Chapter 83: Sinister cards
Tito’s POV
“Dad are you okay?” Noello inquired and touched my shoulder, he stood beside me and read the content in the card. I was far too engrossed to stop him from reading everything in a few seconds.
Noello’s eyes widened and his lips parted but he didn’t gasp. “Papa, what the hell is this!”
I stared at the message and swallowed a burp down my throat, my Adam apple became restless going upwards and downwards in total dismay and disgust, all the times Papa and Mamma weren’t around, how she molested me forced me to fûck her ugly ass and pussy, did painful and nasty things to me, making my childhood a terrible one to remember, there was no joy left in me, only pain, coldness, hate, that was all till Fiorella stepped into my life, making me smile, laugh, giving three beautiful kids that made my life more meaningful and I am not going to let anyone destroy my life again not even Serena’s ghost.
I turned to Noello, who’s eyes met with mine. “You shouldn’t get scared, I am going to protect you and your siblings also your Mamma, don’t take it to heart or think about it, find be scared,” I promised but it looked like it was hollow to him, made no effect.
“Papa, why did she say she wanted to taste me?” Noello asked, that was the part that might have stuck to his mind.
“Don’t think about it, it means nothing, they are just mere words, they won’t be able to hurt you, not she or anyone,” I muttered, with a steady voice. I kissed and pecked his forehead and he closed his eyes.
“B-but, won’t you tell Mamma? She deserves at least to know that we are in danger,” Noello questioned and curled his eyebrows upwards waiting for a response.
“I will tell her myself,” I hollered.
“I am trusting you with that, I don’t want anything to happen to them, sometimes, I know that I act like I don’t care at all but I really do care and I want to protect them, we have been having a peaceful life, Mamma has gone through a lot, don’t you think it’s enough already?” Noello muttered, his expression, eyes clearly accusing me of being the cause of their misery.
I knew that he was right, I only bring problems to them, every time I enter back into their lives something nasty happens, maybe I only bring bad luck and misfortune to my own family nothing more, my shoulder lowered crestfallen, I relaxed my muscles and the box on my lap fell to the floor.
“I didn’t mean to say it that way,” He sighed then continued. “I am sorry it came out wrong,”
Hearing him apologise, I almost smiled, he had really changed, he wasn’t as cold as before, maybe now he chooses who to direct the toxicity to and whom to show affection. I smiled and raised my hand that landed on his smooth hair, I started patting it gently.
“You shouldn’t be worried, I will take care of this, nothing is going to happen to you guys alright,” I reassured him and bit my lower lip hard.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
I am extremely bothered, I killed her, I destroyed everything that she had left, how then could she appear after such a long time has passed, it was quite absurd but there is no doubt that it was her voice, many thought crossed my mind, I got a sharp pain in my head. “Fûck!”
“You should be careful too, protect yourself as well,” Noello advised and I nodded.
It was like we had switched roles now, I laughed inwardly at my silly thought.
“Noello!” I heard Signora Ginvera’s voice.
I quickly took the box from the floor, put the card back in it and stood up, her eyes dilated seeing me.
“What are you doing here?!” She thundered, not pleased by presence.
“I asked a question, you murderer!” She barked and clenched her wrinkled hands into a fist.
“I came to see my kids,” I blurted out, honestly.
“Your kids, who gave you are right over them, they are not your kids and my grandchildren have nothing to do with you anymore, don’t you get it, stay far away, take your criminal self back to jail and hell where dogs like you belong,” She yelled pointing her index finger at me, like a warning sign.
“Grandma, don’t talk to Papa like that,” Noello intervened but it didn’t help matters for her.
I saw her fidgeting but decided to keep my cool, there was no need arguing with her, I have done everything to gain her forgiveness but this old, adamant woman is bent on cursing me daily and holding a grudge but I am not one to give up easily, tough situations don’t last long but tough people do.
I furrowed my brows and faced her. “Signora, I know that we have unfinished business but can you not do this wicked thing to me and keep me away from my children,”
“I will keep them away from you and put a restraining order on you, that would stop you from coming here if not you would be thrown into jail how about that -”
“Grandma, don’t take Papa to jail and stop calling him a murderer,” Noello intervened.
Signora Ginvera shot a glare at the defiant child, she yelled after a long stare at Noello. “Go upstairs now or you will be grounded for three months, you insolent child,”
“Go upstairs” I muttered and smiled at him, he didn’t want to leave but eventually did.
Signora Ginvera came closer to, staring fearlessly into my eyes. “Don’t you ever come back to the house or I swear Tito, I will destroy you, your face sickens me and you are just bad luck, avoid my family,”
I released a whistled sigh and nodded. “I won’t come back anymore,” that was a complete lie, now that Serena is mysteriously back, I would never leave them.
I walked out of the mansion to meet Fiorella approaching the door. She looked more beautiful than this afternoon. She had changed her clothes and wore a silver tight dress that was embroidered with shiny stones that made her look like a pure, sparkling diamond, her shoes and bag were sparkling too.
She slowly walked to me and halted her steps in front of me. “Hi”
Her salutation was quite awkward but I replied. “Hi”
We both stared at each other for a while not speaking but I broke the long silence.
“Did you change your number?” I decided to ask.
“Yes, my phone got stolen yesterday in the mall, I had to purchase another,” She replies, showing me the new iPhone 14 in her hand.
“It looks nice,” I smiled to avert her from asking suspicious questions.
“Thanks,” She smiled, I saw her cheeks go red making a warm blush on her face, I smiled wider.
“You look beautiful too and I love the short hair,” I compliment and she gave a lopsided smile before biting her lower lip.
“Stop flattering me,” She giggled and tugged strands of hair behind her ear, we were both acting like teenagers meeting for the first time.
“I just got trashed by your Mamma, so I think I should leave now,” I smiled and gave her a peck on her cheek, I quickly strolled away before she could say anything.
Once I sort this problem out, the next obstacle to get out of my way would be Sergio!.

I reached home tiredly, avoided Papa and went straight to my room, I laid on the bed reminiscing on the past I had chosen a long time not to remember.
I exhaled and closed my eyes but my voice screaming like a child echoed in my head. I wanted to get it out of my mind and just concentrate on sleeping but I couldn’t.
I jerked up from the bed panting. “Franculo!!!”
“My head!!!” I yelped and gripped my head as her voice overshadowed my mind.
“Shut up!” I yelled, feeling tormented by it.
“Aah!!!”
…
That was just a phase of my former tortuous night. I overcame them but they are back to haunt me, I had bags under my eyes I couldn’t sleep one bit last night. I walked to my car, heading to work. I saw a card on the car, I curiously took it and gasped.
It had the same colour as the former card. It was red with black pen used in writing, I opened it and read out
“Little Tito, I love your little girl’s hairstyle, Lilian is so cute. Ah, the driver just dropped her off. I feel like chopping her head off now. I really love horror scenes. Her screams would be music to my ears, enjoy! ”
From the head chopper.
Ugly siren.
“No, no, no,” I yelled in fear.
