Bella wrinkled her brows when she heard what Stev had just said.
Lucy's former friend? She didn't hear wrong, right?
She was not so surprised that Lucy and Joseph knew each other. The two of them had met when Lucy caught herself having dinner with the man at one of the simple restaurants. And at that moment Bella knew that the two of them were not friends. More precisely mutually hostile.
Lucy had once told herself that Joseph was an underling of Stev's great enemy. Which indirectly he also became Joseph's enemy.
But, at the moment. She really didn't know what had happened between the two of them.
So, Lucy and Joseph ... they both used to be ...friend?
So what made the two of them hostile to each other now? Is it because of who they are today?
"You were Lucy's friend, Joseph?" asked Bella. The woman seemed to know that Josep
Bella didn't hear the man asking her. More precisely Stev was accusing her at the moment. "Saying what?" Bella asked, not understanding. Even who Stev was referring to was still guessing. Perhaps she could guess that Stev was discussing Joseph because he had just pissed Stevens off. The proud face of the man who was in the same room as her looked very reluctant to mention Joseph's name. "Liana," he replied simply. Bella's brows frowned. "You thought I told Joseph about your little lover?" Stev looked at her sarcastically. "Nobody knows about Liana except you," said Stev. His voice sounded very sure that what he was saying was true. Meanwhile Bella snorted softly. She thought Stev was a smart man who trusted explanation and evidence more than what he saw. While being able to hear, that man would never w
"He is indeed a rude man. But, despite his traits he is a good man." "I know," Bella said. The woman sighed softly in the car which was being driven by Lucy. "Did you offend him?" Bella shook her head weakly while squeezing her skirt lightly. "No. He just misunderstood me," she replied. And Lucy just nodded him head looking understanding. The man was self-aware enough and asked no further. He feels that what happened between Bella and Stev can be resolved by the two of them. He has no right to interfere. "Hey, Lucy. Are you coming to Stevens father's mansion too?" The man next to Bella was mumbling something Bella couldn't hear. "What?" asked Bella. "No. He told me to come but I won't," he replied. Judging by his face, the man seemed very disinterested in joining. The man might be going to racing again
And the sound of laughter immediately airs to fill the contents of this room. Joseph didn't move. He was just silent while waiting for what his boss would say after he stopped laughing. "It was trueit's not in vain I find out that bastard's past. " Rudolf stopped his laughter. The man's gaze suddenly turned serious with a hint of a smirk on his handsome face. "Find the woman until we can. We can use her to torture Stev." Joseph nodded in return. The man walked out of his boss's room with brisk steps. Ignoring the various gazes directed at him. . . . Freya rushed to the place where Bella was sitting. The woman quickly pulled out the empty chair next to the woman and immediately positioned herself there. Doesn't care about the views of other employees when th
The woman called Renata smiled at Jennie. "I think I need to go to the bathroom," she said. . . . Renata descended the stairs while casting hers gaze to the rest of Jenjay. The woman carved a faint smile on her lips as this place grew prettier. Although not different from the past. "Hmm?" The woman muttered softly as her eyes caught a beautiful figure who was focused on her work. "New kid, huh?" Renata could not understand why hers feet led her towards that woman. Hers gaze could not be separated from the woman who was now tying her long hair up high. It seems that she is very disturbed when hers hair falls and falls everywhere damaging hers work. "Hi," said Renata kindly. And the woman she was approaching was a little disbelieving wh
"I hope she doesn't make a fuss," Rossie said quietly. And the two friends just stared at her briefly while nodding in agreement. "I hope the same as you," said Anna. While Jennie, who already understood who the person Rossie was referring to, only replied with a light annoyance. "I guess she'll be fine, don't worry." "Yes. Hopefully," replied Ivy. "By the way, chairwoman. When are you going to marry Mr. Jack? We have been very patient to receive invitation letter from you," Ivy teased the chairwoman. The beautiful woman chuckled softly as she realized that the chairwoman's face was slowly starting to change color. "What are you saying?" Jennie replied with her blushing face. "Oh come on. Chairwoman, you are very, very beautiful. There is not one bit less than you. Why are you still pursuing a career? Happiness also needs to
"Who told you to go?" he said coldly. And Ellen closed her eyes tightly. She had completely forgotten about this. "Sorry. What do you want to discuss with me?" The woman asked, turning back and walking toward Stev. The man opened one of the files on his desk. His index finger points to a row of sentences on the paper. "Are you sure about this?" he asked. Ellen nodded confidently. "Yes. That's what I found out from the CCTV that I kept hidden." Stev nodded his head slowly. His gaze dropped below the writing from before. "And this name ... Is it really him?" he asked, trying to make sure. He didn't want to catch the wrong target here. Because he really will use any means to get what he wants. Ellen nodded again. "Yes. I'm sure he did it," said Ellen with a half hiss.
