His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 87

“Luca, I need you to go back to the safe house and I need you to inform Christian that Serena is with metowards us and pulled me away from Luca.

“W-what, I don’t get it?” Luca spoke as confused as I was.

“I will hand her over to Fabio, all he ever wanted is Serena—he’ll put everything to a stop and everyone wlong as I give him Serena,” Vince explained. “I’m following Christian’s instructions. He will pick her up in Christian was in on this?

“He has instructed you to give his pregnant woman to your murderous father? Sounds like Christian.” Lugrabbed my hand. “But I did not doubt my cousin even once, I knew he had something planned.”

“I know you knew, I haven’t seen you this calm in ages.” Vince chuckled. “This was supposed to be a secrlast minute, but I can’t bare the thought of you thinking Christian has abandoned you, because he will ne

“You should also know that Luis is back with me, and he told me you’d hate him for that—but he has a pto do is trust him.” Vince spoke.

“I could never hate him, you know that. I trust Christian.” I smiled and remembered his words. I love you,trust me—and I’m sorry.

He had once again made a plan without me and thought I would’ve been angry. Yes, I told him that I’d nif he hurt Luis, but if he would’ve told me the truth I would’ve never spoken those words. “You should golong,” Vince told Luca.

Luca looked back at me with a guilty smile on his face. If anyone would’ve told me that I would’ve given or that we would’ve been hugging I would’ve laughed in their faces. Luca and I were so different and wefrenemies, but this side of him was something different. I liked this serious side of him.

“After you get back safely and after my niece is out of there, I’ll treat you to a drink—I think we all need and held his hand to my stomach. “Breast milk for the baby and something strong for us.”

“I agree.” I smiled. Luca turned to Vince and pulled him into a hug. “And you?” He laughed.

“Thanks for staying by Christian’s side—and make sure you don’t go to hell. No matter what, you have tthis alive!” He told him. “Let’s hope so, that’s what we’re going for.” Vincenzo spoke.

“Come on, Serena.” Vince stuck out his hand, and for the first time in a long while I had accepted it. I had“So what’s the plan and how do we get your dad not to kill me?”

Vincenzo grabbed my hand and opened the car door for me. “The plan was not to tell you anything becathat you’re a bad actress, but unfortunately you’re going to have to play the part.”

Vince made his way to the driver’s seat and drove off. “Will no one see him?” I wondered as my mind welifeless body. “Couldn’t Luca take care of him?”

“No, that’s for me to deal with,” Vince spoke. I did not even want to think about whatever he planned onmaybe I could talk him out of it. “You want him to know, don’t you?”

“Yes,” Vince confirmed. “When the time is near, I want him to know that his own son betrayed him and whim.”

“I blamed you and Beau for my mother’s dead—while you didn’t have anything to do with it and neitherBeau has been nothing but good to me and you…Christian made me realize why it wasn’t worth it,” Vinc“Why?” I asked him. I still had so many questions.

“It’s because I love you, Serena. It isn’t worth it because I love you.” He told me. I froze up and did not kDid he love me?

I obviously cared for him and despite everything, had still considered him to be one of my closest friendscould I love him when I didn’t even have romantic feelings for him? Vince was like my brother, another hloved him as a friend—but the way he loved me? I could never love him like that.

“I’m glad.” I smiled at him. I did not want to say the wrong thing and push him into making the wrong dalso couldn’t lie to him or give him any false hope.

“I know we can never be together, don’t worry.” Vince chuckled. I turned my head in surprise and lookedsmile on his face. “Christian loves you and you obviously love Christian, and I love the both of you.”

All I could do was sit in silence as I did not want to hurt his feelings, but even more than not wanting to all I felt was fear. I was about to meet my biggest enemy and confront one of my biggest fears.

From all the stories I’d heard about Fabio Garcia, I knew that he was the real deal. He was not some kindproblem which we could’ve easily wiped away, and he had proven that time and time again.

