His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 312

Elena

“Elena, did you pack everything?” Marvin stuck his head through the door. I could not even begin to explain the surprise when Marvin practically forced me to pack my suitcases because we were moving.

The surprise didn’t end there because I had nearly lost my balance after Marvin told me that ‘officer’ Lucas was actually Mario’s Castillo’s son.I was not going to lie. That was enough for me to agree to move out as I did not want to get involved with family drama which did absolutely not concern me.

Tiago, on the other hand, was a different case, and I had yet to speak with him. “Yes, I’m ready!” I told Marvin, pushing my suitcases out the door.

I was still trying to wrap my head around this matter and could not believe a family was more dysfunctional than mine. “Wait…before we go….” I stopped in my steps.

Marvin turned around. “Yes?”

“Can I speak to Tiago?” I spoke, avoiding his eyes. I had to see Tiago, and he had to give me à name-there was no other way.

“Tiago?” Marvin spoke, stunned.

“Y-yes, I don’t think Linda would mind.” I made up. “I just want to say goodbye to him.”

I could sense a slight hint of annoyance. “Elena, we’re moving down the street,” Marvin argued. I looked at him with puppy eyes, refusing to back down, and surprisingly enough, it seemed to have worked.

“Okay, I’ll take you to him.” Marvin gave in. He forced my suitcases to one of the maids and grabbed my hand. “Thank you.”

“Don’t thank me.” Marvin sighed. “He’s in his old room, clearing out Anya’s stuff.”

Clearing out Anya’s stuff? It had been a while since Anya’s death, so it was understandable that Tiago could not find the courage.I felt bad for him.

“I have to warn you, though. He’s a bit sensitive.” Marvin spoke.

“We’ll be fine,” I reassured him as we stood in front of a closed door. Marvin eyed me suspiciously. “Hmm. okay.”

The same maid who used to guard Tiago’s room stood in front of the door and looked from me to Marvin. “Y-your brother doesn’t want anyone to disturb him, s-sir.” She managed to get out.She seemed to be afraid of Marvin.

“Tiago, you have a visitor!” Marvin knocked on the door, ignoring Tiago’s request. It remained silent, and there was no answer.

“It’s Elena?” Marvin tried once again before the door was opened, revealing Tiago. He stared at me with big eyes. “Is it true? Are you leaving?”

I released myself from Marvin’s grip and entered the room while Tiago closed the door in his face. “Not him. He annoys me.” He shook his head. “I can hear you!” Marvin called out.

Unfortunately, Tiago did not look good, and it was most likely due to lack of sleep. I bet he wasn’t that

happy with his new brother.

“Hey, Tiago.” I greeted him, pulling him into a hug. At least he showered, I guess. “How are you doing?”

“I want to give this to you. It was Anya’s.” Tiago grabbed a ballerina music box on the nightstand. “She was obsessed with this thing.” He smiled. “Which is why I want you to have it.”

Was he crazy?

“I-I can’t accept this!” I backed away. “You should keep it or bring it to her family-but I can’t accept this.”

Tiago scoffed. “Then it’s going into the trash because I can’t look at it any longer.” He spoke. “This stupid thing reminds me of her.”
