The Mafia Don's Second Chance
Episode # 4
Marco sat in am armchair beside the bed, his broad imposing figure somehow softened by the card he took with Angela's son lying on the crisp white sheets.
Her son was still pale from the ordeal he'd endured.
His small chest rose and fell with shallow, steady breaths as he slept.
MARCO VIKTOR (ML)
*his hand reaches out to brush a stray of hair from his forehead, his fingers surprisingly gentle*
He watched her son's peaceful face, but when his hand shifted to adjust the covers at boy's side, something caught his eye.
A small mark on the boy's leg, barely visible beneath the edge of the blanket.
He moved the blanket aside carefully, his heart pausing when he saw the birthmark there, just above the ankle.
It was the same shape, the same position as his own.
A jolt of realization hit him. He leaned closer, studying the mark as if it held the answers to a thousand unspoken questions.
MARCO VIKTOR (ML)
*His eyes narrowed slightly, his mind working, searching through the fragments of his past*
Before he could lose himself in his thoughts, the sound of footsteps interrupted the stillness.
The door opened, Angela stepped into the room.
ANGELA (FL)
I...I dIdn't mean to intrude.
*she said softly*
i just wanted to check on him.
MARCO VIKTOR (ML)
*his hand still hovering near the boy's leg, he stood slowly*
Of course.
*he said quietly,his deep voice softened by the moment.*
I'll leave you to him.
Marco excused himself, and exited the room.
But as the door shut behind him, the weight of the discovery pressed heavily on him.
Marco sat on the dinning table, sipping his espresso, his fingers while the housemaids moving quietly through the hall, preparing for another busy day.
Suddenly, Marco looked up to see Angela standing at the top of the staircase, holding her bag in one hand and clutching her son's hand with the other.
MARCO VIKTOR (ML)
*his brow furrowed in an instant*
Hey?
*he called out, his voice low and firm*
Want are you doing?
She didn't flinch at the sound of his voice.
ANGELA (FL)
*she took a breath, stepped forward and descended the stairs slowly, her son trailing behind her*
I'm leaving
*she said*
Thank you for everything. You've helped me more than I can ever repay. But my son and I need to go.
MARCO VIKTOR (ML)
*his expression hardened, and a scoff escaped him. He stood up from his chair*
Leaving?
*he repeated, in disbelief*
Where exactly do you think you're going, huh? Last night, you looked like you had nowhere to go. You think I'll just let you walk out that door now?
ANGELA (FL)
*she paused for a moment, glancing at her son, then back at Marco*
We'll see where we end up.
*she replied simply*
MARCO VIKTOR (ML)
*his face twisted into a scowl, he strode toward her*
What kind of mother are you?
*he snapped*
Your son is sick, ma'am. He needs rest. And all you can think about is leaving?
*his voice rose with anger, his fury suddenly all consuming*
You don't even know where you're going. You don't even have a plan. You're just going to drag him around like a stray dog?
Before he could his brother appeared, his calm demeanor contrasting sharply with Marco's fury.
PAOLO VIKTOR (ML's brother)
Marco, stop it.
*he said quietly*
MARCO VIKTOR (ML)
*he paused, his chest heaving with intensity of his emotions, his eyes still locked on Angela*
Marco turned towards one of the housemaid who had been quietly watching.
MARCO VIKTOR (ML)
Take her things, get the rooms ready. They're not going anywhere until I say so.
*he ordered, his eyes never leaving hers*
ANGELA (FL)
I don't need your pity.
*she said, seriously*
MARCO VIKTOR (ML)
This isn't about pity.
*he said in a low, measured tone*
You're not leaving. Not while he's sick. Now while you're under my roof.You stay until I decide otherwise.
*His words sounds final, leaving no room for her to argue*
Whatever you think of me. Your son is safe here. I'll make sure of it.
*he said, his voice steady.
Without another,the housemaid moved to take her bags.
