His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 151

Chapter 151

“Get in.” Christian ordered me around as usual. He drove all the way over after a simple phone call, and he was not in a good mood. He seemed like the old version of himself.

My eyes moved to the gun in the backseat. What was he up to?

“Oh hell no, I’m not getting in,” I spoke, shocked. “I don’t know what you have planned, but I don’t want to be part of it.”

“That’s a first.” Christian snarled. “Don’t you always want to be part of everything?”

I was not in the mood to argue, and I did not want to cause a scene, so for once, I did what he asked me to do and got into the car. “Happy?”

Christian didn’t say another word and drove off while I stared at him and thought about whatever his problem might be this time. Was it because of the way I left yesterday? Was it because I didn’t answer my phone?

“Are you going to kill me and hide my body in the woods?” I attempted to lift the mood but quickly realized it failed. “No, of course not. Please think for once-why would I physically hurt you?” Christian snapped.

Calm down. It was a joke.

“Serena, you trust me, right?” Christian asked. He sounded miserable and broken. “As long as you don’t give me a reason not to trust you anymore.” I sighed. “Now tell me, where are we going?”

“I remember,” Christian spoke, determined. “You have to be a bit more specific.” I chuckled. He would. often start conversations out of nowhere and expect everyone to know what he was talking about. It was something he used to do all the time, but I thought it was cute.

“The party, I remember.” Christian continued. “The reason why I didn’t remember before was mainly because Dario is irrelevant to my past-but it all came back.”

“It was not Johnny. It was Luca. He was the one who helped him.”

“Wait, what?” I asked, shocked and listened as Christian told me the correct story. At the same time, I was still trying to process that they all threw food over him. That was a low and weak way of bullying him. “So now you’re going over to threaten your cousin because he helped your enemy?”

“You don’t get it, do you?” Christian rolled his eyes. “Don’t you think it’s weird how Luca suddenly showed his big head out of nowhere and tried his hardest to be friends with me-

“Calm down,” I told Christian. “Take a deep breath, relax, and please tell me in a way I can at least understand.”

“I think my uncle send him here to keep an eye on me. Luca had never shown any interest in hanging out with me until you moved in. I’m sure of it.” Christian spoke. His words were finally starting to make sense -and were something we should’ve come up with earlier. Luca made it clear from the very start that he

didn’t really like Christian, so why was he hanging around him?

I knew it was about time to block off the good side of my brains because it wasn’t going anywhere. There was no point in feeling sorry for everyone when all they did was betray me. Sorry for what?

“Do you now understand why we can’t all sit around a big table to talk this out? We can’t trust anyone, you can’t trust anyone. I need you to wake up!” Christian spoke some sense into me.

“D-do you

think he might’ve already known about me?” I wondered. It was a thought which had suddenly. occurred after hearing Berto had probably instructed him to keep an eye on all of us. “Maybe, my dad and my uncle used to tell each other everything-and my dad still used to follow his orders around the time. you were born.”
