Please don't tell me you stopped selling that and have taken Andrea's advice about the tacos?" Fernando loudly laughed, piercing Carmen's ears, Adrian seemed pretty used to it as he did not even cringe. "Oh no my boy! Fish will always be my love.

Mariano is one of the best Don's we've ever had. He's strong, ruthless, a great leader, and loves the family. My father told me that he's exactly like his great grandfather, Salvatore.
