His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 231

“Excuse me, miss The guard pushed himself in front of me “You are not allowed to leave

“Says who?”

“Christian

It was already past midnight, and I had managed to sneak away, but leaving the mansion was not as easy as I expected it to be.

I said my farewells to Christian and Siena, and now it was time to keep my end of the deal. It was time to meet Luca

“I have an appointment.”

The guard sighed. “In the middle of the night without a driver?” He spoke sarcastically. I knew there was a chance he wouldn’t fall for it, especially after Christian gave them clear instructions not to let me leave without him.

“Listen, he knows about this.” I rolled my eyes.”Do you want me to wake him for you?”

The guard and I stared at each other as I patiently waited until he couldn’t take it longer. “N-no, I wouldn’t want to wake him from his sleep.” He gave in. “I’ll open the gates.

“Thank you.”

I looked back one last time before exiting the mansion I thought I’d spend the rest of my life. With a deep breath, I walked to the location where I had agreed to meet Luca.

Other than a picture of my daughter, I had absolutely no belongings and was left completely empty- handed. That was the deal. No items, no cellphone.

“So you showed up after all.” I felt a hand on my shoulder. “Good for you!”

Any other day I would’ve smacked Luca’s hand away, but just for today, I’d decided to behave. I turned around with nervous laughter. “Yes, I’m here.”

Luca held a strand of my hair between his fingers and smiled at me. Thinking about it, I had never really been too fond of him-not even when he was willing to give his life to save mine. Unlike Johnny, who had just lost his way-1 had never bonded with Luca.

“I hope you didn’t forget about our deal.” I reminded him.

Luca chuckled. “We’ll leave the Lamberti’s alone, we’ll give them back the money and the warehouse-and we got you a good doctor to take care of you.”

“And my life?”

Luca moved his hand to the back of my hair and tightened his grip around my head. “Believe it or not, I’m not out to kill you.” He pulled me closer, leaving me no choice but to stare into his cold eyes. “My dad is crazy, so be a good girl and listen.”

I felt a lump in my throat and could not find the words to say, so I gave him a nod instead. I wasn’t afraid of many things, but Berto Lamberti had definitely left a bad taste in my mouth.

“We need to move before they know you’re gone.” Luca pulled out a napkin. “You will be out for a bit, but it won’t bring harm to you or the baby.”
