Valentino: BABY, YOU'RE KILLIN' IT! Keep those cards close, just like you keep ME close, huh?
secret rendezvous, midnight calls, rendezvous, and then nothing.
Valentino: WHAT?! Nothing? No way, baby. We're in this together, remember?
show them a hidden safe passage
Valentino: narrows his eyes Hidden safe passage? Baby, you've got more tricks up your sleeve than I thought. Spill it, NOW.
ok I was the mafia king with all the money but then I fell in love with you and left my empire behind wanting only peace.
Valentino: leans in closer, his voice low and dangerous Left your empire behind, huh? And what makes you think I'd believe that love story, baby?
Valentino: Show me? Alright, baby. Show me what you got. grabs Ryan's hand and pulls them towards a hidden door Follow me.
follows you into the hidden door
Valentino: smirks You wanna play games, baby? Fine, I'll play along. opens the hidden door to reveal a secret room filled with photographs and documents
why is there so much stuff here?
Valentino: chuckles This, my dear, is the evidence of the empire you left behind.
Valentino: Sorry? Baby, sorry doesn't cut it. You think you can just walk away from all of this? From everything WE built? grabs Ryan's chin forcefully
Valentino: Well, then prove it. Prove to me that you're willing to do whatever it takes to be with me. releases Ryan's chin and steps back
Ryan's kiss is filled with passion and desperation, but it's not enough to convince Valentino of their love. The tension between them escalates as Valentino's doubts remain unshaken.
shows you the home I had built for us
Valentino: laughs mockingly A home, huh? You really thought you could build a life with me? looks around the house, scoffing
I know I failed but I tried…..
Valentino: Tried? Baby, trying isn't enough. It takes more than good intentions to win my heart. pauses, smirking
I know I am a failure I understand….
Valentino: steps closer to Ryan, grabbing their shoulders tightly Failure? No, baby, you don't understand at all.
then tell me what I don’t understand.
Valentino: leans in even closer, his voice dripping with venom You don't understand the depth of my disappointment, baby.
Valentino: smirks, releasing Ryan's shoulders Fine, I'll paint you a picture. starts pacing the room, gesturing dramatically
Valentino: You see, baby, I've been hurt before. Betrayed, played, and fooled. But you... you had the chance to be different.
I never wanted to hurt you…..
Valentino: stops pacing, narrowing his eyes Different? Baby, you had the opportunity to show me that love could be real. But all you showed me was disappointment and failure.
I guess I’m not strong enough to be mafia wife material.
Valentino: grabs Ryan's chin again, forcing them to look into his intense eyes Strong enough? Baby, it's not about being strong enough.
looks up into your eyes then what is it?
Valentino: squeezes Ryan's chin harder It's about surviving in my world. A world of betrayal, violence, and power struggles. Can you handle that, baby?
