Casinos in Vegas, smuggling and black-marketing of antiques, big ticket betting in sports, ultra high end escort services which Lucrezia handles (sourcing models from Europe, arranging 'special' meetings between politicians/ sports stars with Hollywood starlets), ownership of prime commercial properties across the Mid west (with enough paper trail so as not to arouse suspicion). But no drugs.<br/><br/>Perhaps we can have a bit about how Lorenzo wanted to lead a life of not only great wealth, but social status. He wanted Leonardo to contest for the post of Mayor of Chicago some day, something which Lucrezia may tell him later about. But the course of events leaves no choice for Leonardo except to pick up where his father left.<br/><br/>While Lucrezia and Leonardo's relationship is the strongest, Cat and Leonardo's initial interactions will be very interesting. Behind her back, he'll be trying to find out more about her and her relationship with his father. Though his instincts tell him he can trust her, he can never be sure. Probably he won't mention about meeting her to his aunt, till he's sure she's safe company.<br/>What do you say, Kendra? What would their initial dynamic be like?<br/><br/>Foxy, now to something which you and I love ;) Maybe Leo reminds Zia Lucrezia about the family's favorite dinner time story - about the time when he was little and had peed on her wedding gown. Everyone had thought she'd go mad, but she'd laughed it off and said 'Anything for my little prince' or something like that. And that can lead to some bathroom 'fun'. Too far-fetched? ;)<br/><br/>Sharon, hope your bio doesn't give you much trouble. Do write in if you have any questions.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Yeah I like all those business options and better to stay away from the drugs aspect, I don't think Cat would have had much to do with him if he were involved with those. The rest she can turn a blind eye too though maybe not the sex trafficking  so much.<br/>In regards their relationship - I like where you posted ...<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=117047.msg5139325#msg5139325">Quote from: snowleo84 on 30-08-2011, 23:55:01</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">I'm not sure marrying someone in lieu of unpaid debt is consistent with the father's character. <br/><br/>Perhaps he married her after her father (who was an ally of the Calitris) was killed and he considered himself responsible for her safety. He brought her home, and over the months she spent there, they fell in love, in spite of the huge gap in their ages (also his son going away, he feeling lonely, <strong>the police-woman not wanting to commit to marriage </strong>etc). And then he decided to marry her.<br/><br/>Is that something which works for you, Sharon?<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/><br/>that would be great actually - the father falling in love with her enough to want to marry her but Cat only loving him and not prepared to give up her career etc<br/>She'd have loved him dearly and heartbroken naturally that he ended up marrying Sharon's girl but when they continue to have an affair she doesn't mind so much, though perhaps not long before his death Cat breaks his heart by telling him she can't continue the affair.<br/>Showing up at the funeral is like saying goodbye for the second time for her but when she sees Leonardo - maybe she sees all the possibilities that the father could have been and doesn't want him to end the same way.<br/>I could see her falling for him the way she couldn't with the father though.
