Ignazio exited the kitchen and made his way to the dining room, where Maddalena was waiting for him. "Azzura claims she now has everything she needs for family dinner. Did you want to talk before I head to the guesthouse to change?"
"Please take a seat nipote," Maddalena instructed. After Ignazio took a seat, she asked, "Where is Dario? Did he not come with you to make your delivery?"
Ignazio patted the table before sharing, "Dario went to mass and lunch with Arianna and Manuel. Dario told me they are trying to convince him to move in with them, but I doubt he will allow them. They don't trust the DiMera family."
Maddalena figured there could be problems with Arianna and Manny but chose not to worry about them. She did want to know more of Ignazio's thoughts on the situation though. "What can Arianna and Manuel offer Dario that we cannot?"
"They have a longer history," Ignazio noted. "Even though I feel a strong bond with Dario, his bond with them is still a lot stronger."
Maddalena wondered if maybe she should worry about Arianna and Manny's influence over Dario. "Where are they living now?"
Ignazio reflected on the conversations he had with Dario. "I believe they are staying in a condo in which is owned by Victor Kiriakis. Dario informed me Manuel is working for Victor as his head of security."
"What about Arianna?"
"She is working for the police," Ignazio stated.
Maddalena nodded her head to her grandson. She was clearly intrigued by the information and reflected on how she asked Ric to approach Victor randomly in the square before her brother went down for holding Abe hostage. "Do you know anything about Victor Kiriakis?"
Remembering his interactions with Mia in his quest to get Chad to leave Salem, Ignazio shared, "I know some. He seems to try to protect his family and their reputation in society. I worked with a girl named Mia and planned an attack with her to get Chad to leave Salem. She told Chad and actually convinced him for some time that Victor Kiriakis was the one responsible. I believe she even told the cops the same thing."
Maddalena became even more intrigued by everything. She gave her nipote a look of appreciation. "I need to introduce myself to Dario's siblings and form better relationships with them. They may be more useful than I originally believed."
