His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 287

Marvin

Today was Anya’s funeral, and it pained me to know that I couldn’t even be there. She was a good person with a good heart and had a long life ahead of her.

A part of me felt guilty for obeying my dad’s wishes, but more so for planning on seeing not only Daniel Stanfield but also Elena today.

“I thought I told you to stay out of trouble.”

I laughed at the familiar voice and raised my hand to greet Daniel. He had a bouquet in his hands and wore his rare everyday clothes.

Seeing him in something other than a uniform was refreshing for a change. “How can I stay out of trouble if others won’t let me?”

Daniel chuckled as he placed the flowers on the nightstand. “That’s true.”

“So I heard you called for me.” He spoke, sitting down. “Although you were my favorite inmate, I hope you know I’m risking a lot by just coming here.”

“Then why did you?”

Daniel grew an embarrassed smile on his lips and shrugged his shoulders. He came here because he owed it to me. We both knew that. “So, what can I do for you, Marvin?”

“I’m not going to waste any time. I heard Danny Hernandez is in your unit-

“Oh, no, no, no!” Daniel argued. “I don’t know what’s going on with this Hernandez versus Castillo beef, but I have a family-so I’m staying out of it.”

“So he’s in your unit?” I played with the string in my hands, ignoring his words. Perhaps these were the words of a spoiled little kid, but I didn’t take rejection very well. Daniel, who clearly felt pressured, took a long sip from his water bottle and wiped his forehead. “I knew coming here was a bad idea.” He muttered under his breath.

“What do you want, Marvin?”

I thought back on my time in prison and the Castillo’s who stood behind me. To execute my plan, I needed someone I could trust and someone willing to do anything. “I want you to tell me which of the Castillo men seems the most trustworthy.”

“Castillo men?” Daniel scoffed. “You have no shame, discussing this with a prison guard.”

“As far as I’m concerned, you’re not wearing your uniform,” I remarked. Unfortunately, Daniel had a lot to say. “Listen, I know you care a lot about your family…your wife Melany, and your three children?”
