Stella woke up at six o'clock in the morning as usual. Even though she only slept for a few hours, but when it's time to wake up, her body clock would just work perfectly.The tall figure lying on his side close to her back, putting his arm around her waist, his face tucked at her neck. She moved a little which made the other person move a little, too."What time?" Asked the drowsy voice."Six o'clock." She replied. The same time when she woke up yesterday. He slowly opened his eyes. He just slept not long ago. He tightened his hug and kissed on her shoulder then closed his eyes again."You can sleep a little longer. I'll wake you up later. "She said when she turned and saw his sleepy posture. Understood that he had not slept for long. She was also sleepy. But she must take Summer to the toilet. She knew after taking a shower and with a big cup of coffee, the dozy symptoms would be gone."I want another hour...Hm..."He muttered. She smiled a little, stared at his handsome face while
Then she heard the sound of Ben and James opening the door."Good morning, Ben James. Would you like some coffee?"Stella shouted from the kitchen to the bodyguards who were at the front door."Good morning, Miss, thanks very much but we can manage it ourselves. " James said.The two walked to the office to see if the big boss there but they didn't see him so the bodyguards walked to the amazing balcony garden."Do you think the boss slept last night?"Ben asked James in a whispering tone. They stared at the big body of the boss, swimming back and forth. The boss was strong and good at swimming. He was a champion when he was at the university in England."Waking up to swim like this, probably have had enough sleep."James guessed. He bent down and patted Summer's small head. But Summer didn't care to greet, he still sat and nibbling the bone."Or...he hurried to get up to follow his love because he can't stay away from her for a second."Ben whispered. Both knew that when the boss wen
Stella put a cup of coffee in front of the boss."Here's your coffee. What else do you want me to do for you?"She asked and placed the coffee on the kitchen counter in front of him. Not sure what he wanted."I said that I would take the girl to bed. What would you say?"The original question, but because he didn't like the answer so he asked again.Stella crossed her arms. She stared at the handsome face. He lifted the coffee cup and sipped it. His eyes stared back at her, waiting for the answer."Why do you ask me? Since when I'm important to you, so you want to hear my opinion like this? "Stella asked plainly. Leonard stopped his hand, holding the coffee cup in the air. His brain immediately reviewed her question.Saw her important? And since when ...?Oh, no. It's not like that ... He didn't see her important or anything. But just asking because he wanted to know. That's all!It was because Leonard usually could read people's mind but he couldn't read hers, she was good at hiding
They reached the parking floor, Ben went to the car and drove it to the front of the elevator. James opened the door for the boss and HIS FAMILY.Then Leo mobile phone made a sound. He picked it up and his face frowned when seeing the name showed on the phone screen."What's up?"The low and harsh voice asked straight out, didn't sound very friendly so Ben was still parking and waiting for the order. This tone, the bodyguards could guess that it was for a specific person. And it wasn't anybody but the boss's number-one enemy."You! Son of a bitch! You so dared to mess with me, Leo!"Bernardo's angry voice came through the phone. Leo lifted his eyebrow in a surprising gesture for such a bad manner."What the fuck you are barking about, Birdie?!" Leo snapped back immediately. How dare this bastard to ring to ruin his morning like this!He felt angry at his enemy straight away. The bastard was saying insulting allegation to him without him knowing the cause. What the heck was going on?!
