Chapter 164 - CHAPTER 161 (1/2)

Ermanno was heartbroken seeing his Rose in this state.

Zeeshan placed his hand on Ermanno's shoulder and said ”we'll find her and that motherf.u.c.ker is going to go through hell”

”We were only just getting better. She was trying really hard. She is going through all of this because of me. Just cause I fell in love with her” said Ermanno looking down at his lap.

”It's not your fault that you fell in love with her. You are not the one who hit her. Don't blame yourself” said Lucifer.

”I have wronged her enough. Oh Mio Rosa” said Ermanno and was about to get up and leave when Elisio stoped him and said ”grow a pair boy and don't run away from being a man who needs to look for his love. Love which you always claim to do. If you expect us to find her for you while you sit in a corner and cry. Then, here is news for you. Lucifer would rather be with his wife and so, shall I. I wouldn't want to be anywhere but next to my fiore right now. So, choose”

”Oh my god. Is this how fathers speak to their sons?” Asked Aman.

”No, they both are special. Literally, one of a kind” said Bruce.

Ermanno looked at Elisio and said ”I am here”

”Good and let's get this done without anymore drama” said Elisio and Lucifer laughed a little and shook his head.

”What?” Asked Elisio.

”You are mean and yes, I am saying that” said Lucifer.

Everyone got back to discussing the tape.

”Why is she agreeing to everything? What does he have on her?” Asked Aman, Lucifer's right-hand man.

”Go back a little,” said Elisio looking at the tape intensely.

Ermanno didn't want to see Rose in that state again, so Brad stepped in and stood beside his chair and said ”I got this” and Ermanno nodded.

Brad went back few seconds in the video and Elisio told him to stop and play.

”She is saying something,” said Bruce.

”Play it again just slower,” said Lucifer.

Brad played the video again and everyone intensely looked at it to figure out what she was saying.

It was hard to read her lips which were bleeding and were swollen a little.

”Save.. please. Save who?” Asked Lucifer.

”Save Xavi, please,” said Elisio and looked at Lucifer and said, ”Xavi is my grandson”.

”Where is he?” Asked Aman.

”Back home. He is fine” said Elisio.

”Rose thinks Xavi is with Harry. Rose doesn't know mom risked her life to save Xavi. He is lying to her” said Ermanno.

Everyone sat down in silence for a minute and then Lucifer looked at Zeeshan and said: ”what do you know till now?”

”My men contacted the local gangs in New York and no one has seen or come across this guy. He is nowhere to be found in the lower and cheaper side of the New York” said Zeeshan.

”He is not that rich that he may buy a house or apartment in New York,” said Joshua.

”I sent cops and some of our guards to look into his previous residence, but it was no use. There was someone else living there now and the place was cleaned up good” said Alena.

”I still have some of his doc.u.ments from back when I was collecting information about him. I looked into it but nothing stood out” said Katrina.

”Give those doc.u.ments to someone else to look into. They may find out what you may have missed. Give them to strawberry” said Alena.

Everyone looked at strawberry and Aman smiled and said: ”your name is strawberry?”

Rock was standing beside strawberry and said: ”no one eats you cause you a fruit?” And laughed.

”No one trips on you cause you are Rock?” said strawberry and Rock narrowed his eyes on strawberry.

Elisio looked at Ermanno and said ”I know it will be hard for you but I want you to look at the video again and try to see anything which could hint us where she can be. Use your freaky OCD problem for good”

Ermanno looked at Elisio and nodded and told Brad to play the video again.

Everyone concentrated at the background and Joshua said ”it looks like a bas.e.m.e.nt”

”A suburban bas.e.m.e.nt. Look at the washer and dryer in the corner”  said Ermanno and pointed out few more things which were commonly found in a suburban house.