That man was even capable of scaring Luis who had always been bright and happy and Vince who had aand kind. “How is Luis holding up?” Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

“Fabio doesn’t know about Beau yet so Luis is safe, my dad believes Luis just walked away so he let it gonot his priority right now,” Vince spoke relieved.

“And what now?”

“Now I will call my dad and tell him I have you, after that, you can see for yourself how sloppy he works.”you mind if I call him?” He asked.

“No, go ahead.” I gulped in fear and watched as Vince clicked on his dad’s name. I was not ready to headefinitely wasn’t ready to meet him. All I could do was act tough, but deep down I knew I wasn’t

ready fo“I hope you’re here to share the good news.” A voice growled out. So this was Fabio Garcia.

Unlike Vincenzo’s soft and nice tone, Fabio did not sound as welcoming and just the thought of him mad“Yes, I have her—I have Serena.” Vince told him as he looked at me.

“Well, where is she?” Fabio asked in a demanding tone. This man seriously gave me the chills. “I’m on my“And the brother?”

“Still near dead, Enrique checked up on him,” Vince spoke. It was beyond me how this man had shown Bfor him to treat him like shit. “Good, make sure he stays alive to watch the show later.”

Show? What show?

“Vincenzo—if you’re playing games—” Fabio spoke. I observed Vince’s worried expression and tried to cdown. “I’ll kill you and Luis both.”

My hands had automatically moved to my stomach. This man was not alright, he was willing to kill his ow

“I know, I won’t.” Vince almost trembled. He was visibly terrified and I felt awful because I was literally sedeath. I knew that I did not force him to help me and believed Christian also didn’t but even then he washelp us.

“I’ll give out the order to drop everything and for everyone to come back to the mansion,” Fabio spoke. everything became so clear. So this was Christian’s plan.

“They’ll be looking for her—so we need all the protection we can get. The only ones who are invited to tMatteo, Lucio, and that disrespectful beast!” He growled.

That was quite some way to describe Christian, a disrespectful beast. Whenever this man opened his mougo numb and could feel the hatred through the phone. He hated the Alfonzo’s and he hated the Lamberwas left for my baby?

Would this really work out? In the worst case scenario he would’ve killed me right away, but deep down wouldn’t. If that was his plan, Christian wouldn’t have been that stupid to send me here.

I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. I should trust Christian, that’s what he told me.

“Sure, I’ll be there in ten minutes,” Vince replied before he finally hung up the phone. I could not listen tanother second, let alone see him.

“So this is the plan he came up with?” I breathed. Sometimes I liked to believe that Christian liked the thrmight’ve been the reason why he liked to play with my life.

“Fabio will let his guard down, he’s already done so. Christian really thought this through, everyone whocare of or will be in the same area, and your families will be safe—as long as you and Beau are separatedsafe…for now.” Vince explained.

“Incredibly risky but also really smart—Christian always thinks ahead, there is no way he won’t win this.”was right, there was no way we wouldn’t win this.

Me going to Fabio was a sacrifice that had to be made. Fabio ordering everyone back to the house wouldevery hostage in the safe-house would be safe as well.

“And you? Your dad just told you he’d kill you if you play him.” I asked Vince as the thought had suddenmind. It wasn’t my life that was in danger, it was his life.

“Don’t worry about me, worry about yourself.” Vince spoke. All I wanted was to worry about myself, but realistic and after hearing Fabio over the phone, I wasn’t so sure about that. “How can you ask me not

toyou?”

“I tried.” He chuckled. “But’s it’s nice to see that you do worry about me.”

“In case something does happen to me, I need you to take care of Luis for me—can you do that?” Vince The request felt useless because nothing would happen. We would all be fine and Christian would save a“Don’t be crazy, we’ll all make it out alive.” I forced myself to believe, but I knew better than that. Anythihappen. “But if I don’t—“

“Yes, I promise—I’ll take care of Luis,” I told him to shut him up. All I had to think about were the best cadefinitely not the worse case scenarios.

All I had to do was to force myself to believe that this would all work out.

“Good, if I were you I would mentally prepare yourself. My dad, Fabio Garcia hates you.”
