His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 234

“So what you’re saying is that it’s impossible to get to her now?”

Christian balled his fist, taking a breath. Hearing his grandpa’s news about his uncle’s many guards did not fit his perfect plan.

He stared at Franco, who had pulled him aside to give him the news as guilt was written all over his face. “All of this is my fault. I shouldn’t have abandoned him like that.” Franco spoke. “We’ll figure something

out.”

Christian shook his head. “I will.” He spoke. “You have to go to the hospital. Dad needs you.”

“And I need you to take Siena with you.” He said, knowing it was the safest way to protect her if something were to happen. “Don’t worry about me. I’ll live.”

“Why do I feel like you’ve got something planned?” Franco asked suspiciously. Christian shrugged. “I will have to kill him. You know that, right?” He spoke. “Dad might not agree, but there is no place for uncle in this world, especially not after taking Serena

“No one forced her to do it she made her own choice. Franco carefully shared his opinion. “I heard she’s pregnant…again, and that’s nice. He spoke “But after all of this is finished-you should break off the engagement and consider sending her back to the Alfonzo’s.”

“It’s for the good of the family.

“Never,” Christian spoke, knowing that his mom and grandpa would rather see them apart than together.

Startled, Franco massaged the back of his neck.. “N-never?” He stuttered. “I learned to respect her because she’s always been respectful towards me, and she’s an Alfonzo, but all that girl causes you trouble.” He placed his hand on Christian’s shoulder. “Having someone who doesn’t stop making reckless decisions by your side will destroy this family-and I won’t allow that.”

Christian chuckled, lowering his head. He was the first to admit Serena’s decisions weren’t always the smartest, but deep down, he knew she did everything she could to protect him. “What has Serena done that I haven’t?” He asked. Franco stumbled, struggling to come up with an answer.

“Exactly.” Christian shrugged. “If you’re so worried about the state of the family, I’ll take a step back and hand it over to someone else-but I will not be bullied into leaving Serena.” He spoke. “It’s not going to happen, not again.”

“What?”

“If you really want to blame someone for our misfortune, you should blame me!” Christian raised his voice. “I’m the one who approached her. I brought her here to this twisted family, I was too selfish to let go of her, and while you’re complaining about everything, she put her own life in danger to stop your son from killing all of us.”

Franco was speechless. “So you’ve been planning to bail on this family all along?”
