Chapter 124 - CHAPTER 121 (2/2)

”You have moved on” said Rose.

”I don't want to hold on to grudges ,pain, my past and..” repeated Ermanno Rose's word.

”I am looking forward for my future” said Rose.

”Good luck with it. I hope your life is filled with happiness. I just wish I could give you that happiness” said Ermanno.

”When I said I love you everytime. I meant it” said Rose.

”Me too. But I guess love was not enough” said Ermanno.

Sabrina stood at the doorway of the room and heard their conversation and only thought one thing.

'you both are wrong and hope you both realise it someday that love is more than enough' After Xavi slept Ermanno and Rose took him to his room and placed him in his crib.

Rose looked around and found few pictures. She smiled and looked at them.

”Your father is in basically all of them” laughed Rose.

”He loves Xavi,” said Ermanno.

”Hmm... Will you ever tell him about me? Or you will just replace me with your girlfriend and tell him that she is his mother?” Asked Rose.

Ermanno looked at Rose and went close to her and held her by her waist and leaned down to kiss her but she stopped him and said: ”I am not yours.”

”You will always be Mio Rosa. But I will let you go to live your life” said Ermanno.

”I want you to be happy,” said Rose.

He caressed her cheek and said, ”I'll be happy when you will be happy.”

”Ermanno, I love you. You love me. Why isn't that enough?” Asked Rose.

”You don't love me, Rose. Not least the way I love you. Though I missed you terribly this past year. Somewhere I was actually relieved that I don't have to worry about my family or my son's safety. You crossed too many lines for me to trust you again. Let's move on Rose. Let's be happy without eachother.” Said Ermanno.

Rose smiled and said ”you have changed. You have finally taken control of your life. I like that. Guess you learnt from your mistakes to not let someone else control your life, huh?”

”Life taught me a lot. I want to be the best for Xavier.” Said Ermanno.

”You are the best. I am happy for you” said Rose and leaned in and kissed his cheek.

Ermanno smiled and said, ”be happy Rose.”

”You too,” said Rose. The birthday celebration was fun and everyone enjoyed the get-together.

Rose's parents were present too and so was the whole family.

Rose saw Rosalyn and said to Ermanno ”she is ugly”

”She is beautiful,” said Ermanno.

”Get your eyes checked. You had me as your wife and now having her beside you. What will people say? They will say you have lowered your standards” said Rose.

Jealousy was completely visible on her face.

”She is smart, beautiful has not been to a mental asylum” said Ermanno.

”And don't forget to add boring. You will get bored soon. She is not fit for you” said Rose.

”Then who fits me?” Asks Ermanno and Rose blushes and smiles and walks away.

Ermanno smiled too and no matter what happens, Rose always looked adorable in Ermanno's eyes. Soon Rose left the mansion crying uncontrollably hugging Sabrina and Xavier.

”Forgive me, Xavier,” said Rose and kissed him and then looked at Sabrina and said ”I am sorry. I love you mummy and I am sorry I am not good enough for him. If you can find it in your heart. Please forgive me”

”Be happy Rose. Be in peace and don't worry. Till I am alive he will be taken cared of. And never forget him. Please. He is your son. Nothing can change that fact”.

Rose nodded and looked at Ermanno one last time and held Ethan's hand and left the mansion.

Rosalyn held Ermanno's hand to comfort him.

Sabrina hugged Elisio as she couldn't stop crying.

Xavi started crying seeing Sabrina cry so Sabrina wiped her eyes and sadly smiled at Xavi and said ”I will be my best for you. I will be your mama”

”Mama,” said Xavi and Sabrina hugged Xavi.

Ermanno was feeling a strange squeeze in his heart and f.u.c.k it hurt more than any physical pain he had ever felt.

'you are a coward to not fight for your love. You deserve every pain you can get' said Ermanno's subconscious.
