Chapter 132 - 129 (2/2)

”I came to know I have a daughter today and I don't want to stay away from her and definitely don't want her to call someone else daddy when I am very much capable and alive to take care of her” Said Ermanno.

”Ermanno please. I will die loosing another child. Please you don't know how hard I have tried to stay away form Xavier. But I promise I'll keep Emerald safe please don't take her away from me. I can't leave without her.” cried Rose.

Ermanno walked close to Rose and she stood right in front of him.

”Rose, I love you and that made me look away from a lot of your mistakes. I accepted every punishment you gave me. And now you gave me the ultimate punishment by keeping my child away from me. I kept you away from Xavi. And you kept me away from Emerald. I think it's time we both stop this game of revenge.” Said Ermanno.

”So we are even?” Asked Rose.

Ermanno smirked and said ”no Mio Rosa we are not close. Let's not forget the games you have played with me for so long and lied to me lie after lie. Now it's my time to punish you” said Ermanno.

Rose gulped down.

”Do you want to know your punishment?” Asked Ermanno and Rose didn't react so he held her face inbetween his hands and continued ”your punishment is to spend the rest of your life with me, raising my children”

Everyone were shocked to hear what Ermanno said and had wide eyes and open mouth except Sabrina who has the biggest smile on her face.

”Stop smiling so much flower. It's only angering Elisio more” whispered Arlo to Sabrina.

Sabrina looked at Elisio and yep.. he was angry.

”This can't happen. Are you crazy? You want to risk your life and your children's life in this girl's hands? I will not allow it” said Elisio.

”Dad I don't need your permission to make decisions for my family” said Ermanno.

”So you don't want me? Remember this boy. If she creates another mess I won't clean up behind you” said Elisio.

”No, dad. I don't want you to clean up my mess anymore. Let me take care of everything by myself” said Ermanno.

Elisio was angry. He looked at Sabrina and said ”is this okay with you?”

Sabrina stood up from her place and went close to Elisio and said ”let him be Elisio. Let him make his decisions. Though he is our baby. We cannot ignore the fact that he is a grown man with children. No one should make decisions for children except their parents. Let him do what's good for his children and to build a family for himself.”

”He is not that smart. I mean he likes this girl.” Said Elisio.

”You can't choose who you love. He loves her. Let them be a family” said Sabrina.

Elisio looked at Zeke and said ”dad say something”

”Elisio he has made a decision for himself and for the welbeing of his family. Those children need both their parents to build a stable home for them. Why are you so against it? He is a grown up man. Let him be Elisio.” Said Zeke and then looked at Ermanno and smiled and said ”I am proud of you Ermanno. You have finally understood that you are responsible for your family to be together.”

Elisio looked around and stopped at Ethan and said ”aren't you both married yet?”

Ethan and Rose looked at eachother and Thomas said ”you are engaged to be married, right? Why are you both not married yet? What have you been waiting for?”

”Because Ethan loves someone else” said Ermanno.

Ethan looked at Kyle and Ermanno smirked and said ”your sister is a mastermind to create web of lies. She included these two in her lies. I am just shocked that you don't know her that well Thomas.” He then looked at Rose and said ”only I know you Rose. I know you too well. My love to you has always held on the hope that you will get better and be a responsible a.d.u.l.t. But you just don't give up on lying.”

”I am sorry Ermanno. I was scared. You know I always wanted a family but after your visit to the rehab you said we wanted time and said we need time. And I guess you were right but..” said Rose.

”But nothing Rose. Yes we needed time. And I think the time we spend apart has made us mature enough for us to finally build a stable future for us and our children” said Ermanno.

”Aren't you going to ask me if I want this?” Asked Rose.

”I already have Xavier and can easily get custody of Emerald. But I don't want to do that. I want my children and their mother with me. You don't have a choice. Either you have it all or nothing at all.” Said Ermanno.

”How can you make Rose stay with you by force. You both are divorced.” Said Thomas.

”They can re-marry.” Said Sabina.

”No. Don't marry her again. Stay together for a while if you want, then you will see how wrong your decision is and then you can take the children with you and leave her and come back” said Elisio.

”Wow.. you really don't want them to work out their differences and build a healthy relationship. Do you?” Said Kyle.

”They are not good together. Why can't anyone see that” said Elisio with full anger.

”How can you be so sure? And how will they know if they don't give eachother a second chance. They don't need to please you, You know?” Said Kyle.

”I don't need to re marry Rose” said Ermanno.

”Why not?” Asked Thomas.

”Because she is still my wife. We are not divorced” said Ermanno.
