Normally, when a person has a knife against their neck and were being threatened to being sent to the next life they would freak out. Scream. Cry.
Or even piss their pants.
But Cassius, rather than panicking, simply stared at her for a long moment.
Then, a soft chuckle escaped his lips.
"I'd actually love to go to the other world with you." He said with a faint smirk. "I'd be terrified to go alone. Having a lovely companion like you by my side would make it far more pleasant."
Carmela blinked, momentarily thrown off.
"But." Cassius continued, his smirk widening. "I'm still enjoying my time in this world. And I can't exactly leave my wives all alone, can I? So, for now, I'd appreciate it if you didn't send me off just yet."
He leaned back slightly in his chair, the dagger following his movement.
"As for you, Carmela, well, this entire situation is just one big misunderstanding. And if you give me a chance to speak…"
He flashed her a small, almost pleading smile.
