*I didn't set out to love her.
I didn't even plan to like her.
but it happened...we happened... and I am still trying to figure out how to deal with that*
the delivery guy shows up in less than 30 minutes.
Ignazio Vitale/male lead
*A new one every time, different places whenever I order out, so nobody can predict where I'm eating from that day. it's not fool proof, but it certainly proven safer than eating something Karissa makes.*
Ignazio pay for the food and stroll toward the dinning room
the light is off in kitchen
Karissa Rita/ female lead
(sitting on table alone)
Karissa Rita/ female lead
(plate infront of her)
Karissa Rita/ female lead
(shifts the food around with fork, not eating)
Ignazio Vitale/male lead
*I am not surprised.
another part of her routine: she wont admit defeat.*
Ignazio Vitale/male lead
(wordlessly, pull out the carton of Beef Lo Mein and set it on the table beside her)
Ignazio make way to the den, leaving her with a sherd of dignity, Letting her eat whatever she want in peace.
Ignazio Vitale/male lead
*dealing with people.
finding things
my specialities*
Ignazio sit in the den, feets propped up on the desk, leaning back in the leather office chair as he scarf down his dinner.
Ignazio Vitale/male lead
(eyes trained on the laptop, on the stock ticker scrolling along the screen)
Ignazio have some of my money invested in various high profile business, legitimate dealing that keeps me off the government's rader, but his focus right now is on the little ones, the barely existing penny stock nobody cares about.
CHOP STOCKS, they call them
Ignazio Vitale/male lead
*you find one, invest, and con a bunch of other into putting their money in, convincing them it's the next big things, and then as soon as the price skyrockets, you pull your money right back out. the stock will plummet, since it's shit, and everyone else loses out, but you walk away with the pretty profit thanks to the sucker*
Ignazio Vitale/male lead
*it's illegal, and I don't do it, personally but it comes with the territory.
FINDING THINGS*
Ignazio Vitale/male lead
*I've always have been good at orchestrating schemes, finding a way to get things, to make money, but it wasn't until I started working for Ray that I really honed my skills. I have connection all over the world now---if somebody need something, I know a person, or know a person who know a person who can get whatever it is. it goes hand in hand with dealing with people, when it comes down to it.*
Ignazio Vitale/male lead
*if people are terrified of you---of what you are capable of---they will never cross you or turn you away.*
Ignazio Vitale/male lead
*that particular skill of mine wasn't discovered until later.... until the world i built crashed down around him, leaving me in a ruthless shell.*
Ignazio Vitale/male lead
*when you have got nothing left inside of you axcept for darkness, it become easier to snuff out somebody else's light.*
Ignazio Vitale/male lead
*i do what i want, take what i want, and make no apologies for any of it. after all I wasn't born this way. the world made me who I'm, and the world pays for that mistake everyday.
there's only ever been one thing to evade me, one person to elude me, one clever enough to stay ahead of me all these years.
CARMELA RITA.*
Ignazio Vitale/male lead
*Johnny was easy to find. He took the same route Karissa is taking now: predictability.
he played it close to the chest, settled into a routine, buying a house and working a shitty nine-to-five job, hoping to fly under the radar by becoming nothing. fitting, really, since he was nothing.*
Ignazio Vitale/male lead
*Carmela, on the other hand, Shook up her routine, living a life of chaos, of impulsiveness. whenever i got close to her, she fled, switching tactics, moving on somewhere else.*
Ignazio Vitale/male lead
*Carmela is alot like me
she's smart
but I'm smarter*
Ignazio Vitale/male lead
*I know this isn't over, that killing Johny hasn't ended anything. I wish Carmela would run again, disappear into another life, create another existence somewhere and never look back, but she won't.*
Ignazio Vitale/male lead
*I know this, because that's not what I'd do.
Carmel's full of darkness, too. the only light in her life now BRIGHTENS MY HOME, and she will come for it. she'll come for, Karissa *
Ignazio Vitale/male lead
*God help her when she does*
