Chapter 146 - CHAPTER 143

Ermanno was a tech genius and had a high IQ. He may have been used emotionally and financially. He may have been blinded by Rose's love and looked away from few things she did and lost his self respect by thinking of himself as a phedophil for a long time. But now that he knew he was drugged by Harry and Sofia, he knew better to not trust anyone blind folded.

After all that had happened to him in the past he was determined to be a focused, independent and strong minded person. Not a scattered man who was still trying to understand himself. 

He was not like his father and not like his mother either. He knew what he wanted to be. He wanted to be himself.

Ermanno had a photoghaphic memory and never skipped any detail.

His self improvement involved yoga. He practiced medication to keep his mind calm and more focused.

With his this focus mind and attention to detail because of his OCD made him see few unexpected things happening in his house like few camera being moved to a particular angel which didn't record some part of the room.

Few misplaced papers in his study.

Not stolen, only moved. 

The cleaners didn't need to touch files which are in the drawers so moved papers were easily noticed by Ermanno.

The biggest problem he saw was in Lola and strawberry's behaviour.

Lola always found a way to be close to Ermanno and flirted with him. He avoided her and once told her to focus on her work. 

And once he noticed she gave Rose milkshakes or smoothies she would personally make. It was not Lola's job to do so. When he talked to Rose, she said "she is only getting on my good side. You know sucking up to the boss" and laughed out.

But Ermanno didn't like it. After he had experienced being drugged by Sofia with ecstasy, he didn't accept drink from anyone.

And for strawberry, he found her very childish. But at times she said the smartest of things. And when it came to help or teach the children something. Ermanno would bet she was a the top student of her class.

I mean for a high-school drop out to recognise all the elements of a periodic table, by heart and to play one of Beethoven's famous work on the piano, Ermanno knew strawberry is more than she presents herself as.

In all the details he noticed he also noticed a very important detail. His Rose. He noticed how determined she was to keep her family together.

She was in constant contact with Sabrina on what to do and not to.

Ermanno saw how Rose would look at Sabrina as a little girl adoring her mother. And Sabrina loved Rose. 

Xavier and Emerald loved eachother and though Xavi played pranks and laughed at Emerald they started to live like siblings.

Ermanno and Rose were happy together to. Rose didn't use her room anymore to sleep. She only would be in Ermanno's room which soon became their room. 

Everything was going smooth. A little too smooth.

Ermanno, Rose, Emerald and Xavier spent weekends at the mansion with the whole family.

It was one such weekend and Elisio had taken a Saturday off to spent time with his grandkids. 

Rose was there with the nannies and Strawberry.

Strawberry was dreamily looking at Elisio with a huge smile.

She looked at the side and saw a very angry Sabrina looking at her.

Strawberry stoped smiling and Sabrina walked towards strawberry and stood in front of her.

Strawberry stood straight and Sabrina said "mine"

Strawberry nodded and ran away.

Elisio saw Sabrina and smiled.

Sabrina looked at Elisio and he said "jealousy suits you" 

"Can you not be cute for sometime" said Sabrina irritated.

"I can't. I have to be at my best for you" said Elisio and pulled her by her waist and Sabrina blushed.

"Papa, look I drew a car" said Xavier.

"Papa look I drew a flower" said Emerald.

"Your flower is ugly" said Xavier.

"Xavi, don't be mean" said Rose.

"Whatever. I am only telling the truth" said Xavier.

"Xavi, I am warning you. Behave yourself and apologize to Emerald" said Rose.

"Don't use that tone with him. He is Xavier Devonte. And no one talks to us Devonte's like that" said Elisio.

"I am his mother" said Rose.

"So?" Asked Elisio.

"Yeah, so?" Asked Xavier and laughed with Elisio.

Sabrina looked at Rose and then at Xavier and said "Xavi, I am sorry".

"Why are you sorry, mummy?" Asked Xavier.

"I am a horrible person. I am sorry I didn't teach you manners" said Sabrina.

"Mama, no. I know manners" said Xavi and walked to Sabrina but Sabrina put her hand up to stop him to come close to her and said "no, I didn't. If I did, you wouldn't talk to your mother like that. If you can't respect her then don't call me mama either. I can't love a mean boy who is disrespectful to his own mother" 

Xavier looked at Elisio who had anger on his face but ofcourse he knew in play and games he can't make him hate his own mother. So, Elisio kept silent and let Sabrina do the right thing.

