His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 165

“Good” Christian spoke and pulled away to sit down on the bed. “So, what’s the deal with you and Dario?” I wondered. I couldn’t stop thinking about him and felt terrible for the way things went.

He betrayed his own dad to help us and it must’ve not been easy for him.

“You told me all he wanted was a family.” Christian started. “So I allowed him to become a Lamberti, if he wants to of course.”

“Huh?” I spoke, confused, while I sat down next to Christian. I listened as he told me about everything that happened and how Dario had switched sides. The most unexpected thing had to be Christian inviting Dario to the photoshoot and offering to introduce him to the family..

“So you think that doing that will make your uncle reveal himself?” I asked. “Yes,” Christian spoke. “Dario told me to keep doing what I’m doing, so that must mean we’re finally heading somewhere.”

“He also told me that my uncle is after the Lamberti warehouse because he has money know what kind of money, and I don’t know how much but-

“Siena’s funds!” I told Christian, who looked up in surprise. “It’s the money your uncle stole, and your grandpa just couldn’t stop talking about those funds-so I’m pretty convinced it’s the money he put away

for Siena.”

I gave him the information about Siena’s money and a bit more about Dario’s twisted mother. I could not understand how people even compared me to that woman. “So he’s doing all of this for Siena’s money?” Christian sighed.

That was right. He would agree with me and realize that his uncle was ridiculous. That man was sick, and if he thought that he could touch Siena’s money-

“He can have it,” Christian spoke to my surprise. “W-what?” I gasped with big eyes while Christian had a calm look on his face. “What do you mean, he can have it?” I asked, irritated.

“He can have the money if that means the warehouse with all of our stuff and all our men will at least be safe-then he can have it,” Christian explained. He took a breath and raised my chin with his hands, forcing me to look at him. “You don’t agree with me, do you?” He asked.

He was absolutely right. Of course, I didn’t agree with him handing over Siena’s present from her grandpa. to her greedy uncle. “If this is about money, I can get Siena other money!” Christian spoke. “But now that I know what kind of money we’re talking about, I think it’s for the best to take our distance from it.”

“Take our distance?” 1 frowned. As far as I was concerned, his uncle Berto was the one who should take his distance. “Serena, he’s willing to go really far for that money-and now that I know Siena is somehow involved, I just want to get my hands off it!”

“W-what?” I spoke, surprised. “Christian, do you hear yourself?”

“Yes,” Christian snapped. “I hear myself, and I’ve seen these kinds of things happen before. What do you think will happen when my uncle finds out all of the money he thinks is his will be going to some baby-”

“Your daughter.” I corrected him. “It’s not some baby, it’s your daughter-and once you give him the money, he’s going to want even more things. That’s how people are.”

fearing for his answer. He connected his hand with mine and stared into my eyes with a pitiful look on his face. “Do you really want me to fight for Siena’s money?” Christian asked. “I know where you’re coming from, and I know that he’ll come back for more, but please
