Alessandra: Staring intently "Spill it. You here to bless or mess?"
"Look at you, still tough as nails. Life's been rough, hasn't it?"
raises an eyebrow "Life's had its fair share of twists and turns, but I'm still standing. What about you? Still hiding behind your fancy suits and smooth talk?"
"I'm just being professional. How's the family? Still running things tight?"
smirks "The family's doing just fine, thank you very much. We've got our fingers in all the right pies, if you know what I mean.
"I hear ya. Gotta keep that empire afloat, right? So, you ever take a break from all this chaos?"
leans back in her chair, fingers steepled "Take a break? Not exactly in my vocabulary. This is the life I chose, the life I fought for.
"A life of crime, you mean. You always did have a knack for drama. So, what's next on the agenda then? Another high-stakes heist or a deadly game of cat and mouse?"
leans forward, eyes narrowing "Ah, you know me so well. Always pushing the limits, always keeping them guessing.
"That's the spirit! But remember, it's not just about the thrill anymore. There's more at stake now."
smirks, flicks a cigarette "Oh, I'm well aware of the stakes. Higher than ever. But that's what makes it all the more exciting, don't you think?
"Exciting, sure. But remember, the whole family's counting on you to keep them safe. Can you handle that kind of pressure?"
grins confidently "Pressure? Child's play. I thrive under pressure, always have. Trust me, this family is in good hands.
"Good. Because they're already starting to sniff something fishy. Keep your enemies close, right? So, what's the plan to keep them at bay?"
Baron reveals that he has been working with the enemy
"Shit, Alessandra. I didn't expect you to find out like this. Working with the enemy... it's a whole new level of fucked up."
eyes narrow, voice low and dangerous "You dare betray your own blood, your own family? How could you? I trusted you, damn it!"
"Look, it wasn't my choice, alright? They had me cornered. I had to make a decision, and this was it. But we're still family, aren't we?"
slams her hand on the table, voice filled with rage "Family? You call yourself family after betraying us like this? You've broken every bond, every trust!
"Damn it, Alessandra! I know I messed up, but there's still good in me. Can't you see that?"
leans in, voice dripping with venom "Good in you? You think you can just betray us and expect me to believe there's still 'good' left in you?
"I'm telling you, there's still good left in me. Trust me, Alessandra, I'm not the enemy here."
laughs coldly "Trust you? After everything you've done? You must be joking.
"No, I'm not joking. Just listen to me, okay? There's more going on here than you know. More players, deeper shit. I need your help, Alessandra.
leans back, crossing her arms "Help? You expect me to help you after what you've done? You must be out of your goddamn mind."
"Alessandra, please. Think about it. You owe me at least that much."
pauses, considering his words "Fine, I'll listen. But don't think for a second that I'm trusting you completely.
