Chapter 74 - 73 (1/2)

”Bringing Sofia here is super easy. Just go dig up her grave and pull out whatever is left of her. And I don't think anything is left of her anyways. Cause it's been more than 5 years now that she been dead.” Said Rose.

”But I see she still controls you,” said the doctor.

”What do you mean?” Asked Rose.

”You see. You believed everything your sister said and I don't blame you cause you were young and the only person you trusted at that age was your sister. I see she brainwashed you completely to believe no... Obey to everything she said. Now that she is no more near you, she still rules your mind. It's very common that we believe everything that is told to us when we are young. We trust our parents when we are young and we continue to trust them for the rest of our lives. That's why a child mind is not to be disturbed when they are young. It leaves an impact which cannot be erased easily.” He looked at Ermanno and said ”Mr Devonte, what you did was unacceptable. And even now Mrs Devonte can put you in prison for molesting her. But as there was no s.e.x.u.a.l exploitation you can get out of it. But you did trouble a child's mind. But the main culprit here is Sofia. If she were to be alive she would be facing jail time to tell a minor about s.e.x and showing her p.o.r.n. So do you both see what is happening in between you?” He paused for a few seconds and said ”miscommunication. You both need to communicate more maturely if you don't want your past to control your present and your future.”

Ermanno and Rose were seated stunned at the revelation the doctor pointed out.

They both left the doctors clinic and didn't speak anything to eachother.

Rose went with Katrina to the mansion and Ermanno went back to the office.

Rose reached the mansion and went up the stairs to her room. She went into the closet and removed a suitcase. In that suitcase was a photo album.

Rose sat down on the floor and opened the album. She looked at a few pictures she had of her family. They were not that many but enough to relive the past.

She looked at Sofia's picture and moved her fingers on her picture. She had tears in her eyes and pain in her heart for her sister who didn't get to live her life fully. All because of Ermanno Devonte.

Flashback.

”He hit you again,” said 15 years old Rose applying numbing cream on Sofia's butt cheeks and back.

”He said he is still not done punishing me. God, I hate him. He doesn't leave me alone.” Said Sofia.

”I wish he never came into our lives,” said Rose.

”Yes. Everything would be so simple” said Sofia.

”When did you start liking simple?” Asked Rose.

”Ya. You are right. I would be bored with simple. Guess that's why I chose him. But I wish he was not obsessed with you” said Sofia.

”You really think he would have done all that you told me he would do?” Asked Rose.

”Of course. He has done that to many girls. He would have done that to you too. It's a good thing I don't let him come close to you. Rose, always remember what he is doing to me and how inappropriately he touched you. He is not a good guy. He is one of those men who hurt girls and dump them after getting them pregnant. If he would not have been in our lives we would be so happy and free.” Said Sofia.

”You are right. You are always right. Thank you for being good to me and not hitting me any more.” Said Rose.

”I hit you cause I was jealous of you. But after I knew you didn't want all that he was doing to you. I had to save you from him” said Sofia.

”Thank you, Sofia.” Said Rose.

”You are welcome. You know after being with Ermanno all I really want now is a simple life with a husband who would love me and not be a freak like Ermanno who would hit me but I want my husband to love me and I want two kids. A girl and a boy. That's what I want” smiled Sofia.
