Chapter 150 - CHAPTER 147

Ermanno reached New York and after leaving the kids and Rose home he wanted to meet Elisio but once the kids came to know he was going to the mansion they insisted to come with him. 

Rose didn't want to be left behind so she came with him too.

Ermanno looked at Strawberry and said "let's take the nannies too".

It was almost dinner time when they all went to meet Elisio.

They reached the mansion and saw Sabrina seated in the living room reading a book.

Ermanno was fuming with anger but as soon as he saw Sabrina's smiling face his anger came down.

The kids ran to Sabrina and hugged her.

"What a pleasant surprise. When did you come back?" Asked Sabrina.

"Just a while back. We just got freshened up and came here" said Rose.

"That's wonderful. Elisio will be so happy to see you all" said Sabrina.

"Where is dad?" Asked Ermanno.

"He is at dad's place discussing business," said Sabrina.

"Good. I'll meet him there" said Ermanno and left.

Rose looked at Ermanno leaving and turned to see Sabrina puzzled. 

"Is everything okay?" Asked Sabrina.

"I don't know what's wrong. But I assure you it's not cause of me" said Rose and Sabrina smiled and looked at Emerald yawning and leaning in Sabrina's shoulders. Seeing Emerald yawn Xavier yawned too and so did Rose.

Sabrina laughed and said "how about you three eat something and get some rest" 

All three nodded.

Sabrina saw Lola and Strawberry and said "you too join us too. Get rest after dinner" and they both nodded.

"We will sit in the kitchen mam" said Strawberry.

"Why?" Asked Sabrina.

"Ahh.." started Strawberry but a senior maid laughed and said "when it's only Sabrina we all sit together and eat in one place. It's only when Elisio sir is hear we have to be all formal" 

Strawberry and Lola smiled at eachother and sat to eat. 

Sabrina was the perfect host and smiled and laughed with the kids and asked everyone their experience in England.

"It's nice. It was the first time I went to London." Said Strawberry and continued "I don't know what this is. But it is delicious" 

"It's an indian dessert. It's Elisio's favourite. It's carrot sweet" said Sabrina.

"Cool. Maybe I can make him carrot cake. I know to make that" said Strawberry.

Sabrina looked at Strawberry and said "he would love that." 

"Really?" Asked Strawberry excited.

"Ofcourse. You are like his daughter. He would love to eat what a girl of the age of his daughter would make." said Sabrina.

Rose and Lola busted out laughing and Rose said "mummy got her good" 

Strawberry pouted and ate in silence after that.

After dinner Sabrina picked Emerald in her arms and held Xavier's hand in another and took them to their room.

"Mummy, why do we have to share a room?" Asked Xavier.

"Do you want to have separate rooms?" Asked Sabrina tucking Xavier in his bed.

"Yes" said Xavier.

"How about you Emerald?" Asked Sabrina but she had already fell asleep.

Sabrina smiled and tucked her in.

She looked back at Xavier and said "we will make new rooms for you two, okay?" And kissed his forehead.

Xavier smiled and closed his eyes.

Sabrina walked out of the room and saw Rose talking to Lola.

"Mummy, I am sleepy" said Rose and hugged Sabrina.

Sabrina hugged her back and looked at Lola and pointed at a guest room in the end of the corridor and said "there are extra towels and few nightwear to use. They are new" 

Lola smiled and thanked her and went to the room Sabrina showed her.

Rose said goodnight to Sabrina and went to Ermanno's room to sleep.

Strawberry was texting someone and walked into Sabrina and said "sorry"

"It's okay. There is your room" said Sabrina and pointed to a room.

Strawberry looked around and asked "so, which is Mr Elisio Devonte's room?"

Sabrina creased her eyebrows and said "OUR room is not here. And FYI, I don't like this kind of behaviour" 

"I didn't mean to be.. you know" said strawberry and continued "I am sorry"

Sabrina smiled and said "it's okay but don't forget. He is a married man. Please I request you to behave"

Strawberry smiled and said "everything I heard about you was true. You are actually requesting me to behave. No one does that you know?"

