Antonio
Something has changed. The house doesn’t look the same as it did the last
time I was here. The décor is different. It’s fresher, brighter. In the corridor,
the floorboards have been stripped back to reveal a natural, pale wood. The
walls have been painted an off-white color. They were gray before. Or were
they blue? I don’t know why I care. It shouldn’t matter to me that the place
feels more welcoming now than it did before. A prickle of envy shouldn’t
stab my chest at the thought of my errant wife putting our marriage behind
her and finding peace when I haven’t moved on. I shouldn’t wish we’d
made this home together. A man in my position can’t afford to be
sentimental.
As I walk into the living room, I realize it’s been decorated, too. There are
new pink and cream throws on the sofa. I don’t recognize the floral
armchair by the fireplace. It’s not my style, but it fits the room perfectly. A
white fleecy blanket is draped over the back of the chair, probably more for
comfort than warmth since it’s the middle of summer. A tattered paperback
lies on the seat. Cherished Bride. I almost laugh. Isabella always enjoyed a
good love story. How sad for her that ours was not one.
The image of domesticity the room conjures up is a perfect reflection of the
woman I married. Isabella loved to read. She was more of a stay-at-home
type than me, but that was part of the appeal. Even before I considered her
as a bride, I thought she’d make someone an excellent wife and mother. I
can’t believe I was so wrong about her.
There’s nobody in the living room, so I head back out into the corridor and
work my way through the house until I eventually find my younger brother,
Leo, in the kitchen. Like me and our siblings, he’s taller than average, with
dark brown hair and blue eyes. Usually a fan of dress pants and tailored
shirts, Leo is wearing jeans and a Henley, its sleeves rolled up to his
elbows.
Leaning back against the countertop, he has a cup of coffee in one hand and
a Danish pastry in the other. He’s stuffing his face as if there isn’t a dead
body lying at his feet.
“You’re getting crumbs on the corpse,” I tell him as I glance down at the
man I entrusted with my treacherous wife’s care. His face is a mangled
mess and his sandy blond hair is matted with congealed blood. Fuck! I’ve
known Rico Mancini since high school, but I wouldn’t have recognized him
if Leo hadn’t told me who’d been killed.
