His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 140

I knew Beau was looking out for me, but babysitting Christian would not keep him in check. Unfortunately, that was something which he had to do by himself. “It can’t get worse than it is now, trusts me. Marc laughed.

I guess it couldn’t. You could say all of this could’ve been prevented if the video never happened, but it all started with Christian. All of this wouldn’t have happened if Christian did not cheat.

Lucio warned us about this and told us that our relationship was too risky, but he still stood behind us. He had warned us about what one bad thing in our relationship could do with the families bond, but we ignored it, and now we had to face the consequences.

“Christian’s grandpa called me his downfall.” I smiled through the pain. “He had always been so nice to me, and now he’s calling me the family’s downfall.”

“Ignore him” Marc spoke. “He’s just old-fashioned-”

“But you think he’s right?” I asked. Instead of telling me that it wasn’t true, Marc was defending Franco. “I think you can be both, but that’s not your fault. That’s his Marc spoke.

“He became so attached to you that he cannot live without you and his mood, unfortunately, depends on you.” Marc explained. “But you’re still your own person, and no one should force you to accept his crap. He cheated on you, and you handled it the correct way.”

“Are you really thinking of getting back together, or are you giving him false hope?”

I looked at Marc and thought about his words. False hope? It wasn’t anything like that. I wanted to get. together, but I had to trust him first. I trusted him as a friend, but I was not ready to trust him in a relationship. “I want to get back together. That was not a lie.”

“Good.” Marc smiled. “But don’t you think the two of you should work out a schedule for Siena?”

“I do, but my dad-”

“Has nothing to do with this.” Marc spoke. “It’s between you and Christian. You obviously know that he’s not going to take her away from you, so you should at least give him some rights.”

Marc was right. It had nothing to do with Matteo, and it was between the two of us-but I didn’t want to create any drama. “He’ll see her again tomorrow. It’s my weekly visit with the Lamberti’s.” I told him, but Marc seemed annoyed by my words.
