. The entire neighborhood was there to watch the show. I don’t know what came over me-but I just got so angry…”

“It’s okay. You’re not the issue here.” Luke spoke. I looked down at Matteo’s clenched fists and wondered. whatever he would’ve done if I wouldn’t have told him to let it rest. “I know things are very difficult for Lucio, but if he knew about this-I won’t let it rest.”
