"Where are we going?" asked Stev. The man asked with his eyes focused on the street. Not the slightest bit turned to Bella even if only to catch a glimpse of the beautiful girl's face.
While Bella, who heard what Stev had just asked, snorted, "I'll go wherever this car goes. You drive," the girl replied indifferently. Still annoyed that Stev left too. In fact, she longed for freedom even if only for a moment.
Bella could hear Stev chuckling softly before answering.
"Is there a recommendation for a good place?" asked Stev then. He turned the wheel towards the city.
Bella was silent for a moment. Trying to think of a good place for her to find clothes in this bustling city.
"What about the Mall? I it's better than having to go to the boutique,"Bella suggested. The girl turned to the handsome man next to her. Even though the street was bright, Stevens face still couldn't s
The words that were too vulgar said by the man made Bella feel embarrassed because many women were now staring at her with condescending eyes. As if Bella didn't deserve to stand next to Stev because of their vast differences. "Stev!" the girl tried to yell at Stev not to speak carelessly. To which Stev replied, sadly, with a lack of interest. "Noisy. Just take everything you want. And don't ask too many questions," said Stev with a soft snort. "Do you want to buy this too? What's the size of your chest?" the man asked as he took a red bra and hung it in the air. Making Bella many times regret over and over at herself being around Stev. The girl glared at Stev. Gives the man a signal to be quiet. Seeing Bella's eyes, which seemed to pop out from looking at her, made Stev chuckle. Then the man put the bra he was holding in its original place. "Ouh,
"Honey. Why do you call him boss? Is he your boss?" asked the red-haired woman with furrowed brows. She couldn't help stealing glances at Stev who was much more handsome than her lover. While the woman who Stev had called Smith earlier stared at him lover for a moment. "Yes, dear. He's my boss," he said, looking at his girl gently. "But, what boss? Aren't you the top leader in the company?" asked the red-haired woman she did not understand. And what the woman's lover showed afterward was a face with a cold expression. Bella could not understand why the man was staring at him lover with such sharp eyes. As if the words of a sexy woman just now offended him. While Stev, who saw the two human children in front of him, grinned faintly. "Smith, doesn't your lover know what your real job is?" asked Stev, watching the two without blinking. He couldn't wa
The man snorted, "No," he replied firmly. Makes Bella drop her shoulders instantly and relax on the spot. "Are you really worried I'm leaving?" Bella asked skeptically. She took a deep breath before resuming hers speech. "I myself have surrendered myself to you, is it still appropriate for me to leave without your permission?" The man in front of him just didn't answer quietly. He took a short breath and slightly opened his thin lips which had been tightly closed. "Indeed, you gave yourself up to me," said Stev. "I have your own reasons why I hold you, apart from you yourself who have promised me not to run away." Bella's eyebrows narrowed as if she was confused. "What is your reason?" asked Bella. The girl had absolutely no idea why Stev had tied himself to such a tight rope. Bella feels that she is no different from Dori and Mory at home. Always have the comfort of a
Stev sat his ass on the dark blue sofa in the living room in the house. The man turned his gaze around the house and judged it without a word, only through the eyes alone described everything he saw. This two-story house was no more luxurious than the mansion, but this house looked clean and everything was neatly arranged. Not a little different from the items in the mansion. "Have a drink, sir," said a woman's voice addressing Stev's eardrum. Stev looked away from the photo frame hanging on the wall. There is a photo of Bella between her two friends who are on the right and left of the girl. The three of them look happy in the photo. Especially Bella, the girl smiled broadly until she showed her white teeth. With the large light green beach hat wrapped around the girl's head, it seemed to be fluttering slightly. Stev studied the woman Bella had called named Kylie. The woman is placing the tray of drinks on the tab
"You already want to go home?" Sean asked as he watched Bella get up from her seat followed by Stev. "Yes, Sean. I have other things to do at the mansion." Bella looked at Sean gently. "Why is it so fast? Kylie hasn't even come home from buying a snack.You don't want to wait for her first?"Sean asked. The man glanced at Stev who was standing behind Bella. Waiting for the girl to converse with Sean for rebirth before they go home. Bella shook her head softly, "I think she's still a long time away. Say hello to her, Sean. Tell her I'm sorry I didn't see her before I got home." Bella said with a face of regret. Of course she regretted leaving without saying goodbye to Kylie first. Sean nodded in response. The man smiled faintly and hugged Bella. "Very well, little sister. Take care of yourself there. Don't get sick,"said Sean who advised the girl. The man then looked
Stev sneered softly. "It's because you forced me," he replied bitterly. "Tch. I told you I wanted to go alone. But you won't let me if you don't come. Actually, who forced who is here?" Bella replied, no less curt. Stev didn't answer. Instead, it continued to drive the car that had now entered the mansion's gate, and Stev's car entered the courtyard of the luxurious mansion. The rain subsided even more when they got here. Although it still left a few specks of water from the still cloudy sky. It looks like there will be even heavier rain tonight. And Bella sighed at the sight, remembering that there was no heating in her room like Stevens had. That man is cheating! why did he only install heating in his own room? Bella thought she wanted to swap rooms with Stev. Bella got out of the car as soon as Stev stopped the four-wheeler in the garage. She w
Just as Bella thought. Tonight the rain fell heavily soaking everything in the city of Los Angeles. None other than Stev's mansion which is now getting colder because of the air brought by the rain. Even though it was raining outside with the wind blowing a little hard, Bella did not leave what activities the girl was doing. Bella sat on the chair in her room. The girl looked busy with a pencil and a drawing paper under it. Yes, the girl is drawing. This is Bella's hobby since she was a child. Bella used to dream to become a famous designer. However, that dream just ended because of several problems that occurred in hers life. Bella sighed softly. The girl stopped her hand from scribbling the paper which was originally pure white without stains. Now there are other features in the paper. Makes Bella smile slightly when she sees her impressive work. "This is beautiful, can I be a designer in t
Stev sighed softly. No matter how much he talked to Bella, the girl still wouldn't answer him. The girl was focused on her current fear. "I'll take you to your room," said the man. He immediately led Bella to stand up and invite the girl back to hers room. Even though she was still terrified, Bella followed Stev and walked beside the man. A glimpse of the bright light outside was visible again. In stark contrast to the darkness of Stev's blackout mansion. I do not know, maybe there is an interference with the mains electricity. So they turn off the electricity for mutual safety. "Lie down," Stev said to Bella. The two of them had arrived at Bella's room, which was also dark without any lighting. The girl obeyed and lay down on hers bed. "Don't go, Stev." Bella grabbed the man's arm tightly. Not giving Stev a chance to leave even if only to return to his room. &n
"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
