Chapter Twenty-Five

The Unfiltered Truth

Sorrento, Italy

Mirabella sat in the chair with the side of her face resting between her pointer finger and thumb. She stared at her husband until all her tears had dried up. To her feet, and splayed out across the floor were the pictures of his betrayal. Giovanni slept. Physically he was lost to her. Mirabella wondered again, when had she lost him emotionally as well.

“Scusi, Donna Mirabella?” Dr. Singh walked in. He seemed surprised to find her seated. Two of his nurses collided with him when he stopped. He was forced to come inside with the staff following. She sat up and immediately bent over to pick up the photographs that had scattered. No one should know her shame.

“There has been no change,” Mirabella said in a feeble attempt to mask her despair and recover her dignity. She stuffed the pictures back in the envelope. “He hasn’t even moved his eyelids.”

“Unfortunately, his test results say the same,” the doctor said.

“Why?” Mirabella stood and faced him and the staff. “You have what you need. He’s off the ventilators. He’s got brain activity and his body is healing. Why is he still in a coma?”

“Signora, it is something we can’t explain right now. But we are trying.”

“Is he faking?” She turned on him. “Is that it, Gio? You’re laying there faking, making me think you need me when you really don’t!”

“Signora... no, no, he’s not pretending. He’s in a coma. The good news is he is healing. Sometimes the mind works mysteriously.”

“I don’t pay you for mysteries,” Mirabella said. “Find out what is wrong with my husband and wake him the hell up. Do you understand me?”

“Sì, Signora. Sì.”

The nurses busied themselves with Giovanni’s care, but she could tell by their hurried manner they got the message as well. Mirabella shook her head and walked out. As she headed to the stairs Mirabella’s eyes lifted to the door at the far end of the hall. One would have to pass the stairs and continue along the hall to it as a single destination. It was a destination she never ventured towards. From the moment she moved into Melanzana, that door remained locked and closed. Giovanni asked her to keep it off limits to everyone in the house. Later, Catalina explained it housed all of his mother’s things.

Mirabella stared at the door for a moment. Secrets were part of his life, but now the pictures in her hand proved there were secrets between them as well. And it made her sick with resentment. Was she a bad person to be angry with her husband while he lay fighting for his life?

She went downstairs to find her children. She was afraid of the answer to that question.
