Chapter 156 - CHAPTER 153 (1/2)

After a hearty brunch everyone gathered to take the annual family picture.

”I am going to stand next to dad” said Rose.

Elisio stared at Rose standing beside him. He then felt his Fiore's soft hand in his hand. He turned to look at Sabrina smiling at him.

He forgot about Rose and smiled at Sabrina but that was short lived as Rose decided to speak again.

”Dad” called Rose.

Elisio clenched his jaw.

”Please” said Sabrina with a smile and continued ”she is our daughter”

”There is a reason I didn't want children fiore” said Elisio.

”What's the reason dad” asked Rose.

Elisio looked at Rose and smirked and said ”the reason I didn't want more kids is because I would not be able to kill my own children as they would also be my Fiore's. And I wouldn't put my fiore in sorrow of loosing her child.”

”That's logical. So, you would kill someone easily?” Asked Rose.

”So easily. I can erase a person's whole existence. Like that person didn't even exist” said Elisio.

”Wow. If I tell you to get rid of someone will you do that for me?” Asked Rose.

Elisio looked deep into Rose's eyes and came close to her face and whispered ”I can get rid of you too”

”How?” Asked Rose with wide eyes and open mouth.

”I can show you rather than tell you” said Elisio.

”I want her dad” said Ermanno and pulled Rose next to him and stood between Rose and Elisio.

”Ermanno, dad is going to show me how he can get rid of me” said Rose.

”If he gets rid of you. You will lose me and our children” said Ermanno.

Rose hugged Ermanno and looked at Elisio and said ”I want to stay”

”Then don't tease the wolf and expect to not be eaten” said Elisio.

Rose smiled and said ”wolf can't do shit. Cause his moon loves me”

Elisio looked at Rose and turned to look at Sabrina who had Emerald and Xavier in her arms.

Elisio smiled at Sabrina and she turned to smile at him.

Elisio looked back at Rose and said ”not everyday is full moon”

Rose stoped smiling and Elisio smirked.

Whole year everyone were busy with work, traveling, studying or what not. But it was the holidays which brought all the family together.

After the pictures where taken everyone sat in the living room to drink some hot cocoa and kids were eating candy.

”Next event is going to be Emerald's birthday on New year's Eve. What do want for your birthday Emerald?” Asked Sasha.

”I don't know” said Emerald eating candy seated with Bella on the floor.

”She is dumb” said Romeo.

”Papa says it's better if girls are dumb, you can use them better” said Xavier.

Everyone looked at Elisio and he asked ”what? You disagree?”

”Yes” said all the women in the family except Sabrina who asked ”you think I am dumb?”

Elisio smiled and said ”you are innocent”

”That's a cover-up word for dumb” said Martina.

Elisio glared at Martina.

After some more teasing and laughter everyone were still seated around Zeke's place when a maid brought in a parcel for Rose.

Rose took the parcel which didn't have sender's name on it.

Rose opened the parcel and found a disk.

”What can be in this?” Asked Rose and thought for few minutes and then looked at Ermanno and whispered something.

Ermanno raised his eyebrows and looked back at Rose.

”What's going on? What's with the disk?” Asked Julius.

Ermanno looked at Rose and awkwardly said ”remember I said I found a camera in my office sometime back. Rose thinks it's a recording of that night when we both were there in my office”

”What is that you did in the office again?” asked EJ with a wicked smile.

”We did it” said Rose and smiled at Ermanno.
