Fabrizio narrating:
5 years later:
It's been exactly five years since the devil disappeared from the face of the earth and she never gave any news, not even my best men managed to find her, it even seems that she was swallowed by the earth, and with her departure my love went too, I I have always been a cold man but when she appeared the ice melted but with her departure Antarctica returned, only colder than ever.
The only ones I'm loving are my children, I don't have the perfect marriage, on the contrary, it's all just appearance, we don't even have a bed, and to have one I need to be drunk and imagining that the woman in my bed is her, in these five years of marriage I had two children with Chiara, my firstborn Pietro and my little Francesca, three years old, they are my world despite not being children of the devil, something I always wanted .
She for me has become an impossible dream to achieve.- Papa!-I'm taken out of my daydreams by a boy with blond hair in my lap, all happy.
-Hi son.- I give him a smile and ruffle his hair.
- It's time to blow out the candles. -Pietro speaks enthusiastically, today is his 5th birthday and my champion is so happy, and if he is happy I will be too.
I go downstairs with him on my lap and he doesn't stop chattering, but my smile dies and my attention is focused on a certain person as well as the others in the room. It was her, the devil that broke my heart and after 5 years old decides to come back as if nothing had happened, as she dares.
- What are you doing here?- I ask as soon as I go down the last step.
- Wow! that's the way to welcome a family member who's been away for so long.- She speaks with the biggest face, but I stop paying attention even to what she says, when my eyes land on her body and I see that she got hotter than ever and my little friend gives a sign when he recognizes his real owner.
- You are not welcome here.- Chiara rages.
- I regret to inform you that I will have to be swallowed by the Greco-Ricci family.- She mocks going towards the table and then takes the bottle of wine, serving herself, I see that she hasn't lost her taste for drinks of the genre.
-Are these your son?-She points to Pietro in my lap.
- It's so similar to Chiara, well I just hope it's the same in appearance, but having a mother like Chiara you never know right.- He says taking a sip of his wine, I really didn't like your comment to my son .
- What do you understand about maternity or paternity Perla?- I ask and see her face instantly change to sad, but then back to her normal posture.
-Can you believe that I know a lot Fabrizio, a lot.- She says taking another sip of her wine.
- Dad, let's blow out the candles.- Pietro says, taking away the funereal atmosphere in the room and we all went to the garden where there were a lot of children around.
After we put out Pietro's candles, the children went back to playing normally and I took advantage of Chiara's distraction to be with the devil.
I pull her by her arm, leading her to my office and memories come flooding back, they were our best moments.-I see you haven't lost your habits.- She says going to the whiskey bottle, you can see her nervousness, unlike me she looks like a nervous wreck.
- Why did you abandon me?- I shoot cornering her against the wall.
- I'm tired of being the shadow and that's it, what you want from me Fabrizio, you should be happy to have a beautiful family.- Look at me and how I missed everything about this woman.
- I may even have a fucking beautiful family, but I don't have you and it kills me inside.- I'm being honest and it seems she didn't expect this one.
-Fabrizio I think it's better to end this matter here and you go back to your children, it will be better.- She says trying to get out of my grip.
- These children could be mine and yours.- I speak and once again she swallows, it seems that this subject affects her in such an inexplicable way.
-I wasn't made to be a mother of a family.- She says gruffly.
- A woman like you was not made to have anything.- I speak with hurt and I see that my words hurt her.
- You know what, you shouldn't have gone back but stayed in the hole where you've been these five years.- I spit the words out with pure hate.
- I didn't come back for you, so those words of yours have no effect on me.- She says pushing me away and I walked out the door leaving me here with my demons.
This woman really is evil incarnate, with her alone she managed to make my life a total mess.
Why the hell did you have to come back?