Her smooth voice and calm posture causing the two godfathers to stare at the beautiful face of the speaker. When nobody said anything. Stella continued."I know that you guys want to jump and bite each other's neck first and do the talking later. If your blood isn't released, the brain doesn't work properly. "She preached the two godfathers, who were standing and listening to her. Giving all the followers a surprise she could just do that."Wow, now I know why you are so crazy about her."Bernardo said bluntly making Leo frowned and Stella blushed."Stella, come to stay with me. I assure you that I will take the best care of you with my very best gentleman manners and it SURE will be better than Leo."Bernardo offered her just to try Leo. He always had fun to see his enemy went mad which it worked as Leo quickly launched himself at Bernardo but Stella quickly grabbed his arm again."You! Son of a bitch! Don't you dare to say anything like that again, or I will burn all your pubs down
The car stopped at the front of the private parking lot under the Grand MC hotel. James hurried to get off the car and open the door for the boss and his lady. Seeing that the boss was walking unsteadily, so James hurried to help but the boss sent him the daggered glare that made James put the brake on his feet and understood immediately.James turned to Stella, she was carrying Summer in her arms."I can take Summer, Miss."James said. Stella saw that Leo wasn't quite steady so she passed the puppy to James and stepped to help by putting her arm around his waist."Are you really that bad?" Stella asked with concern in her voice."Yeah, like hell. My legs are sore, I'm in pain all over now." The injured boss answered, put his arm around her shoulder and leaned to her for support. Stella helped him to walk to the elevator.Ben parked the car then walked beside James. He whispered to his partner when the boss still turned his back to them."Man, I think the boss intends to sweep both th
Stella ran into the bathroom then she had to put the brake on when seeing the tall figure standing facing the wall letting the water falling on his body. She tried to ignore his naked body, went to stand near him."Are you alright? What happened?" She asked with concern."It so damn hurts. I think the water making me bleed."He said and turned his face to look at her. She looked at the water. It was slightly red. How come this mafia god didn't know that the water didn't make him bleed but he already bled from his scratching wounds. She was suspicious that he might be fooling around with her but when seeing him look so poorly like this, she just didn't want to shout at him."Did you have a fall?"She asked to make sure because she heard the sound something fell to hit the floor. He glanced at the big bottle of the shampoo. It was slipped from his hand and hit the floor quite loud.He stared into her worried eyes. Her face was pale. Her hands were on his back and she didn't even notice
Stella glanced at the tall man. Saw him looked at the ceiling like he was thinking something in his head."Do you often fight?"She asked with curiosity. The soft hands rubbed the cream gently on the red marks."Don't know. I've never counted."He answered. It was normal for people in this type of business. In fact, his business didn't do anything illegal. The MC enterprise was doing business under US laws. Finance, banking and insurance company, everything was right. But for the Quick loan which he had operated on his spare time, it may be in a little gray area as its interest was a bit higher than usual.But both parties, debtors and creditors, were satisfied with deals and agreements before signing the contract. Leo never forced anybody to come to him. But people who were in need of quick cash in this area knew that he was a fair businessman.Everyone came to him willingly. If the debtors had good credit, never missed a payment, they would be allowed to continue borrowing money fro
When Stella was due to give birth, Leonard took her to the private hospital. He was with her all the time in the delivery room, supporting his beloved wife. Until when he saw the baby came out in front of his eyes. Leo felt so overwhelmed with happiness to witness and being with her in every step of the baby's natural vaginal delivery. The doctor and nurses did what they had to do according to the procedures in the delivery room.Later on, Stella was transferred to a VIP room. The little baby had perfect health, weighed 7.5lb. He could cry very loudly as though he was trying to announce his coming on earth to everyone to know. "Very good. That's my son! You must be loud and clear just like your father." The new father was very pleased with his baby. He was standing and looking at him in the cradle. Stella was looking at the tall handsome man who never left the baby's side yet since they had arrived in the room.He looked up at her then walked to sit on the bed beside her and bend d
That night, everything went well. The party had finished at midnight. In the penthouse, Stella stood in front of the mirror. Leonard came to embrace her from behind and planted a kiss on her shoulder. They looked at each other in the mirror. He lifted her left hand up with his. They were wearing wedding rings. He smiled happily while looking at their joined hands. "Do you like the ring?" He asked, raised her hand to kiss. His heart was overwhelming with happiness. They were really married and their hearts were united as one now. "Yes. I love it, especially the message." Stella answered. His ring was engraved 'Forever Wine' on it. And hers had 'Forever Leo' on it. He reached out to rub her belly gently. "Hey, baby. Your mummy and daddy are now married. Are you happy? I love you so much and I can't wait to see you." He said softly while caressing her stomach gently. Stella smiled. He was so adorable when he was talking to the baby like this. Leo turned her to face him. "From now
