"Sir, Mr. Ricci," said Hanxi before turning to Vittoria. "Mrs. Ricci, I would never hurt Bella. I swear on my life."

"It's true that I used to turn violent when drinking too much, but I swear that I have already taken control of my drinking problem. The urge in me to look for a fight happens when I am incredibly under the influence, but I am already fully aware of this and I have overcome this," explained Hanxi. 

"Are you telling me, you are no longer getting drunk?" Clarified Stefano. 

"Yes, sir. I only drink in moderation. You can ask Bella this. Not once have I hurt her. She had seen me drink on four or five occasions and in all those times, I have controlled my liquor. I have been doing relatively well over the years," said Hanxi.
