His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 198

Christian

“A bit rough, don’t you think?”

Christian turned around and looked at Dario He was the last person Christian wanted to see at that moment, especially after Serena’s confession. It wam’t new to Christian, but it felt different to hear it from her mouth, and he did not want to be anyone’s second choice

“Beau would’ve dragged you through the hallway if he heard you-

“And how much did you hear?” Christian wondered. He wondered if he was around long enough to hear Serena’s confession. “I heard you called her a bad mom, and I don’t want to get involved, but that’s not true, and you know that.”

Don’t want to get involved? Christian could hardly believe that statement as all issues started with Dario. He had kept his calm and did not want to let a woman come between his relationship with his cousin. He believed Dario could be valuable to the family business and wanted to keep whatever mess was happening separated from it all.

“You’re a bit mentally abusive, don’t you think?” Dario commented. Christian sighed as he thought about his harsh words. Of course, he didn’t think Serena was a bad mom, but he was pissed about Dario and needed to release his anger.

Mentally abusive? Those words sounded terrifying to him and was another reason to doubt their relationship. He didn’t mean any of his words and the last thing he wanted was for her to be unhappy.

“Let’s go.” Christian walked past Dario. He was afraid he might’ve punched him if he would’v stared at him for just a bit longer. Dario followed Christian outside as they made their way towards Beau.

Christian stood in front of the club and felt his heart drop as he looked at the building. This was where it all happened. This was where Serena caught his attention for the first time. What he didn’t know back then was that, that same person would have the ability to ruin his day.

“Did you call my sister?” Beau asked. Christian felt sorry towards Beau and didn’t want him to worry. He knew Dario was right and that Beau would kill him if he had heard his words. “Yes, I did.”

“So, how did it go?”

“Good,” Christian replied. He patted Beau on his shoulder. “We should go.”

“So, what’s the plan?” Dario asked. Christian felt annoyed by just hearing his voice and repeated the same words in his head. He is my cousin.

“Beau’s coming with me, and you can go to the warehouse to keep everything in check,” Christian suggested. He knew he couldn’t blame Dario for his issues, but he also knew he didn’t want to resent him, so he would do everything to prevent that from happening.

“Don’t forget about Kenzo.” Dario reminded him. Christian had forgotten all about his cousin, and that was unlike him. He was starting to feel the effect of Serena’s words and became sloppy in just a matter of

seconds.
