His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 158

“I’ll drop you off at home, and after that, I’m going to get my uncle,” Dario spoke after an awkward silence.

I was still pissed at Christian and couldn’t stand the thought of him and Gina being together. I didn’t care. if she was close to death. I just didn’t want her around.

“You can also stay with us. Apparently, our house is a walk-in clinic,” I scoffed. “N-no, you’ve already done enough.” Dario sighed. “I can’t believe I betrayed my dad.”

“I’m so sorry.” I apologized. I was so caught up in my own stuff that I had forgotten all about his actions. He betrayed his dad, who he was so fond of, and he did it all for me. He was also the one who came back for

“No, don’t be. I don’t know what would’ve happened if we came any later. I don’t know what I was thinking -I’m the one who should be apologizing.” Dario spoke. I still had so many questions, but at the moment, Dario seemed just as confused as I was, and he needed time.

“Do you think your dad will come back for Luca?” I wondered. After Dario’s betrayal, Luca was the only one Berto could probably count on. Dario betrayed him, and Johnny was never an option.

“I don’t know.” Dario sighed. “He told me that it wasn’t time to reveal himself because Lucio is still alive- but he’s all on his own now, so I don’t know.”

“And the Orlando estate?” I continued. I was willing to hear every bit of information he wanted to give me. “I’ll wait until my dad’s cools down. He can’t stay mad at me forever.”

“Do you still want what Christian’s has?” I asked, surprised. I thought we were heading towards the end of, things, but we were not. “I still think his position is supposed to be mine,” Dario spoke. “Dad went too far with kidnapping Enzo and the girl, but we still have the same goal.”

“Dario…”

“You already carry the Orlando name, just let it rest and go your own way. Christian doesn’t have anything to do with this!”

“He has what’s mine, and he never said anything about it-so how does he not have anything to do with this?” Dario pointed out. Fair point, he got me there.

“And what if you’d talk to him about it so the two of you can work things out?” I suggested. “I did know what happened in the past because I wasn’t there-but Christian has changed a lot.”

“You’re so cute, Serena.” Dario chuckled. I knew my words sounded stupid, but I could always try.

“I just want you to stay by my side. I don’t want to lose you too.” I muttered, embarrassed. All I wanted was for everyone to get along. Why did it have to be so difficult?

Dario drove me home and never addressed my words again. I bet he felt terrible for Enzo and Gina because putting their lives in danger was not part of his plan, but despite all of that, nothing had changed. He still held a grudge against Christian.
