Chapter Nineteen

The house was immaculate. A welcome home sign in Italian, draped part of a wall. An impressive buffet of delicacies, meat and wine were on the table. A note, not her husband awaited in a chair.

A domestic helper appeared and collected Nicole’s bags. She didn’t speak, only smiled and she wondered if Giuseppe cut out her tongue because she seemed so docile and solicitous.

When she overcame her shyness, she spoke and Nicole thanked the stars she used English. “Buongiorno Signora, Signore Dichenzo says he will be home shortly.”

Nicole rolled her eyes. Giuseppe and his theatrics were similar to a night at the Met. “Whatever.” She took Carlo upstairs to run his bath.

The woman tripped over herself to intervene. “Ne, I will be fired. I am told to take care of giovani and allow you to rest.”

“By let me guess, my husband.” Nicole continued ushering Carlo up the stairs. “What’s your name?” she asked the woman over her shoulder.

“Francesca.”

“Francesca, when it comes to my home, I’m in charge, do you understand?”

“Sí,” she replied nervously.

“Signore Dichenzo when he is present will agree.”

“Sí, Signora.”
