EJ, Remy and Ivanov were constantly behind him to stop his behaviour.
Enrique also talked to him about responsibilities and how his behaviour will cost him in the future. Enrique asked him if he had something in his mind which was bothering him and Ermanno could tell him and as a big brother, Enrique would make it go away without anyone knowing about it.
And that's when Ermanno broke down crying and told Enrique about what he did with Rose and how Sofia had been cashing him.
Ermanno also told him about the video Sofia had of him with Rose.
And not just one but many.
"She has been planning this for a long time," said Enrique.
"I wasn't thinking. I am not into little girls. I am not a paedophile. I don't want young girls. And right now I don't even want Rose. I hate her for making me feel this way. I want to kill her so that I don't feel this miserable. I want her dead. She ruined everything. I hate her. I hate her." Cried Ermanno.
"Look. First, it's not her fault. And I don't understand this kinks and stuff, okay? This want for that girl is something I am not familiar with but I know who will help. You can work on forgetting about Rose later. But now, we have to figure out how we can get those videos." Said Enrique.
"And pictures," said Ermanno.
"Jesus. What did you do with that child?" Asked Enrique.
Ermanno looked at Enrique and Enrique just put his hands up in defence and said " sorry. I am on your side. We are family and we stick together. Okay so, it's obvious that she must have those videos and pics in her laptop. So we find a hacker who will get into her system and hack it. And I know one person who can do that"
"Who?" Asked Ermanno.
"Brad. I have seen him manager all the CCTV cameras of the mansion with his father, Joshua. He has hacked in the main computer and helped me out many times to erase footage when I would sneak out of the mansion or bring Ruby into the gardens and we would ... You know.." said Enrique.
Ermanno nodded and they both with the help of Brad hacked into Sofia's computer and removed all the videos and pictures.
Ermanno was impressed with Brad's skills and offered to make him his partner to create a master computer he had been working on for a while.
After Sofia lost all the videos and pictures she tried to apologise. But Ermanno had other plans.
He had gone through blackmail, humiliation and fucking lost tons of money because of her in the last 8 months of time. And Sofia would remind him constantly about what he did. Which was mental torture?
Ermanno started punishing her in a BDSM manner. He took over as a dominant and punished her. He would lose control sometimes and would take her to Mia for treatments.
Sofia begged him to leave her alone but Ermanno was determined to punish her.
Ermanno would only let her be when she was with Rose.
Every time Ermanno called Sofia to meet. She would make up excuses which included Rose.
Ermanno started hating Rose's name.
First Rose made him lose control of himself and put impure thoughts in his mind. Second Sofia would constantly say that Rose always suggests Sofia leaves Ermanno.
Rose... Rose... Rose...
Ermanno hated her name.
And after he was satisfied with punishing Sofia and done hearing Rose's name. He decided to break all contacts with the Brown sisters.
But faith had different plans.
After breaking up for just one month Ermanno came to know that Sofia was pregnant.
Ermanno was happy to know that he was going to be a father. There was different happiness that he felt to know he would have a child of his own.
He wanted Sofia back in his life.
He talked to her once and she looked frightened by Ermanno.
But Ermanno promised to be good for her and promised to love their child.
Everything was okay but Sofia changed her mind after talking to Rose.
Sofia said that she wanted to abort the child. Ermanno's child.
Ermanno hated Rose for supporting, brainwashing and constantly keeping Sofia away from him.
The day before the accident Ermanno had convinced Sofia to marry him. But all changed when Sofia talked to Rose.
Ermanno knew one thing for sure. Rose's end was his beginning for happiness.
Ermanno was lost in his past and had lost track of time.
He looked down at his watch and saw it was almost midnight.
He had called Rose in the evening to inform her about dinner at the Devonte hotel but he just forgot.
He looked at his phone and saw many missed calls and messages and most of them were from Rose.
He had few from Sabrina, Elisio, EJ and Arlo.
He opened his group chat and sent in a message saying "I am alive" and picked his car keys and left the office.
Ermanno walked into his apartment and found it silent.
He looked around and saw Rose sleeping on the couch hugging a small pillow.
She was wearing a short dress which reached just above her knees.
She had her glasses on and a book in her hand.
Ermanno moved towards her and removed his suit jacket and threw it on the single chair nearby.
He sat at the other end of the couch and looked at Rose.
He moved forward and touched her feet and moved his hand up to her knee.
He split her knees and climbed over her. He moved the pillow, book and removed her glasses and placed them on the floor.
He looked at her and caressed her cheek.
He leaned down and kissed her lips. He broke the kiss and looked at her and saw her open her eyes and smile at him.
"These blue eyes and this smile is what started it all." Said Ermanno.
"Started what?" Asked Rose.
"Us." Said Ermanno and continued "tell me, Rose. What would you have done if I have climbed on you like this when you were 14 years old?"
"I would have kissed you. But I would be whipped by Sofia after" said Rose.
"Sofia hit you?" Asked Ermanno.
"Only when you touched me and I allowed it. She didn't like it that you loved me" said Rose.
Ermanno was shocked with what Rose said.
