His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 314

“I’m going to tell Elena the truth…all of it,” I told Panther. Even though I would never say it out loud, his opinion mattered to me the most. Yes, he was stupid-but he could be wise when he needed to be.

I said I would take my distance from Elena, but that was impossible-especially after living in a house with her. Denying my feelings was not an option anymore, but neither was lying to her. The only thing holding me back from making a move was the lie.She deserved to know the truth.

After seeing the breakfast she prepared for me, I could only feel guilty. I rejected her, but she didn’t care. She still went above and beyond to show me how much she cared. All I wanted was to do the same.

I didn’t even want to leave her, but Mario Castillo, who thought it would be great to start me off with small errands, had sent me on a task to pay a random visit at some of our smaller drug labs.

“Sorry?” Panther tightened his hands around the wheel. He kept his eyes on the road, but even then, it was not difficult to miss the tensed expression on his face.

“You told me to be honest with my feelings…..so I’m going to tell her everything.” I repeated.

Panther laughed as if I was crazy. “I hope you’re talking about your romantic feelings and not anything -else!”

“No, I’m not just talking about that,” I spoke in a serious tone. “I’m going to tell her everything…about the Castillo’s.”

“Boss…Marvin…” Panther did not know how to approach me. “Do you really think that’s a good idea?”

Why was this even bothering him?Yes, I asked for his advice-but only so he could agree with me. “Why does it seem to bother you that much?”

“It’s n-nothing!” Panther shook his head. “It’s your call. You can do whatever you want. I’m just telling you to be careful.” He said. “You can tell Elena you want her without telling her the full truth.”

Haven’t I told her enough lies?

“Anyway.” I dropped the subject. “I don’t want you to think I dragged you away from Cisco-”

“I know, don’t worry about it.” Panther spoke. Since my own dad was bad enough to be satan, I wanted nothing more for my nephew than for him to have a great relationship with his dad.

“Good,” I spoke. “Not living in one house anymore shouldn’t be an excuse to be a bad father just so you know.”

“I know, don’t worry.” Panther said. “And I’m sorry for being nosy, but did you hear anything back about the DNA results?”
