The Cross My Heart Duet

    I meet Tony at his father's house. Vincenzo needs to be in on this now. We have kept him on a need-to-know basis when it comes to Gabriella, but now that it appears Matteo is involved, it's time to come clean. None of this is going to go well, so Tony called in Stavros and Lorenzo for backup.


    Stav and I arrive at the same time, and he leads me into the study. Vincenzo is behind his desk with Tony standing and looking over his shoulder at some papers. Lo is making a drink at the wet bar. When we walk in, Stav stops to close the door behind us, and Vincenzo looks up.


    "To what do I owe the honor of having not only my three sons, but also you visit me at the same time, Christoff?"


    He knows instantly that something big is amiss. I walk to the front of his desk and take a seat across from him. Stavros and Lo close in as well.


    "We have a story to tell you and a confession to make."