The sound of shoes clattering echoed through the hospital corridors. It was seen that a man continued to run quickly, occasionally wiping the sweat that slid profusely from his forehead. His face looked very worried. After receiving a call from the hospital saying that the person he knew was very well had an accident and is currently being treated in the emergency department, without thinking the man immediately rushed over here. Leaving what he was doing right then and there. The main purpose is now clear. He ran non-stop to get to the emergency room. Even though his breath was faltering, the man still didn't care about him. Until he was not aware when he hit a man who was older than him. "Sorry!" he said while pausing for a moment. The men shook their heads slowly, indicating that he was fine. A few moments later. He had a
"Has she been in a bad accident? How is she now?" asked Devan. Lucy just stared at the man lazily. "Are you worried about her? Even though you two are not close," sneered the man who has blonde spiky hair. Devan ignored Lucy's words. He just snorted softly as the elevator door opened. "I have to check on my patient now. I'll visit her later when I'm done with my assignment," Devan said as he stepped outside. The lift door closed and the elevator, which only contained Lucy, went back up. . . . "Is the food here not to your taste?" asked Ellen when she found Stevens food still intact. The man had not touched the food from ten minutes ago. Ellen thought Stev's food must be cold by now. The woman intended to order Stev more food. The man
"Oh! I didn't think you would be so beautiful in that wedding dress!"Bella lifted her face, she smiled sweetly at Kylie who had just come along with Sean. Hers distended stomach made her cautiously walk towards Bella."Thanks, Kylie." Bella hugged her best friend and vented all her longing there.Kylie patted Bella's back lightly. "Be happy with him." Kylie said sincerely. She let go of hers arms and looked at Stev who was still sitting watching the interaction between the two."You have to take good care of Bella!"Steve snorted. Even without someone ordering him he would certainly do that."Congratulations on your pregnancy."Kylie looked stunned when she heard what Stev had just said. But a second later she smiled. She nodded happily as she rubbed hers stomach.Soon after that. Come Jennie with her boyfriend, Jack
"Bella!"The long-haired woman turned around."Are you okay?" Stev asked anxiously.Bella looked at Stev with a surprised look. Even though only a few minutes ago, Stev was still seen lying under a large rainbow-colored umbrella. And now, suddenly the man was here."I—I'm fine." Bella replied. She then turned. And the young woman she had hit earlier had turned around and walked away from her."Who is she?" asked Stev as he followed where Bella was looking.Bella nodded slowly."I don't know. At first glance hers face resembles someone." She replied."Is that person a man?" Stev's brows furrowed and he looked displeased. It made Bella who was in front of him snort softly. There was a bit of annoyance because of Stev's sudden arrival so she couldn't see the woman's face clearly, she didn't even have time to talk t
Two months passed.Bella lives her life with Stev in peace. In fact, the two of them are getting closer and closer.Since Stev decided to stop being a mafia, he then accepted his father's company which from the start had been inherited by Stev. Him stepmother, of course, hated seeing her husband's company bequeathed to Stev, not Excel. But she couldn't say any more because it had already been decided.While Stev didn't care at all about Alice's hatred for him. Even since then, him relationship with him father has gradually improved.Bella told himself to take him father back. After all he was Stev's father, and he was lucky when one of his parents was still alive.Since then too. Lucy no longer lives in Steve's mansion. Bella had felt bad because it must have something to do with her. But she got a good farewell from Lucy. Lucy also said that he had bought a big house which he wo
"What are you doing?!"Stev widen his eyes full. He glared at Bella, and then turned to the suitcase by the woman's side.Bella flinched a little. She stopped what she was doing when she was folding clothes.Stev walked quickly to Bella, and then threw the woman's suitcase in any direction until the contents scattered."Stev!" Bella screamed as she looked at the man just as sharply."Who allowed you to leave here?!" The man said, trying not to yell or Bella would be even more afraid of him."Let me go. We can never be together. Everything in us is opposites ..."Stev clenched his fists tightly at his sides."Bella—,""I can't accept you if you're still on your feet, Stev." Bella looked up, she looked deeply into the two black eyes."You are selfish!"
