Omertà, Aufiero's Return

Chapter 3

Aufiero stormed off. My cheek is stinging. Like a tingling sensation. It hurts. Badly. There's a lot of commotion going on in the living room. Sounds like he's yelling at himself and hitting things. I walk in the living room to verify my assumptions. He stops when he sees me. "YOU'RE SUCH A FUCKING PUTTANA. MY GOD I FUCKING HATE YOU" He screams. "Aufiero, I was drunk. It was an accident I swear" He glares at me with glossy eyes. "Vaffanculo noelle" 

"I don't know what that means Aufiero"

"IT MEANS FUCK YOU NOELLE. THAT'S WHAT IT FUCKING MEANS. FUCK YOU. FUCK THIS HOUSE. FUCK THIS ENGAGEMENT. FUCK THIS" He steps closer to me and grabs my hand. "You can forget us being a family" He sneers. Yanking my ring off, he slips it in his pocket. "No, Aufiero, you ca-

"DON'T FUCKING TELL WHAT I CANT DO NOELLE." 

"You're not even listening to me. Just let me fucking explain what happened" He laughs. "Actually, tell me who else you slept with. Did you sleep with Stadi huh? Did you sleep with a whole bunch of other guys? Huh?" 

"No Aufiero please. Stop. I'm sorry. I was drunk" 

"I DON'T GIVE A FUCK" He yells pushing me into the wall. "Seriously Noelle. How could you do this to me? I basically saved your fucking life yknow. Vaspicci was gonna kill you." He chuckles. "I should've let him kill you. Should've let him torture your ass to death. But no, I just had to be the nice guy." He walks away leaving me against the wall. "But this is what I get. I guess this is karma for killing all of those people. Ya know, Michelle would've never did this to me"He says. "I was drunk Aufiero. I didn't know what I was doing. I didn't do this on purpose. You think this is what I wanted? For this to hapen?" 

"I don't know Noelle. Why didn't you just tell me when it happened. We could've avoided all of this." 

"I was scared. I didn't know what to do. I wanted to tell you. I started thinking that if I told you, you would leave me. I thought you wouldn't come home. I thought you'd leave me to raise Noni on my own which I was doing anyways but. I just. I was scared"

"Well, your thinking was right because we're done. I'll be back for my things tomorrow"

"Wow. Just like that? You just gonna leave and not try to work it out? Do you really even love me?"

"Well shit. I should be asking you the same question. You are the one that cheated. But if you must know. Yes, I fucking love you but I can't stand to be around you right now. I'm going to my mom's house. I'll call to check on my son." He said. "Please think about what you're doing" 

He looked back at me. "I will......later" And with that he left and got into his car. I watched as he sped off. My phone rang. "Karson. I don't have the time for you. What the fuck do you wnat?" 

"That was a nice arguement yall had"

I peeped out the window but he wasn't standing outside. I turned around and pursed my lips. "Did you wire my fucking house?" He chuckles. "Maybe" 

"Karson, I sw-

"What? That you're gonna call the police. Do you want Aufiero to get sent to prison for life this time. Noelle. You better watch your fucking back because I'm not playing games anymore. Keep denying me, and I'll fucking kill you" The call ended and my phone dropped from my hand. I began to lock every door and window in the house. "Good job locking me in"Karson says from behind. "How the fuck did you get in here?" He laughs. "I was in here the whole time. But thanks for the wiring idea. I might just do that actually" I backed up into the wall. "Karson, you need to get the fuck out" He cocked his head to the side. "Are you scared? Sucks that Aufiero is gone."
