Chapter 108 - CHAPTER 107 (2/2)
Rose had tears in her eyes and said ”please don't hate her. Before she died she told me that she had aborted your child. And when the guy she was in love, which seems now like it was Harry came to know about it, he got her pregnant again. She felt stuck and wanted to come clean and start a life away from everyone including you, Harry and my parents.”
”All of this is such a mess. Oh god,” said Joseph holding his chest.
”Ermanno please let me see Xavier. Please.” Begged Rose.
”You will not see him anytime soon girl,” said Elisio and held Ermanno's shoulder and told him to back away and let him handle the rest.
”I am sorry Rose. But I want everything out and clear. No more secrets. No more lies. No schemes. No more nothing. I am done with everything. You all have played me enough. I am done” said Ermanno and moved away.
”Now, for the last event of the day. You see Rose you may have to be staying in jail for a long time. But I can help you get less time if you sign the divorce papers” said Elisio.
Rose looked at Ermanno and he looked away from Rose.
Rose looked back at Elisio and said ”okay. I will divorce Ermanno but I want custody of my baby”
”Ha. Dream on it. There is no way you will ever come close to my grandson.” Said Elisio.
”Please. Please. I beg of you. Don't take my child away from me” cried, Rose.
Elisio looked at Rose and said ”it's an easy win for us when it will come to fight over custody for Xavier and you know that too. But I will let you see him once if you sign the divorce papers”
Rose looked at Ermanno begging him with her eyes.
Ermanno had tears too in his eyes looking at Rose but didn't come forward to say anything.
Rose cried and looked around the room for someone to help her.
Thomas went close to Rose and said ”sign the papers and I promise I'll fight for you”
Rose looked at Thomas and nodded and agreed to divorce Ermanno.
An officer opened her handcuffs and the lawyer gave her papers to sign.
Rose was crying uncontrollably and looking at Ermanno.
”Ermanno” called Rose.
Ermanno couldn't look at Rose anymore and turned his back on her and hugged Enrique tight.
Rose begged Ermanno to look at her but he didn't turn.
Rose stopped calling him and looked at Elisio.
She then looked at the papers and then looked back at Elisio and said ”I'll sign off all the property I have of Ermanno back to him. I don't want anything just don't make me sign divorce papers.”
”When you sign this you will be returning everything to Ermanno and divorcing him and giving him full custody of Xavier. In exchange, Ermanno will give you 10 million dollars.” Said Elisio.
”I don't what the money. Keep everything. Just give shared custody at least. Please.. please don't let me be alone again” cried Rose and looked at Sabrina and said ”mummy I am sorry. Please tell Mr Devonte to give me my child. Please, mummy. He listens to you. Please”
Sabrina was crying uncontrollably already. Sabrina looked at Elisio with pleading eyes but Elisio was determined to have what he wanted.
Sabrina looked down and cried hugging Ambryl.
Rose saw that no one would help her.
She looked back at the papers and signed them and cried even harder.
