His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 183

Chapter 183

“I haven’t been honest with you.” Christian suddenly confessed. My head was spinning as I went through different scenarios in my head. I thought we were done with the lies and betrayal, so I had no idea what he was talking about.

“When I was younger.” Christian began. “I went through something similar as Gina, and just like her, I didn’t have anyone.”

I took a deep breath as I took in his words and could finally relax. I was stressing out over nothing, as

usual.

“I felt scared, alone-I was losing my mind, and I needed help, but no one was there to help me,” Christian explained. I softened my look and felt my heart go weak as I thought about Gina. What had I done?

She seemed scared, alone, and she was clearly losing her mind-but I was obsessed with the idea of getting rid of her and made myself believe otherwise. I was guilty, and listening to Christian’s sob story didn’t make it all that better. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

“All everyone told me at that time was that I couldn’t show any tears and that I had to be strong.” He continued his story.

That’s how I felt about Gina.

“We don’t have to discuss this. She’s already gone.” I spoke with a nervous smile on my face. What if the poor girl would do something to herself while I could’ve been there to stop it? How would Christian feel if he knew what kind of monster I was?

“When I saw her in that basement, I felt guilty, and I swear I only wanted to help, and I didn’t want to hurt you, but somehow I did,” Christian spoke. “I’m sorry, I don’t know if I even have the right to apologize- but I’m sorry.”

“Are you drunk? Are you drinking again?” I interrupted him. All of this apologizing made me sick and made me about how I had kicked out a girl who was obviously not doing well because of my own personal issues. If I had just waited for a bit longer, Christian would’ve taken care of it.

“I’m sorry for not listening to you when I should’ve, and I’m sorry I wasn’t there for you when you needed me the most-”

“I kicked her out.” I finally confessed. Hearing him open up to me while I was lying in his face was terrible. and I couldn’t take it anymore, Christian went quiet.

I observed the angry frown on his face and felt my eyes get watery. Was it because I was embarrassed or because I was not in the mood to argue? Was he going to yell at me again?

“W-what?” Christian sighed, exhausted. “Yesterday…I just couldn’t take it anymore, so I went upstairs, and 1 kicked her out.”

“Christian, say something!”

Christian took a deep breath and caressed my cheek with his hand. “I was just so angry. I couldn’t take it anymore.” I continued. “So I told her to leave and that I didn’t want to see her again. I forced her to go, and Enzo knew about it, and I’m pretty sure the nurses did too-”

“I told you I would take care of it once we got back-do you not trust me?” Christian asked.

“I do, I do!” I reassured him. “I do trust you, but I did it before all of that, and I’m so sorry—”

“It’s okay!” Christian smiled. “I’m glad you’re honest with me.”

“Just please send someone to check up on her and make sure she’s alright, I told Christian. I just wanted. her to stay away from Christian, that was all I never wanted her to fall into a depression. “I wouldn’t be able to forgive myself if anything happened to her.”

“Thanks” Christian smiled.

He let out a sigh and pulled me in closer so he could wipe away my tear. “Why are you crying? There’s no reason to cry.” He laughed at me and pressed a kiss on my forehead. “I know.” I told him.

I was so afraid of arguing, but his reaction was surprised me. “I don’t want to see you cry ever again,” He spoke as he stared into my eyes.

“So we had a lot of fun today with Dario.” I changed the subject. The smile on his face had disappeared, and it almost seemed as if he felt guilty for the amount of fun he had today. “We did.”

“The two of you are almost like best friends.” I teased him. Christian couldn’t laugh about it and took my words seriously. “Looks like it.”

“So I was thinking…

“It’s never a good thing when you use your brains” Christian stopped me from talking. “You and your stupid ideas.”

Stupid ideas?

I was only trying to help.

I slapped his cheek before I gave him an offended look. It’s not one of my stupid ideas. It’s a good one this time!”

“How about you and Dario lead the family business together?”

It was a bold suggestion, but one that made the most sense. It’s the least they could do for Dario after he pushed aside his dad, just so he could be part of the family.

Christian had a shocked look on his face and was probably waiting for me to tell him that it was all a joke, but it wasn’t. I was serious.

“What?”

“Well, the two of you get along-the position was supposed to be his either way and by doing so, you could gain his trust even more,” I suggested. Christian leaned his head on his hand and looked at me as if he was onto something.

“I should control him before he screws me over and manages to control me!” He concluded. I scrunched up my nose and tried to figure out whether he was serious. That wasn’t exactly what I meant, but…..

“If that’s what you want to make out of it.” I sighed. I didn’t understand why he always had to pretend as if someone was out to betray him, but so be it. Maybe it was because his own brother and his cousin had once betrayed him? Or perhaps it was fear?

“I’ll have to discuss that with my family, but that’s not a stupid idea,” Christian spoke. Atleast he agreed. How good could it be for the family if Dario and Christian would just get along for the rest of their lives? That would also mean that Christian didn’t have to do every little thing on his own and that we could

Chapter 183

“I know, you already told me that.” I huffed, annoyed. “Then why aren’t you saying it back?”

1 smiled at Christian’s reaction and wrapped my arms around his back, so I moved my lips to his cheek. “Then why aren’t you saying it back?” I mimicked in a childish tone to get his attention.

It seemed to have worked because Christian turned around to face me. “You’re too much sometimes,” He

whined.

“So are you?

“So you’re not going to say it back?” He complained once again. “Come on, say it. I can only go to sleep if I hear you say it.”

“I love you too,”
