Chapter 57

Everyone left to New York the next morning except Vincenzo and Sarah who were accompanying Arlo and Sabina to New York in the afternoon.

Everyone loved Rose who was comfortable with everyone and served breakfast along side Sabrina.

Even Elisio praised how well Rose cooked the Italian breakfast casserole for breakfast.

Ermanno was seated in the breakfast table with everyone when he looked at his phone with crease on his forehead. He then smirked and looked up at Rose who was busy talking with all the women.

Rose turned and looked at Ermanno and then looked at his phone in his hand.

She looked up at him and smiled.

Ermanno smiled back at her.

'he is so dumb' thought Rose.

After breakfast everyone started leaving and Ermanno pulled Rose close by her waist and asked "do you want me to drop you to the apartment?"

Sabrina was the last to leave and was talking to Sabina when she saw Rose in Ermanno's arms.

"No. I'll stay with Sabina aunt and leave to our apartment when they all leave to New York" said Rose.

"Hmm... Okay. Tell me you love me" said Ermanno.

Rose smiled and said "I love you" and kissed his lips.

Sabrina looked away smiling and Sabina smiled too and said "she is a good girl. Hope you were right when you said she will make him better person"

"I really hope so. But also wish he is good to her. I don't want her to be in an abusive relationship" said Sabrina.

"Let's give them time" said Sabina and Sabrina nodded.

Ermanno hugged Sabrina sidewise and held her close and walked her out of the mansion.

"Be nice" said Sabrina kissing his cheek and left his side and sat in the car with Elisio.

Everyone left and Ermanno looked at Sabina and said "Vincenzo will discharge Arlo uncle and bring him here and then you and Sarah grandma can leave for New York with them. If you need me, call me"

Sabina nodded and then Ermanno looked at Rose and said goodbye and got into his car and drove off.

"He drives his own car" said Rose.

"Yes. He and EJ used to drive formula 1 races. But Sabrina and Ambryl begged them to stop. They love cars a bit more than the others." Laughed Sabina and got inside the mansion.

Rose stood outside for a minute alone and then smirked and whispered to herself "He drives his own car. Noted"

Arlo was seated in the passenger seat with Vincenzo who was concentrating on his driving.

"I am okay" said Arlo.

"I am glad" said Vincenzo.

"You haven't spoken to me since morning" said Arlo.

"Lot in my mind dad" said Vincenzo.

"What's bugging you?" Asked Arlo.

"I heard your conversations with Sabrina mom today morning" said Vincenzo holding the shearing wheel tight.

"Oh. Do you hate me know?" Asked Arlo looking down at his lap.

"If Sabrina mom has forgiven you. Then I am no one. But I want to know from you, why?" Asked Vincenzo.

"Why... I.. Sabrina.. " started Arlo but was stopped by Vincenzo who said "no. I don't want to know why you did what you did. Cause I know we all make stupid decisions which we are responsible for ourselves. What I want to know is why you stressed on it now?"

Arlo huffed and said "Ermanno thinks you are getting close to Rose and when I thought about it all my past came back to me and I didn't want you to make the same mistake as I did."

"Did Sabrina mom love you too?" Asked Vincenzo.

"No. She may not have even fallen in love with Elisio by then. But she respected her marriage vows and worked hard on her marriage and refused me many times" said Arlo.

"Dad I assure you that there is nothing between me and Rose. And if me talking to her would stress you then I know I may sound like a complete ass but f.u.c.k her. I can give up a thousand Rose for you but can never do anything which will put you in shame or in bad health. Please never stress for me. And if you ever think I am at wrong, please correct me but never scare us" said Vincenzo with tears in his eyes parking the car in front of the mansion.

Arlo smiled and said "I am proud that I am blessed with a good child who is way better than me"

"Na. You are the best. I have always seen you as hero and now can also see as a human" said Vincenzo and both father and son came out of the car and walked in the mansion.

Vincenzo smiled at Rose and soon got busy filling the cars with luggage for their departure to New York.

Soon Arlo, Sabina, Sarah and Vincenzo left to the airport.

All Vincenzo said to Rose before leaving was "take care"

"Hmm.. strange. No goodbye hug" said Rose and pouted her lips and then left to her apartment without giving it too much of thought.

Ermanno walked into his apartment in the evening and smelled home cooked food.

He walked to the kitchen and saw Rose near the kitchen sink dressed in a short pink dress with fluffy sleeves and a bow behind her. She was wearing frill socks and black 4inches heels.

"Mio Rosa" called Ermanno.

Rose turned to look at him and smiled. She went close to him and hugged him and kissed his lips and asked "how was your day?" 

"Too much of work. Dad was right I may need help to manage both my office and Arlo uncle's office."

"Make me your assistance. I love to help." Said Rose

Ermanno smiled at her and held her hair from behind her head and pulled her for a passionate kiss.

He broke the kiss and said "you will be perfect as my assistant but for now I want to play with you"

"Play with me as you please. But after dinner." Said Rose.

"I have always loved you and hated you cause I didn't want to love you but couldn't stop. I love you and will love you till your last breath. I want to use this time we have together loving you to the fullest." Said Ermanno.

"I am not going anywhere" said Rose.

"Hmm" said Ermanno and kissed him again.
