The party was fun and Thomas was very happy to have Rose beside him.
"You have given my son the ultimate gift. And made me very happy" said Thomas.
"I am happy to attend the party. And God he looks so much like you" said Rose holding celeb.
"Yes, as handsome as his father" said Julia and side hugged Thomas.
Thomas kissed Julia on her lips and Rose said "get a room".
They three laughed and Rose said "FYI. I am always open for babysitting"
"Definitely will remember that" said Thomas.
The whole family welcomed Emerald and Rose.
Rose could see some were skeptic but they needed time to trust Rose again.
"You created a lot of drama. It will take a some work from your side to make everyone trust you again" said Martina to Rose.
"Yeah, I know" said Rose looking down on the floor.
"You know what you should do?" Said Sasha.
Rose looked at Sasha and she said "you should concentrate on your children and Ermanno. The others will see your determination and will love you again"
Rose nodded and Martina said "everyone here only expects for us to be happy and have a smooth running and loving relationship with our husbands. It's really sweet that we all can be this open, close and understanding with eachother"
"Yeah, it nice here" said Sasha.
"Rose, if you ever want our help in anyway, don't hesitate" said Martina.
"We are family" said Sasha and hugged Rose.
Rose loved her talk with Martina and Sasha.
Everyone was taking turns to talk to Emerald and found her extremely polite and friendly.
"Emerald, meet Bella. She is Julius's daughter." Said Ermanno and pointed at Julius and continued "Julius is my cousin"
"Does he live in the palace too?" Asked Emerald.
"Palace?" Asked Julius.
"Dad said to her that the mansion is a palace" said Ermanno.
"He is not completely wrong" said Enrique.
Bella was almost four and was Julius and Sasha's daughter.
"Hi" said Bella.
"Hi" said Emerald.
"I like your dress and tiara. I have a tiara too" said Bella.
"Are you a princess too?" asked Emerald.
"Yes, she is my princess" said Julius smiling at Bella.
"And Emerald is my princess" smiled Ermanno.
"Aww.. I want a princess too" said EJ and looked at Martina and she said "you didn't want more kids"
"Ya. You are right. I'll just love these two too much" said EJ and picked both Bella and Emerald in his arms and bounced them and both girls laughed out loud.
Ermanno didn't leave Emerald for a second. He constantly kept her close to him.
You could see a genuine smile on his face having Emerald in his arms.
Ethan and Kyle left to England and didn't attend the birthday as Ethan couldn't take another good bye.
"I have a surprise for both of you in your new house. Let me know if you like it. And Xavi, I have sent your dog to your new home" said Elisio and Xavier nodded with a sad face.
"Why the sad face?" Asked Arlo seated beside Elisio.
Xavier looked at Elisio and said "you said, my new home" and pouted.
"Sorry. Let me rephrase it. Your temporary new home. In which you will live for very little time" said Elisio.
"Promise?" Asked Xavier.
"Have I ever lied to you?" Asked Elisio.
"No, you never lie papa" said Xavier.
Isaiah, Nevio, Bruce , Zeke and Arlo didn't move their eyes from Elisio.
Xavier got of Elisio's lap and ran away to play.
"So, you have told Xavier that you don't lie?" Asked Isaiah.
"Technically he is not lying about it" said Bruce and continued "he doesn't lie. He manipulates his lie" and laughed.
Elisio gave Bruce a death stare and Bruce said "I think my wife who is a trained marine is calling me" and stood up and left to stand beside Alena.
Rose saw Bruce and smiled at him and went close to him and said "your lock on the bas.e.m.e.nt door broke. I got a new one. Here is the key" and gave him a key.
"How did it break?" Asked Bruce.
"I broke it with a little help" said Rose and came close to him and whispered "FYI. I loved the whole setup of all torture devices and all. It is a complete badass super torture for days bas.e.m.e.nt with hundreds of knives and all . It was so beautiful. I almost cried. Can I use it?"
