### Sweet Temptation

#### *December 27th, 2017*

Cassio comes home two days after Christmas to find two-year-old Daniele playing on a tablet. When he inquires where it came from, he says his Uncle **Andrea** bought it for him and that he and his mom, Gaia, are upstairs "playing". He tells Daniele to stay where he is and heads upstairs with his gun drawn.

Cassio stops in front of Gaia’s bedroom door, listening, and hears someone grunting and a woman calling out. He bursts through the door to see the heavily pregnant Gaia, straddling her half-brother and bodyguard **Andrea**. Both naked.

Gaia shrieks and tries to cover herself. A look passed between the two, and then Cassio knew that this had been going on for a long time, maybe even longer than their marriage.

Cassio closes the door behind him while Andrea pushes Gaia off him and lunges for the gun on the nightstand. Cassio pulls the trigger and shoots Andrea through his hand, tearing through his palm and blowing it apart, causing him to roar in agony.

Gaia screams, stumbles to her feet, and moves towards the gun. Cassio was by her side in an instant and dragged her into the bathroom and locked her in. He turns back to Andrea who is in a pain-induced daze, but he tries for the gun with his other hand, which Cassio shoots through as well. Cassio got a sick satisfaction from his cries of agony. Andrea falls back with a choked cry, holding his ruined hands in front of him.

Gaia then yells from the bathroom, telling Cassio to not hurt Andrea or “I swear I’ll kill the child in my womb.” This causes Cassio to freeze, not able to believe what he heard. He grabbed tape and cuffs from the closet and opened the bathroom door. Once Gaia saw Cassio, she grabbed his cut-throat razor and pressed it to the underside of her belly, threatening to cut the unborn Simona out. The two argue and Cassio lunges at her, grabbing her wrist before she can hurt herself or the baby. He ties her feet and hands together, covers her mouth with tape, and locks her back in the bathroom.

Andrea stumbles to his feet but Cassio catches him before he can flee. He cuffed him to the heater and taped his mouth as well.

Cassio then changes his clothes and texts his soldier Faro for a doctor for Gaia and goes back to Daniele and puts him to bed.

Cassio soon returns to Gaia’s room and checks on her then goes to Andrea, unfastening his cuffs. He drags him downstairs, and when they reach the lobby Faro and the trustworthy Dr. Sal enter the home. He sends the doctor upstairs to Gaia, warning him to not let her out of his sight.

He and Faro then take Andrea to the basement, shove him down the stairs, and then tie him to a chair. He reveals to Faro that he may or may not be a rat, but is a man who has sex with his own sister. Faro’s eyes shoot wide open as he scans Andrea, and then tries to offer Cassio compassion, to which he quickly shoots down.

Cassio begins to interrogate Andrea and reveals that he and Gaia had been together since she was 15, and had been having sex since she was 16 with their parents being aware. When pressed further on how that was possible as she had bled on their wedding night, he says that there is a doctor for everything, insinuating that Gaia has a hymen repair surgery, also known as hymenoplasty, a procedure that repairs a torn hymen that allows for women to tear and bleed the first time they engage in intercourse after surgery. He then continues and says that if Cassio wants an heir, he is going to have to keep Gaia alive, because Daniele and Simona are not Cassio’s, but are Andrea’s.

In a rage, Cassio beats Andrea to death with his bare hands. Faro reminds him that they need info on the bikers, and tries to get him to stop, gripping Cassio’s shoulders, but he shoves him away with a roar, Faro colliding with the wall and crumpling to his feet.

When he is done, Faro asks if he is alright, helps him up, and tells Cassio that Andrea may have just said things to provoke him. He then asks what Cassio is going to do with Gaia. Cassio is unsure, but asks Faro to call his father, Mansueto Moretti, and ask him to come over.

He continues and says to not alert anyone else, that they will cover up the affair and mark Andrea a traitor. Faro points out that he can no longer trust Gaia, but Cassio just walks back upstairs.

Back in Gaia’s room, they find her sedated by Dr. Sal and he proceeds to tell them that Gaia had struggled, and that it was not ideal for the baby, but that he had no choice and that she may need to be restrained when she wakes as she was hysterical beforehand. When asked if the baby can just be delivered then, Dr. Sal says that theoretically she could be, but waiting two or three weeks would be beneficial for the baby. Cassio tells the doctor to stay with Gaia while he showers, changes, and checks on his son.

He hears his father's, Mansueto, voice from the corridor and goes to find him and Faro waiting for him. Cassio wishes that he could have kept this all from his father. Mansueto limps towards Cassio, looking pale and weak, greets him, and tells him that no one will blame him if he wants to make Gaia disappear after the baby is born, least of all him. Cassio responds that he doesn't want her to disappear and that he is not worried about his life, but the life of his children. Mansueto tells Cassio that he doesn't even know if they are his children, and that he should get a paternity test as soon as possible, continuing to say that if they are not, they can send Gaia and the children away to live with her family and then he can find a new wife who can give him legitimate children and an heir. Cassio says that they are his children, end of the story, and that anyone who claims otherwise will pay the price. Mansueto implores Cassio to remember who he is talking to, and he says that he does not forget, that he respects him, but to not destroy their relationship by saying something that he cannot forgive. He agrees.

He then tells Faro to get rid of Andrea’s body.

Gaia commits suicide when Simona is four months old as she cannot bear to live without Andrea.

#### *After Death*

He is mentioned in passing when Giulia Moretti, Cassio's new wife, mentioned to Daniele that his uncle was coming over, meaning her brother Christian. When Daniele seemed intrigued and then disappointed when Christian appeared at the front door, she wondered if Gaia also had a brother.