Ofcourse he would never confess he was wrong.

Xavier looked back at Sabrina and then at Rose and went close to Rose and said "I am sorry mummy. I will be a good boy".

Rose smiled and said "you are a good boy. And I only correct you when you are wrong. Tell me, you drew your car so well. Would you like it if I said it was ugly?" 

Xavier shook his head no and looked at Emerald and apologized too. Emerald smiled and said "it's okay" 

Xavi looked back at Sabrina and asked "can I call you mama now?"

"Only if you love your mummy truly and respect her" said Sabrina and Xavier nodded and went back to colouring.

"I am sorry" said Sabrina to Rose and Rose said "your not the one responsible" and looked at a very angry Elisio.

Three months had past and today like every other day Ermanno woke up with Rose in his arms. 

He was smiling at Rose when she opened her eyes and said "morning hubby"

"Morning Mio Rosa" said Ermanno.

Rose kissed his neck and then slid down to his chest and kissed down and down.

"What are you doing?" Asked Ermanno laughing.

Rose was under the blanket and said "thanking you for last night" and held his d.i.c.k and started moving her hand up and down on his already hard d.i.c.k. 

Ermanno put his hands behind his head and closed his eyes.

Rose started sucking him and was doing such a good job that it made Ermanno m.o.a.n. 

Rose smiled and sucked him harder. 

"Rose I am close" m.o.a.ned Ermanno.

"Give it to me" said Rose from under the blanket. 

Ermanno held her head and came in her mouth.

Rose drank him and licked him clean.

She crawled from inside the blanket and slept on his chest.

"You have a great way of saying thank you" panted Ermanno.

Rose smiled and just then Ermanno's phone rang. He leaned to the side table and picked this phone and saw Thomas calling.

"Hello" said Ermanno.

"Ermanno, is Rose there?" Asked Thomas.

"Yes, she is here" said Ermanno and gave the phone to Rose.

As soon as Rose took the phone she started shedding tears and talked to Thomas and hung the phone.

"Ermanno my dad had a heart attack" said Rose and hugged him and cried.

Ermanno decided to leave to England with Rose and leave the kids with Elisio and Sabrina.

"It's okay. You don't have to come" said Rose.

Ermanno smiled and held her in his arms and said "they are my family too. And family sticks together" 

Rose smiled and said "I like us now" "me to. I finally have what I wanted. You, my kids and you"

"You said you twice" said Rose.

"Because I got you back the second time" said Ermanno.

"Always keep me with you" said Rose.

"I intend to" said Ermanno and kissed Rose.

They informed the kids of their plan over breakfast  and Xavier freaked out.

"You are leaving me again and this time taking dad with you?" Asked Xavier hugging Ermanno.

"No Xavi. I'll never leave you both" said Rose holding the crying Emerald.

"Don't leave me mummy" cried Emerald.

Rose and Ermanno looked at eachother and Ermanno said "let's take them with us" 

Listening to this Xavier nodded and looked at Rose and said "take me with you mummy. Don't leave me again"

Rose shed tears and said "I will never leave you again. I promise"

Ermanno informed Elisio and Sabrina.

Sabrina talked to Rose and said "don't worry and be strong. Joseph is a strong man"

Rose insisted to take the nannies and Ermanno said "we will be with our kids all the time. Why do we need nannies?"

"Please Ermanno. We are taking guards then why not nannies." Said Rose.

"Rose, why are you so dependent on them. Didn't you accuse your mom to have left you with nannies?" Said Ermanno.

Rose looked down and Ermanno held her face and asked the reason she always wants to have the nannies around her and the kids.

"I want them to keep an eye on me. I don't want hurt my children" said Rose.

"Mio Rosa, I trust you. Baby you have to have faith in yourself" said Ermanno.

"I am getting there. But till I am completely confident, I want them to be close to me when I am around my children" said Rose.

Ermanno nodded and kissed her forehead and said "fine. We'll take both their nannies"

Strawberry was standing at a distance from where Ermanno and Rose were talking and heard Ermanno say he was taking only the kids nannies which meant Tara and Lola. Strawberry smiled and knew what she had to do to go with them.
