Solution or a Problem?
Vincent Rizzuto is having lunch in a restaurant and Louis Cortez his mafia rival enters.
The Rizzuto and Cortez clan have never been on good terms. They are rivals from ages. Rizzuto clan took the mafia throne, this led to more bloodshed among the clans.
Vincent (Charlotte's Dad)
Louis Cortez. Surprised to see you here. I didn't think you had the nerve to meet me face-to-face.
Louis (Asher's Dad)
I have something to propose..-I
Vincent cuts Louis before he can finish his sentence.
Vincent (Charlotte's Dad)
You snake! You've been using my territory for your dirt! I won't stand for it anymore!
Louis (Asher's Dad)
Oh, Vincent, always so melodramatic. Your reign is fading, old friend. It's time for the Cortez clan to take its rightful place at the top.
Vincent (Charlotte's Dad)
The top? You think you can just walk in and take what's mine?
Vincent (Charlotte's Dad)
I built this empire with blood, sweat, and tears
Louis (Asher's Dad)
Your empire?
Vincent (Charlotte's Dad)
You underestimate me, Louis
Louis (Asher's Dad)
But that's no why I'm here Vincent, I'm not here to fight.
Louis (Asher's Dad)
Vincent, this has gone on for far too long! Our clans have been at each other's throats for years, and innocent lives have been lost. It's time to end this madness!
Vincent (Charlotte's Dad)
And what do you propose, Louis? A truce? We both know that won't work. We have tried it before, only for the peace to crumble within months.
Louis (Asher's Dad)
No, Vincent, not a truce. Something more substantial, more binding. We have to put an end to this once and for all.
Vincent raises an eyebrow in surprise to Louis's words.
Vincent (Charlotte's Dad)
And how do you suggest we do that, Louis? I'm all ears.
Louis (Asher's Dad)
We unite our clans.
Vincent (Charlotte's Dad)
We've done it and it has failed.
Louis (Asher's Dad)
Not through some business deal or alliance, but through blood. We marry our heirs. Your daughter, Charlotte, and my son, Asher.
Vincent (Charlotte's Dad)
You can't be serious!
Louis (Asher's Dad)
Yes, I am serious.
Vincent (Charlotte's Dad)
You want our families to be linked by marriage?
Louis (Asher's Dad)
Think about it, Vincent. Our rivalry has only brought bloodshed and suffering. But if we join forces, imagine the power we would wield. No other family would dare cross us. We could rule this city together.
Vincent (Charlotte's Dad)
It's a risky proposition, Louis. We've been enemies for so long, can we really trust each other?
Louis (Asher's Dad)
Trust is earned, Vincent. And by taking this step, we would be showing our commitment to a new era. Our children could build a future where our clans work together, not against each other.
What will happen? Will the legendary rivals from generations become family?
