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?

An uneasy Siena who could feel the missing presence of her mommy released a few whines, threatening to spill tears. “I know. I feel the same.” Christian kissed her head.

He had promised himself to get her back today, no matter what. Canceling his original plan to attack his uncle and turning his back on the families was not what he wanted, but Serena’s safety was a priority.

Other than the people who had the right to know, Christian hadn’t shared the news of Serena’s disappearance, and even Lucio was unaware. He didn’t want any judgment or backlash for failing to protect her.

“The Alfonzo’s will be here soon. Do you want me to take her?” Cesca entered the room. Christian turned

his back.

“No.” He snarled. “Let me hold my daughter.”

“Christian…”

As much as Christian wanted to hate the guard and had even pushed a gun to his head, he couldn’t do anything. Wrapping people around her finger was one of Serena’s specialties, and anyone could’ve fallen

“How can she be this stupid?” Christian shook his head. At times he couldn’t understand Serena’s thoughts. “She’s either smart or stupid. There’s no in-between.

“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?
