Chapter 214

It took a few seconds, but it seemed like Christian had finally gathered some courage to ask me the truth. “Did you tell him,’ sounded the same as did you break our promise, and I couldn’t handle it?

“Where were you yesterday?”

“I told you…I just needed some air.” I whispered, afraid for his reaction. I lowered my head so I didn’t have to look at the disappointment in his eyes while Christian stepped closer. At least he had Siena in his arms so that meant he wouldn’t do anything crazy.

“Did you tell him?” Christian repeated himself. “I’m not asking you to pick a fight. I’m asking, so I can fix things before they get worse.”

“I-I…” I spoke, defeated. He didn’t seem angry, and that was a good thing, but why couldn’t I tell him the

truth. “I-I-”

“I told him about Johnny. It was me.

In shock, I turned around to face Dario, who stood in the doorway. Those words were supposed to leave my mouth, but instead, they left his. “Dario?” Christian spoke. “W-why would you even do something like that?”

Dario’s eyes met mine for a split second before they went back to Christian’s. “I told you that I don’t agree with Johnny’s actions, and I’m not trying to bully him because, at the end of the day, he’s my brother-but Beau had the right to know, don’t you think?” Dario explained calmly.

“Carmen and Luke are his siblings. They are Serena’s siblings, and they’ve both been loyal to you, so we should show some respect in return.” He continued. “Don’t you care about their feelings? Are they not as important as Johnny’s, is that it?”

I could tell Christian held himself back because of the baby, but Dario was right. He got my frustrations.. while Christian didn’t, and the worst thing was that I hadn’t even told Dario about those frustrations. “I’m sorry if you feel like I somehow disrespected you, but

“No, you didn’t,” Christian spoke. “It was just a simple question, and you gave me an answer, that’s all.”

Besides Siena, there was something else holding him back. Christian was known to be a short-tempered. monster whenever things wouldn’t go his way, but this time it was different. Was it because he didn’t want Dario to go back to his dad? Was it because he was traumatized at how things ended with Vincenzo?

“The idea of running a business together is that you don’t do things alone.” Christian forced a smile on his face. He was seconds away from exploding, but somehow managed to remain calm. “Serena, are you coming?”

“No.”

Christian frowned his eyebrows and glared at Dario, while I felt stupid and was afraid he misunderstood -my words. “No, what do you mean, no?” He scoffed.

“I just want to check on my brother, that’s all,” I reassured him. “I don’t want him to ruin your dad’s day, so I’ll talk to him and you’ll talk to Johnny. Okay?”

He seemed at ease with my explanation, but his suspicions towards Dario had not changed. “Then are you coming?” Christian asked him, with a disgusted look on his face. He didn’t want me to be around him.

“No.” Dario shook his head. Christian released a deep sigh as the tension was only getting worse.

“You know what, fuck it!” Christian snapped out of nowhere, while I quailed at his sudden outburst. “You two can f-”
