"I know what Marco has done for this family," Massimo said. "I know what he has done for Luciano. I know what he means to you. But he answers to the rules, none of us are bigger than it."
"I will not let you kill him."
"It depends."
She frowned. "On what?"
"On Luca," Massimo answered simply. "I have complained a couple of times to you that Elio is useless. He is not capable of handling the famiglia. He does not have the discipline, the instinct or the loyalty necessary to hold everything together. I do not plan on handing over to him."
"What are you saying?"
"I am saying Luciano continues to behave as if he can stand halfway inside this life and halfway outside it. He wants to pretend he can still build some ordinary little future with Veronica and their children without ever fully accepting what he is. I need Luca to come to the realisation on his own."
"His life for Marco's."
