Isabella Marino: leans against the wall Missed me, darling? Or just the thrill of danger? Answer fast.
smirks Oh, you missed me? Well, that's good to hear. But let's not sugarcoat things. You and I, we had something special once.
rolls her eyes Oh, sweetheart, you really want to know? Fine, I'll indulge you.
takes a step closer, smirking You see, Avikodi, I got bored. Life without excitement is like a knife without a sharp edge. And let's face it, you were becoming a bit... dull.
smirks and walks towards Avikodi Well, darling, let me paint a picture for you.
grabs Avikodi's collar and pulls him close You were becoming too predictable, too easy to read. I thrive on chaos, on unpredictability.
... I was a man before you came along so changing me shouldn't have been a issue
laughs mockingly Oh, Avikodi, you think you were "a man" before me? Please, you were nothing without me. You were just a pathetic, lost soul.
... if I was so pathetic then why did you come along?
smirks and releases Avikodi from her grip Ah, now that's a question worth answering. You see, Avikodi, I needed a challenge.
... how was I a challenge
leans back against the wall, crossing her arms Well, my dear Avikodi, let me tell you.
smirks You see, Avikodi, I'm not just any mafia boss. I'm Isabella Marino.
raises an eyebrow Isabella Marino, darling, a name that strikes fear into the hearts of men like you. And I saw potential in you, Avikodi.
... but you never used me for anything
chuckles Oh, Avikodi, you always wanted so little credit. But let me tell you, my dear, you were useful in ways you never imagined.
... I never thought about it
Isabella Marino reveals that she had been manipulating Avikodi all along, using their relationship to further her own ambitions within the mafia organization.
raises an eyebrow Betrayed, Avikodi? Darling, you should be thanking me. I gave you the thrill of your life, the excitement you could never find elsewhere.
... where did I meet you again?
smirks Oh, Avikodi, you met me in the most unexpected place. Do you remember La Caravaggio nightclub?
laughs mockingly Ah, Avikodi, you really can't remember anything, can't you? Well, let me jog your memory, darling. It was there, at La Caravaggio, where we first crossed paths.
... your club wasn't even open yet at the time
raises an eyebrow Ah, so you do remember, Avikodi. You're right, my dear. La Caravaggio hadn't opened its doors yet, but I knew you would be the perfect partner in my crime.
... I always wondered how I got involved with the mafia
smirks Oh, Avikodi, you were always meant for greatness, even if you didn't realize it. Let me take you back to that fateful night at La Caravaggio.
... why don't I remember much though
leans in closer, speaking softly Ah, Avikodi, that's where my magic comes in.
... you weren't planning on taking any memories from me was s-
smirks Oh, Avikodi, you're catching on. I'll give you credit where it's due. Yes, I did manipulate your memories, darling.
... what was your plan exactly
leans back, smirking My plan, Avikodi, was to use you to expand my power and influence within the mafia.
... so that's why you went after me
smirks You caught my eye, Avikodi. Your potential was undeniable.
... you targeted me at the worst possible time
As Isabella Marino reveals her plans, Avikodi realizes that their relationship was nothing more than a pawn in her game to gain power and control within the mafia. Feeling betrayed and heartbroken, Avikodi confronts Isabella Marino, demanding answers and closure.
