"Where are you going?"
Bella looked at the man who was standing in front of her with a flat gaze. Bella is sure this person is one of them. Or maybe their leader?
"Where is your boss?" asked the man.
"He's upstairs," Bella said, glancing at the second floor of the Eflic bar.
There was no time for Bella. She had to get Sean to the hospital immediately. But, the man who was standing in front of her seemed to be blocking her, didn't want Bella to come out.
"Excuse me sir." Bella tried to be polite to the man she thought was handsome. Not. He sure is handsome, really.
The man grinned, staring at Bella's typical bartender appearance at an Eflic bar.
"No," replied the man.
Bella widened her eyes as the handsome man drew closer to her.
"Take me to your boss.” The man pleaded.
"Don't you see I'm in a hurry right now?" Bella snapped at the man. It doesn't matter if the guy gets offended or not. Hers main priority right now was to save Sean.
The man did not answer. However, it still prevented Bella from stepping out.
"You can ask others to escort you, sir."
The handsome man narrowed his lips.
"But what I want is you, no one else.” He pointed at Bella.
Disrespectfully the man grabbed Bella's chin and brought him face closer. Makes Bella quickly back her head to avoid things she doesn't want.
"What the hell are you!" Bella snapped at the grinning man.
The sound of snapping fingers produced by the man in white made several people in black there come forward.
"Yes, chairman?" They said.
"Take that man to the hospital." He said in a tone of indisputable order.
They bowed for a while, before taking over Sean from Bella, who was now surprised by his attitude.
"There is no more reason for you to refuse my request."
Bella looked at the strange man for a moment. Before heaving a sigh of relief when Sean has received help from his men. As Bella thought, that man was the superior of the group of men earlier.
"Please follow me, sir."
Bella turned around, asking the man to follow her from behind.

"So this is how you welcome guests? Just silent?"
The sarcastic words that the terrible man uttered made Austin, the boss of the Eflic bar quickly looked up. Staring at the man with that with a pitiful gaze.
"Please give me another week, sir." Austin said pleadingly.
Bella doesn't understand what's going on. Suddenly the boss begged the person hopefully. All Bella did was stand by the door, waiting for the two of them to finish talking. Didn't mean to eavesdrop, of course. However, she was simply carrying out the orders of the arrogant man sitting in front of hers boss.
"Another week. That's what you said one week ago," hissed the man. Ignoring Austin's increasingly terrified face.
"I'm going to destroy this bar."
Suddenly, the words of the man made Bella and Austin widened their eyes.
Seriously?!
"No ... no sir. Please don't, this bar is the only best bar in Los Angeles." Austin begged. He was even willing to kneel before the man, still with him full wishes.
"Boss!" shouted Bella. She couldn't bear to see her boss acting like that.
Bella immediately walked over to Austin, begging hers boss to sit back down.
"What did our boss do to make you like that ?!"
The handsome man narrowed his lips. Staring at Bella with a judgmental look.
"Bella ..." Austin said warning the girl to keep her attitude.
A low sigh rang out from the man's thin mouth.
"So her name is ... Bella?" The man grinned viciously.
"Yes ... yes sir." Austin replied. He could feel the terrible thing that was going to happen to Bella once the terrible man found out her name.
"Bella come downstairs." Austin chided the only girl in the room. Not without reason Austin told Bella to come out. He didn't want the young girl to have the things he didn't want.
Bella seemed to want to refuse. However, the meaningful look her boss gave her kept Bella from making a sound.
Austin let out a sigh of relief at the sight.
Bella's hand almost touched the doorknob. Before the baritone sound produced by the man in front of Austin had Austin and Bella froze.
"Who gave you permission to leave?"
Bella froze on the spot, and Austin got cold sweat from his forehead.
"You don't want to know what will happen to your boss what if he dies this second?"
Bella turned around quickly. Staring at the man with a look of disbelief.
"You wouldn't dare." Bella said quietly. To which the man's cruel grin replied.
"Oh? Name a reason I don't dare to kill Austin now."
Bella widened her eyes when she saw the crazy man take out a gun from inside the suit. That's open a toy gun! It really is a firearm. Why does that man have it? As far as Bella Los Angeles knows, it does not allow its citizens to play with firearms carelessly.
So? What's in that guy's hand now?
The reason is only one, that man is not just anyone!
"There are three bullets in this gun. I think that's enough to shoot them into your two heads." The man said sadistically. Of course with a deadly smile etched on his lips.
"Not sir. Let Bella go." Austin tried to shift the man's focus from Bella.
"Shut up. I'm not talking to you."
The man stood up and walked over to Bella, who was now scared to death. Then gently touched Bella's cheek, sending a strange vibration to Bella at that time.
"Sir..."
The man did not answer. Instead, he lowered the sweep of his hand to the back of the chin, then brought it forward right on the man's thin lips.
Muach.
"I'll take Bella with me."
Bella widened her eyes as the man pressed him lips against hers. The kiss was quick before hers head turned to Austin who was also shocked to see the incident before his eyes.Oh no!Bella would be in big trouble if she was by his side.When she realized what had just happened, Bella pushed the man with all her might. However, the man just grieved at Bella's encouragement which was not far from a cat. Weak."Gosh, my first kiss was forcibly taken by this crazy man." Bella said to herself."I'll take Bella with me."Its black bead stared at Austin shaking in his seat."No ... no sir."Austin didn't know what would happen after this. But that is definitely not a good thing.Meanwhile Bella is still standing. Her hand was held tightly by the man who casually stole her first kiss earlier."Let me go!
