Chapter 104 - CHAPTER 103

Ermanno drove off out of the mansion and had a smile on his face. 

He looked at Rose for a second after driving for a few minutes and asked: "why are you so silent Mio Rosa?"

Rose was looking out of the window deep in thought. She turned to look at Ermanno and said "I was thinking of the time when we first met. I remember seeing you for the first time when you were standing out of our house waiting for Sofia. You looked so handsome and tall. God, you were so tall. You looked like a giant. But a beautiful giant. Remember when we shook hands when I introduced myself to you?

My hand disappeared in your hand." Said Rose and both laughed and then she continued "did you ever wish we never met that day?"

"All the time. I wished I never met you when you were that young. I always imagined meeting you when you were older. First, I wish I didn't date Sofia in the first place. Then I would fool around a little in college and meet all the wrong girls. Then when I would look for a girl to settle down with. I would have found you and we would fall in love and marry and of course have our little Xavier. We would make more babies and live happily ever after" said Ermanno.

"Wow. You thought a lot" said Rose.

"I never stopped thinking about you. I fought myself too much to not love you. I convinced myself that I hated you but I guess I lost the battle and your love won" said Ermanno.

"The life you imagined for us sounds like a dream. Maybe in another life time, we could live that life" said Rose.

"We still have a long life, Rose. We can live our life our way" said Ermanno.

"We don't have a long life Ermanno. Our story ends today" said Rose.

"What do you mean?" Asked Ermanno but Rose didn't answer.

After a few seconds, Ermanno tried to slow down his car but the breaks wouldn't work. 

"F.u.c.k. Rose the breaks are not working" said Ermanno.

"I know," said Rose.

"Rose what did you do?" Asked Ermanno.

"Xavier deserves better than us. Mummy will love him and I guess Mr Devonte will love him too" said Rose.

"Rose you had no right to take away my time with my son," said Ermanno.

"I am sorry Ermanno. But Sofia wanted this. She wanted you and me with her. She has always been with me. She may not have been there when she was alive but after she died, us sisters have become very close. She tells me to do everything. She makes me do bad things too. Like I didn't want to hurt Katrina but she said I should hurt her so that she doesn't tell everything about me and Sofia. And now. now Sofia told me to kill Xavier" said Rose.

"Rose" called Ermanno shocked to hear that she would have hurt Xavier.

"No. I would never hurt Xavier. That's why I told her to leave but I really can't send her away. She was with me when no one was. Now sending her away to stay alone would be unfair. So she suggested we join her" said Rose.

"Rose, Sofia is dead. It's all you. It's all you. Oh god Rose. Why? Why?" Cried Ermanno.

"Don't cry Ermanno. It started with all three of us and now it will end with three of us. We three can stay together," said Rose.

The mansion was a little outside new york so there was not much traffic there. So Ermanno decided to drive around the free road as he was driving in full speed.

"You drive well. But you have to stop somewhere" said Rose.

"You mean crash?" Asked Ermanno.

"Yes," said Rose.

"Tell me, mio Rosa. What if we survive this? Do you have any idea what will happen to you?" Asked Ermanno.

"We won't survive and if we do I guess I'll try something else," said Rose.

"No my love you will not try anything else. Cause I will have to choose my son over you. I promise I will not listen to my heart and hand you over to my dad." Said Ermanno with a hard expression.

He then received a call from Vincenzo.

"Bro, you are driving too fast. Slow down" said Vincenzo.

"The breaks are not working. Can't slow down" said Ermanno.

"F.u.c.k. What will you do?" Asked Vincenzo driving behind Ermanno trying to match his speed. And calling from his Bluetooth.

"I have a plan. Just try to catch up" said Ermanno.

"I have your back bro," said Vincenzo.

"There is no point Ermanno. We should accept our faith" said Rose.

"No,  Mio Rosa. Our faith is not dying like this. I would have accepted death with you if I didn't have my son. But my priorities have changed. I want to live for my child. And I am not letting you die either." Said Ermanno and opened the roof of the convertible. He drove to a nearby lake and drove the car right into the lake.

The car crashed into the water and Ermanno opened his seatbelt and saw Rose had hit her head on the dashboard. He quickly opened her seatbelt too.

Vincenzo saw the car crash into the water and left his bike and jumped into the water behind them.

He saw Ermanno trying to get Rose out the car and he swam to them and he helped Ermanno swim with Rose to the shore.

Vincenzo lifted Rose in his arms and walked away from the shore. 

Ermanno sat on the shore and coughed out the water. 

The guards Elisio sent rushed to help them. Vincenzo lifted Rose again and ran to one of the cars the guard had brought in. 

One of the guards helped Ermanno to walk to the car too.

One guard drove Vincenzo's bike to the mansion.
