His mind continued to drift away thinking about the worst possibility that would happen to Clara since he marked Clara and made her pregnant. That created a strong connection between the three of them. Steven's decision to mark Clara as his mate might be considered hasty, he doesn't even know Clara well, and vice versa.But Steven also couldn't lie to himself, as a Don, Steven could easily resist the temptation of the women around him but as an Alpha, he couldn't stop himself from missing the perfect opportunity to be with Clara.After 5 hours of being unconscious, Clara was finally able to open her eyes, her face still looked pale and her gaze was very weak, she scanned the room and realized that she was not in her room or the mansion."Oh Clara, I'm here," Steven said, but when Steven touched her, Clara immediately brushed him off."Don't touch me, how is my baby?" Clara said and touched her stomach."Our baby is fine, so are you, but the doctor asks you to be more careful, and don'
Clara was very happy when she met her mother at that time, she didn't stop holding her mother's hand, she also explained everything that had happened to her mother and it made Diana very shocked and devastated, but seeing her daughter in good condition at that time made Diana grateful.At least Steven didn't commit violence against her daughter, even though she was very disappointed and angry with the man."You look very beautiful Clara, your face is so shining, he seems to treat you well, or is this because of your pregnancy?" Diana said as she stroked her daughter's already visible stomach."Mom, he's not a good man, he kidnapped me, he raped me and made me pregnant like this, he locked me up and made me miss moments with my family, he's a very cruel mafia leader, he's dangerous mom, he can hurt anyone he doesn't like, he's not a good man," Clara said."Clara, you are pregnant and it's not good to talk like that, I'm not defending it at all, but look, I didn't even imagine something
Diana had been living in the big mansion for 3 days, Diana's presence there made many maids and guards confused because Steven was not someone who liked bringing random people into the mansion, even though they all knew who Diana was, she was still someone else to Steven.Since that incident, Steven has become increasingly aware that it seems Clara has changed. Her uncontrollable emotions when she found out about the other woman in Steven's life made him even more convinced that Clara might have feelings for him.Steven was smoking in his room when a call came in on his phone, he didn't know whose number appeared on the phone screen, but he picked up the phone confidently."Hello?" A familiar female voice sounded from the other line.“Steven, are you there? It's me, Angela," Angel said but Steven didn't say anything, he felt angry and disappointed every time he heard that voice."Steven, I know you were there and listened to me, I just want to apologize for everything I've done, I lef
It seemed like someone was trying to light the fire and start a war with Steven. He saw that his factory had been razed to the ground, there was no one left, including the workers who were trapped in the factory when the fire broke out.Steven's assistant, Mark, said that the fire came from the drug raw materials warehouse behind the factory, he also heard repeated explosions that caused the factory to collapse and burn.Mark didn't know what happened in the warehouse at that time because he wasn't there, and hearing all of Mark's explanations made Steven very angry."Find out who did all this, I'm sure someone needs my attention," Steven said and Mark immediately carried out his boss's orders.Steven was returning to his car when he got a call from Leo, a very coincidental call, the old man must have just wanted to talk about his daughter, Jessi."Hello?" Steven said."Where are you?" Leo said."What is it?" Steven said.“Come to my place now, I have something to say,” Leo said."If
The next day Clara woke up from her sleep, she felt that she had slept very soundly that night, she didn't see Steven beside her, but she saw that the curtains were open and sunlight was coming into the room.Clara sat on her bed and not long after, Diana came into her room with a breakfast tray in her hand."Morning sweetheart," Diana said as she approached her daughter in bed.“Oh morning Mom, what are you doing? I can eat at the dining table with you," Clara said."It's okay, I just want to serve my daughter, did you sleep well?" Diana said."Hmm no, I can't sleep well every time I sleep with that man," Clara said and Diana just smiled.“Mom,” Clara said."Yes sweetie," Diana said.“Do you think I can live happily with this baby?” Clara said."What do you mean?" Diana said."I will try to convince him that so we can go back home, he doesn't need to think about this baby and can do everything he hasn’t to do because of me," Clara said.“Aren't there a few good feelings you have for
"Please sir, I wasn't the one who did all this, I don't know anything about the explosion," Mark said, his condition was very bad with his face bruised and his body covered in wounds.He was lying on the cold floor in a dimly lit room, Steven just stood looking at him with a cigarette in his hand which he occasionally puffed on."Tell me who told you to do it and I'll let you go before you die," Steven said."I swear I don't know anything about it, I just got back to the factory and heard the explosion," Mark said.“How did you hear that? The factory is already on fire and you heard the explosion from the warehouse!” Steven said, he knelt in front of Mark and pulled his hair, making Mark look at him with his face covered in blood."Sir, I beg you, I don't know anything about this, I couldn't possibly do it, I couldn't possibly betray you, my mother was alone at home and...aahhhhhh..." Steven burned him with a cigarette right on his cheek, making him scream in pain."Shut up! Don't ope
