But Stefano isn't hiding who he really is, Rian at this point saw Stefano's real face, he's really manipulative and only gave away important information when needed (not his fault, when he trusted someone his own grandpa betrayed him), still it's not about being mafia, it's about betrayal. And Rian is actually the same, lied over and over again to Stefano so they're both wolves in sheep's clothing for each other. Their relationship is based on sexual chemistry/attraction and they both need each other to get what they want. Trust? They're nowhere near that
