His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 327

Elena

“Who’s there?”

I planted a smile on my lips and brushed my hair to the side. “It’s me, Elena!” I smiled at the security

camera.

It was a long time since I had seen Victoria, and I wanted her to know that I was doing completely fine without her. Well, except for the part where I needed her assistance to access Anya’s evidence.

“Door’s open!”

I entered the apartment and cleared my throat as Victoria leaned against the wall with a smug smirk on her lips. “Where’s your boy toy?” She folded her arms. “Or wait, he can’t know about me, of course- because your entire life is based on a lie-”

“Victoria, please.” I rolled my eyes. “I come in peace.”

We stared at each other for a few more seconds before she flew into my arms. “I missed you so much!” She cooed. “Please don’t worry me like that ever again.

“Come on, let me look at you!” She rested her hands on my shoulders. I knew she thought I wasn’t in the right state of mind, and I knew she pitied me-but I didn’t care. It didn’t have to be a bad thing.

“You look skinnier.”

“Do I?”

“Yes, are these people even feeding you?”

“Yes?” I walked past Victoria and took a seat on her comfortable sofa. I had really missed this.

“So, how is life?” Victoria joined me. For the first time in weeks, I took a good look at my friend and noticed how much she had changed. Her platinum blonde hair fell perfectly over her shoulders and was straightened to perfection.

“Good.”

“Yeah?” She seemed doubtful. “And how is…Marvin?”

“Good.” I nodded a bit too enthusiastically. “He’s good we’re good.”

“And is he treating you well?” She continued her interrogation. I gave her a nod.

“You know, your dad and Alex really miss you.” Victoria vouched for them. “If you don’t want to be friends with me, that’s okay-but you should never let go of family for a guy…a criminal above all.”

Our dads were close, so of course, she would choose his side. No one could understand my feelings because no one was willing to listen. At least they didn’t ran to the Castillo’s to tell them about my family history.

“My dad almost hit me, Victoria!” I stated. “He really took it too far this time.”

“I know. I’m sorry.” Victoria sighed. “George shouldn’t have done that.” She agreed. “But someone like

Marvin could also really hurt you one day.”
