His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 338

Elena

“Thank you for everything.” I sighed, thanking Lucas. If anything, I was most grateful to him for not asking too many questions.

“No problem.” He said. “I should thank you for protecting Tiago. I wouldn’t know how to live with myself if something happened to my little brother because of me.”

My little brother.

After coming to the mansion to supposedly take down the Castillos, he called Tiago his little brother and could see past his mistakes.

Perhaps if I told Marvin the truth, he could look past my mistakes.

No, Elena.

He wouldn’t

“I don’t know what happened, but you look tensed.” Lucas noticed, raising a brow. “Will you be alright?” He asked. “Are you alright—are you happy?”

Was I?

That was a question I didn’t have the answer to, and maybe it was because no one cared enough to ask me that question.

“Elena, are you okay?”

“Ye—”

“Elena?” The door opened, revealing Marvin. He looked at Lucas for a split second before wrapping his arms around my body. “Where were you?”

There was a time when I felt the most secure in Marvin’s arms, but now I wasn’t that sure anymore.

Seeing him kill a man in cold blood was not that surprising, but more so shocking. I knew he could do it- but I didn’t think he would actually do it.

“I was out.” I freed myself from Marvin’s grip and stepped back. “I’m okay, don’t worry.” My lips felt dry as I indirectly answered Lucas’ question.

“Then why weren’t you answering your phone?”

As a child in the middle of a scolding, I reached for my phone and scrolled through the endless missed calls. “I didn’t know.” I clarified. “Lucas and I were out, so I must’ve missed it.”

Lucas and I were out?

That was maybe not the best choice of words.

Marvin glared at his brother. “Thank you for bringing her back home, and I’m sorry for the trouble.”

“That’s what owners say when someone finds their dog Lucas chuckled, quickly noticing Marvin was not

amused in any way.

Judging by Lucas’ tone, I could tell his words were also pretty serious.
