He tricked me with his insight, his savagery, and by lying about having a similar plan as both me and Bruno. He swore that Fidelis had once killed his family and that he would remain determined to give back in kind. He wore tears all over as he voiced the code of omertà like he could express it until the end of his life and never become weary of it. I was tricked by the earnestness and brightness he shared as he assisted my business with getting more than 100,000,000 per year. I was fucking tricked.
