The man in front of her smiled barely visible when he saw hers blushing face.
His right hand rose again. This time he didn't touch hers forehead. Instead, he touched some of hers hair which was still loose even though she had tied it up.
"Hurry up and get down, your friend's waiting downstairs." Stev said before the man turned and walked out of Bella's room.
Leaving that woman alone with her brain still spinning.
"Friend?" She muttered softly. And hers eyes suddenly widened as she remembered who she had an appointment with today.
"Oh, my God!"
...Stev really didn't lie to herself about having a friend here. Look, just as she hastily descended the stairs, she saw Freya who was chatting with Lucy with a happy face. Every now and then the two of them laughed together when Lucy made a joke sentence.
T
Stev who heard what Lucy just said then raised an eyebrow upward. A faint grin appeared on his lips. For a moment, there was a flash of complacency in his sharp gaze."Next time I'll give you a more challenging assignment," said Stev.While Lucy, who was still reading some of the sentences in the newspaper, snorted softly."I can't stand it," said Lucy as he stretched him back against the sofa. He stared at the cup in his hand for a moment before returning to sip the contents inside."I didn't know if you were going to use the child," said Lucy again. He let his eyes glance for a moment at the man who was now back playing with his cellphone. Lucy didn't know what Stev was up to, the man seemed to be busy replying to messages from his women who were everywhere."To win. You have to know what his weakness is," said Stev with a soft snort.Meanwhile, Lucy, who w
"Even though he used to be a guy who liked to play with women and made them cry a lot. I hope he won't do that to me."Hear what Freya just said. Inevitably it made Bella stop what she was doing now. She quickly turned hers face to face her.Just yesterday she talked about this with Joseph. The man suddenly followed what she said. He actually followed hers suggestion to be more open to Freya."He actually said that to you?" Bella repeated one more time. Hers chewing stopped just to hear what Freya was about to say.Meanwhile Jennie's assistant nodded quickly. Her beautifully formed lips thinned."Yes. It seems like he wanted me to know about his past before carrying out this relationship in the future. He wanted me to decide for myself how we would go after I found out how he was before."Bella. She could not help but be pleased when she heard this. But on th
Bella gasped lightly when she heard screams coming from behind the phone. She couldn't help but lift one eyebrow up and try to harden hers ears. Feel something strange from their phone"Lucy, what the—,"She had not had time to finish hers words. The telephone line connected to Lucy was disconnected unilaterally.With curiosity now enveloping her. Bella immediately sent a message to the man regarding what she had just heard.Less than a minute, the reply message from Lucy came into hers cell phone. And immediately she read it.Instantly hers eyebrows seemed to wrinkle almost together.Lucy said that he and Stev were currently watching a movie together. And what she had just heard was a screaming sound emitted from the television.But strangely, Bella thought what she just heard was a direct voice. But I don't know ... she also doesn
"What did you just say?"Lover? Seriously! Bella did not understand why the man who was in front of her was so easy to say and claim that she was him lover.Stev seemed to have forgotten what he had done to her before. The pain Bella felt because of the man's rejection still lingers today. And when she wants everything to be fine as before. The man even easily said so.Let hers heart be confused and don't know what to say.The man who put his hands on hers shoulders then squeezed hers shoulders lightly."Is it unclear? Then I'll repeat it one more time. You are—,""—that's not what I wanted, Stev. I just don't know why you could say that. Did you just hit your head with something" Bella guessed as she looked at the man closely.Make the man raise one eyebrow up."What's wrong with you today? Did you meet s
"What must I do to make you want to be with me?" asked the man suddenly.Meanwhile, Bella, who was still stunned at the door, was speechless."I know I've done a lot of wrong to you. So, what do you want for you to forgive me and be with me? I will obey everything that comes out of your lips." The man said once again. His gaze stared straight at the beaded green eyes in front of him.Meanwhile Bella, who is still digesting the words of the man, is silent without a sound. Before then a small grin appeared on hers face."Any?" She corrects.And Stev nodded steadfastly. "Any.""Including freeing me?" said the woman. She tried to hide hers happy face as best as possible.The man with thin sexy lips who always kissed her furrowed his eyebrows thinly. His eyes were narrowed."Aren't you free?" He tilted his face. Reaching f
The two men who didn't stop arguing made Bella chuckle softly. She felt comforted by what was currently in front of her."Do you want me to replace you?" asked Bella. But the man shook his head."You just sit and wait. I will show you how my cooking skills are," said Lucy confidently. And there was nothing Bella could do after that but nodded softly. She chewed hers own lips."Come here," Stev said suddenly. Made the woman turn her gaze to the man."Yes?" Bella walked over to Stev who was now smiling faintly at her. Seriously, Bella didn't even know where the usual Stev had gone. The man changed drastically in an instant. Even he could put a faint smile on herself now."Don't you want to help?" guessed the man. And Bella could do nothing but nod slowly.She glanced down. Staring at the man's hand that is now holding the unpeeled potato.S
Bella walked slowly towards the mini bar mansion. Because the atmosphere is quiet and the lighting is minimal along the hallway to the mini bar, Bella is on guard with a cellphone. She refuses when Stev offers to come with her and prefers a cellphone as her friend.She herself did not understand what Stev was going through in him mind. Many times she had told the man to put a good light here. Stev didn't do it right away, however.Could it be that a man as rich as Stev was saving on electricity expenses?A few moments she walked. Now she is in the mini bar. She could smell the special smell of the room which made her think of Eflic again.Oh. And also, if she remembers Eflic, she will also think of Kylie and Sean. Kylie tells herself that she is now living in the house that Sean had bought from his salary while he was at Eflic."They must be happy ..." Bella muttered, smiling fai
"Let me feel what you felt then."Bella was taken aback. She didn't know what to say and do in a situation like this. The man just told her to slap him? Yet she just didn't want Stev to feel guilty about it."What are you doing? Let's go," said Bella. The woman chose to ignore the man and walked ahead of him. She grabbed the bottles she had left and brought them back."Sorry," said the man. Sounds short but has a deep meaning. He turned around and saw Bella, who was now stopping hers footsteps.The woman sighed softly."I've forgiven you, so don't bring it up again or I'll feel sad," said the woman once again. "Let's go, Lucy is waiting for us."Even though the woman looked fine and had forgiven him. Stev knew that the events of that time would never be forgotten from her mind.Bella realized that the man behind her did not move from him
"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
