His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 320

“No, mom. I promise you-I’m fine!” Amelia spoke through the phone. I sat on the sofa, eavesdropping on her conversation, and couldn’t help but feel jealous.

She appeared to be having some kind of discussion with her mom, which almost reminded me of my dad How would he be doing?

Unfortunately, those were not my concerns anymore. It was the price I had to pay for being with Marvin, and I was willing to pay that price. When I got with Marvin, I knew what I signed up for.

When would Marvin be home?

He had been working since early in the morning, and I would lie if I said that I didn’t miss him. Although I wasn’t alone, the lack of company in this house was slowly getting to me.

“I’m so sorry you had to hear all of that,” Amy spoke, ending her phone call. “It was my mom, and you know how moms get.”

No, I don’t-because I don’t have a mom.

“Yes, don’t worry about it.” I faked a smile. “But she seems to be worried, is everything okay?”

“Amazing!” Amy nodded. “Because of Marvin, I get to take care of my family-and all of that while he actually meant to kill me.”

“What?”

“T-that’s clearly a joke.” Amy stammered, surprised. So he was supposed to kill her? I didn’t know whether to feel relieved that he didn’t or concerned because he was actually capable of doing so.

I had promised myself to stay away from all that cartel crap because it was probably for the best. I had to

“What’s with the look on your face? “I heard Marvin’s voice.

With a big smile, I turned around to face him, but that smile had quickly vanished as he covered his cheek. “Oh my god!” I stepped closer.

Curious, I grabbed Marvin’s hand to pull it away from his cheek, revealing a noticeable red bruise. “Who did this to you? What happened?” I asked as Marvin released a chuckle.
