Despite being a ruthless mafia boss and raising his sons at the same time, Alesandro made it clear to them all the meaning of consent.

Again Mason didn't really do relationships, he had a couple months with a girl here and there but it never lasted.

And he didn't even want to go into his two youngest. Dante used his reputation to get the girls, and once he was bored he let them go and Matteo was much the same, just not as bad.

Alesandro himself didn't exactly approve of how his sons behaved but at the same time the girls knew his sons didn't do relationships.

If he so much as heard one of them had possibly taken advantage of a girl, there would be hell to pay though. He knew his sons would never do that though.
They used girls but the girls knew exactly what was happening.

He was greatful Emilia was different. In his eyes she didn't need a boyfriend until she was in her 40s but he would never forbid her from a relationship. There was trust between them now, he knew she felt comfortable enough to come to him. He rather know about a relationship than have her hide it from him. She was going to do it with or without his approval.

"But Sophia and Dante would be great together" she replied interrupting his train of thought.

Alesandro chuckled, he did notice it when she stopped for dinner. Maybe Dante would find himself in an actual relationship instead of random hook ups?

"Let's just focus on you for now"

Antonio was nervous but pretended he wasn't. When Emilia hugged him his nerves dissapeared.

Whilst hugging, Alesandro stood away from them watching . "Aren't you going to invite him in"

It was the next day now and throughout the day Emilia had been constantly fussing, expecting the worst. Antonio didn't want to pressure her but Emilia decided she wanted to tell her brothers. Her father knew and she suspected Dante and Matteo had there suspicions. She was nervous about Damon knowing. She valued his opinion but she knew he didn't approve. And Mason would either be accepting or threaten him.

"Um yeah, come in" she awkwardly invited him in.

Antonio smiled and gave her hand a quick squeeze for reassurance as he entered.

"It's nice to see you again Mr Russo" Antonio held his hand out and not wanting to be petty (makes a change) Alesandro shook his  hand.
"Dad be nice" Emilia muttered when she saw Alesandro looking at him with a judgy expression.

"I'm always nice. Besides you should be more concerned about your brothers. Now Antonio why don't you and I have a little talk "

"Dad no. He's okay, he won't hurt me or pressure me into anything " Emilia tried.

"That may be so but I'd love to have a little catch up with him. We won't be long" Alesandro said and soon after led the boy away.


"I'll put it bluntly. I know you and my daughter are dating now. If you ever harm her I will destroy you and your family. And just so you take my threat seriously, you should know I made Luca suffer " Alesandro said.

Antonio nodded, he took the threat seriously but he knew he would never hurt her so he didn't think he had anything to worry about.

"I've always treated her with respect and will continue to do so. I know about her past and I'm mindful of it. I also respect you would do anything for her but trust me I would never hurt her" Antonio said.

"I hope you live up to your word. I had to hide a blow torch from Damon a few months ago, I'd hate to have to get it out again it would be alot of work finding another hiding spot once I'm done with it" Alesandro said casually.
