Chapter 138 - CHAPTER 135

After spending a lot of time in the mall and shopping. Elisio, Sabrina, Emerald and Xavier came back to the mansion.

Xavier never liked Sabrina or Elisio talking to anyone except him. 

And today Emerald was taking all his time with his mama and papa.

He was being a brat at times too.

Xavier even got scolded for his behaviour.

"Xavi, I am really disappointed in your behaviour today. You never behaved like this before. What's wrong?" Asked Sabrina seated in the limousine with Emerald beside her.

Xavier looked at Emerald and looked away from her and looked outside.

"Xavier, my fiore is asking you something" said Elisio with authority and that's what pulled the last string and he started shedding tears and looked down at his lap and said "I am sorry mama. I will not do it again"

Elisio knew what was wrong. 

Xavier had always got his and Sabrina's undivided attention till now. And now seeing Emerald with them made him sad. Elisio knew how to talk to him.

After they reached the mansion Sabrina took Emerald to her room and strated dressing her for Thomas's son, Caleb's birthday party.

Xavier stood outside Sabrina's closet and was fuming seeing Emerald in Sabrina's closet. 

Sabrina was dressing Emerald in her closet into a beautiful princess gown which they bought in the mall.

"You look so cute. I always wanted a girl to dress her, do her hair and love her so much" said Sabrina and kissed Emerald.

'so you didn't want me mummy?' though Xavier to himself.

Xavier hated Emerald.

He walked out of the room and into his room. He started throwing few things here and there and screamed into the pillow.

"I hate her. I hate her. I hate her" screamed Xavier and cried.

Elisio walks in Xavier's room and sees it all disoriented.

He sees Xavier on the bed, on his stomach and holding his pillow under his head.

Elisio moved forward and sees Xavier with creased eyebrows and thinking.

"What is my little devil thinking?" Asked Elisio.

"Nothing" said Xavier and looked away from Elisio.

"I can do anything in this world to see my Xavi happy. All he has to do is say it" said Elisio.

"Can you get rid of someone?" Asked Xavier.

"Depends who it is" said Elisio.

Xavier sits up and looks and Elisio and says "I want you to send away Emerald"

Elisio exactly knows what's happening. He had hated his siblings all his childhood.

He even hurt them at times.

Elisio had gone to an extent to plan murder on them. But his grandfather thought him that siblings are your blood and they will never betray you.

Time to pass on the wisdom, thought Elisio to himself and smiled.

"I wish that was easy. Trust me if it was, I would not have three brothers" said Elisio.

Xavier looks at Elisio confused and asks "what do you mean?"

Elisio smiles at Xavier and sits down beside him on his bed and says "see Xavi. Some people stick to you no matter you like it or not. Like your parents, siblings, relatives and all. You can't get rid of them. You have to just deal with them. Now tell me, do you want me to go away?" 

"What? Never" said Xavier and climbed on Elisio and hugged him.

"Exactly. Some people are stuck to you. Some you like and some you don't. Did you know you didn't like me when you were born" said Elisio.

"No way I love you" said Xavier.

"You love me now. But you didn't come to me when you were born. But as you grew up a little you realised I am awesome and fell in love with me." Said Xavier.

"You are awesome. You are my hero" said Elisio.

"You came to know this when we hung out. Hang out with Emerald and see if you like her. And remember she is one of us. And we as family stick together" said Elisio. 

Xavier didn't want to but it was Elisio who was telling to do something so, there is no way he wouldn't do it. 

Elisio saw Xavier considering his words so, he continued "I want you to do something for me. You see I got a small gift which I want you to give it to Emerald" 

"Why?" Asked Xavier taking a small box from Elisio.

"Because she will be happy that her big brother gave her a gift and everyone will see such a wonderful boy my Xavi is. People will not know you are a good boy till you show them you are. " said Elisio and 

Xavi nodded.

"Now come on. Let's get you all handsome" said Elisio.

