His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 142

“Mom.” Christian called out. We entered a room, and Cesca was on the phone. “I’ll call you back later. Something funny came up.” Cesca spoke as she glared at me.

It started off great.

“I thought you were going to bring me Siena, but you brought her instead,” Cesca spoke with a fake smile. on her face. It was almost as if she was refusing to say my name.

“I came here because I want to talk to you,” I told her, hoping it would explain things. “Talk?” Cesca laughed. “What do you want to talk about?”

She was not very friendly, and it reminded me of the first time I met her. I was still confused as to what I had ever done to deserve this kind of treatment. “I want to talk about everything. Christian and I made up. so we should probably do the same-”

“This is not a game, Serena” Cesca rolled her eyes while Christian, who had been quiet for a while, had enough. “Mom, stop disrespecting her-please.”

“Do you need a reminder of what happened the last time you refused to talk things out?”

The look on Cesca’s face had slowly changed. How could she not remember that? It was the day Christian fost it and went against his brother for me. “No.” Cesca sighed. “If she wants to…talk things out…I guess we

“Can I get you something to drink or something to eat?” Cesca offered, but I shook my head in response. “No, that’s not necessary-I just want to talk.”

“Okay.” Cesca smiled and sat down. “Please talk.”

The look she gave me made me nervous, and she had no issue showing me that she was only doing this because of Christian’s threat. “I uh…I’m sorry for everything, but I don’t know what I did wrong

It went quiet for a few seconds before Cesca let out a loud chuckle. “You don’t know what you did wrong?”