Sabrina smiled and said "I don't know what anyone does. But I love him and though I trust him. I don't like anyone looking at him" 

"He is yours. So where can I find one for me?" Asked Strawberry.

"You will find your true one. But there is only one Elisio Devonte and he is mine till death do us apart" said Sabrina.

Ermanno entered Zeke's side of the mansion and saw Zeke talking to Elisio, Isaiah, Nevio, Arlo and EJ.

All five had five different responsibility in different fields of business. Though they all had different responsibility, they still had to answer Elisio as he was the chairman of all the Devonte group of companies.

EJ took over Zeke's work of taking care of the different institutions of educations around the world.

Elisio saw Ermanno enter and knew why he was here.

Obviously Strawberry informed Elisio that Ermanno found out about her.

Ermanno looked around and smiled at Zeke and hugged him.

"How are you boy? I thought you were in London" said Zeke.

"I just came back," said Ermanno and looked at Elisio.

"Hmm. I know that look. Who did you, wrong dude?" Asked EJ.

"My own father." Said Ermanno.

"What's going on?" Asked Nevio.

"You want to tell them or I should?" Asked Ermanno.

Elisio leans back on his chair and said "go ahead. You tell. Everyone will see I am not at fault"

Ermanno shook his head and looked at Zeke and said "dad has appointed a secret spy in the form of a nanny who is assigned to keep an eye on Rose"

Everyone looked at Elisio and Isaiah said "why? You still don't trust her? Is she still danger to Ermanno?" 

Ermanno looked at Elisio waiting for an answer. Just then Enrique walked in with Julius. 

"Sorry, we are late," said Enrique and smiled wide looking at Ermanno and hugged him and said, "you are back bro". He stopped smiling and looked around and asked: "what's going on?"

"Big bro hired a spy as a nanny to keep an eye on Rose," said EJ.

"It's not only for Rose," said Enrique.

Everyone looked intensely at Enrique to know more about the matter.

Ermanno looked at Elisio and said "so he knows and I don't"

"He listens and I trust him," said Elisio.

"Wow," said Ermanno and looked away.

"Look, just listen what's happening okay," said Enrique and placed his hand on Ermanno shoulder but Ermanno shoved it off and said "I don't want to listen to anything

anymore. I think I have heard everything. My own father trusts you more than me" and started walking out but Julius stopped him and said "he always has a good reason for his actions"

"You are advocating him too? Did you know about this too? Am I the only one left out of this?" Asked Ermanno.

"No. I don't. But I trust him. As a son you should trust him to" said Julius.

Ermanno looked back at Elisio and said "see what you have done here? You have made everyone believe that you are always right. Are you happy being the dictator who everyone obeys"

Elisio was angry listening to these accusations and stood up and said "I am a dictator? If I had that kind of power I would f.u.c.k.i.n.g lock you up in a bas.e.m.e.nt and force you to obey me. Everyone listens to me and trusts me except my own son. How do you think I feel?" 

"No one sees what you are capable of except me. Why are you so angry with me dad? Why do you always have to find ways to control me?" Asked Ermanno.

"I want you to be part of the family like all the other kids. But you have always run away from your responsibilities and done everything against my will" said Elisio.

"Oh my god. Not this again. Dad, I have proved myself to you that I can build my own company and I am part of the family dad. Just cause I don't work under you doesn't mean I am not part of the family. You are the only one who thinks that. You think like that cause you can't control me and manipulate me to think you are always right. Like you have made everyone believe in this family" said Ermanno.

"He has not manipulated anyone of us. He has never interfered in any of our personal life. And if you haven't noticed we all have fathers who all have always been there for us just like your father is for you. He is our mentor and like a father figure. We respect him and it hurts us to see that you as his son can't see that he only thinks for your wellbeing. Would you have agreed for extra security if you have known the reason why he did that?" Asked Enrique and continued "Harry is out of prison. He escaped and all Elisio uncle has been doing is trying to protect each and every one of us. He has been busting his ass for us. The least we can do is be thankful for him rather than go accuse him. And if you haven't noticed, the direct threat of Harry's escape falls on you, Rose and your children. So you ungrateful child, he is protecting you. You asshole"
