Chapter 116 - CHAPTER 113

Ermanno took over a more serious personality for himself. He didn't want anyone to take advantage of him anymore. He had sealed his heart in a stone cage and decided to never let anyone break into it. 

Of course, he had his Rose inside the cage locked in. 

He developed his computer to a level where every multi-national business wanted it. 

He now bought a skyscr.a.p.er opposite the Devonte corp and the inauguration of the building and a new feature launch of his supercomputer were happening two days before Xavier's and Sabrina's birthday.

Xavier was almost 1 year and Ermanno had been living in the mansion with Elisio and Sabrina.

Zeke advised Ermanno to move to a villa near Elisio's side of the mansion. Zeke wanted him to be close by to Xavier and have his privacy too.

Ermanno agreed but never used the villa. He was in the mansion at night and woke up in the morning. Ermanno was a committed father and Xavier loved his father.

Elisio did get jealous at times when Xavier would run to Ermanno instead of him. But in truth, nothing made Elisio happier than seeing his boys happy.

Ermanno did not date anyone in this past year. 

"Not everything is about s.e.x dad. And it's just disgusting to go for one night stands" said Ermanno.

"Suit yourself," said Elisio giving up on talking about it for past one year.

It was a grand launch and Elisio insisted on taking Xavier with him to the launch and let's not forget to mention they were wearing matching suits with fedora hats.

Sabrina and Ermanno hid their laughs seeing Elisio and Xavier.

"Dad you are wearing a hat," said Ermanno.

"Yes, we both are," said Elisio looking at Xavier.

"Aww. You both look adorable" said Sabrina.

All three and of course Xavier got into the Limousine to leave to the launch.

"We need to stop to pick my date," said Ermanno and driver drove towards Arlo's side of the mansion and Aria got into the car with them.

Elisio looked at Aria and then at Ermanno and said "this is just sad. I understand Ermanno but what's wrong with you?" Asked Elisio looking at Aria.

"I am gay," said Aria.

"What?" Asked Sabrina.

"Relax mummy. That's what I say to boys so that they don't distract me from my studies" said Aria.

"As I said. This is sad" said Elisio and Xavier started laughing at Aria.

Elisio smiled and said "even Xavi is laughing at you" 

"God, you are mean. Do you know how proud dad was when he came to know I was pretending to be gay to keep boys away from me?"

"He should be. He is your father. He is worried about you. But I can make fun of you" said Elisio.

"Elisio. Don't be mean" said Sabrina.

"Ya don't be mean dad. She is only covering up the truth which is that she can't get a guy so she is pretending to be gay and lying" said Ermanno.

"Like father like son. By the way. I said yes to be your date. And you can't get a girl too." Said Aria.

"I could have but I didn't want you to go alone," said Ermanno.

"Aren't you the sweetest. Thank you" said Aria sarcastically.

"Your welcome," said Ermanno.

Aria rolled her eyes.

Xavier saw Aria and rolled his head trying to copy Aria.

Everyone laughed at his cute attempt.

All reached Ermanno's company's building and there was media outside the building to take pictures of their favourite couple.

And today they were in an extra treat as they got a glimpse of the new Devonte.

Elisio and Sabrina walked out of the limousine with Xavier in Elisio's arm. Sabrina and Elisio walked into the venue though the reporters were shouting for pictures. Elisio screamed "not our day. It's all Ermanno and Brad's day today"

"You brought Xavier with you?" Asked Isaiah.

"Yes, we are partners in crime," said Elisio.

"You are starting to behave like dad with you. Dad used to bring you everywhere. And you were so used to the crowd that nothing actually bothered you. You would eat with him. And were so mannered when with him" said Zeke.

"Oh my god. That means Xavi is like Elisio?" Asked Sabrina.

"Why is that so wrong?" Asked Elisio.

"I just ..I mean.. what I meant was... he gives me and the maids a hard time and when he is with you he is so mannered. I mean it's good that he is mannered" said Sabrina smiling.

Elisio looked at Sabrina and said "good thing I love you" 

Sabrina kissed his cheek and said "you should" and all the table busted out laughing.

Ermanno and Brad were mingling with the guests when Ermanno came to meet Rosalyn. 

"Rosalyn? Oh my god. It's been forever that we met. Last time I saw you was at your wedding with.. what was his name again?" Said Ermanno.

"Oh please. Don't pretend to forget. I know you have a photogenic memory." Said Rosalyn.

"Hahaha.. you got me. So, how is that ass? Oh my god you must have like a few dozen kids by now" said Ermanno.

"He is fine and no. We don't have children and neither are we together" said Rosalyn looking at Ermanno awkwardly.

"Oh. I am sorry. Guess I have a shitty prediction for love. I thought you will age-old together. I mean you were perfect together" said Ermanno.

"Ya. Things don't work out sometimes. I heard about you too" said Rosalyn.

"Ya. Shit happens" said Ermanno.

"Hey, cheer up. I am here to see what you have done new with your supercomputer. I mean I have to see if it's worth spending money on." Said Rosalyn.

"I hope you like it and buy our services and product as I would love to hang out with you." Said Ermanno.

"I don't mix business with pleasure. I focus my attention at one task per time" flirted Rosalyn.

"Hmm. I'll remember that" smirked Ermanno and both busted out laughing.

"I can't even flirt with you seriously" laughed Rosalyn.

"We know eachother way too much to try that," said Ermanno and Rosalyn nodded and agreed with him.

Elisio was smiling looking at Ermanno laughing with a girl.

But Sabrina had anger on her face.
