Love and Deceit

I could sense the anticipation in his eyes as he muttered those words, but I didn't want to reveal too much personal-related information about the root cause of the assassination of Antonio's Pa.

Nonetheless, since I am not a fan of suspense myself, and the situation doesn't seem like the kind that calls for it, there's really no use delaying the inevitable.

I'd just drop a hint and not delve into too many details.

"I've had experiences, Gustavo. Enough of such to know that the Mafia business is a dicey one. Those ruthless brutes could hold on to a grudge for generations past and inflict vengeance on you when you least expected the coast to become unclear."

"Yes, they can be like that indeed. But I don't think Belinda can be that ruthless." Gusty G replied me.

Is he being serious at the moment?

Are we talking about the same Belinda?

Is he really hanging on to the thread in hopes that she can be redeemed?
