His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 144

Today would finally be the day. Just as promised, I scheduled a meeting between Christian, my parents, and my brothers.

There was only one thing stopping me, and that was Christian refusing to enter the house. “Come on, don’t be such a baby.” I giggled and pinched his cheeks.

“Stop it.” Christian spoke, annoyed. “It’s not that I’m scared. It’s just that I don’t know how I’ll react-] don’t know if I can sit there and watch them glare at me.”

“You can.” I smiled. “You can and you will, for me.”

I squeezed his hand and gave him a sad look until he finally gave in. “Fine, let’s go.” Christian sighed. I nodded my head and pulled his hand to lead him inside, where my family was already waiting for us.

The angry looks were not that difficult to miss. “What is the meaning of this?” Matteo growled as Christian and I sat down on the opposite side of him.

“You don’t even have to say anything,” I whispered to Christian. “All you have to do is keep your m shut, and I’ll handle it.”

“Handle what?” Emilio asked and looked from me to Christian. “Just let me do the talking.” I whispered Christian’s words could come off as rude because that was his way of talking, and I did not want to make things worse. “What is he doing here?” Marcello asked with a confused smile on his face.

“Guys, sit down,” I instructed. “Sit down, listen, and please keep your mouth shut until I’m done talking.” “You’re ordering us around now?” Matteo commented. The bothered look on his face told me that he knew exactly where this was going. “It’s not that different from you ordering us around.” Beau stuck up me. He was the only one I could count on. “Thanks, Beau.” I smiled.

“Long story short, Christian and I are getting back together, and I’ll be moving back home with Siena.”

I observed everyone’s reaction and watched as their surprised look slowly changed to angry frowns. It seemed like only Beau, and surprisingly Emilio stood by my side. “That’s funny.” Lita laughed.

“Give me one reason why I shouldn’t put a bullet through his head, right this instant!” Matteo glared at Christian.

Keep your mouth shut, Christian, I thought to myself. I told him I would handle it, so I would. The last thing I needed was for his bad temper to get involved. It would only make things worse.

“Don’t you get tired?” Christian sighed while I mentally smacked myself. So much for telling him to stay quiet. “Don’t you ever get tired of being angry all the time?”

“Excuse me?” Matteo frowned. “Serena is trying to explain something, and you won’t even listen to her, all of you, so maybe I can get through to you,” Christian spoke.

“Serena and Siena are coming back home, where they belong-and Serena is not asking you for permission. She’s just informing you.” Christian glared. “She’s not your dog.”

Well, that was one way to put it.

“So you expect me to let you take them with you after embarrassing this family by cheating on my daughter with your assistant and after making a fool out of her? And I don’t know if you remember, but
