His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 205

Christian

Christian leaned against the door frame and stared at Carmen, who was peacefully asleep. It was several hours after the party and as much as he wanted to do it, the traumatic experience was something he could not remove for her. It took a lot of patience, but she was finally asleep.

Christian felt guilty for staying at home, while Beau, Johnny, and Dario were already preparing for every worse case scenario. Even then. Christian believed the business was in good hands and trusted Dario to the fullest. Someone had to watch Carmen and Luke, and it had to be him. Beau would lose it if he would find out about Johnny’s decision to sacrifice his siblings.

Christian was not in the mood to sleep and did not want to leave the twins alone. Enzo was around, but he didn’t know about anything, and Christian didn’t want him to fall back into his old habits. Especially not when his brother was finally healthy again..

“Do you think she will be okay?”

Christian turned around and stared at Luke. He felt terrible about everything they went through and especially about his request to keep quiet, but it was for the best. Berto planned to destroy the family, and Christian wouldn’t let him. The last people who knew about what had happened, the better.

“It’s Carmen.” Christian smiled. “Of course, she’ll be okay.”

“Probably, yes.” Luke nodded. He stepped forward and looked at his sister. Christian noticed the troubled look on his face and slammed his arm around his shoulder. “I’m proud of you.” Christian praised him. “You were probably scared, but you stayed strong for Carmen.”

“That’s not true,” Luke shook his head. He was in denial, which was one thing Christian did not want for him. “I didn’t even do anything. I couldn’t because I’m too weak.”

“That’s not true,” Christian spoke. “You did what you could, and you shouldn’t grow up too fast. You’re a good brother.”

A slight smile appeared on Luke’s face. He had a different opinion, but it felt good to hear a compliment from the person he respected and looked up to.

“So that Logan kid, how does Carmen know him?” Christian wondered. He didn’t want to interrogate Luke, but there were still missing pieces to the puzzle.

How advanced was Berto with his plan, and how could Logan even force himself into Carmen’s life?

“She told me she met him at the mall…I’m sorry, this is all my fault-”

“No, it isn’t,” Christian reassured him. “This is what Berto does and what he has been doing, he has people everywhere, and no one can escape from that.”

Did someone approach you recently? Or did you make any new friends?” Christian questioned further. Luke tried to think of an answer, but his mind went blank. “No, I don’t think so.”

“Good.” Christian spoke, relieved. “That means he probably send Logan to keep an eye on the both of

you.”

“Yes, but why?” Luke blinked, surprised.

“Berto has eyes. everywhere and had it not been you and Carmen, it would’ve been someone else.”
