Chapter 176 - CHAPTER 173

"Don't you want you mother alive?" Asked Elisio.

"I want my mother to live forever. But I can't see her in pain" said Ermanno.

"What about my pain? You can see me suffer?" Asked Elisio.

"You are not the one who was stabbed. You are not the one who is having difficulty breathing. You are not the one who is barely alive." Said Ermanno.

"She is alive. My fiore alive. She needs a little help. And if the machines can help her breath then no one is taking her off of those machines" said Elisio.

"Dad, mom always said death is the truth of nature. If it's time then it's time. I can't see her in so much pain" said Ermanno.

"It's not your decision to take. She is mine, only mine. Only I get to decide for her" said Elisio challenging Ermanno.

"She is my mother. I will not let her suffer" challenged Ermanno back at Elisio.

"It's too early to take her off the machines? How about we give her some time. She did wake up for few seconds. That was unexpected. Why give up on the hope of her not waking up at all?" Said Arlo.

"There are patients who wake up from deep coma after years in coma. Some have even woken up after 10 years" said Mia coming in and joining the conversation.

"If you are ready to wait for so long?" Asked Dr Schmidt.

"Yes, I'll wait. As long as she is alive and breathing even 1%. I'll wait. But I don't want to give up on the hope of her waking up." Said Elisio.

"Mr Devonte, we have done everything. There isn't anything more we can do. She is hardly breathing and may stop breathing any minute. But if you insist we will put her on the machine. But I suggest you wait for only a short time say 3 or 4 months more. And then take her off the machines. It's only going to delay her time" said Dr Schmidt.

"I think in those 3 or 4 months we will monitor her breathing and keep in check for her recovery. And only then decide" said Mia.

"Okay" said Elisio and continued "when can she come home?" 

"You can take her home after a week" said Dr Schmidt and gave Elisio and Ermanno a apologizing look and left.

"She will get better bro." Said Arlo and Elisio nodded.

Elisio looked around and saw Rose in tears.

He looked straight at her and she looked at him.

"Are you ready?" Asked Elisio.

Rose looked at him with creased eyebrows and then realised what he meant. She wiped her tears and nodded and said "I am ready"

Arlo and Enrique looked at eachother and were confused to what Elisio meant but Ermanno exactly knew what he meant.

Elisio started to walk away and Rose followed him when Ermanno stopped him by placing his hand on Elisio's shoulder and called him "dad"

Elisio stoped walking and turned to look at Ermanno and before Ermanno could say anything Elisio fisted his hand and punched him hard on his face.

"Ermanno" shouted Rose and ran to Ermanno who fell on the floor.

"Bro, what's wrong with you?" Shouted Arlo and helped Ermanno stand up.

"There is a reason I didn't want children. But my fiore f.u.c.k.i.n.g wanted you. she loves you. She loves you more than me. And you didn't even hesitate to say she should die? F.u.c.k you Ermanno. Don't show me your face. If you are okay to let my fiore die. I don't mind considering you dead." Said Elisio and started walking away.

Rose looked at Ermanno and said "I have to go with him. I'll be back"

Rose started to walk away when Ermanno held her hand and said "you cannot be the same after what you want to do"

"I am not the same. Atleast I'll be sane" said Rose and ran away behind Elisio.

"What are they up too?" Asked Enrique.

"They are going to do something sadist" said Ermanno.

"Stop them" said Enrique.

"No. It's not the time to stop. It's time to end this" said Ermanno and looked at Arlo.

Arlo nodded and said "don't worry about flower. I am here. I won't leave her sight for a second"

Ermanno nodded and left wiping the blood from his nose with his handkerchief.

Elisio may have broken his nose. But he can fix it later.

After Ermanno left Enrique left saying he has to go to the office.

It was only Arlo standing in the corridor looking inside the ICU at Sabrina when Taha, Arzoo, Eezha and Vincenzo walk in.

"We are leaving to India today. Will you keep us updated?" Asked Taha holding Arlo's hand and shedding tears.

"I will. And don't worry. She will get better" said Arlo.

