His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 153

“Thanks for keeping him under control.” I thanked Beau. “I know it must’ve been a burden for you to get all the way back here-but I appreciate it.”

After l’brought Christian back home, I called my brother to keep an eye on him to make sure he wouldn’t do anything stupid. I would’ve done so myself, but I had others plans and did not want Christian to get involved.

“Yes, of course-anything to help,” Beau spoke and looked at Christian through the glass window.

“I still can’t believe Luca was behind all of this, but it all makes sense.” Beau sighed. “I feel sorry for Christian. It seems like nothing’s working out for him.”

“I agree.” I nodded as I gave him a sympathetic look. If it wasn’t his own brother, it was were his own cousin and uncle. He had often mentioned about not telling Luca and Johnny the news about Berto, because he didn’t want to hurt him-but Luca ended up hurting him instead.

He had to lead an entire group of people who were against him, and it was his family which made it even worse. If I could’ve done something, I would’ve taken away all of his pain, but that was impossible. The -only thing I could do was remind him who was in control.

“What are you going to do?” Beau asked. “I know you’re up to something. You always are.”

Sometimes his ability to see through me became a burden as I could not keep a single thing to myself. “I’m making sure there won’t be a bloodbath tomorrow I told Beau the truth. “Somewhere deep down, Dario has a good heart, so I will warn him and ask him to pick a side-”

“Serena, no!” Beau attempted to stop me. “You’re not some hero. If he tells his dad-it’ll be over for all of us, and the only one drowning in a bloodbath will be us. Is that what you want?” Beau asked as I shook my head in response.

The only thing I needed was his trust. I was not stupid, and I knew what I was doing. Dario would never do anything to hurt me, and after hearing Luca’s words, I was pretty convinced that also he did not expect things to go that far.

“Beau, you trust me, right?” I asked. Beau took a deep breath and turned his head the other way. “Of course I trust you. I hate it when you do this.”

“But you trust me, right?”

“Yes, I trust you,” Beau replied. “I trust you with all my heart-but I don’t think it’s smart to get involved,” Beau spoke. “You told me that his uncle doesn’t have an issue with you-so why don’t we keep it that way? What if he finds out you tried to change Dario’s mind?”

“Then so be it!” I spoke, determined. I would not turn my back on Dario, and I had to warn him. Yes, he made many mistakes, but everyone made them. I tried my hardest to change Christian’s mind-but his love for me would only go that far. All Dario had to do tomorrow was surrender.
