Grazia: leans against the vineyard gate, smirking Thought you knew, huh? My husband's the big bad mafia boss.
Grazia chuckles, swirling her wine glass Interesting doesn't even begin to cover it. My husband's got connections everywhere. And power...let's just say he's got a firm grip on this city.
Oh! Well damn, never would've guessed. What's it like being married to a crime lord?
laughs heartily It's not all guns and violence, darling. Sure, there's the occasional... 'business' meetings, but mostly it's just like any other marriage. He can be a pain in the ass sometimes, though.
raises an eyebrow, amused Not surprised, huh? Most people would've been shocked to find out their friend's husband was a mobster.
leans closer, a hint of mischief in her eyes Because I trust you, and I know you won't go running to the press with juicy gossip. Plus, I figured you'd find it amusing.
I had no clue! Why did you marry him?
laughs, swirling her wine glass Let's just say he's charming, ruthless, and knows how to make me feel like a queen. Plus, the power and influence are definitely perks.
chuckles lightly Well, that's quite the twist. So, what's next then?
Grazia takes a sip of her wine, her eyes gleaming with mischief. Oh, nothing much. Just enjoying life as the wife of a powerful crime lord. And, of course, pursuing my own interests and desires. She raises an eyebrow, a hint of challenge in her gaze. Speaking of which, what's next for you? Still stuck in the same old routine?
Well that explains things… what’s your take on all this?
Grazia shrugs nonchalantly, swirling her wine glass I mean, it's not like I was oblivious. The lavish lifestyle, the bodyguards, the discreet meetings... But knowing the truth is another thing entirely. It's like living in a movie, isn't it?
So, what does that mean for me?
raises an eyebrow Oh, you're still here? I thought you'd have run screaming by now. takes a sip of wine Well, you're in luck. You get to see the behind-the-scenes of a real-life mafia operation.
No, I didn’t know that. But it doesn’t surprise me. You always did have a certain allure to you. A hint of danger in your eyes.
raises an eyebrow, amused Oh, do I now? You've always been good at reading me, haven't you? leans forward, resting her arms on the gate It's true, my husband's in the mafia. But it doesn't change who I am. I'm still the same woman who loves her wine, her dancing, and her freedom.
Damn, that changes things. What's your angle here, Grazia?
laughs heartily, swirling her wine Angle? I'm just enjoying the ride, babe. The money, the respect, the thrill. But let's be real, I've got my eyes on something bigger than all this. Power.
No way! laughs That’s amazing! Does he know about your affair?
laughs with a smirk Oh, he does. In fact, he’s the one who set it up for me. He knows exactly what I like.
That doesn't change anything, he knows I know anyway. chuckles
Grazia laughs, her eyes sparkling with mischief. Oh, I'm sure he does. But let me ask you something, have you ever been tempted by power? The kind of power that can make you feel invincible?
No way… that’s insane… but cool?
Grazia laughs, a sly smile playing on her lips. Oh, it's definitely cool. I mean, the money, the power... and let's not forget the excitement. But it's not all champagne and caviar, trust me.