"You don't have to put your nose in my personal business and worry about me. Just pay attention to your own stuff. Mine is well taken care of."James said and lifted the glass to sip. Ben laughed in his throat."Really? I am glad to hear that. But let me know if you need my help. Looking at your slow motion I don't know how many more New Year's Eve to count down for you to get your own Eve."Ben was teasing his slow friend."Hey! Have you ever heard the saying...Slow but sure? A good man won't take advantage of the woman he cares for." James responded. "Wow, since when you become a gentleman?"Ben pretended to make a shocked look."Well, when you meet the right one, you will understand, man. And stop barking. It's time to count down now."James said. Then the boss raised his glass up."Ready everyone? Let's do it!"10... 9... 8...7...6...5...4...3...1...Happy New Year!Then the boss pulled his missy to kiss to celebrate their new year and more happy moments to come.Two weeks after
Stella kept herself warm with a thick and soft sweater, coat and scarf. She wore black jeans and boots. All that was because Leo had to make sure she was not going to get cold. The square and shopping center was crowded, full of shoppers. People were walking and rushing like armies of ants, their hands were full of bags. The big Christmas trees, the lights, and all decorations made the atmosphere look exciting and made people feel joy in their hearts, ready for the special time of the year.Stella walked hand in hand with Leo having Ben and James followed."Don't walk too fast, you might stumble. And I don't want people to walk into you." Leo said. Stella smiled at him and nodded just to give him peace of mind."I think you should go and sit down at the coffee shop. Let me do the shopping. It looks crazy and I don't feel like seeing you walking here and risking to be knocked down."Leo said when he saw that there were too many people. He decided to take Stella to the nearest coffee
"Yes, they are. But I have put them nice and tidy in the drawer for five times already and you keep taking them out like this, um..."She was teasing him. Leo shrugged and ignored her words.Ben and James were laughing silently, so amused to see their big boss being crazy around the baby's cute stuff. It had been a week since the boss found his missy and brought her home. Now they understood each other and being so sweet to one another. "Wine, don't walk too quickly, you're gonna fall."The sentence Ben and James had heard a lot recently. The boss warned his missy every time when she lifted her feet from A to B which was only in the penthouse and it was a very safe area."I am very careful here, don't worry."She said and lifting Summer's toy basket up. Leo hurried to take it."Don't lift it. Why are you so stubborn? How many times do I have to tell you not to carry any heavy things?"He scolded. Stella looked at the man who carried Summer's basket and picked the puppy's toys up from
After eating, they returned to the room at 1 a.m. Leo carried his small suitcase which he always had in his car just in case.They brushed their teeth and changed clothes and jumped into bed and snuggled together. The weather was cold outside but warm inside just like their hearts right now, warm and filled with love. "I missed you so so much."He said and kissed her gently. Stella put her arms around his neck and kissed him back. They were telling each other by using the action to show their love to one another until the room was filled with the heat from the love telling process."I couldn't eat or sleep. Without you, life isn't the same for me. "The deep gentle voice whispered. The big hands removed all his and her clothes and finally naked.He touched and kissed her until she felt her body become hot from the heat of desire."Me too." She whispered back to him. They caressed one another until their breathing had become faster. Leo kissed on her neck and licked her nipples. He s
Stella lifted her face up to look at him."Let's get inside."She said and pulled him into the room and closed the door."How did you find me?"She asked, walked to sit down on the edge of the bed. Leo followed and sat beside her."Summer."He answered. She nodded to acknowledge as Summer had a tracking device on him. She looked down at her hands. He pulled her into his arms again. She leaned her face on his wide chest. He put his chin on her head."Why did you run away from me? I worried to death that you might be in danger and get hurt."His voice shook when asked. Stella bit her lower lip, trying not to cry."I am just stupid. I don't know what I was thinking. I am sorry to make you worried."She said with a sober voice, the tears started to flow out again. Having seen him like this, she was happy but hurt by the memory buried in her heart for a long time. Leo pressed the chin on her head."I understand."He said gently, his hands touching her back to soothe her.Leo felt relieved
Leo drove to the apartment parking lot. He was hoping she was here. Somebody opened the door and he followed then he went up to her apartment and was pressing the bell. But nobody answered. So he was sitting on the floor in front of her room.Leo called James to asked if she came back home yet but the answer was no. He kept calling her and left messages. Time had passed slowly than ever for Leo. He called Sam and Sophia in case she decided to join them but they did not know and now they were worried, too.Leo believed she would be here so he was sitting leaning against her room's wall. He was awake until three o'clock then he fell asleep. Leo woke up about five. He rang the bell in case she came and sneaked in while he was sleeping but no response. He went down and asked the security there. The guy said he had not seen her come."Where are you, Wine?"Leo was so worried and stressed. The weather was very cold and she had not taken her medication and supplements with her.Where did she
Stella told the taxi driver that she wanted to stop at the supermarket on the way to the apartment. There was a place that allowed small pets to go in with their owners.She wanted to buy a few things, milk and coffee for example.When being outside like this, she felt lonely. She missed him because of the habit that he had always been with her by her side. Why did she let the silly emotions attack her like this? The feelings of jealousy and painful memory. She should not let it hurt her at all. As it was not the present. It was the past and it's long gone."Oh ... I'm sorry."Stella hurried to apologize when her trolley accidentally bumped into the back of an American woman."It's okay. No worries."She turned to said to Stella and she was staring at her for a second. "Um ... Are you Thai?"She asked. Stella nodded and gave her a smile."Yes. I am. How did you know?"She was surprised that the lady could point out."Well, I am an American-Thai.""Realy? Wow! I am Stella Willaiwan,