Since then, Steven has continued to ask his men to look for his mother's whereabouts, he even asked Emily and Larry to do it.Although initially Emily was shocked by Steven's change in attitude towards his mother, she was happy to help Steven."Haven't you received any news about your mother's whereabouts?" Emily said she approached Steven in her backyard."No, it's been a week since Audrey saw her, why is it so hard to see her?” Steven said.“You know what? Erick Bownie was found dead at his home, you know who he is, right? The guy died of a heart attack, Larry told me," Emily said.“So the man is dead? That's good, he deserved it, it's just that I don't like how he died," Steven said."But Larry said he has a daughter, not much different from your age, her name is Katarina, but no one knows where that girl is," Emily said.“Katarina? Does Larry have any data about that girl?" Steven said."He looked for everything he could but he only found that, he didn't have any photos or other i
Bob immediately chased the black van, he also contacted Steven and explained what happened to Clara, he was not alone at that time, he was with his two friends."Hello?" Steven said."Sir, Two men kidnapped Miss Clara, they took her in a black Van, and I'm chasing her," Bob said.“Damn! Why did you let that happen? I ask you to look after her! Give me the van's number plate and I'll be right there," Steven said and he hung up the phone.After hearing what happened to Clara, he immediately rushed away along with the other men. He had asked Bob to watch over Clara and her mother so that something like this didn't happen, but his trust had just been shattered.On the way to Clara's location, suddenly the phone rang, he looked at the phone and it was Larry. That means he might have gotten something about his mother."What?" Steven said."I found her whereabouts, I'm heading to her place now and—""Bring her to my place, I'll see her soon," Steven said."What? Don't you want to pick her up
As days passed, Clara felt that something wasn’t right with Ruby and her life, there was a feeling that she couldn't describe in words. The fear that every night always becomes a nightmare for her. That also seemed to be what Ruby felt, since they returned to Diana's house, there wasn't a single day when Ruby could sleep soundly, even Clara's presence couldn't calm her down.Diana had asked Clara to ask Steven to come because she felt that maybe Ruby missed her father by her side, but Clara immediately refused, she felt that Steven had thrown her out and asked them never to return to the mansion, after all, that was what Clara had wanted for a long time.Clara's presence in the mansion with Steven was only because she was tied to something, Ruby was the reason she was there, she could have reported everything to the police but was she able to put Steven in prison, since she saw how strong Steven was with all the wealth and power he had. Steven could easily eliminate someone and cover
At that time, Steven returned to meet Ray somewhere. He had been waiting for that man for a long time until Ray finally came over to him.“Sorry I'm late,” Ray said."I won't waste any more time, I will help you find Angel," Steven said."Thanks, Steven, I know you will help me find it, what can I do?" Ray said."Tell me who is the person who took advantage of it, you said I know who that person is and he did this on purpose to bait me," Steven said."That's Leo, I'm sure you know that man because Angel once said it and-""What? Leo? Since when did Angel work for him? And…” Steven stopped short when he remembered something Angel said when they met."What is it?" Ray said."Nothing, if it's Leo, then he knows what steps I will take after this, he's like my shadow, he always finds out what my weaknesses are and is ready to stab me in the back," Steven said.“Then what should we do? I'm sure we can't just stay here without certainty like this, I'm sure Angel is definitely in trouble, she
Clara seemed lost in thought in her daughter's bed, many thoughts were bothering her, and she didn't even know why these thoughts felt like they were entangling her, making her space feel tight. Her meeting with Steven was not a good thing, only trauma left a mark on Clara's life regarding Steven.But there was a space in Clara's heart that seemed unable to make her hate the Alpha, the don, that much. Clara looked at her daughter, Ruby. Her sleeping face looked similar to her father's. Even though Clara never wanted to admit it.'Knock..knock..'"Come in," Clara said and Steven was there, Clara could feel the Alpha's presence, but she didn't want to look at him.“Clara, I want to talk to you,” Steven said."What is it?" Clara said.“Come with me for a moment,” Steven said."No, I have to accompany Ruby," Clara said."This is an order, meet me in the reading room now," Steven said and left Ruby's room. His voice sounded serious, she even felt that Steven's attitude was quite cold towar
