His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 264

“I’m sorry, my bad.”

I pulled my hoodie over my head and reached down to grab my phone as I was determined to ignore all contact with the person who had bumped into me.

“No worries,” I whispered as I stormed off and made my way towards the bar. Today was a workday, and the wedding was getting closer, which also meant my meeting with Marvin was slowly getting closer, and I was as nervous as one could be.

“If you didn’t want to work today, you could’ve just said so,” Rona laughed as I walked past her. She followed behind me and removed my hood from my hoodie. “You know why I’m nervous,” I spoke. Besides Victoria, Rona was the only other person aware of the mess I had gotten myself into.

“Come on, calm down,” Rona reassured me. “You still got some time left, and besides that, it’s not as if you’re going to see the Marvin guy around here or something.”

“True.” I breathed. Rona had a point. He wasn’t going to be around here. It wasn’t even the fact that he was a criminal, but it was more so the fact that I had fallen in love with him. It was difficult to admit, but it was the harsh truth.

“Listen up. I’m about to ruin your day even more. Rona spoke nervously. I waited for her explanation, but she remained silent. “What do you mean?”

“Uh, well,” Rona began. “There is this group of men upstairs, and apparently, the cops are on their way to

arrest them.”

I was waiting for her to tell me that she was joking, but I could not deny the serious look on her face. “I’m sorry, what?”

“Yes, some guy came in here.” Rona sighed. “I think he’s a special agent or something. By the way, it was actually Santiago’s brother..”

“Santiago of the wedding?” I frowned while Rona nodded her head enthusiastically. I guess his brother had finally returned from vacation. “Yes, him!”

“Okay, but please get to the point.”

“Oh, yes-of course.” Rona continued her story. “He told me to be prepared because the cops are on their way to arrest this asshole who is upstairs.”
