Anita was in the midst of a heartfelt conversation with her son, when the door swung open and in strolled the imposing figure of Fabio.
Jasper Smith (Anita's son)
*turned to his mother, a pleading look in his eyes.*
Mom, please, can I go out this weekend with my friends? I promise I'll be back before curfew.
But before Anita could respond, Fabio cut in, his voice cold and menacing.
Fabio Marino (ML)
You're not leaving this mansion, kid. You stay here.
Jasper Smith (Anita's son)
*bristled at the command, his rebellion flaring up.*
But, I want you go out.
Fabio Marino (ML)
*his eyes narrowed dangerously as he loomed over Jasper*
You will do as I say, boy. You're not stepping foot outside this house.
Anita couldn't bear to see her son treated like this. She stepped forward, her voice firm.
Anita Smith (FL)
Fabio Marino, you have no right to speak to my son like that. He has done nothing to deserve your anger.
Fabio Marino (ML)
*rounded on her, his face contorted with fury.*
I'll speak to him however I damn well please. He's under my roof, and he will obey my orders.
Anita Smith (FL)
*stood her ground, her fists clenched at her sides.*
I've heard enough of your threats and intimidation, Fabio Marino. I'm calling the police. This ends now.
Fabio Marino (ML)
*his eyes widened in surprise at her defiance, but quickly regained his composure.*
You wouldn't dare.
*he sneered.*
But Anita was already heading for the phone,her resolve unwavering.
Anita Smith (FL)
Watch me.
*she said her voice steady as she dialed 991.*
