Chapter 10 - 9 (2/2)

”What girl?” Asked Sabina.

Sabrina smiled and said ”Rose. She is back and looks even beautiful than before. I love how grounded she is. She is kind, sweet, soft-spoken and has a smile which makes me believe in her. I always wished Ermanno married a girl like her”

”Maybe a girl like her would be good but her? I don't think that's a good idea” said Arlo.

”Why not?” Asked Sabrina.

”Isn't it obvious. He blames her for Sofia's death. Do you think he is over that?” Asked Nevio.

”It took me forever to get him out of his depression. And he was obsessed on hurting her. Though he has not talked about it for a few years now. I guess he is over it” said Arlo.

”No one really gets over losing their unborn child. You just accept it and move on” said Elisio looking at Arlo.

Sabrina looked at Elisio and then at Arlo.

Arlo looked at Sabrina and looked down.

”On the lighter note. We need to start getting ready and hunt our children to get them ready for the wedding. We have to be in the church by 12noon.” Said Lily and continued ”Sabrina you need to go to my boutique. You are getting ready there. Julie is super excited for you to wear her dress. And she has set a photoshoot too. So you have to leave now”

”Lily I am scared. Julie's clothes are very tight and revealing. She hasn't let me eat anything from the last six weeks to just fit in the dress. I wanted to cry at one point to at least see bread” said Sabrina.

”You asked for it. You said she has your full support” said Lily.

Sabrina looked at Elisio.

”Guess I'll be punching some people, huh?” Said Elisio and everyone started laughing.

Sabrina was standing in front of a mirror in Lily's boutique and looking at herself.

She was wearing a Fabulous Tulle High Collar Floor-length Mermaid Evening Dresses With Beadings & Sequins.

”So what do you think?” Asked Julia.

”It's beautiful. And you made it all by yourself?” Asked Sabrina.

”I had my assistant helping me a little,” said Julia standing next to Lily.

Sabrina looked at Julia with tears in her eyes and said ”I am so proud of you. The fact that you tailored it by yourself is just.. oh god I don't have words to describe it. I am so proud of you.”

”Oh, mummy. It was my dream to dress you. I am so happy.” Said Julia and hugged Sabrina and went out of the dressing room to look into the photoshoot.

”Sometimes I have to remind myself she is my daughter and not yours. All the kids love you Sabrina” said Lily.

”I love them all. And look at this dress. This is so worth starving for weeks.” Said Sabrina.

It was rare that Sabrina ever did a photoshoot. Elisio didn't like when anyone even looked at Sabrina. And after an incident in one of Lily's fashion show where Elisio punched an interviewer for praising Sabrina for her beauty, Sabrina stopped being photographed. But she wore Lily's designer clothes to events.

Today she couldn't say no to Julia and agreed to her and Elisio also agreed as far as no men were looking at what was his.
