Chapter 168 - CHAPTER 165

Rose opened her eyes and saw Ermanno seated next to her on a chair. 

Rose smiled wide but soon stopped smiling instantly and sat up in a hurry and asked "Ermanno, Xavi?" 

"Hey hey. Don't worry. He is fine" said Ermanno and held her arms.

Rose looked at Ermanno and looked down and then away.

Ermanno held her face and turned her to look at him and asked: "Are you not happy to see me?"

"Ermanno, he.. He.." Cried, Rose.

"We will fight this out together," said Ermanno and hugged Rose.

"Aren't you disgusted by me?" Asked Rose.

"He forced himself on you. It is only fair he is punished. You were forced on. Don't feel less of yourself because of his sins" said Ermanno.

"He had Xavi," said Rose.

"No he didn't," said Ermanno.

"What do you mean?" Asked Rose.

"After he took you, he was going for Xavi, but mummy didn't let him get Xavi. During the fight with Harry to stop him from taking Xavi, Harry stabled mummy and now she is struggling to stay alive. She is in the coma right here in this hospital" said Ermanno.

Rose cried out loud and said "I am so stupid. God why was I even born?"

Ermanno hugged her and said "you were born for me. I love my Rose"

"How can you love me?" Cried Rose.

"Because that what I know. I know to love you. You my love. You are my wife. You are my life Mio Rosa" said Ermanno and hugged her.

Rose cried her heart out then suddenly paused and asked "where is mummy? I want to see her."

Ermanno took Rose to Sabrina's ward and both saw Elisio seated beside Sabrina and talking to her.

"Rose is okay. Xavier is okay. Little Emerald is okay and your dumb son is okay too. See, everyone is okay. Don't you want to see them happy? That's what you always wanted right? Your son to be happy. He has his family now. He will be happy but what about me? My happiness is only with you mio fiore. Please get up my love." said Elisio.

"Dad" called Ermanno.

Elisio didn't look at Ermanno as he had tears in his eyes.

Rose moved forward and stood at the other side of Sabrina and called her "mummy" and cried.

"Mummy please get up. If you don't get up, dad will kill me" said Rose.

Rose looked at Elisio and said "I am sorry"

Elisio looked at Rose and said "for the first time it was not your fault"

Rose was looking at Sabrina and shedding tears when Arlo and Sabina walk in the room.

Sabina hugs Rose and consoles her.

"She will get better. Don't worry. How are you?" Asked Sabina.

"I want to die" cried Rose.

"Don't say things like that. Think of your children before even considering doing something stupid." Said Sabina. 

"My children. Oh my god, I want to see them." Said Rose.

"You will soon. Your children need you. Especially Xavi. He is shook by the incident and needs his mother" said Sabina. 

"I feel so broken" said Rose.

"A mother is all about strength. You have to find that strength for your children" said Sabina and Rose hugged her and cried more.

Arlo signals Ermanno to come out and Ermanno nods.

"What's wrong?" Asks Ermanno.

"I talked to the doctor and he says there is no improvement in flower's condition. At this rate there is no telling when she will stop breathing" said Arlo.

Ermanno bit his fist and Arlo held his shoulder. 

"What do we say dad?" Asked Ermanno.

"I'll talk to him" said Arlo.

Ermanno took a deep breath to stop himself from crying and nodded.

They both turned to walk back into the room and saw Elisio standing and staring at them.

"Bro" said Arlo and was about say something more but Elisio stopped him and said "I want my fiore to be shifted to her home" and walked back to the room.

"He heard us" said Ermanno and Arlo just looked at where Elisio walked off.

Rose was discharged after two days and when she returned she hugged her children and cried.

"Mummy I tried saving you but I could not" said Xavier.

"You are so brave. I know you tried" said Rose and hugged Xavier and cried.

"Mummy don't cry." Said Emerald and wiped her tears.

Ermanno came close to Rose and tried to hold her close but Rose moved away.

Ermanno knew she was traumatized and needed time.

