His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 310

“So, what’s your big plan with Elena?” Panther asked. After dropping Elena’s friend home, we were on our way back to the mansion. I looked back at Cisco and Elena, who were passed out in the back.

“What?”

“What’s your big plan with Elena?” Panther asked again. I heard him the first time, but that was something which I could not answer.

“I’ll take her with me, and in the meantime, I’ll figure out a way to help her.”

Panther sighed. “So you’ll continue leading her on.” He spoke in disapproval. “I think Elena’s might be good for you.”-

I frowned, ignoring his advice. I had been through a lot of bad shit in my life, but rejecting someone as perfect as Elena might’ve been the hardest thing I’d ever done. She wouldn’t understand, but I had to get back to work soon, and not getting her directly involved with the Castillo’s would only protect her.

These so-called business partners were good at going after the ones we loved to get their way, and I did not want them to go after Elena.Did I just confess my love for Elena?

“I know you’re worried about not being here to protect her all the time.” Panther continued, refusing to let go of the subject. “But things are different, and so are you. You seem more calm, relaxed—”

“Are you fucking stupid?” I asked, confused. Because I almost killed some guy on vacation.”

I will never forget the disappointed look on Elena’s face as I was only trying to help her.Was I selfish? Yes, undeniably. Elena was right to call me out. I had absolutely no right to control her life.

“I just think it’s sad that she is nearly throwing herself at you while you keep rejecting her.” Panther said. “If you don’t want her, I’ll take her—“

“Never,” I stated. I would rather die before seeing Elena with someone like Panther. Someone who had no respect for women, including my sister.

“I’m just saying, I don’t know what’s holding you back.” Panther spoke defensively. For someone who has known us for years, he was not exactly the brightest.