"Eezha insists on staying. Hope it's no trouble?" Asks Arzoo.

"Don't worry. She is our responsibility. There is Aria who can give her company" said Arlo and Taha and Arzoo thanked Arlo and hugged Eezha one last time and left with tears in their eyes after knowing what the doctor said for Sabrina.

"Dad, why don't you go home too. I am here. You can come back later" said Vincenzo.

"I can stay too" said Eezha.

Arlo was actually exhausted from what had happened and didn't mind a little rest and agreed and left.

Vincenzo looked at Arlo's retrieving back and after Arlo left he looked upfront and saw Eezha smiling at him.

Vincenzo raised his eyebrows and she says "hi"

Vincenzo smirks and looks at Eezha up and down.

Elisio and Rose reached Elisio's bas.e.m.e.nt and told the guard to place Harry on the table.

Harry was so weak that he didn't even have the strength to resist the guard.

Elisio stood at Harry's right and Rose at his left.

Harry looked at Rose and shed tears and said "I am sorry. Please free me"

"We are here to free you. You will be free forever Harry. With you I will free myself too. I will free my insane mind. I'll free the anger in me. You ruined a lot of lives. You freed Sofia's and Lola's souls from their bodies and god knows how many other souls from their bodies. It's only fair we free your soul from your body" said Rose.

Harry cried and begged her to not kill him and let him go.

Harry looked at Elisio and he said "my fiore is in so much pain that she may not even get up. You shouldn't have done that to my innocent fiore."

Elisio walked away to one of the walls and looked back at the doctor and "your services are not required anymore. You can leave" 

The doctor nodded and left.

Elisio looked at the guard and said "stay out" and the guard left too.

Elisio was looking at the knives when Rose picked a whip standing beside Elisio.

Elisio looked at her and she said "I want to hear his screams first"

Elisio nodded and picked one knife for himself and both turned to look at Harry.

They approached him and Elisio started running the tip of the knife on his right hand.

Harry screamed in pain.

"This is the hand which stabbed my fiore." Said Elisio.

He only made a little cut. Just enough for him to bleed and feel pain.

Elisio looked at Rose and said "do what you want to do. But don't kill him yet."

Rose looked at Harry and started whipping him screaming at him and crying. She was hitting him hard. Harry turned to his side and she hit him at his back and hit him till he stopped moving. 

Rose saw Harry and screamed the loudest scream.

She fell on her knees and cried more.

Elisio looked at Harry and pushed him to sleep on his back.

He held Harry's hand and with one swing cut his hand off.

Harry screamed and Rose looked up and screamed too.

Elisio dropped the knife and Harry's hand and went close to Rose and held her in his arms.

Rose hid her face in Elisio's chest and cried.

"Dad, I can't kill him" cried Rose.

"I know. I'll do it" said Elisio.

"No. I want to finish him" said Ermanno standing at the head of the table looking down at almost dead Harry.

Elisio and Rose stood up and looked at Ermanno.

Ermanno looked around and picked Elisio's dropped knife from the floor.

He stood near Harry and said "good bye old friend. You should have chosen a normal family to mess with. You don't mess with the Devonte's and get away with it"

Ermanno placed the tip of the knife on Harry's throat and slowly started pushing the tip deep in his throat.

Harry started chocking and bleeding.

Ermanno didn't kill him yet. 

He looked at Rose and said "come here"

Rose moved from Elisio and stood at the other side of the table.

Harry was laid inbetween Ermanno and Rose.

"With his death. We free ourselves from our past. We don't look back. From now, we only look forward. We forget everything that has happened to us. Understand?" Asked Ermanno and Rose nodded with tears in her eyes.

Ermanno gave her his hand to take over Harry.

Rose placed her hand on Ermanno's hand and he took the knife in both their hands and stabbed Harry deep in his heart.

Rose screamed and left Ermanno's hand and ran to Elisio and hugged him.

"It's over. It's all over" said Elisio and held Rose to cry out her hearts content.

Elisio looked at Ermanno and both father and son stared at eachother.

They both had one more thing to settle on. 

Sabrina.
