His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 117

“Dad, you need to stop looking at that video.” I sighed as I grabbed the phone from his hands. It was the video that had gone viral between all the families in the past day.

Seeing myself behave like some out-of-control animal was definitely a wake-up call, and I looked crazy. Yes, Christian was crazy for cheating, but I was crazy for losing control like that.

“Serena, you’re too kind. You only have to say the words, and I’ll take care of him!” Matteo threatened Christian. “I need all of you to stop!” I yelled out.

“I need you to understand Christian is not just a cheater. He’s also Siena’s father-1 need you guys to stop!” I spoke as I looked around the table. Emilio, Marcello, and Beau joined my father as they thought about every way to destroy Christian and even brought poor Luke into it.

“And I need you to understand that you’re not just Christian’s ex but also an Alfonzo-and I won’t allow him to play with my daughter!” Matteo growled as he slammed his fist on the table.

I flinched at his reaction and took a step back. Matteo being overprotective became a bit too much sometimes, but I knew it was due to missing a massive part of my life which made it all even harder.

“I know, dad, but please think about Siena. I at least want her to go from one parent to another, without noticing somethings wrong.” I spoke. The story about wanting her to grow up with two parents always

worked.

“When will you get it through that messy head of yours that he doesn’t deserve to see, Siena. He’s unfit to be a father!” Marcello snapped and stormed out of the room.

“Unfit to be a father?” I sighed. There was not one time I had thought Christian was unfit to be a father. He was scum, disgusting, a liar, and a cheater-but he wasn’t a bad father. Siena was his everything. “It’s funny you all say that because he was the one trying to hold me back to protect my image while I ran around like some headless chicken.”

“And you had the right!” Beau raised his voice. “You had every right to react like that, and I’m glad you beat her up. It serves her right. All you have to do is let me beat him u-”

“No, Beau-stop!” I told him. “Stop being like this. What’s wrong with all of you?”

“No, little sister, what’s wrong with you? And the worst thing is you’re going to pick up your stuff with his cousin, a Lamberti. If you forgive Christian, you’re a joke!” Emilio lashes out while I stood there with an uncomfortable look on my face. Why couldn’t they just let me do my own thing?

“I told you we’re not getting back together. I’m done with him as a partner, but he’s still Siena’s father- what do all of you expect me to do? To take away his visitation rights and-”

“Yes.” Everyone spoke in unison. “The video is damaging, and the Lamberti’s will start rumors about you. We can prevent that from happening and keep him in check by threatening him with Siena, or let me find you a good lawyer in case they try to do something.” Matteo spoke. All I heard from their mouths were all these crazy theories. “Christian won’t allow that-he isn’t like that.”

took a deep breath and closed my eyes as I tried to close off all the voices telling me what to do, but this time I didn’t need any help. “I don’t want him to be alone with Siena” I breathed as everyone kept quiet.
