His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 180

Christian

“So when is that cousin of yours coming?” Beau asked as the two waited in front of the mall. “He’ll be here soon.” Christian stated. At least, that what he was expecting.

“He stood you up.” Beau chuckled while he pushed Siena’s stroller back and forth. “No, he didn’t, stop it.” Christian rolled his eyes.

“So you are serious about this?” Beau looked at Christian. “I told you, I’m sending Serena away.”

It was a spontaneous decision, but one which would be for the best. Christian was determined to find the key as soon as possible, and although he appreciated Serena being at his side, he didn’t want her to get involved.

That’s why he came up with a quick solution, a surprise vacation for Serena and her friends, who he knew she missed a lot. “I still don’t understand how Isobel got involved in all of this and why she has to go on vacation with a bunch of girls who don’t like her.”

“Because Isobel is annoying.” Christian rolled his eyes. “We have hard days ahead of us, and I don’t want her to distract you. She has this habit of calling you every second to force you to come back home, I can’t have that, and besides that-I need someone to keep an eye on Serena.”

“Right.” Beau chuckled. “Anyway, she agreed to it because you asked her to-but the case with Serena is a bit different.”

“You don’t really think you can buy my sister a suitcase filled with clothing and send her off to Panama, do you?” Beau laughed out loud. “It’s my sister we’re talking about-she won’t do leave that easily.”

“Yes, she will,” Christian stated. He was pretty confident that she would. “Every bit of doubt will disappear once she sees her friends. She won’t even question my intentions.”

“Oh,” Beau spoke, surprised. “Wow, you really planned all of this within hours, didn’t you?”

“Yes,” Christian smiled. He couldn’t believe that he even went as far as checking every piece of Serena’s clothing, just so he could buy her the right size-but he wanted it to be a surprise. He didn’t want to give Serena the opportunity to decline his offer.

“Beau, did you know Gina left?” Christian suddenly addressed the situation. He knew how difficult it could be to go through an experience like that on her own, and despite everything, he wanted to be there to comfort her. He knew that he had his family, but Gina had no one.

“Enzo said she left. Just drop it already.” Beau shrugged him off. Christian was shocked by Beau’s behavior but figured it was probably because he was looking out for his twin and didn’t want to hear her name. He decided to let it drop, but he wouldn’t let it rest.

“Anyway, so you want to send Serena away while we look for the key and get the money?” Beau confirmed. “Yes, and the photoshoot is two days after,” Christian spoke.

“I’m not only doing this to get rid of her, you know.” Christian smiled as his mind went back to Serena. “She’s been through a lot, and she never really had the time to relax. I want her to take care of herself.”

“Yes, I know.” Beau agreed. “Knowing Serena, she would rather help you-

“And what about Siena?” Beau asked. “How are you going to supervise Carmen’s party, find the key, get the money and take care of a baby-all in two days?”

Christian took a deep breath. “I’ll manage.”
