His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 123

Chapter 123

“Listen, Serena, I don’t have time for your bullshit-we have a problem, and we’re going to have to work together to fix it.” Christian spoke.

He sounded as if he was in a rush, and he sounded serious, so I did the first thing which came to my mind. and parked the car to the side. “What’s wrong? Is everything okay?” I asked, worried.

Why did I even care?

“It’s the ring.” Christian sighed. “I’ll take responsibility for everything that happened-but not the ring.”

Was he serious? Was he really calling me over a stupid ring?

“I know you’re desperate to talk to me-but don’t you think it’s going a bit too far?” I chuckled, but he remained. silent. “Hello, Christian?”

“The ring you threw away, my dad once gave it to me-to give to you. It’s a family piece, and I need it back.” He sighed. I felt sorry for him, but that wasn’t my problem anymore. “Well…you know I threw the ring away so.”

“Where!” Christian asked. That was a difficult question. It could’ve been anywhere. “Well, I don’t know, and I’m not watching that video again—“

“Serena, think!” Christian begged. “Please, think.”

I closed my eyes and went through the embarrassing moment in my head. “I think the road, maybe? Behind the road are woods, so maybe you should try your luck there.”

“Good, we’ll go around midnight.” Christian decided. He didn’t ask me. He ordered me around like it was nothing. I have a baby to take care of our daughter, by the way, you’re right, the ring is absolutely my fault, and I apologize-but I can’t come.” I politely let him down, but he wouldn’t take no for an answer.

“Let someone watch Siena. Since your family wants to step up all of a sudden, I don’t think they’ll mind taking care of her. At least I hope that’s the case.” Christian spoke.

“I told you, I can’t. I’m sorry.” I spoke as I looked back at Siena, who was asleep. Ask you, brother. He’ll say yes.” Christian suggested. He wasn’t going to let it go.

“Christian, Beau has his own life.” I reminded him. I couldn’t always depend on my twin brother. “Beau has no life. He’ll eat your toenail if you ask him too-

“Wait a minute, why do I have to help you?” The thought had suddenly occurred to me. “That’s easy,” Christian. spoke. “Because I’m embarrassed, I don’t need any more people to judge me, and I’m not letting anyone lose sleep over something you lost. It’s our responsibility, so we should get it together.”

“If not for me, then please for my dad.” Christian requested. This was not the first time he got his way by using his dad, and the worst thing was that it was actually working. “Why are you in such a hurry to find it?” I asked. It was weird that he desperately needed my help while we were not exactly on speaking terms. There was definitely more to the story. “How are you going to ask me for a favor after you’ve threatened to take Siena away from me?”

“Serena, is this about your dad again? Because I’m done having this conversation with you.” Christian sighed. “You shouldn’t worry about why I’m willing to fight for my daughter. You should worry about why your dad wasn’t willing to fight for you.”
