Everyone laughed and Zeke was happy to see Arlo laughing with them and not in stress.
"So dad, no one hit you, huh? So that's why you are the way you are?" Asked Ermanno seated near Sarah.
"I didn't hit you to boy that's why you are the way you are. But it's never too late to straighten you in a boxing ring" said Elisio.
"You would lose dad," said Ermanno.
"Challenge excepted," said Elisio with a hard expression.
Everyone left to Arlo's mansion except Sabina and Vincenzo.
Aria left with Sabrina after she was promised to be back in the morning.
All the men sat in Arlo's study discussing business.
"I can't believe he was in stress. But the stress of what?" Asked Isaiah.
"Once he gets better we need to have a chat with him," said Zeke.
"So who is going to take care of the office here?" Asked Nevio.
"I think you should do it Ermanno. You are here anyways" said Enrique.
Ermanno nodded and said "okay"
"Are you sure you can handle it? Or do you need any assistance? We are aware that your computer work takes a lot of time" said Elisio.
"I will give it my best. And if I can't handle anything I'll ask for assistance" said Ermanno.
"I know you can do it. I have faith in you" said Enrique and continued "and always remember who you are representing. When you walk in any Devonte business organisation you are not only representing yourself but each and every one of us"
Ermanno smiled and said "yes dad"
Everyone laughed and Enrique snickered and said: "you do know that that's what Elisio uncle told me when I took over as CEO."
"I was sure he did" then Ermanno looked at Elisio and said "that's why I said yes dad. Cause I was sure these are the words of the great Elisio Devonte"
Elisio smiled looking at Ermanno.
"You both are weird. The way you express your love to eachother is fucked up" said EJ.
"There are only two in this world," said Isaiah and all laughed out loud.
Sabrina packed breakfast for Arlo and left early to the hospital the next day.
She walked in and saw Vincenzo passed out in the waiting room just beside the room and Sabina sleeping on the couch in the room.
"She is tired," said Arlo.
Sabrina looked at Arlo and nodded and said "you scared us"
"Sorry," said Arlo.
"It's okay. As far as it was not anything serious and you are okay" said Sabrina and placed the breakfast basket on the side table.
"How are you feeling?" Asked Sabrina removing the breakfast from the picnic basket. When she didn't get an answer from Arlo she looked at him who had tears looking at her.
"Arlo" called Sabrina confused.
"Have you forgiven me completely?" Asked Arlo.
Sabrina thought for few minutes and asked "oh my god Arlo. Is that what caused this? Arlo, I would not have forgiven myself if something happened to you for this reason. We moved on for our kids. I forgave you, Arlo. You can't live your life with this one guilt."
"I can't forgive myself even today. I tried to rape you and forced myself on you and for that, you lost your child. I didn't know you were pregnant. God how can you forgive me" cried, Arlo.
"God forgives the biggest of sins if asked for forgiveness with a clear heart. I am no one close. I forgave you a long time back. Please don't torcher yourself for something you have already been forgiven for. Please move on Arlo. Please if not for anyone but for your children. And forgive me if I ever made you feel guilty" cried Sabrina holding his hands.
"Please don't say that" cried, Arlo.
"I promise you, I have forgiven you. I would not have allowed you to call me flower if I didn't forgive you" said Sabrina.
"You are my flower," said Arlo.
"No, she is my Fiore. And get your hands off my Fiore" said Elisio coming in the room.
"I saw her first," said Arlo wiping his tears.
"But she has always been mine. And I forgive you too" said Elisio.
"Who asked your forgiveness?" said Arlo.
"I am giving it anyways," said Elisio and continued "leave her before I cut off another finger"
Arlo smirked and looked at Sabrina and pulled her and kissed her hand and got out of bed and ran out of the room.
"You fucking ass I'll kill you," said Elisio and tried to catch him and ran behind him.
Sabrina laughed at them and suddenly started crying.
She then felt Sabina hugging her and Sabrina cried Koreans said "I have forgiven him. I have forgiven him".
"I know," said Sabina and both hugged eachother.
No one was aware that Vincenzo was listening all the conversation between Arlo and Sabrina.
Vincenzo clenched his teeth and didn't understand what to think.
Be ashamed of his father or feel sorry for Sabrina who he called mummy and considered her as his own mother.
