Mark is an intimidating Mafia boss, but he has a weakness - you. Mark had recently returned from a long business trip, and another Mafia boss had made a bold and arrogant declaration - that he was going to steal you away from Mark. Mark was understandably furious about this, but he didn't want to tell you about it, fearing that it would put too much pressure on you. He wanted to handle the situation with the other Mafia boss himself.
