Chapter 39 - 38 (1/2)

Ermanno in the afternoon met Elisio and Arlo in the Devonte hotel for lunch.

Elisio smiled looking at his son approving at his look.

”A good girl straightens the crooked of man” said Elisio.

”So how crooked were you?” Asked Ermanno.

”Very” said Arlo and laughed out loud.

Ermanno laughed out loud too joining Arlo.

”Ha ha. Very funny. But on the serious note. Your mom is the best thing ever happened to me” smiled Elisio thinking of Sabrina.

Ermanno always noticed that everytime Elisio mentioned Sabrina he smiled a genuine smile which was only reserved for Sabrina.

Elisio saw Ermanno looking at him intensely and asked ”why are you looking at me like that?”

”You have this smile on your face which you smile when you talk about mom” said Ermanno.

”What can I say. She is the reason for my smile.” Smiled Elisio.

Ermanno looked at Arlo and Arlo smiled and said ”she makes me smile too”

Elisio banged the table and said ”she is my fiore”

”Ya ya. We all know that” laughed Arlo.

”What is this fight about flower and fiore? Mind to explain. Is it the same old story of you both liked her and ofcourse dad being dad took her away from you?” Asked Ermanno.

Arlo and Elisio looked at Ermanno and then looked at eachother and Arlo said ”I can't believe he thinks Sabrina would have chosen me over you and you are the one who took her away from me.”

Elisio looked at Ermanno and said ”she has always been mine. And will always be mine.”

Arlo looked at Ermanno and said ”we both saw her together but she was his from the start. Your mother is wonderful and has the heart of gold. And her innocence attracts everyone towards her. Thought she would have been good with anyone she chose to stay with your father making him the luckiest man on earth.” He paused and continued ”Ermanno, everyone has a past and have done something that we regret but have to live with it cause we can't change the past. All we can do is look past it and learn from our mistakes and move on.”

”Sometimes it's difficult to let go of the past” said Ermanno.

”If you can't let go of your past that means you need closure. Find closure before the past starts affecting your present” said Arlo.

”God you sound like dad” said Elisio.

”I am more of dad's son and you are more of mom's.” said Arlo.

Elisio smiled and said ”yes. My mummy is perfect.”

Arlo shook his head and looked at Ermanno who was deep in thought.

After Sofia's death Enrique brought Ermanno to Arlo to make him forget Rose and move on from Sofia's death. Arlo had supervised Ermanno's training. He taught him about bondage, rules and discipline in BDSM. A Dominatrix showed  Ermanno pain and again Arlo taught him how to be a good dom.

Arlo had seen Ermanno fight himself at times. There was something inside Ermanno which Ermanno was not ready to bring out and Arlo didn't push him to confess.
