His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 243

“All of that because I didn’t have his back!” I whispered to myself. Johnny rushed to Luca’s side-while Enzo slammed his arm around my shoulder.

“Don’t take it personally. He’s always been like that-whining like a little child”

“Yes, I know.” I folded my arms. “But leaving me behind”

“With me.” Enzo shrugged. “That means he trusts me–doesn’t it?”

“He’s not angry with you. He’s upset because you looked at him with those puppy eyes.” Dario stepped forward, smirking

“What puppy eyes?” I pouted. “All I told him was not to murder his cousin, and now suddenly I’m the bad

Dario tapped his finger against my nose. “Those puppy eyes” He showed me his dimples, making me blush. “Don’t worry about him too much, and just let him calm down.”

I didn’t love Dario the way I loved Christian. I had already ruled that one out, but having someone to talk to who shared the same interests and knowing he was back to his old self melted my heart.

He deserved happiness.

“So what will happen to uncle Berto?” Enzo’s look was full of curiosity. Both Johnny and Luca gave Dario their full attention.

“When all of you are out of here-I’ll burn him alive.” He spoke nonchalantly. “Don’t worry, I’ll show Christian his head-so he knows I’m not trying to screw him over.”“”

“Sounds fair.” Enzo agreed. Hearing them talk that casually made me want to throw up, but I was trying to keep myself together. I wasn’t cut out for this. Not at all.

“Then we’ll get out of your hair after Luca apologizes to Serena” Johnny slammed his fist against his brother’s back. “Come on, go on

Luca, too afraid to meet my eyes, stepped closer and slowly raised his head. We made eye contact without either of us saying a word, and to be honest-I didn’t need his apology.

All I needed was for him to get back to his healthy self. I wanted him to relax and take a break from this crazy family.

Johnny might’ve dodged the curse, but Luca was a perfect result of bad upbringing If someone should take the blame—it would have to be the Alfonzos for neglecting him.

“I can make many excuses for my actions, but I’m not going to do that.” Luca spoke just above a whisper. “I don’t think you’re waiting for my apology.but I’m sorry for everything—~

“I know.” I interrupted him, not wanting to hear any more. “Let’s not make it any more difficult.”

“Thank you.” Johnny almost held his brother in a chokehold as if he was afraid he could run out any second

“Just take him to my place while I take care of Serena, and don’t try anything funny,” Enzo ordered. “If he tries something, we’ll all die.”
