"Be careful on your way, Bella!" said Freya. The girl waved at Bella with a sweet smile on her lips.
Meanwhile Bella only nodded briefly at the girl. She then came out of Jenjay with the sky that had changed color to yellowish color.
When she was walking, suddenly a cute little boy approached her with a flower basket hanging from the child's arm.
"Sister, buy this flower, this is perfect with my beautiful sister," said the little girl as she handed a lily to Bella while smiling her adorable smile.
Bella was rooted to the spot. She did not expect that the little girl was selling flowers alone here. Without someone to support her. Isn't that little child afraid of being kidnapped or lost?
"Beautiful flowers, I'll buy a few stalks," Bella replied. She crouched down, equalizing hers height with the little girl's height.
While the little girl suddenly
"No need, sis. Sister will come home late later, I can go home alone," replied the little girl. She convinced Bella who seemed eager to take her home. "Are you sure?" asked Bella again. And the little girl nodded quickly as she walked away leaving Bella alone. "Bye-bye!" said the little girl as she waved her hand at Bella. And Bella just watched the little girl leave with a faint smile etched on her lips. . . . Bella frowned when she saw only Lucy in this room. "Where are the two best friends of yours?" Bella asked as she walked inside. Meanwhile Lucy just snorted softly at Bella's question. "Do you mean the two of them or just Stev?" asked Lucy. The man was a little unsure if Bella was really asking where Ellen was. &n
Stev raised an eyebrow when he saw Bella stop in hers tracks. The girl seemed hesitant to step into Ellen's room. So, all it did was stay where it stood. "You don't want to come in?" asked Stev. The man approached Bella with wide footsteps. "Will she let me in there?" asked Bella. The girl wasn't sure if Ellen would be okay and accepted her. The woman would have immediately kicked Bella out when Bella only stepped into her room once. Meanwhile Stev only shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. "I don't know. Maybe so, maybe not. Didn't you say you wanted to go to hers room yourself?" asked Stev. And there was nothing Bella could do other than just sighed softly and nodded. "Very well," replied the woman confidently. Yes, at least she should try first. And if Ellen threw her out, Bella could only comply with her request. "You go
"Lucy went to a wild race, and Ellen was sick," said Stev again. The man could tell from Bella's words. If that woman will not accept his invitation. "Then? You're going to leave Ellen here alone?" Really, the woman had no idea what Stev was going through in him mind. The man is very easy to say without thinking about anything else first. The handsome man replied to Bella's words with a light grunt "Lucy will be back tomorrow. We're leaving early in the morning. By helicopter," Stev replied. Let Bella curl her lips in disbelief. "What? Don't tell me you've never been on a helicopter," said Stev, who turned out to be right to Bella. The girl had never been on a helicopter, but she had seen the flying object. "I've never," said Bella, chuckling softly. And Stev just grieved at her words. "Poor brat." "Ts
Stev sighed softly when the man saw Bella still lying on the bed comfortably. Without knowing if he had looked fully at the woman for more than ten minutes. He looked at the clock on his big wrist. And it was still half past five in the morning, and Stev was already dressed in his neat clothes. He darted into Bella's room without asking, and with a quick movement of his hand opened the blanket Bella was wearing, making the girl shiver with cold. "Get up," Stev said to the woman. And instead of getting up, Bella turned her back to Stev with her arms continuing to grapple where the blanket was. "Get up or I'll eat you right now," said Stev again. And strangely, Bella immediately opened her eyes. The girl seemed to hear Stev's voice in her room. Bella thought it must be a dream. She didn't bother with this and closed hers eyes again, hers body so tired because she slept to
Meanwhile Ellen just grinned softly. "I don't want her to stay here," said the woman. And Lucy raised an absurd eyebrow. "You want to kick Bella out?" asked Lucy. And Ellen chuckled when she heard what the man just said. "Yes," Ellen replied. "Forget it. You'll never be able to throw her out while Stev wants her, "said Lucy. He thought Ellen was ridiculous. She would have dared to drive someone who Stev carried with him own two hands. "Don't you want to help me?" The man let out a little cry. Help Ellen? Seriously! "That's your business. I don't want to confront Stev because of you," the man replied coolly. "You coward," said Ellen again. Hoping that what she said just now can make Lucy provoke emotion and follow her wishes because he doesn't accept being said to be cowardly. "Th
Bella quickly distanced herself from Stev. The woman looked at the man warily. Just in case this man dared to mess with her. "What the hell are you," Bella said irritably. The woman took the glass that was served by one of the servants here. "You haven't answered my question," said Stev. Makes Bella, who was drinking, look at Stev with a questioning gaze. "What?" asked the woman. And Stev just sighed softly. He was too lazy to repeat his words. But this time it seemed like he had to go back to tell Bella. Her mind walked like a snail, very slowly. "You don't want to ask why I brought you here?" asked Stev. And Bella, who realized that Stev had said that, only sighed softly. "Should I ask such a question?" the woman did not reply to Stev's words and instead asked her questions. Stev couldn't believe Bella would say that. Even though that woman alwa
The man let Bella see a scene that lay wide in front of them. "Is this for real?" Bella asked as she closed her mouth in disbelief. Hers two eyes stared in amazement at what lay before her. The view of the lake water is green and clear. Just like the color of the two eyeballs. Equally shady for anyone who sees it. "Of course this is real. Why do you look so shocked? Isn't this a very common thing?" sneered Stev. The man snorted as Bella was a little amazed by what he had. And that only makes Bella look even more poor in the eyes of Stev. However, it seemed that the woman didn't care. “What is so ordinary? This is truly extraordinary! I know that this mansion is so bigbut I didn't expect there would be a lake this wide behind the mansion." Bella replied to Stev's words with a soft sneer. "Do you want to swim?" asked Stev. And Bella immediately turned to the man.
Bella gasps. Hers breathing was irregular with the body constantly shaking. "Get me out of here, Stev," the woman pleaded. She kept embracing the man's neck in fear that she would drown and end up tragically here. "You're not going to die here," said Stev in a low chuckle. The man seemed to be both calming and mocking Bella. Stev could see fear radiating clearly from the two beautiful eyes he was staring at. "You're not going to let me go, are you?" said the woman. And Stev just nodded with a soft sigh. The man brought Bella back to the mainland. He sat the woman on a long strong wood which was at the bottom of the lake. And Bella just breathed a sigh of relief as she survived her worries. "Thank you, Stev," said the woman. Bella also felt strange about herself. Even though it was the man who brought herself to jump into the lake, but instead she
"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
