Rose stood there looking at Ermanno leave. She then turned to look at Elisio looking at her.
"So what's next?" Asked Elisio.
"I don't know what you are talking about" said Rose.
"You have been quite lately. Why? What are you planning?" Asked Elisio.
Rose laughed a little and said "you don't run around the bushes, do you? Ask direct questions without filter"
"I don't like to waste time" said Elisio.
Rose looked down and whispered "and I don't have time"
"What?" Asked Elisio.
Rose walked to the Elisio and patted his chest lightly and said "patients. Grandpa"
Elisio held her hand and said "I love my fiore. Did you see the happiness on her face? I live my life for that. Take that away and I swear I will kill you. And I don't make hollow threats"
Rose smiled and said "it must feel so nice to be loved like that."
"You can't clap with one hand. You need to love to be loved. My fiore saved me from myself. She gave me a peaceful life. I am only returning her debt. If you want to be loved that way, trust me. My son is no different from me. He claims to love you since the day he saw you. Love him back and live being loved everyday. Forget what happened and move on. It's not too late." Said Elisio.
Rose had tears in her eyes and said "I am too close to get what I wanted. I am not backing down now."
Elisio could see that Rose was far gone to come back.
"I hope you don't do anything which you will regret for the rest of your life." Said Elisio and left Rose's hand and walked out of the room.
Elisio dialled a number on his phone and said "I want you to do something for me"
After dinner all retired for bed.
Sabrina was so excited that she kept on talking about all that the women had planned for the party.
Rose had changed into a night gown and came out of the closet to see Ermanno shirtless smiling at her.
She went close to him and hugged him.
"I love you Mio Rosa. Did you see the happiness you gave mom? Thank you" said Ermanno.
Rose looked up at him and kissed his lips.
"Ermanno I want you to make love to me today like it is our last day on earth" said Rose.
Ermanno smirked and said "with pleasure" and man Ermanno loved her.
He only stopped when Rose started closing her eyes from being exhaustion.
He moved out of the bed and cleaned himself and brought a warm cloth and cleaned Rose.
He layed back on the bed and put his hand on her stomach. He again got up a little and kissed her stomach and said "I love you so much and will love you always no matter if you are my princess or my buddy"
Rose moved and turned to her side.
Ermanno slept back on the bed and hugged her from behind and slept. Rose opened her eyes which had tears in them.
The party was arranged in the large backyard of the mansion. There was tent, chairs, tables and lots of food.
It was only the Devonte family today. Everyone agreed to have a bigger party with all the girls families and friends for the baby shower.
Today was only a Sunday lunch with gender reveal with the whole family.
Julius and EJ were getting impatient and were extremely angry with Ermanno as he was not present here. And as for Lily's instructions all the fathers were to be present for pictures and the big reveal.
Ermanno walked in the backyard and Julius and EJ jumped on him with anger. Ermanno apologizes as he had some last minute work on his computer.
Pictures were taken and lunch was done. There was a big screen in the tent which showed video of all the soon to parents childhood pictures.
Now for the big reveal.
First was Julius and Sasha as they were expecting their child first.
They both opened a big cardboard box and blue balloons flew out which meant they were having a boy.
Next was EJ and Martina. They too had blue balloons.
Now it was Ermanno and Rose.
They opened the box and pink balloons flew out. Everyone screamed in happiness as girls were rare to be born in the Devonte family.
Rose was the only one with a hard expression and Elisio was looking at her.
Rose looked at Ermanno and said "Ermanno, I want something from you"
"You have everything I own. What else can I give you?" Asked Ermanno smiling wide.
"Ermanno. I want a divorce" listening to Rose everyone cooled down and were shocked.
"Why?" Asked Ermanno.
"I don't want to bring up my child with you. Because I don't you to touch her like you touched me" said Rose.
Ermanno's ground shook below him. It felt like his whole world had come down crumbling in pieces. He couldn't believe Rose said that to him.
Time had stopped in the Devonte mansion as everyone stood frozen in their place.
