His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

“Did you have fun at the park, Cisco?” I brushed my hand over his hair. I could still not believe that he was Panther’s son, but after close observation, I could finally see it.

They had the same nose, the same eyes, the same smile. “Yes!” Cisco nodded, leaning into my arms. I wasn’t the biggest fan of children, but I didn’t mind his presence.

Today was our last night in Amsterdam, and we had decided to go out for dinner. Ever since yesterday, things had been awkward between Marvin and me.I should’ve kept my mouth shu

What if he suddenly decided to kick me out because he didn’t feel like being ‘nice’ anymore?

I ate my food in silence while Panther and Rona, who seemed to be getting along just fine, were having a conversation. My attention was on Marvin, who sat on the opposite side as my mind went to Rona’s words.

I told her about my conversation with Marvin, and Rona’s answer was so easy.Now you know he isn’t into you, get over it—and move on.

That was exactly what Marvin seemed to be doing. I knew he probably wanted to save me from embarrassment by pretending like our conversation never happened.Well, my conversation-because it was pretty one-sided.

“Don’t you like your food?” Marvin looked up from his phone. I shook my head as my cheeks turned red. “N-no, that’s not it,” I told him.I really had to stop staring at people.

Marvin shot me a smile. “Is something bothering you?”

Was he serious?

I squeezed the fork in my hands, trying to keep my cool as I was seconds away from throwing a drink in his face. This ‘unbothered’ side of him made him a bit less attractive. “No, nothing is bothering me.” I forced a smile on my lips.

“Can I get you something else to drink?” A waiter with a slight accent made his way to our table. He blatantly ignored the other’s presence and stared directly into my eyes.

“No, thanks—I’m good.”

Rona wiggled her eyebrows and nudged Panther while an annoyed sigh escaped from Marvin’s lips. Was he jealous?

I smiled at the blonde guy in front of me, determined to test Marvin. “So, where are you

from?” He asked.

“San Diego.”

“San Diego, nice.” He spoke. “And you’re here on vacation?”

I looked at Marvin, who leaned back in his chair, watching the situation. “Yes.”

“And how do you like it here?”

“It’s…different.”

In all honesty, I was not interested in him-not even the slightest. All my eyes could see were Marvin, but I started this game, so the least I could do was finish it.

“For how long are you staying here?”

Only after turning my head, I could finally see the dark look in his eyes. What was I even thinking? This man was a convicted felon.
