"Stev?" Bella said weakly. Hers voice was hoarse.
Meanwhile, the man who was just named now feels relieved. Finally this woman has awakened from her long sleep.
"Oh my God! Are you aware? Are you all right? How are you feeling?" he asked impatiently.
Bella didn't answer right away. The woman was silent as she glanced at Stev without blinking.
"Am I ... still alive?"
Silly question.
"Don't say stupid things. You're still alive!" replied Stev in a tone that didn't sound very good to the ear.
The man did not understand why Bella thought she was dead. The accident that happened to the woman apparently made Bella lose a little of her sanity.
Bella exhaled softly from her mouth. Do not think if she is still alive until this moment. She thought when she would open hers eyes, she was already in heaven and met hers mother ther
"So, have you been going to your father's mansion?" asked Bella.This time, both of them have returned to their respective places. Stev sat beside the woman muttering softly."Hn."Bella tugged at the corners of her lips as she saw the old man's face. He shrugged his shoulders while playing with her fingers because he was bored.Bella also asked again."You went alone?" she said. Though she could already guess what the man would say afterward."No. I went with Ellen," said Stev. He glanced at Bella, who was now shrinking hers gaze."You can handle my absence well." Bella doesn't understand why her mouth spontaneously said like that. She is neither sad nor angry here. She has no right to do that."Yes. You didn't come right away," Stev replied.This time Bella lowered her gaze, she took a small bre
This morning looks very bright Sunlight scrambling to break into the room through the air vent.Meanwhile, Bella, who was still lying with her eyes still tightly closed, slowly began to open her eyes. Her curled lashes twitched.The first sight she saw when hers eyes opened was the figure of a handsome man who was now spreading chocolate jam on the bread in his hand. The man looked as if he had taken a shower, his clothes had changed to a new one and there were droplets of water remaining in his jet black hair.He realized that Bella had woken up from sleep. It was proven when he stopped his activities and turned to Bella."Are you awake?"Questions she didn't need to answer, Bella thought.Instead of answering the words of the man. Instead, Bella looked straight at Stev with a furrowed brow that indicated she was confused.If usually she
Lucy smiled. "Good," he said. He then glanced at the man next to him."What?" asked Stev as Lucy appeared to be watching him.The man who was full of joy then shook his head."It's okay," he replied.He put something he was carrying on the nightstand. Making Bella and Stev both raise an eyebrow."What have you brought?" Bella asked representing what Stev would have asked too."Clothes for you," said Lucy. "But I suggest you ask the nurses in this hospital to help you change your clothes. Don't ask the wrong person for help," said Lucy meaningfully. He couldn't help but glance at Stev again. Until the man who had felt himself being stared at had snorted."What do you mean?" asked Stev, who could no longer bear to sneer.Lucy didn't answer. The man instead grinned broadly like a fool. And Stev was sure that Lucy was rea
Bella lowered her smile. She looked at something that was in hers hand.The lily she was holding reminded her of someone. The little girl who sells flowers around with a small basket that she always carries with her.Shyla. Bella hasn't even had time to keep her promise to visit the little woman's house. Who only lived alone with hers grandmother."Do you think of something?"The deep voice that sounded from the man who sat next to her made Bella look away from the Lily flower.She nodded slowly."I remember the little girl who sold flowers," she said.The man next to her did not move. He just muttered softly. He thought Bella was thinking so hard. It turned out to be just a flower girl.Joseph looked at Bella intensely.As he opened his mouth to make a sound, Joseph said calling the woman's name
It took half an hour for Bella to calm her tears. After half an hour she was satisfied to drain hers tears. Finally she could feel herself more relieved now.Both of hers eyes were slightly swollen. However, Bella didn't care. Instead, she looked at Joseph with disgust."You always manage to make me cry," she said with a hiss.While the man before her could show no other expression than a satisfied smile."It's because you're too whiny," he joked.Bella rolled her eyes bored."Why hasn't your annoying nature ever changed?" Bella asked, irritated. do not forget with hers hands folded in front of hers chest.Joseph sneered softly. "How do you want me to change?" he asked."Uhm ... A little humorous?" she suggested, snapping hers fingers.Joseph chuckled. "Don't be kidding," he said.
That afternoon, at Jenjay.Freya supported her own face using one of her hands. While the other hand is on the table and tapping hers finger on the desk.Every now and then she sighed heavily.Feeling that something was missing in this great building. Even the pile of paper in front of her she ignored. It seemed like she didn't have the mood to do anything other than daydream. Sometimes, at certain times daydreaming is actually fun for her."What is wrong with you? You look like a person who has no enthusiasm," asked hers friend who had just passed in front of her."I just don't feel excited," she said softly.The friend shook hers head slowly at Freya's behavior. She is back on hers way and doing hers job. Leaving Freya alone with her complicated thoughts.She sighed softly."Why doesn't Bella come in again? Is she h
"You ... Why are you here?"Freya looked at the man in front of her with a surprised expression. Didn't expect this man to dare to enter hers workplace just to meet her.The man was showing a smile that could make some of the women here lose their breath."Are you Jennie's assistant?" he asked.Freya nodded slowly. Felt a little strange with Joseph's question."Why do you know the chairwoman?" Now she is asking the question to the man.Joseph furrowed his brows, not understanding why Freya was so confused by his arrival."Didn't Jennie tell you? I came to get my tux," explained Joseph.Freya gasped."What?!" she shrieked in disbelief. "So ... the chairwoman's loyal customer is you?" she said in surprise. She felt ashamed of herself because she assumed that the man had come to see her. 
Today is Bella's fifth day of discharge from the hospital. Even though she still hasn't fully recovered, Bella has started using her own cane to walk.Nothing has changed. The residents of this house are always busy with what they are doing. A job that even she herself found it difficult to define. Too complicated, and she was in the middle of it."Miss? Did you just change your own clothes?" asked a woman with a plate of food in her hand. She put and set it on the table. And then helped Bella to sit on the chair that was there.Bella smiled thinly at the maid."It's easy. I can do it myself," she replied.Nana sighed softly. "You should have asked me, take it easy, I'm here to serve you," she smiled broadly. Both hands then took the food listed and gave it to Bella."Aren't you here at Stev's order?" asked Bella. She told Nana to sit and eat with her. But th
"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
