His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 346

Marvin

I was in Lucas’ car, on the way back to the Castillo estate. We had already been driving for a long time, an uncomfortable vibe swinging in the air as no one knew what to say. Each second stretched into minutes, and eventually into hours.

The only noise was the sound of the radio.

How could I say something, when I had yet to process everything. In a span of 24 hours, I was forced to make a decision, and lost someone who I thought was my friend.

My brother betrayed me.

I had lost Elena.

There was nothing to say.

“Tiago, as far as everyone’s concerned, you didn’t see anything today, and nothing happened today. ” 1 instructed, my voice cutting through the suffocating silence. As Tiago had already revealed, he didn’t always used his brains. “You saw nothing, you know nothing.”

Tiago remained silent as I continued. “And you keep this from our father, Tiago. He must never find out…that you betrayed me.” The words almost made me chuckle. “I will deal with it. I’ll tell him that Panther betrayed us, threatened us-so I had to take care of it. Done.”

“Marvin, L…” Tiago spoke hesitantly, but I was in no mood for his attempts at reconciliation. Whatever happened, happened, and there was nothing that could fix this. Nothing.

I cut him off. “You should also never speak to me again, Tiago. We are brothers in name, but that’s as far as it’ll go. My decision was final. The bond between us, which had already strained, had finally snapped. “Do you understand me?”

“I do and I’m sorry.” Tiago whispered, his voice filled with guilt.

“I don’t need your apologies, I scolded him. “It’s Anya you should be sorry to. Live on for her. Do something worthy of her memory.”

That poor girl had lost her life over nothing, and that was on him. He should’ve never made her worry about him in the first place.

Tiago nodded, knowing the only thing he could do was take in my words.

Lucas knew better than to answer. See, all he had to do was drive and keep his mouth shut.

Some time later Tiago fell asleep in the backseat. How he could sleep through all of that? I truly had no idea, but I guess everything dealt with their trauma differently.

He had just heard Panther got Anya killed.

He had killed Panther himself.

And now he was napping.

“You know.” Lucas cleared his throat, being the last person I wanted to talk to, I didn’t hate him nor cared

for him, really-but seeing him with Elena did something to my heart, and I could tell by his face, that whatever he was about to say-would be about her.

“Elena was worried about you. She has always been worried about you.”

“Hmm.” I hummed, pretending to be uninterested. “How is she doing?” I mumbled.

“You broke her, Marvin.” Lucas said. “I know she lied, but you should know she did it for a good reason. She did it because she didn’t want any of this to happen.”

“I didn’t make her fall for me. She’s the one who decided to do that.” The words felt heavy as they left my mouth. It was a truth I had come to accept. “If anything, I tried to push her away because I thought I would be the one to hurt her, but—“
