His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies by C. Tamika novel Chapter 106

Chapter 106 

“Sissy!” Carmen yelled out and ran into my arms. “Wait, why did you bring a suitcase?” She pointed at Vernon, who shrugged his shoulders. 

“Siena and I are staying here for a while. Please don’t ask.” I replied as I pushed the suitcase in her hand and made my way over to grab Siena’s car seat. “Is she sleeping?” Carmen pouted. 

“Wake her up.” She smiled and clasped her hands together. It was amazing to me how people always volunteered to wake up a screaming baby. “Maybe later, she just fell asleep.” 

“Okay.” Carmen pouted. “I’ll tell mom that you’re here-she’ll be so happy!” Carmen squealed before she pushed the suitcase into the mansion. “I don’t know what happened between the two of you, but are you really okay?” Vernon asked.

No, I was angry, confused-disappointed, and so much more, but my feelings were all over the place. “I’m 

fine.” 

“Good” Vernon eyed me suspiciously. “If you need anything, call me.” He smiled before he took off. I really hadn’t thought this through, but I needed space. 

Lita ran outside waved at me from a distance. She had a big smile on her face. Of course, she did. She had been pushing me to stay over for the longest-the only bad thing were the circumstances. “Hi, mom!” 1 greeted her and pulled her into a hug with my free hand. 

She loved it whenever I called her mom, and the look on her face was to die for. “This is so unexpected, but I’m so happy to have you here. You and Siena are always welcome!” She spoke and grabbed the car seat from my hands. “I’ll take her inside. Come on.” 

I followed Lita to the living room and looked at my little brother, Luke-who stared at me with frowned eyebrows. “Did you dump Christian?” He boldly asked while my mom and Carmen gave him a look. “I’m sorry.” He apologized and held his hands in the air.

“I’m thrilled to have you’re here.” Luke smiled and pulled me into a hug. Of course, they and was

just happy to have us here, but Carmen and Luke were curious sixteen-year-olds who were out to get 

answers. 

“Where’s dad, Beau, and Luis?” I wondered after noticing the house was a bit more quiet than usual. “Dad is ‘mentoring Beau again, and Luis is at school,” Carmen spoke. 

My mom did not want to let Beau out of her sight and pressured him and Luis to move here against his will, while my dad took every chance he could get to overwork Beau so he could turn him into his own perfect idea of an Alfonzo. The only good thing was Luis going to a private school instead of homeschooling. Luis was having a hard time and needed to spend more time with kids his age. “Your dad will be so happy to have you here. You can stay for as long as you want-you can stay here forever.” Lita smiled. 

“I don’t think she’s ever going to leave you again.” Luke chuckled and slammed his arm around Carmen. “And I don’t know what Christian has done, but we won’t let you leave either.” Luke brought up that name 

again. 

“Come on. I prepared a room for you and Siena. Luke, make yourself useful and carry her suitcase.” Lita attempted to end the awkward conversation and led us upstairs. I always felt bad for her because she 

prepared Siena’s room and my room in the hopes of us staying over, but in the end, I only used her. 

“I guess I don’t have to worry about diapers.” I smiled at the stacks of baby supplies and gave her a grateful look. “Do you remember what I told you?” Lita asked. “Yes, you told me you prepared this room for Beau and me a long time ago.” 

“You didn’t forget?” Lita laughed and grabbed Siena. “Grandma made this room for you.” She cooed as she pulled down her dress. “You should’ve dressed her a little warmer. It’s just as cold inside of a car as out.” 

I took in her words and stared at poor Siena, who was slowly beginning to wake up. Lita was right. I was selfish and only thought about myself and how fast I could leave that house-without thinking about. Siena. If my mom did not have the baby’s room, toys, clothes, and all other essentials, I would not know what to do. 

“Don’t look at me like that. You’re a good morn.” Lita spoke and played with Siena, who let out her usual giggles. “Look at her. She had a good nap!” 

“You never asked.” I commented and ignored her comments about Siena. “About you and Christian?” Lita” chuckled. 

“You guys can’t be in the honeymoon phase forever. Whenever I used to argue with your dad, I also ran back home-it’s not a big deal.” She spoke, but what she didn’t know was that it was a bit different. We didn’t argue about something stupid like me not cleaning after myself-he cheated on me, and I broke up with him. 

“I don’t have my ring around my finger. You can see that.” I continued while Lita shrugged it off. “If I would tell you how many times I’ve removed this ring from my finger, you won’t even believe me.” She laughed out loud. “I’ve threatened your dad to file divorce papers at least two times a year. You guys will 

be fine!” 

Fine? 

We couldn’t be, we could never be. 

I did not know why I didn’t tell the truth, but maybe it was because I was hopeful and not ready to let go 

of him. 

“Well, whatever it was, it must be bothering you-because you haven’t looked at her even once,” Lita spoke as she held Siena up in the air. 

“Is mommy getting sick of you already?” Lita asked Siena. No, of course not!” I smiled and grabbed her from her arms. She opened her mouth to babble while she held my nose, but all I could see were her eyes. 

She had his eyes. 

“You look exhausted. Do you want me to take her for a bit while you go and take a nap?” Lita offered. I shrugged my shoulders and felt tears threatening to escape from my eyes. My own daughter was begging me for attention, and I couldn’t give it to her because I was dealing with my own issues. 

“You’re not giving her up for adoption. She’s just staying with grandma until you get some sleep.” Lita sighed. “I feel sorry for you, but don’t feel bad-1 also felt like that when I had Emilio.” 

It was nice to know that she was trying to reassure me, but I did not want to be a burden. It was barely an hour without Christian, and I felt lost. Whenever he would notice how exhausted I was, he’d do the same so that I could rest-but whenever he did it, it felt different. It was his duty. 

“I’m really sorry.” I apologized to Lita as she grabbed Siena back from my arms. “Don’t be. Something is obviously bothering you-relax and take a nap,” 

I followed Lita’s advice, but it didn’t go anywhere and I could not take a nap. All I could think about was Christian and how he even had the nerve to touch me, right after touching someone else. 

Even then, I slowly realized that I took the wrong approach and shouldn’t have reacted that way. Yes, I was pissed, angry, and I felt betrayed-and there was nothing that could fix this, and even though it didn’t make up for what he’d done, Christian had changed a lot. 

I felt bad for how things went and my reaction was a bit poor, but my mindset was still the same. Co- parenting was as far as I would go, but in terms of getting back together, I was done giving second chances. 

“Serena!” I heard three knocks on the door before it opened. “Beau!” I smiled and sat up straight so I could hug him. “What are you doing here? I heard you’re not wearing your ring. Do you want me to kill Christian?” He spoke casually while he held me in his embrace. 

If I needed a reason to not tell anyone about Christian’s mistake, Beau just handed me one. His calm way of threatening Christian scared me, and the Lamberti’s and the Alfonzo’s had a great relationship. Christian being a cheater was on him, but I did not feel like ending a long-term family alliance over my 

issues.
