His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 196

Christian

“So everything is being taken care of, Franco is transferring the money, I’ve also taken care of Carmen and Luke’s party, and all we have to do is prepare for tonight. Beau informed Christian

Christian gave him a nod, but all he could think of was Serena. The text had bothered him, and he wanted to call her back, but he couldn’t. He knew he got easily distracted, and he did not want to risk with his

uncle.

Christian called for a last-minute meeting with all of the men he had gathered to capture his uncle He had chosen a group of twelve of loyal men who were able to take a secret to their grave, and he believed they were able to do so because they didn’t carry the Lainberti burden. As expected, they were all surprised at the sudden news of Berto’s resurrection, but they all listened to Christian’s instructions and were busy with the preparations for tonight.

“I cut off all of his credit cards and managed to gain the trust of every last person who worked for the Orlando’s.” Dario jumped in. Christian was proud of Dario for making that difficult decision, but it was for

the best.

He couldn’t even begin to imagine how difficult it must’ve been to go against his own father, but Dario was willing to help, and that was all that mattered.

“You have a thing for breaking people to the point they get too crazy to even defend themselves, don’t you?” Beau commented. He had observed Christian and noticed it was the same strategy he used on Fabio

Garcia.

It was weak, low, and an action of a coward, but it worked, and that was enough for Christian. “We’ve been playing this game for way too long, and it’s time to end it” He explained. Christian had enough of his uncle, and him ruining what he had with Serena was the final straw.

Even though Christian knew that the cheating part was all on him, he also knew that things were perfect. after Siena was born. That was the time when nothing could get in between them.

“Your phone,” Dario smiled at Beau as his eyes moved towards the bright phone screen. Christian’s widened his eyes as he read Isobel’s name and ignored the apologetic look on Beau’s face.

“I’m sorry, I have to take this.” Beau apologized as he got up from his chair, but Christian pulled him down. and shook his head. “Take it…take it here, it’s an order. Ile spoke, embarrassed. He was the first to admit that there was a lot he could learn from Beau and secretly wondered how he managed to handle someone like Isobel.

“I’m would like to apologize in advance.” Beau chuckled before he accepted the call. Christian was only interested in what Isobel had to say and scooted closer so he wouldn’t miss a single word.

“So, can you talk like a normal human now?” Beau laughed.

How can he be so calm? Christian thought, knowing his approach would’ve been a bit different.

“Beau, I’m sorry for this morning, and I’m sorry that I ignored your call.” Isobel apologized. Christian was shocked to hear the word, sorry, from his friend’s mouth and was wondering if perhaps Serena would’ve done the same.

“What was that?” Beau teased her. “I said I’m sorry, now don’t make me repeat myself.”

Beau laughed at Isobel’s failed attempt to apologize and decided to let it go. It’s fine, don’t worry about it.” He spoke. “I should be the one to apologize. I’ve just been so busy that the idea of calling you hasn’t crossed my mind.”