"Is mummy not going to help me dress up?" Asked Xavier.

"Dress you? What are you a girl? Please, men dress themselves. And who is my little man?" Asked Elisio.

"I am" screamed Xavier and jumped on the bed.

Elisio smiled and Xavier got ready for the birthday party.

Elisio and Xavier came down and saw Sabrina and Emerald ready to leave.

"Look at my handsome boys" said Sabrina with a smile.

"Mama. Do you love me?" Asked Xavier.

Sabrina kissed his cheek and said "always." 

Xavier smiled and looked at Emerald and gave her the gift box.

"Take it" said Xavier dryly.

"Thank you " said Emerald and with Sabrina's help opened the box.

Emerald gasped out loud and screamed and ran to Xavier and hugged him tight.

"I love you. Thank you so much" said Emerald happy to see a small diamond tiara.

"Oh Xavi you are the best boy in the whole world. I love so much my handsome little man." Said Sabrina and hugged him.

Xavier smiled and looked at Elisio and Elisio winked and said "girls like gifts. Especially diamonds. No matter the age. Remember that"

Xavier always remembered Elisio's lessons. Sometimes by listening to him or by observing him.

Xavier was the centre of attention in this party and couldn't be more happy. Everyone praised him to be such a good big brother by giving Emerald a sweet gift.

"You are such a good boy. I am so proud of you. You have made me so happy today Xavi." said Ermanno and hugged Xavier.

"Wow, Xavier. I can't believe you could gift her such a gift. Thank you. Oh god I love you so much" said Rose and hugged him next.

"You love me?" Asked Xavier.

"I always have and always will. I am your mummy and will shower you with all the love I couldn't for so long" said Rose and smiled.

Xavier nodded and left Rose's side and went to play with Romeo and Raffaele.

Rose looked at Xavier and Sabrina asked "what are you thinking?"

"Mummy, Xavi is so.. so.. like.. " said Rose but couldn't complete her sentence. She wanted to say, he is so much like Elisio but there is no way she could say it to Sabrina and hurt her.

"So what?" Asked Sabrina.

"So dry. The only emotion he truly shows is anger" said Rose.

"He is a very sweet boy. Once he starts liking you, he will shower you with all the love. Just get to know him and be patient" said Sabrina.

Rose smiled at Sabrina and said "you can only see the good in people, can you?" 

"Because she is a good person" said Ermanno and hugged Sabrina from behind and said "I love you mummy"

"I love you too baby" said Sabrina.

"Wow. Is my son going to be this clingy?" Teased Rose.

"You have to be a good mother for that" said Ermanno.

Rose stopped smiling and Sabrina said "you are a great mother, Rose. Not everyone agrees to start fresh with their partner for their children. I am proud of both of you. And I have high expectations for both of you. Don't disappoint me this time."

"I'll try my best mummy. I really want this" said Rose.

"Every relationship takes time to grow to become a beautiful experience. Let it be husband and wife, or a mother and child." Said Sabrina.

Rose smiled and Sabrina left them both to talk to others in the party.

Rose looked at Ermanno and asked "can I ask you something"

Ermanno looked at Rose and said "sure, what's in your mind?"

"is this what is between us? We are doing this for our children?"

"Let's not get into the dept of what this is. Let's just say, right now we are going to work on what's in front of us. Which is the well-being and upbringing of our children." Said Ermanno.

"You said you love me" said Rose with a sad face.

"I never stopped. I have always loved you and no matter what, I don't think I can stop. Only now I realise, I can't be blinded by your love. I have to keep an eye on you... My love" smirked Ermanno and kissed her lips very lightly.

"You know I miss you" said Rose.

"I am here" said Ermanno.

"I miss in the bedroom" said Rose.

Ermanno smirked and said "be a good girl and you will be rewarded"

"Oh, I will be the best" said Rose.

"That's all I want" said Ermanno.