After Rose returned to the mansion, two cops came in to take Rose's statement.

Rose sat close to Martina holding her hands tight.

"Can't we not do this" said Martina.

"We need a statement" said the cop.

"Just get it over with fast" said Martina to Rose and Rose cried and said what had happened to her.

The cops took the statement and said "We can't find Harry anywhere.

But we are trying our best"

"You couldn't find him in the first place." Said Ermanno.

" If you had found him then he wouldn't have done what he did. Even now after all this. You still can't find him. Whom should we go for help. Tell us. " said Enrique with anger.

"I am sorry but we are trying" said a cop. 

"Well we appreciate what ever you are doing or not doing" said EJ.

The cops looked at eachother and left the mansion.

"They are useless" said EJ.

"They do their work at their pase" said Enrique and looked at Ermanno and said "you need more security" 

Ermanno nodded and looked at Joshua.

Only Joshua, Ermanno, Elisio, Bruce, Lucifer and his men knew about Harry being captive in Elisio's bas.e.m.e.nt.

Lucifer left with his men after they caught Harry and chained him in the bas.e.m.e.nt.

Lucifer promised to come back after Sabrina wakes up and wanted Ermanno's computer.

Ermanno had a condition that Lucifer uses his computer only for his legal businesses. 

Lucifer was not that happy listening to Ermanno demand that but agreed and said "it's your work and I respect your decision to give it to me or not and tell me where I should use it. And you have my word. I'll use it responsibly." 

"Thank you for understanding. This computer has my mother's voice" said Ermanno.

"And its a very soothing voice" said Lucifer and shook Ermanno's hand and said his good byes.

Sabrina was shifted to the mansion and Emerald and Xavier were crying and begging her get up.

"Mama. Please get up" cried Xavier.

"Mama" cried Emerald and shook Sabrina with her little hands.

The whole family was in tears seeing the kids beg Sabrina to wake up. 

Ermanno wanted to stay with Elisio but Elisio didn't want anyone in the mansion. 

"But dad.." said Ermanno.

"No. I want to be alone with my fiore" said Elisio.

Elisio never liked anyone in his side of the mansion and it was always Sabrina who wanted people around her and welcomed them. And right now, Elisio really just wanted to spend time with Sabrina. How much ever time is left.

Rose was struggling and fighting herself.

She felt disgusted of herself and didn't want to be close to anyone.

Ethan and Kyle had shifted to New York and after Ethan came out to his family. They were soon getting married.

Ethan started giving Rose therapy but Rose was not herself and didn't want to listen to what Ethan said.

Rose started avoiding Ermanno and told him to not touch her.

"Rose you are my wife. Lets get through this together" begged Ermanno.

"I need time. Please" said Rose and shifted to a guest room in their villa.

Rose spent time with the kids and would do all her chores like a zombie.

Ermanno could see the pain and humiliation she would feel. She didn't meet any of the family members or went out.

She would go to Sabrina and cry uncontrollably and call her and beg her to wake up.

"Please mummy I need you. Please" cried Rose.

Elisio saw Rose cry and went close to her and said "you are annoying me and my fiore"

Rose looked at Elisio and said "I am sorry. I just want her to hold me and say I'll be okay"

"Well, if you haven't noticed she is not in a state to b.r.e.a.s.tfeed you or make your bobo go away" said Elisio.

Rose didn't say anything back and Elisio said "you are boring now. I liked when you talked back"

Rose stood up and hugged Elisio and cried.

"Great, now you are spoiling my shirt with your waterworks." said Elisio.

"Dad, please make everything better. Please make this pain go away. I want my life back. I was finally happy. Please help me. You sent away Sofia. You sent me to rehab and made me better. Now please make me forget that asshole. Please dad please" cried Rose and hugged Elisio hard.

Elisio hugged her back and asked "what would you do if you found Harry?"

Rose broke the hug and looked at Elisio and said "I would torture him to his death"

Elisio smirked and said "then do it"
