Chapter 167 - CHAPTER 164 (1/2)

”So, case closed. Rose is dead and whatever.” Said Elisio bored and everyone looked at him shocked so he continued ”what? Why would he be lying? He knows there is no way he getting out of here alive. I mean look at him. He was smart enough to get into Ermanno's office and tried to steal his software. I mean he did get close to stealing it without leading the theft to him. And then smart enough to trick all of us and take Rose away and now he even says he f.u.c.k.i.e.d her. I say he is the real Guinness here”

Harry was shocked to hear Elisio praise him.

”Are you serious right now?” Asked Aman shocked to what Elisio said.

Ermanno couldn't believe what Elisio was saying but he knew his father and though he was a rude man. He was not that heartless to see his only son suffer and ignore it.

Ermanno knew he was saying all this for a reason.

Lucifer was having a star stuck movement right now. He was going to witness the master of manipulation work in action.

Elisio looks at Harry and walked towards him and stood above him.

Harry sat up on the chair from before with some difficulty and Elisio said ”I didn't like that girl anyway so I don't really care of her. For me, it's one less problem and I really don't care if you are lying or telling the truth. But you see, you hurt my fiore. No one hurts my fiore and gets away with it”

Harry knew Elisio since ever and the world knew his madness for his wife. Harry gulped down and looked around the room and looked back at Elisio.

”I didn't want to hurt her” said Harry to Elisio.

”You shouldn't have. You see the knives around here. This is my collection. I know to use them very well. I have been playing with these knives since I could remember. I know where you can cut a person just enough for him to bleed but not die.” Said Elisio and continued ”my fiore is barely alive. My sweet, innocent delicate flower who means the world to me. Who's smile  is so pure that I  can die a million times for her. And let's not forget kill anyone with a second thought for even placing a finger on her. And you. You stabbed her. She was bleeding when I held her in my arms. She is barely alive because of you. It's only fair you stay barely alive” and walked to the walls with knives and picked a knife and walked back to Harry.

Harry stood up and limped away from Elisio and said ”please, not you”

Elisio stopped walking and said ”don't worry Harry. I don't intend to kill you. As I said you will be barely alive like my fiore. The doctors said she can only breath 10% by herself. You soon will breath exactly the same. I'll keep the best doctors for you who will monitor you breathing and keep you barely alive. ”

”NO. Please. NO. I'll tell everything. Not you” begged Harry.

Ermanno walked to Harry and pulled this collar and said ”f.u.c.k.i.n.g tell me where my Rose is”

”I'll tell, just not him and let me go after that” said Harry.

”Not a f.u.c.k.i.n.g chance” said Ermanno and Elisio said ”okay”

Ermanno looked at Elisio and asked ”how can you let him go?”

”Look boy, my fiore is not recovering. And when she dies I will kill myself too. Atleast you be with your wife. You have a life ahead of yourself. And for this guy. We have evidence that he killed Lola and he is a fugitive of law. If he is sure he can get away with it. Then it's his problem. Just find your wife and get it over with.” said Elisio.

”Yes. I have a plan. Just let me go. I'll tell you where she is” said Harry.

”What are you waiting for? Spill it out. This is wasting my time too much. I have to get back to my fiore” said Elisio.

Harry nodded and said ”let me go first”

Ermanno was about to protest but Elisio agreed.

”Take my car and first lead our men to Rose. After the men have her. You are free to go.” Said Elisio.

”What if I am tracked by your car?” Asked Harry.

”I hate talking to people. I just said you were a genius and here you are trying to prove me wrong” said Elisio.

”No. I'll take your car. I'll figure out what to do. But do you promise to really let me go?” Asked Harry.

”I promise.” said Elisio.

Harry didn't have any option to believe Elisio and somehow Elisio looked very sincere.

Harry, Ermanno and everyone else left the bas.e.m.e.nt except Lucifer and Elisio.

Lucifer smirked at Elisio and said ”I have never seen anyone manipulate anyone like that. Bravo”.

Elisio smiled sadly and walked to the corner and picked an old wine bottle with two glasses and walked to Lucifer and both sat down and  shared a drink.

”Were you serious on killing yourself?” Asked Lucifer.

”I wouldn't have to. My fiore won't leave me and if it comes to that where she has to leave me, then yes. I will leave with her. I can't live without my fiore.” said Elisio.

”I hope it doesn't come down to it.” said Lucifer and both clicked glasses.

Lucifer looked around the bas.e.m.e.nt and said ”you have a beautiful collection. I can see some are handmade. Antiques.”

”Would you like to have it after me?” Asked Elisio.