Bella did not understand where she was going. Stevano remained silent as he accelerated the car, making no sound to break the silence that followed.And Bella couldn't help but ask the man."Where are we going?" asked Bella, her eyes glanced briefly at the man."You will know." The man replied curtly. His eyes are straight on the streets of Los Angeles, which are getting crowded at night. And the cause is people who have just come home from work.The car they were riding in slowed down, then stopped right at the large mansion that stood before their eyes.Dark.That was the first sentence that Bella said to herself. Even though it looks majestic from the outside, the mansion has its own black aura. Like the man beside her.Stevano stared at Bella who did not move and instead was stunned by the large building which was his mansion."C
Bella yawned briefly. Feeling that half of hers soul was still in the dream. The girl grumbled at Stevano's missing figure behind the door. The man was very annoying, even though Bella still wanted to curl up to share warmth with the mattress.There was nothing Bella could do but to obey the host. She was just a little cat that Stevano was lucky to pick up. There is no reason for Bella to argue with the man who has given her the comfort of sleeping in a large, luxurious, and beautiful room.Bella removed the soft blanket that accompanied her to sleep. Then fold the blanket to make it look neat before getting out of bed. And go to the bathroom to carry out hers routine every day.Bella really gasped with the bathroom in her room. She thinks this bathroom is small, when seen from the outside. Apparently not, this is too broad to be used only for oneself.There is a nice made shower in the bathroom. Do not forg
"Let me out, Stev. I won't run away."Stev hissed softly at what Bella had just said. He couldn't believe the girl quickly. In Stev eyes, Bella is a rebellious little cat who wants to escape."No," said the man once again.Bella is speechless. Her lips were closed and locked tight. She could only stare at Stev with pleading eyes."I beg, Stev. You can kill me if I run." Bella grimaced, not quite sure what she had just said.Stev smiled crookedly. "So, I have to search for you painstakingly before I kill you? Do you want to die? I will grant it now." The cruel man grinned happily as Bella's body suddenly trembled. Bella was afraid of the man's threat of course."Poor little cat, you should obey your master's orders if you want to live on," said Stev. He glanced at the dress Bella was wearing. Bella looked prettier in the dress she was now wearing."Plea
Oh, Bella thinks she's going to die right away. Stev stood leaning against the door with his hands folded over his chest. His black eyes stared at Bella, and the man's gaze fell on Bella's two hands that were holding the charger.Bella quickly hid Stev's charger behind her body."I ... I …" Bella stuttered. Don't know what to do when she was caught by that man.Stev walked over. And with in seconds it was in front of that girl. Bella swallowed hard. She walked backwards to distance the man."You little thief. You have to be punished." Bella widened her eyes as Stev forcefully gave her a long kiss, scooping up all of her lips so that Bella couldn't breathe. Bella tried to rebel when the man tried to put his tongue in Bella's mouth.However, their different powers make Bella helpless. Bella only gives in as Stev masterfully dominates their kiss.The kiss lasted a long time
Stev chuckled softly to see the contents of Bella's cellphone gallery which is full of selfies of the girl. There were several friends who were also photographed there. And Stev also saw a black-haired man who had been admitted to the hospital because of his men.Sean.Somehow Stev didn't like the look of Sean's slightly handsome face. Stev rolled his eyes boredom and shifted on the next photo.There is an album there. Bella named it a memory album. And Stev, who could not hold back his curiosity, opened the album.The Album contains a portrait of a young woman about twenty-seven wearing a white dress at the bottom of the beach. The woman smiled at the camera which was capturing pictures for her. One of hers hands grabbed the wrist of a child who was seven years old.The little girl is Bella. Stev can see many similarities between Bella and the child in the photo. And the similarities betw
"Yep. He's our target tonight. Robert Sand, owner of the Xixi company which is currently on the rise. Someone wants him dead so that his company goes out of business. That way our clients will hold the first position in the business. And become the biggest company in Los Angeles." Lucy explainedand Stev nodded knowingly."Business, huh?" muttered Stev. The man grinned cruelly."Why is it the biggest in Los Angeles? We could even bring down the biggest company in the country?" asked Lucy, not understanding."It's all slow, Lucy. People would be surprised if something happened suddenly." Stev snorted, "A sly company that likes to play soft.""He can hire someone else under us to do that. I don't understand why he's willing to pay a fortune and ask us to do it, it's too easy for us. I don't like easy things like that, I like challenges."Stev hissed softly "Isn't that obvious? The
"Are you sure?" said Stev confidently.Bella looked at the man calmly. "Yes! I wouldn't dare to run away from you," said Bella.Stev could see the sincerity in Bella's eyes. The girl is not lying at the moment.Finally Stev gave the girl permission, "All right, but you can't be home later than one o'clock. If you break that, you'll know what the consequences are," said Stev.Bella nodded quickly. The girl looks very happy when Stev gives her permission to meet Sean.Bella turned around. Want to shower and change clothes. However, hers steps stopped when she remembered something.Bella turned around again. Faced Stev, who was now staring at Bella with a raised eyebrow."Why?" asked the man in surprise."Which hospital should I go to? you didn't tell me where the hospital Sean was in."Bella snorted in annoyance. And
"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