Clara woke up that morning from her deep sleep, she could feel a warmth in her body that she rarely felt in the morning, a warmth that made her very comfortable, Clara didn't feel like opening her eyes that morning, she wanted to continue sleeping and enjoy her morning for a long time.But when she realized that the warmth she was getting was not from the morning sun entering her room, her eyes immediately opened and found Steven's face who was nearby. She could even feel the warm breath of the Alpha who was sleeping next to her.Clara's initial reaction should have been to push Steven's body away from her and shout at him but what Clara did was the opposite. She also didn't understand what was happening to her body, but being in Steven's arms was the most comfortable thing she felt. She found her body calm and peaceful as if all the problems in her life had just disappeared.Clara just stared straight at the Alpha who was still asleep at that time, she noticed the curves of his face,
When Steven arrived at Audrey's apartment he immediately went in and found the place empty, which was strange because Audrey always lived there, he also had no reason to leave that place. But Steven didn't find any trace of Audrey there.Steven immediately contacted Larry to check Audrey's location from her number. He believed Audrey might be hiding something that Steven had never known before."Find him right now, give me his location," Steven said.“He was there, his location indicated he was in that apartment,” Larry said."What? "This apartment is empty, there's nothing here," Steven said."Check the whole room, maybe he left something behind, a phone or a clock or something suspicious," Larry said.Steven then went throughout the room with the help of his men, and one of his men managed to find an alarm clock that had been left in the room.“Sir, I found something,” Pria said."He left the alarm clock in the room," Steven said.“As I thought, he must have put his card on that watc
Day after day passed, and she didn't realize that Ruby was now 2 months old, which meant it had been two months since Clara became a mother, she still didn't expect that she would give birth to a daughter so soon in her life, with a strange man she didn't know before.Even so, Clara was still happy to see Ruby's beautiful face in front of her. Every day Clara only played with her daughter, she spent time in Ruby's room, and she even had very little time out of that room.This made Steven a little annoyed because it was difficult for him to talk to Clara, even though he knew Clara was just an ordinary human who wouldn't be able to feel anything when she was away from him, but now she had become a part of him.That night, after dinner, Clara returned to Ruby's room, but she saw Steven already there and holding their daughter by the window. Clara was silent for a moment before she decided to approach Steven and Ruby."What are you doing here?" Clara said."What do you mean? Am I not allo
Clara woke up from her sleep when she realized something wet was flowing out of her legs, she immediately sat up and thought she had wet the bed.But more and more water came out and made her panic. She immediately called Steven because that was the only name in her head, but when the door opened she only saw Eva running towards her on the bed and was very surprised to see the mattress which was already wet.“Miss Clara, what happened? I'll ask Bob to prepare a car to go to the hospital, and contact Mr. Steven," Eva said and immediately left.While Clara was still panicking about the water that kept coming out to wet her, she was suddenly shocked by the excruciating pain in her stomach and waist.Clara kept screaming while calling Steven's name, she tried to stand up and look for the Alpha but she was too weak to walk, with her feet wet, Clara kept holding her stomach, she looked very pale.But when she almost reached the door and tried to open it, the door opened and Steven was there
Soon, Clara gave birth, her belly was getting bigger and Clara was having more and more difficulty carrying out activities, she returned to the mansion because of her wishes, and her mother also asked her to stay there until she gave birth because Clara's condition worsened every time she was away from Steven."Where are you going, Steven?" Clara said as Steven came out of the bathroom."I have a meeting, I'll be right back," Steven said and kissed Clara's forehead, who was still sitting leaning against the bed but Clara held him."No, please stay here," Clara said."Clara, I have to go, I'm running late," Steven said."Steven, the time for the baby's birth is getting closer and I'm scared, please just stay here," Clara said and Steven sat on the bed facing her."Don't be afraid, I'm here," Steven said.“If I die, can you take care of my mother too?” Clara said."What do you mean? You won't die without me," Steven said."I know but if I die, please take care of my mother too," Clara s
Steven returned to his mansion, preparing to meet the woman who had left him and his father, leaving them devastated by the loss of the person they loved.Steven's thoughts wandered far away, he didn't know what he should say or do when he met his mother. But what he knows for sure is that he is not alone. When his father died, he lost the figure he loved so much.After his car entered the gate, he saw Larry's car parked there, his life was very unexpected, he met Clara and now he was reunited with his mother.His feet entered the door and he was greeted by Eva who at that time helped him carry his coat and took him to the private living room, where Steven met important people.Outside the door, Steven stopped in his tracks, he asked Eva to leave him and took a deep breath before finally going inside and meeting Larry and a woman who was sitting with her back to him."There he is," Larry said and the woman slowly turned around and smiled when she saw Steven growing so well in front of
