Chapter 54

Ermanno passed out on the bed and Rose was removing his shoes and pants when his phone made a noise notifying that he has received a message.

Rose removed his phone and saw Sabrina and his picture on the screen.

Rose smiled and opened the phone and was shocked to see he didn't have any locks.

"Dumbass," said Rose and went through his messages.

Then she remembered that this was a great time to clone his phone and add a chip in it to divert his texts and send it to her. And maybe she could send some texts from him to others. 

And that's what she did.

She was well prepared for everything.

"I did have 5 years to plan it all" silent laughed Rose at her evil plan. After finishing she went back to the bedroom and saw Ermanno still sleeping on the bed.

She went out of the room and down the stairs and into the kitchen.

She made herself a sandwich and sat on the dining table and looked more in his phone.

She was going through some messages on his phone and saw him text a lot to Sabrina, EJ and Arlo. She even saw a group in WhatsApp called the Devonte which had all the Devonte.

"I should add myself in this" and she added herself in.

Her phone chimed with messages from many Devonte's welcoming her to the group.

She smiled and then received a private message from Arlo in Ermanno's phone saying he needs to talk to Ermanno about his relationship with Rose.

Rose messages Arlo from Ermanno's phone telling him not to interfere in his personal matter.

Arlo wrote back saying if Ermanno was out of his mind to talk to him this way.

To which Rose replied, of course, from Ermanno's phone that, Arlo should act like an uncle and not try to be his father.

Of course,  Arlo didn't like that Ermanno was being insensitive and messaged him that he should not be disrespectful and act responsibly to not only him and also Rose.

Rose smirked and wrote 'i will do what I please with her. And I would appreciate if you would mind your own kid and tell him to stay away from Rose. He has been close to her before and I would appreciate he would keep his distance from her'Arlo was shocked to know Vincenzo made advances towards Rose.

Arlo felt like the whole world was spinning. He didn't want his son to go through the same regret and shame he went through. Rose deleted her conversation with Arlo and then went through EJ's texts which said that Ermanno needs to move on from the idea of killing Rose and giving the marriage a chance.

"Kill me? Ya. Dream on it" said, Rose.

And sent EJ a text saying 'i will kill her after I am satisfied with using her'EJ instantly texted back 'don't go so low man. You can find many more pussies. But killing her after using her? That's really really low. She is human. And what if Sabrina comes to know what you are up to?'

'i know what I want. So f.u.c.k.i.n.g keep your opinion to yourself'

'you are a lost cause man. But remember, it was Sabrina who thought us to support the weak and stand against injustice. So if it comes to a point where we have to choose. It's obvious everyone will choose Rose against your f.u.c.k.i.e.d up thoughts of killing her'

'i will do what I want to so, f.u.c.k off' wrote Rose and laughed out loud.

'f.u.c.k you' texted EJ.

"This is fun," said Rose. Just as she was about to go up the stairs she heard her phone ring.

It was Vincenzo.

She smiled and picked the phone.

"How are you?" Asked Vincenzo.

"I am good. He took me to Italy and left me in the room and only came to see me to force himself on me and brought me back. He was out drinking and came back now and forced himself on me again and now is passed out on the bed. Vinci what did I do to deserve this?" asked Rose in a sad voice.

"Rose. Sabrina mummy has faith in you. For her sake I want you to try working out with Ermanno. She is very important to us. And seeing her sad makes us all sad. Please, Rose. How about you give him a chance till Thomas and Julius wedding. If you still can't handle him we will think of something. Okay?" Said Vincenzo.

"Okay. I'll do it cause you want me to. I really do love you Vinci" said Rose.

"Thank you, Rose." Said Vincenzo trying to ignore that Rose said I love you to him. Rose went up to her room and slept on the other side of the bed and stretched and said: "got so much of work done today." And looked at Ermanno and went close to him and kissed his lips and said "my hubby is in trouble" and giggled.

She hugged him and slept on his chest. Arlo had a bottle of scotch in his hand and a cigar in his other hand. He was seated in his study in darkness.

"Darkness only hides the pain not heals it," said Sabina walking in the study.

"Exactly darkness hides it well," said Arlo.

Sabina went close to Arlo and straddled him on his chair and said: "what's troubling you?"

"My dark past doesn't let go of me. I don't want it to spread its wings on my children" said Arlo with tears in his eyes and suddenly he felt a pain in his chest and couldn't breathe.

Sabina stood up from his lap and screamed for help.

The guards rushed in and took Arlo to the car and took him to the hospital. Ermanno was in deep sleep when he heard his phone ring.

He opens his eyes to see Rose in his arms and smiles.

He picks his phone and hears Sabina crying and saying Arlo is in the hospital.

Ermanno wakes Rose and her face goes pale listening to Arlo being in the hospital.

'What have I done?" Thought Rose.
