Damien could still hear his father's words echoing in his mind.
"I want the Madonna dead by tomorrow night..."
He closed his eyes, struggling to contain the anger boiling inside. How could he possibly tell his father that he no longer wanted to go through with the plan? How could he admit that he had feelings for the one person he was ordered to kill—especially when his father had explicitly told him not to get involved?
"Father, I don't think we should continue with the plan," Damien said, looking his father in the eye, his voice steady despite the chaos inside.
Vincenzo looks at him with a confused look, not clearly understanding what his son was saying.
"What do you mean, not continue?" Vincenzo asked, his tone sharp.
"Father—" Damien began, but before he could finish, his father pulled a gun and pointed it directly at his son's head.
"Give me one good reason why we shouldn't get rid of The Madonna," Vincenzo challenged coldly.
Damien let out a bitter chuckle and slowly drew his own gun, raising it to meet his father's.
"Go ahead, boy!" Vincenzo yelled. "Pull the trigger! Kill your father over a woman! Show me how far you've fallen!"
"You're the one pointing your gun at your own son, Vincenzo," Damien shot back, his voice low and dangerous.
"I'm your father, and you take orders from me!" Vincenzo barked. "When I tell you to kill someone, I expect it to be done! No questions!"
Damien's eyes darkened. "Where was this tough talk when you were on your knees begging her for mercy just a few minutes ago?" he sneered, pushing the gun deeper towards his fathers head
Without hesitation, Vincenzo lashed out, throwing a punch that caught Damien off guard, sending him staggering backward. Pain exploded across Damien's face as blood trickled from his nose.
"Son of a bitch!" Damien cursed, holding his nose.
"Enough with your bullshit! Remember who I am to YOU!" Vincenzo yells at his son.
Grabbing Damien by his collar, he pulls him close, "Get it together!" he growled. "Forget whatever feelings you think you have and finish the job. Sleep with the whore, then put a bullet through her head. Do you hear me?!" He spat the words in his son's face.
Damien shoved him away. "Fuck you!" he snarled before storming out, slamming the door behind him.

"Madonna, with all due respect, you shouldn't have done that—especially not to the Valerio don," Bernardo said, walking beside Aurora as they headed back to her car on the Valerio estate.
"Bernardo, I know. But it's the use of his words, fucking trying to rial me up. He wants me to look ugly." she sighs
"You can never look ugly" Damien states from behind as he catches up to them.
