His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 232

Christian

How could I have let this happen

Those were the only thoughts going through Christian’s mind. He held Siena in his arms and pushed her against him

“Til get her back, Siena…I promise.”

Nothing could’ve prepared him for his missing good morning kiss or the letter Serena left him behind. Christian couldn’t help but blame himself for failing to detect Serena’s odd behavior. Was that why she told me about the pregnancy?

“I just don’t understand why she would do something like this.” He spoke, remembering his uncle. Christian was aware that his uncle was not in his right mind.

What if he would hurt her?

What if he would hurt the baby?

“I won’t force her to be me with me if she doesn’t want to, but does she not care about Siena?”

Or the baby?
