Nana nodded completely without hesitation.
"Yes! Mr Stev even has a photo with her. He showed it to me once," said the maid.
"Where is the photo now?"
Bella can't hold back her curiosity. But the answer from Nana afterward made her shrug her shoulders.
"I don't know. Mr. Stev must have kept these treasured memories very well."
Bella sighed softly. If what Nana said was true, about herself being very much like the woman in Stevens past. So, she who is here is none other than Liana's shadow?

"Hello, I'm Kath Ellen, journalist for the Daily Media. Can I meet your chief executive, Mr. Nicholas Wilson. We want to do an interview with him."
Ellen looked at the female receptionist in front of her with the sweet smile she displayed. She gave hers identification card to the recep
"Has he gone the way we planned?" Stev asked Lucy who was next to him.Lucy nodded."About ten minutes ago. He had already taken the alternative route here. They will close this alternative road access and divert other motorists to take the public road."The spiky-haired man was seen fiddling with his cellphone. Was exchanging news with people ordered by him.They were currently on one of the alternative roads that connected Evanston and Chicago. With various large tall trees towering on the right and left of the road.It didn't look terrible at all, as the lights along this road were burning like lanterns in the dark forest."We don't have much time," said Stev. Intend to warn Ellen not to take too long with their target."Are you ready? Ellen?" Stev asked the woman who had just pressed the last key on her laptop keyboard.
"Ah sorry, my hand just did it," she said with a face pretending to be sorry.Nicholas stepped back when he saw the woman in front of him walking towards him."Who are you?!" he shouted. He could feel that the woman in front of him was now very dangerous.Ellen's face suddenly turned flat."Do you think?"Nicholas gritted his teeth angrily."I don't know who you are! What's your problem ?!"He glanced at the car parked not far from his car. The car was the car he had seen earlier.Nicholas is very sure that the woman in front of him now has a connection with what is happening to him. His accident was definitely not an accident. He knows if his personal driver, Dey. Intend to avoid accidents that will occur. But something unexpected happened to him.Ellen snorted softly."You r
"Life must be paid with life," The woman hissed. She stared at the sly man below her with a low growl."You think I'm stupid? Your family will definitely not stand by and pay dearly so you can get out of jail!" she said again.Nicholas shook his head softly. All his body ached, he did not expect that Ellen would take revenge on him for what he had done to her family."W — what do you want? I'll give you everything you want ..." he said again, trying to persuade the woman to let him go."I don't need anything. All I need is your death, in my hands!" Ellen replied fiercely."You!"Nicholas widened his eyes as Ellen roughly popped a few medicinal pills into him mouth.The woman continued to force himself to swallow the pills. At this time he was desperately trying to spit out the medicine. But Ellen's hand forced him, the woman closed
Just when they had passed the path full of lush trees and had entered the public lane, Ellen with a satisfied face and casually pressed the red button on the small remote."Mission accomplished," said the woman who had just heard an explosion far behind them. She chuckled softly, before finally throwing the small remote in hers hand back."Ouch!" groaned someone who was sleeping in the back seat. With both hands as pillows. And it made Ellen snort lazily."We'd better just leave that idiot in the woods, Stev," said Ellen, rolling her eyes. The woman then took her coat which was in front of her and put it on quickly.Meanwhile, Stev, who was next to her, didn't answer anything. The man only focuses on driving....Bella really couldn't understand what was going on. When she was still curled up comfortably in hers warm blanke
Stev looked out through the clear glass next to him. After a transit process that took nearly five hours, the plane he was traveling on finally returned to flying. Slowly starting to rise leaving the land which is getting smaller and smaller."Stev?" call someone who is next to him.The man turned his head, he could see Ellen who was beside him with a bright face."Hn?" replied the man, full of ambiguity.Ellen smiled faintly at the man."Thank you, I feel relieved now," she said.And Stev, who was now leaning his head, pulled one corner of his lips up."No need to thank you, you did it yourself." The man replied expressionlessly.Ellen shook her head softly."But, it's still because of you. Without your help, I probably wouldn't have been able to find Nicholas until now. And that bastard can stil
While the man who was currently spinning the gun in his hand grieved. The two legs that crossed each other swayed slowly."I know," he replied apathetically. "Everything is aimed at that bastard, nobody else but him," he said with a faint grin.Joseph nodded."Yes. He flew to Chicago a few days ago," he announced.Rudolf chuckled softly."Do you think he was there just to get revenge on his girl friend?"Joseph's eyebrows frowned."Ellen?" he made sure."Yes. Who else?"Joseph is silent for a while"Revenge?" he repeated.Rudolf watched intently his trusted subordinate."Yes. Nicholas slaughtered the woman's entire family until nothing was left. I'm a little surprised that one of the family is still alive, in fact she's behind Stev's b
"Are you back?" asked Bella.But the man standing at the door didn't answer. He was just silent as he walked closer to Bella."How are you?" he asked, putting down his jacket carelessly and sitting down beside her.Bella sighed softly. If she could, she didn't want to answer the man's question because Stev was also ignoring hers question. But Bella knew exactly what would happen to her if she did."I've started walking with a cane," she replied as she closed the book on hers lap."Are you that tired?" asked Bella. She raised her hand to wipe the sweat that was running down the man's forehead slowly. Stev did not say anything, but his two onxies did not escape from her."You sweat a lot," Bella said with a soft snort. The woman then took the tissue that was above the nightstand and wiped her wet fingers."What have you been doing while I'm
"Who would you like to meet, Stev?" asked Lucy when the man saw Stev had finished his call."Somebody," Stev replied curtly. He then stepped off his feet to leave the two people at the dining table.He climbed the stairs one by one with leisurely steps to his room."Is he going to meet a woman?" asked Lucy to the woman who was nearby."I don't know either, you fool!" Ellen scolded the spiky man. She fixed hers eyes to the floor above. Where Stev was."I'm pretty sure he's going to meet a woman, and maybe after that — ouchh !!"Lucy glared at Ellen as she hit him head with a spoon in her hand. The woman glared at himself. And Lucy didn't understand why that woman was acting like that."What are you ?!" he said irritably. He gently stroked his head, which hurt as if he had just been stung by a bee.Ellen sne
"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
