Chapter 12 - 11 (2/2)

Isaiah hit Ivanov's head from back and said ”pull your head out of the gutters. We are not setting you for getting laid. We want you boys to stop partying and get serious with life”

”Shouldn't we marry for love?” Asked Remy.

”A lot of people find love after marriage” said Alena.

”It's called compromising with what you have got” said Julia.

”Actually it's not only the boys. It's time you get married too young lady” said Nevio to Julia.

Julia looked at Thomas and he looked at her.

Lily saw their look and looked back at Nevio who was already looking at them.

EJ looked at Ermanno who had a smirk on his face.

Ermanno looked at EJ and winked at him.

EJ knew he was thinking of something evil.

”Mom do you think the same? Do you think I should marry?” Asked Ermanno.

”Ofcourse Ermanno. I would be very happy if you found a girl, settled down and made me grandkids. Nothing else will make me more happy” said Sabrina.

”Do you have a girl in your mind for me?” Asked Ermanno.

Sabrina looked at Elisio and then looked around the table and stopped at Arlo.

Arlo shook his head no.

Sabrina looked at Ermanno and said  no.

”If I suggest a girl will you get us married?” Asked Ermanno.

”Ofcourse” said Sabrina.

”I want to marry Rose Brown” said Ermanno.

”WHAT?” Screamed EJ.

Thomas was shocked that Ermanno would even suggest to marry his sister.

”Are you serious?” Asked Thomas.

”Serious as a heartattack” said Ermanno.

”Didn't you blame her for Sofia's death? Because of you my parents sent her away after believing you. She was away from home for 5 years. My parents were so angry at her that they didn't invite her for Christmas or Thanksgiving. She was alone, all by herself. And now what? You suddenly have an urge to make it all right and marry her?” Asked Thomas.

”I have moved on. I need to make amendments.” Said Ermanno.

”Write her a sorry letter. But remember this, you will not marry her. I will see to it you don't. I lost my one sister because of you. I am not going to lose one more to you” said Thomas.

”I loved Sofia” said Ermanno.

”No you didn't. I have seen you drunk and high. All you resent is loosing your unborn child and talk about Rose, and how she should have minded her own business. Never once have you mentioned loosing Sofia. You wanted to claim her, possess her. You can't love shit Ermanno.” Said Thomas.

”If you can't see me marry your sister, do you think my sister will marry you?” Asked Ermanno.

Thomas looked at Julia and said ”I respect her. I treat her like a princess she is. I love her from the bottom of my heart. I have never forced her or pushed her far away for her to be scared of me.” And then he looked at Ermanno and said ”you treated Sofia like a thing. You both were broken up when you found out about her pregnancy and had broken up and got together multiple times before that. That's not love. When you love someone you hold on to them in thick and thin. And then before even asking her about it or talking about what she wants or what to do next. You forced her to say yes to marriage and not because you loved her. You asked her to marry you because of the child. You only scared and abused her. And now if you think I will allow you to ruin my other sister's life then I am sorry to say Mr Ermanno Devonte. I will not let that happen”

Ermanno looked at Thomas with anger but Smirked at him and said ”we will see”

Elisio saw a challenge in his son's eyes and knew Ermanno like he knew himself. He knew he will get what he wants.
