His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 210

“Thank you for everything…I appreciate it.” Dario began.

Christian sighed and leaned back in his chair. “That’s what family does. We look out for each other.” Christian spoke. “Well, most of us.”

Christian’s thoughts went back to his uncle and the terrifying monsters he had created. He had many people behind him and had even managed to brainwash Luca the same he had once brainwashed Dario.

“What happened out there is not your fault,” Dario told Christian. “We did everything together, so when something goes wrong-you shouldn’t have to carry all the burden.”

“Thank you,” Christian spoke, surprised. While others told him that it was not his fault and that it could not have been prevented, Dario was the only person who was able to give him an explanation. “And Luca…he’s stupid, but he’ll come around-I’m sure of it.” Dario told him. “Luca has a good heart. He just doesn’t always know how to use it.”

“I know.” Christian nodded. Luca had always been problematic, but Christian couldn’t deny that he was also the one who was once willing to trade his own life for Serena’s. He regretted shooting his cousin in the leg, but he had brought it upon himself.

He made that decision when he badmouthed Serena.

“Since we’re in this together…what do you think we should do about Johnny?” Christian wondered. “Serena says that I need to punish him-but I don’t think she understands the idea of losing another

cousin.”

“See, that’s where you’re wrong.” Dario disagreed. “What did you want her to do after hearing that Johnny wanted to sacrifice the twins?”

“No, I understand.” Christian rolled his eyes. “I just don’t think that yelling at him will do any good, and I know that Beau will probably kill him if he found out-so that’s why it might be for the best to keep quiet.”