"First, what's wrong with you? Second, it's Elisio's collection" said Bruce.
"First, I am fine now. Second, oh damn it. He will never let me play with it" said Rose.
"First thing tomorrow I am cleaning that place up" said Bruce.
"You don't have to. I promise to not open it. I mean I can't risk the kids going in there" said Rose.
"And I can't risk you being there with that many knives with children. What's Ermanno got himself into?" asked Bruce.
Rose with a serious expression and a little tilted head said "he is in love with me. And I love him. And I have a certificate saying I am fine."
"I have a fake certificate saying I am a magician. I don't go around whooshing people away" said Bruce.
"Fake certificate? That's so cool. Can I get one for surgeon? Make it heart surgeon. I always wanted to open up alive people and see their heat beating." Said Rose.
Bruce was freaked out and said "girl if you are trying to scare me. It's working".
"Good. That's exactly what I was going for. I love when people think I am a phycho" said Rose.
"So you are not?" Asked Bruce.
Rose smirked and said "you never know" and walked away.
Bruce knew Elisio all his life and thought he was used to psychos. But Rose seemed a level above Elisio.
"F.u.c.k" said Bruce and Alena, Bruce's wife and Elisio's ex-undercover bodyguard knew Rose needed to be kept an eye on. No matter if Rose was joking or not. There were other lives involved especially the children's life and she knew exactly what to do.
Alena and Joshua joined Elisio when Elisio started hiring security by himself for himself.
He chose Joshua and Alena to head his personal security. later they were even hired as Sabrina's security. Alena also was Sabrina's assistant and in the span of time they became friends.
I mean who wasn't Sabrina friends with?
Anyone who knew Elisio knew he loved control. Duh...
He controlled everything including his security. And Joshua and Alena have been his eyes for security all his life.
The only person Elisio has struggled controlling is his own son, Ermanno.
Joshua was his security on the field and Alena behind the scene like interviewing security personnel and training them.
She trained boys and girls to be undercover and gave them jobs.
Katrina was trained by Alena too and now Alena had to assign someone else to keep an eye on Rose.
Ermanno with Rose, Emerald and Xavier reached their new home and Xavier was welcomed by skull jumping up and down.
"Skull" shouted Xavier and ran to him and hugged him.
"D.o.g.g.y" shouted Emerald and went close to Xavier.
Xavier looked at Emerald and said "he is my dog. He only listens to me"
"He is nice. Can I touch him?" Asked Emerald.
"No, he will bite your hand off," said Xavier.
Emerald gasped out loud and ran away to Ermanno.
"Xavi, be nice. Emerald come let's make you friends with him" said Ermanno and took her to the skull.
"It's Xavier's dog. He should be the one who allows who his dog is friends with or not " said Rose.
Xavier looked at Rose and Rose smiled at Xavier.
"Daddy, I want my hand to eat cake. I don't want to go close to the d.o.g.g.y" said, Emerald.
Ermanno nodded and said "fine. Now let's show you your rooms" and took them to their rooms.
Elisio had set a princess theme room for Emerald and supercar theme room for Xavier.
The kids were super excited and happy to see their rooms.
"It's just amazing how your father pulled of everything in one day," said Rose.
"Money makes things happen faster," said Ermanno and smiled at Rose. When she smiled back he suddenly stopped smiling and looked upfront at his children.
Rose went close to him and circled her hands around his torso and said "stop fighting yourself. Accept me. Accept us and leave your burden free without overthinking."
"Someone has to be the logical one with a high alert of the wellbeing of their loved ones," said Ermanno.
"Hmm.. then waste your time being boring. I'll have fun and be happy". Said Rose.
Ermanno caressed her cheek and said "that's all I want. I want us to be happy, together and you being sane"
"I am sane and I'll not let go of my children till I die. You bought me into your life and now you won't be able to get rid of me. You and my children are mine now." Said Rose.
