Modus Vivendi

Mariano stared straight at Alessandro, his composure was sanguine, yet he was careful when he responded, "I can't do that. Gabriella has to stay married to me. There will be no divorce. But starting now, let it be known that the De Lucas are free to come any time in Chicago. My wife's family is welcome to visit her."

Gael and his father were visibly vexed at Mariano calling Gabriella his "wife". Alessandro certainly didn't like this too. The audacity of this man acting like he had every right was galling. He had only become the Don of Chicago not too long ago, and yet he had already adapted to it like he had been preparing all his life.
