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.
"Come down," said the man.
And Bella descended after Stevano. Bella tailed the man like a kitten to her mother.
The man slowly opened the door that became the barrier between the outside and the inside. Bella, who had been behind Stevano, gasped. Not what Bella expected. The mansion contains expensive and beautiful objects. A stark contrast to the view of this mansion from outside. Maybe this is what it's called, don't judge a book by its cover. But this is truly extraordinary, even Bella thinks this is not just an ordinary mansion. However the palace.
"It's beautiful." Bella said without realizing it. Hers eyes were flowing, looking at the contents of the mansion with a look of admiration.
While Stevano only glanced at the girl. Let Bella observe the contents of him mansion for now.
"Yo, Stev!"
Suddenly someone with spiky hair appeared from the kitchen. Greet Stevano with a low punch. One of the man's hands held a glass of wine that was only half the contents.
Stevano didn't answer, he just looked lazily at the spiky man in front of him.
"Woah, your new toy?" The spiky-haired man looked at Bella who was standing behind Stevano.
Bella bit her lower lip lightly.
What does this spiky guy mean? why does she feel it's not a good thing?
"Are you done?" Stevano asked the spiky man. Not answering the question that the spiky man asked.
"Of course," replied the man.
Bella couldn't understand what the two of them were talking about. So, all Bella is doing right now is being a good listener who doesn't know the storyline.
"Good," said Stevano. He stared with satisfaction at the results of the spiky man.
Suddenly, the spiky man was beside Bella in seconds. Made Bella gasp at the man's speed.
"Hi. Let me introduce you, I'm Lucy. Stevano's friend the flat man. What's your name, Miss Sweet?" asked the spiky man who introduced him name as Lucy.
"I ... Bella." Bella replied softly.
"Bella ... a beautiful name, like you."
Bella didn't take Lucy seriously. Because all men in this world think the same. Likes to tease girls for a specific purpose.
"Where did you meet Stev?" asked Lucy.
And Bella didn't answer the spiky-haired man's question when Stevano beckoned her to follow.
Bella exhaled softly. Before following Stevano up the upper floor which was connected by a circular staircase.
There are two rooms on the top floor. Of which the other became Stevano's.
Stevano pointed with his chin at one of the upstairs rooms.
"That's your room," informed Stevano. And Bella thanked the man. It turned out that Stevano was not as terrible as Bella had imagined.
"Thank you very much, sir." Bella lowered her body a little
Meanwhile, the man looked at Bella with furrowed brows. "What are you calling me?" His voice was normal, cold and flat.
Bella looked up at the man in front of her. "Sir, why?" Bella asked, looking confused.
Stevano snorted loudly. Stared at Bella intensely. "Call me Stev, you're not deaf when Lucy calls my name."
Bella snorted to herself. Just now she was praising the man. Now she was blown away at the painful words that came out of Stevano's cruel mouth.
"Yes, Mr. Stevano."

Bella enters the room that has been reserved for her. She gasped to see the contents of the room that would be hers place to unwind. The room is so spacious, and also beautiful. Very much different from hers where there is no half of this room.
Why is that man so kind? Let Bella sleep with a large bed which has a soft king size mattress. Bella is sure, her sleep tonight will be the deepest sleep in her entire life.
There is a private bathroom in this room. And also a large red sofa beside the bed.
Bella smiled to herself. Even though the man was cold and seemed cruel. But Bella can't deny the fact that the man is so handsome, and also kind, maybe?
Bella no longer thinks anywhere after drifting into the warmth on the bed.
Oh, even the blanket is really fluffy.
And without Bella knowing it, her eyes have closed to end today's activity. Her mind flew away in a beautiful dream.
And Bella's beautiful eyes that always stare at the shade. It will open again when tomorrow's sun begins to come and reveal its rays to decorate the earth. Turning all existing creatures.
.
.
.
Bella gasped, when she opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was Stevano sitting on the sofa with a straight look at her without blinking.
Bella cleared her throat for a moment. Shaking off the embarrassment when Stevano didn't immediately take his eyes off her.
"Good morning sir ... Stevano." Bella stammered. She couldn't help herself with the sharp gaze the man gave.
"Hn." Stevano replied. His eyes were still staring straight at Bella who was also staring at him.
Their eyes met, for a little while.
Bella swallowed unconsciously, a little fascinated by the handsome face that had been carved beautifully on Stevano.
"Why are you here?"
"Stev.” The man said quickly. And Bella immediately realized what she had just said.
"Why are you here, Stev?" Now Bella threw away her formal taste. Because she believed Stevano was not far from hers age. Two years, maybe?
Meanwhile Stevano was still staring flatly at Bella. One eyebrow lightly raised, giving Bella a question in reply.
"This is my house, i'm free to be anywhere, including on the bed you're currently using." The man grinned as Bella's face started to heat up, then flushed. Stev can guess that the woman must have been thinking things.
Bella shook her head quickly. Throwing away other thoughts that suddenly stopped in hers head.
And Bella breathed a sigh of relief, as Stevano rose and walked away from hers, toward the door.
"Come down. And don't get in the habit of getting up late. You stupid girl," said Stevano, sounding like an order.
Stevano thought he had just disciplined a little girl who was just walking.
And Bella watched the man leave with an irritated grunt. Bella would pick up the words that Stevano was a good man.
He is the worst man Bella has ever met.
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
Is this really where Sean was treated? Bella didn't expect Sean to be in the VIP room. Even though, as far as Bella knows. The VIP room at the rose hospital was very elite and prestigious. Only rich people can enter this room.Bella did not want to dissolve in her admiration. The girl quickly searched the room with the door number seven. After finding it, Bella slowly opened the door. And found Sean sitting with Kylie who accompanied him."Oh, look who's here," said Sean with a happy. The pain on the man's face had not completely healed."Bella!" Kylie stood up and quickly ran to scatter on Bella who had just come."I thought I would never see you again." Kylie wiped her tears that were starting to come out."I'm not going anywhere," Bella said comforting the girl."Hi, Sean. How are you? Sorry, I can only visit you now." Bella said with great regret.
"You're on time, smart girl," said Stev as Bella opened the door to the mansion.The man is holding a glass filled with vodka. Shake the contents of the glass briefly before drinking.Bella chuckled irritably. "Geez! your crazy dog is really annoying. I was chased by them when I entered the gate earlier, fortunately I was able to escape." Bella snorted in annoyance.Bella then walks towards Stev. And sat on the sofa next to the man. Then took off Stev's jacket which she used to cover hers sexy body."Here, I'll return it." Bella hands the jacket to Stev, who is now looking odd."You don't want to thank me?"Bella snorted loudly. "I don't really want to wear it." Bella turned away from Stev and folded her arms over her chest."You're starting to be brave, so I need to punish you so you can obey me?"Stev put the glass in his hand on
