His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies by C. Tamika novel Chapter 265

Chapter 265

“I don’t have words.” Mario Castillo shook his head in disapproval.

I knew my dad wouldn’t be happy with the decision to call agent Clover to arrest Danny Hernandez, but I could not let that man walk free any longer.

“Tiago’s wedding is in a few days, and you’re pulling crazy stunts as if getting released from prison wasn’t already enough.” My dad growled out.

“I did what I had to do, and I saved all of those girls, so I don’t care what you think of me.”

“And we were about to throw him to the wolves anyway, so what does it matter?” I chuckled. “The issue has already been taking care of.”

“Yes, and now they know that we have something to do with it!” Victor agreed with my dad. To be honest, I didn’t even know why he was in the conversation. He wasn’t even a real part of the family.

“You?” I laughed, confused. That was one funny statement, considering I had to carry the burden of being a rat. “So everyone can see me like a rat, but they can’t see any of you as a rat?“

“That’s not what I meant.”

“Then what did you mean?” I snapped. Mario Castillo, who always loved a good fight, looked back and forth between Victor and me, but I wasn’t going to fall for it. Not this time.

“Am I free to go? I would like to spend my time with Tiago…my only brother.” I spoke as I looked into Victor’s eyes. Victor barely cracked, but I could see the hurt expression behind his eyes. That’s what I wanted. I wanted to break him. He must’ve felt comfortable because I was locked up, but I was back, and things were going to change.

I would be the head of the family, and Victor should know his place.

“You’re free to go,” Victor gulped. I held my hand in the air to stop him and pulled a disgusted look. “I’m not asking you.”

My dad smacked his hands on the table and laughed as if he was Santa on Christmas eve. “He has chang a lot, hasn’t he?” He laughed at Victor. “I heard he was well-respected in prison.”

“Dad, can I go?”

“You’re free to go.” He motioned his hands towards the door. I turned around and walked out without giving my dad as much as a single glance. This man was ridiculous, and everyone knew it, except for himself.

He had never treated me the way he should’ve, so one could only imagine how he treated poor Tiago.

“That Victor has a lot to say, hasn’t he?” Panther stirred the pot. If there was anyone who deserved the title of trouble-maker, it had to be Panther, but he was right this time.

“Has he been like this the entire time?” I wondered. I knew he always acted as if he was some higher up.

but I had never remembered him being this comfortable in our household. Better yet, I had never remembered him disrespecting me.

“He’s been like this since the day you got locked up.” Panther explained. “Mario thought you’d be locked up for life, so he promised Victor the family business.”

“He did what!” I yelled out, but before I could cause any more commotion, Panther slammed his hand in front of my mouth. “Not that loud, idiot.” He whispered. “It’s not confirmed, but it’s what the guys have been saying.”

I took a relieved breath and gave Panther a nudge against his shoulder. Panther was the type of guy to get people killed with these weird statements. Mario Castillo was all about family, so I was sure he would rather hand the business over to Tiago instead of Victor.

“So we’re going to Tiago?” Panther asked, but I immediately shook my head. “Nah, he doesn’t want to see

me.”

“You’re right. He doesn’t.”

It was only an excuse to get my dad off my back, and now that it had been taken care of, I would enjoy my freedom and spend my day as I wanted. “Have you seen my mom around?”

“Some things never changed.” Panther mocked me. “After all these years, you’re still a mama boy.”
