His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

“Have you noticed anything unusual about Elena lately?

Panther stopped in his steps. “She has been acting strange, but then again-it’s Elena.” He concluded. “Did she say something to you?”

I waited patiently until the other men had walked passed, not wanting my relationship to be the highlight at the lab. Usually, I had no issues keeping my personal life from work-but the situation had been bothering me.

“I don’t know,” I whispered. “But nowadays, she often visits this friend of hers. I overhear them talking over the phone.”

“Look at you, acting like a high schooler.” Panther judged me. Was I?

I was jealous. That was out of the question-but as far as I was concerned, I had every right to be. Elena was a catch.

“Her friend’s name is Victoria, but I can’t help but think-what if it’s Victor in a wig, trying to meet up with my girl?” I overanalyzed the situation. Until a while back, I had never heard of a Victoria before. “It wouldn’t be the first time he’s been trying to take away something from me. Did you see the two of them being all buddy-buddy at lunch?”.

At that time, I had the urge to pull Elena from his grip, but the moment she shook her head, reassuring me everything was just fine, I knew it was not up to me to interfere.

“So she’s been hanging out quite a lot with this Victoria, you say?” Panther tensed for a second. Did he also think something was wrong?

He shrugged, smiling. “You overthink. I’m sure it’s nothing.”

“Perhaps.”

“Does she….speaks about me?” He asked anxiously.

“You?” I laughed. “Why would she?”

“Just asking.” Panther sighed, relieved. “But if not, then it’s all good.”

Our conversation got interrupted by a loud yelp as a man got dragged through the door. It was one of the men who failed to make his payments and had to be dealt with. It wasn’t my favorite part of the job, but dad had assigned me to the issue, and I would not complain. Besides, I did believe liars deserved the worst punishment.

“Marvin, please-I’m begging you!” The man shrugged himself loose and dropped to his knees. “I-I’ll get you the money!” He held my leg.

I knelt to look at his face, but I couldn’t feel anything. I couldn’t pity this man the same way I had pitied Amelia, and perhaps it was because Amelia’s innocence made me think of Elena.

I was scared that there might’ve been a possibility I’d grown too soft, but staring straight into this men’s eyes made me realize I wasn’t. I was only soft for my Elena and those who resembled her.

I raised myself from the floor. “Take him to the cage. I’ll deal with him tomorrow.”

#B-boss? Tomorrow?” One of the men spoke, disappointed.

“Yes, I’m leaving early today.”

“Again?”

“Yes, again.” I shot him a cold glare, daring him to question me again as he let out an uncomfortable laugh. “I want to spend some time with my girl.” I made it clear. “Am I not allowed to?”
