His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

“Calm down. It’s me!” Victor growled. I stared my adoptive brother in the eyes and pushed him against the wall. “All the more reason to choke you!”

I squeezed my hand around his throat for a split second, before releasing him as I did not want to ruin Tiago’s day. There was nothing more which I wanted than to kill this father-stealing bastard, but that would have to wait.

“Where is dad?”

Victor let out a cough and held his hand against the wall as he caught his breath. “You sick motherfucker, they should’ve kept you in your cage!”

I rolled my eyes at Victor’s way of overreacting and folded my arms as I waited for him to get back to normal. “It’s a mystery how you’re able to take anything, but a hand around your throat.”

“Now tell me, where’s dad, and why isn’t he with Tiago?”

Victor cleared his throat and fixed his tie.

-We were taking care of the possible hit on your brother, but don’t worry-because we’ve got double the security, so all should be fine.”

“Hit. what do you mean, possible hit?”

I only had one brother, and that was Santiago. The idea of someone being able to hurt him made me sick to my stomach. “Where is

my father?”

“One of the Hernandez’ men snitched on Freddie and told us that they’re planning to strike at the wedding.” Victor ignored my initial question and continued talking. “Freddie gave them one simple instruction. He told his men to execute your brother at the wedding-as revenge for what you’ve done to Danny.”

“So you’re telling me they’re after Santiago?”

“Yes, but-

as I looked from the gun in my hands to my dad and Victor. Back in prison, the words had left my mouth so easily when I had told my dad to double the security, but now that my fear became a reality, I had a slight change of mind.

but I couldn’t blame him. All he ever wished for was our father’s affection, so at times like these, he was too blind to see the truth. I glared at Victor, who had also planted a fake smile on his face. I had him all figured out,