"You must be thinking that I'm a narrow-minded person, right?"Steve looked up. He looked deeply into her clear green eyes. Looking for reasons in there for what that woman was thinking. But unfortunately, he found absolutely nothing there except only the woman's gaze that he couldn't decipher.Slowly, he opened his lips."What happened to you? We were fine before." The man said."I'm not forcing you, Stev. The decision is in your own hands."The handsome man who was now sitting in front of the woman stroked his black hair roughly."Why—,""You've done a lot of sinful things, Stev. You've done a lot of atrocities over the years, do you really not want to change?" Bella looked at the man in front of her with a confused look.While Stev could only be silent when he heard what just came out of the woman's lips.
"You came here just because of that?"Bella let out a low breath. "Can't I not?" She asked again."Bella—""You don't want to?" She cut Stev's words as she grabbed the man's finger. She stuck hers finger there.He took a deep breath as he ruffled his hair roughly."Why should it be?""I've been thinking about this for a long time, Stev." The woman stared intently into the man's black eyes.Meanwhile, Steve was silent. He didn't know what to say anymore. The woman in front of him really made him unable to breathe easily."Why don't you understand at all? I've been like this for a long time, and you should understand me. So far, any woman I've been with doesn't mind it. Actually, what's the matter with you?" For the first time. Stev really expressed his heart. He could no longer think clearly in his current state.
"Is that so?"Bella lifted the corners of her lips up. While Lucy who was next to her just nodded. He continued to drive his car past several other drivers. Drove at a moderate speed towards Frankie's residence....Bella stared at the big house in front of her without blinking. She turned to Lucy who was beside her. The man nodded, then walked first followed by Bella."Are all Stev's friends just rich people?" whispered Bella."Are you underestimating him? He can be friends with anyone."Bella nodded her head in understanding. She continued to follow Lucy's footsteps until she entered Frankie's magnificent house.Hers arrival with Lucy was greeted with cheers from the men's friends.If she could say, she actually felt ashamed to be here. But something she had to do that cou
Bella lets Lucy take her to where Stev is. In fact, she wanted to find Stev herself after Lucy gave Frankie's address. But the man still insisted on going with reasons that made her unable to say anything."Is it still far?" Bella asked again. The woman turned her gaze to the man who was driving."About another two kilometers." The man replied. He glanced at Bella out of the corner of his eye. Assess what makes a Stev can fall in love with her.As long as he had known Stev, he had never found him to have a lover. No matter how close Stev was to a woman, things would pass quickly. Nothing lasts more than three months with Stev. All because of how cold the man was to the women who always approached him. Stev doesn't particularly like being around a woman and thinks they're all quick-boring toys.Bella took a deep breath. She stared at the towering buildings before hers eyes."Do yo
“Stev … can you stop?” Bella said without looking at the man who was now typing something on his cell phone. She just stared straight at the balcony which was now wide open.The man sitting on the sofa in hers room stopped moving his fingers. He turned to Bella and smiled faintly at his lover."I'm replying to a message. Don't worry, you're more important than anyone else." The man replied. He turned his gaze back to the phone in his hand."Stop being the mafia."The three words that just came out of Bella's mouth couldn't help but silence Stev. He was stuck in place. Along with the gentle squeeze he did on the rectangular object in his hand.Steve took a deep breath. The man then got up from his seat and walked over to Bella who was on the bed."You're too tired. You better get to bed early." He said as he faced the woman. He turned on the
