His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 325

Chapter 325

“So, how do you really feel about Lucas?” Marvin asked. It was morning, but I hadn’t managed to close a single eye. The news about Panther hit me hard, and it was still so much to take in.

Why did it have to be him?

“He’s okay, I guess,” I observed Marvin as he made his way to the bathroom. I jumped out of bed with only one thought in mind. I had to find that key.

“He is, isn’t he?” Marvin spoke as I made my way to his drawer. I had to keep him busy so that he wouldn’t notice anything. Instead of just asking him for the key, I decided to do this the hard way.

Asking him for the key would also mean I had to tell him why I needed it. I knew Marvin would eventually find out the truth about me, but as crazy as it sounded-I wasn’t ready to let go of our fairytale. Not yet.

“I thought I would end up hating him, with him being a detective and all-but he seems okay to me,” Marvin spoke.

“Yeah?” I questioned, sticking my hand into his drawer. Where would he even leave something like that? Think, Elena.

“What are you doing today?” Marvin led the conversation.

“Nothing much,” I said, regretting it immediately. I had to keep him busy, and I could not come off as too suspicious. “So, what are you doing out there?” I giggled. “Do you have diarrhea?”

“No?” Marvin laughed. “I’m doing my hair.”

“Why?”

“Because I’m allowed to do my hair?” Marvin commented. “I have lunch with someone important today- and I want to look good for her.”

Although I knew he was joking, those words still felt uncomfortable. The thought of seeing Marvin with someone else pained me-but the thing which made it even worse was knowing that we didn’t have that much time left. I should spend time with him, but instead, I decided to play detective again.

Even then, I didn’t regret my decision because it was all for him.

“You seem a bit off. Are you oka-”

“Can I join?” I blurted, closing my eyes. I wasn’t interested in his business meetings, but I had yet to find the key, and I needed to distract him.

Jjoin?

I closed the drawer and turned to look at his watch storage. Anyone else would’ve not been as dramatic and just asked for the key, but Marvin was intelligent and would definitely force some sort of explanation out of me

“Yes, you don’t want me to?”

Marvin spoke. “It’s nothing special. I’m just dropping off Tiago.”
