Chapter 88 - 87

Ermanno sent away Sabrina's driver and wanted to drop Sabrina himself.

"Is it because you want to meet Rose?" Teased Sabrina.

"Mom stop it. I am still a bit angry at her" said Ermanno.

Sabrina smiled and looked outside the window of the car, seated in the passenger seat of Ermanno's car.

"You should hire a driver," said Sabrina.

"I like to drive my car mummy," said Ermanno.

Sabrina and Ermanno entered the mansion and found it extremely silent.

"Where are they?" Asked Sabrina.

They both looked in their rooms and didn't find them.

They both came down again and looked at the two sitting rooms, dining room, kitchen and yet nothing.

In the end, went into the entertainment room and found Rose sleeping on Elisio's shoulder and Elisio sleeping, seated on the couch with his head at the back of the coach.

Ermanno smiled and took a picture of them on his phone and Sabrina giggled.

Listening to Sabrina giggle Elisio opened his eyes and looked at them.

He then turned and screamed "e. gross.." 

Rose woke up and looked at Elisio and asked: "what's wrong with you?".

"For the love of God. You have droll on my shirt." Said Elisio and started removing his shirt.

Rose creased her eyebrows and then looked around to find Ermanno standing in front of her.

Rose and Ermanno just looked at eachother and Sabrina was telling Elisio to cool down and it's only a little droll.

"But it's her's. Gross" said Elisio.

"Stop it Elisio," said Sabrina.

Rose looked at Elisio and was staring at Elisio's chest.

"Don't be a perv, girl?" said Elisio.

Rose rolled her eyes and said "please, don't flatter yourself. You have nothing my hubby doesn't have. I was just looking at the scar at your chest. Is that.. is that mummy's name" said Rose coming close to Elisio and continued "oh my god. Hubby, you should totally do this for me" 

Ermanno looked at Rose and said "if you haven't noticed. I am still mad at you for making a scene in front of the whole family and tagging me as a child molester." 

"Oh come on. It's water under the bridge. I will so totally love you if you would write my name on your chest." Said Rose and looked at the knife on the centre table, picked it up and went close to Ermanno.

Elisio pushed Sabrina behind him seeing Rose approach them with a knife.

Rose stood in her place and looked at Elisio and said "why did you push mom behind you? Do you think I will hurt her? I would never do that".

Sabrina moved Elisio a little and approached Rose and said "he can be a little overprotective. Don't mind him"

Ermanno went close to Rose and took the knife from her hand and said "I have your name in my heart, Mio Rosa. But you need to earn me to write your name on my skin too"

"So I am forgiven?" Asked Rose.

"No. I am still mad at you. But if you agree to go to the psychiatrist again. I will forgive you." Said Ermanno.

Rose looked at Sabrina and asked,, "what do you want mummy?"

"Ermanno looks like a changed person as he is working on being better for you and the child. You should try to better yourself too. You need closure, Rose. You need to close one chapter of your life to start a new one" said Sabrina running her hand in Rose's hair.

Rose smiled and said "I'll do as you say,  mummy. Will you support me through this?" 

"I'll always support you and stand by you in everything you do," said Sabrina.

Rose smiled and looked at Ermanno and asked: "are you staying hubby?"

"No. I will stay in the apartment for a little while more. Let's work this all out slowly and not rush into it" said Ermanno.

"Will you at least walk me to my room? I want to kiss you good night" said Rose and Sabrina laughed and looked away to see Elisio with a crease on his forehead.

"Okay," said Ermanno.

Rose smiled and started walking out of the room with Ermanno but stopped and looked back at Elisio and walked back to him and said "thank you for a lovely evening. I liked your stories." And stood on her tippy toes and whispered in his ears "FYI. It's not mummy I want to hurt" and gave a small peck on Elisio cheek and then smirked at him.

Elisio looked at Rose and then down and saw her rub her stomach.

Elisio was terrified for the first time.

Rose tilted her head and said "I like to break my toys too"

Rose walked away from Elisio and held Ermanno's hand and walked out of the room.

Sabrina went close to Elisio and asked "what's wrong Elisio? You look like you have seen a ghost".

Elisio looked at Sabrina and said "Fiore. I have some work. I'll be in my study. You go to sleep, okay" 

"Elisio, talk to me. What's wrong?" Asked Sabrina worried.

Elisio looked at Sabrina and said, "I love you, Mio Fiore".

Sabrina smiled and hugged him and said "I love you too. And don't work too much." And kissed Elisio and left the room and Elisio rushed to his study.

Ermanno walked to Rose's room and she pulled him inside and pushed him to the bed. 

She stood in front of him and started removing her clothes when Ermanno stopped her and made her sit on his lap. 

"Aren't you attracted to me any more?" Asked Rose.

"Rose, don't you see the seriousness of the situation we are in? Mio Rosa, I have been nothing but patient with you. And you have been plotting schemes on me and my family. Do you even realise what's happening here? And now look at you. You are pretending as nothing happened. Just cause my family accepted me doesn't make everything right. We have to talk to eachother and work out our relationship. I want you and my baby with me and being a happy family. Love, let's move on. I promise to love you every day, every second of my life. Give me another chance. Give us a second chance" begged Ermanno.

"So you don't want to f.u.c.k?" Asked Rose.

Ermanno looked at Rose exhausted and hugged her and said "I am so sorry for what I have done to you my Rose. If I knew I would lose the smart, sensitive and loving Rose. I would never have come close to you. Forgive me, my love. Please forgive me." 

"There is only one thing I can think of which we can do together and all will be forgiven," said Rose.

"Tell me what it is and I'll do it," said Ermanno.

"I'll tell you what it is when the time is right." Said Rose.

"I'll do everything you say," said Ermanno.

Rose smiled and kissed his lips.

And before any things else happens Ermanno got up from his place and said: "I have to go now."

"Sure you don't want a quicky?" Asked Rose.

Ermanno smiled and said "Mio Rosa. It was never about s.e.x. What I want from you is more than s.e.x. I want to love you, Cherish you and be with you. That's all I have ever wanted. I was immature before. But now I will prove to you my love" 

"Is it too late?" Asked Rose with tears in her eyes.

Ermanno smiled and ran his thumb on her lips and said "it's morning when you wake up. I have opened my eyes to a life where I see clearly what I want. I see myself, you and our child. Open your eyes too and see the view I am seeing and let the new days sunlight shine on us"

Rose smiled and hugged him and after kissing her forehead, Ermanno said goodnight and left her room.
