Mr. Stegen: A Man with a Hidden Identity

Closing the Dark Sunscreen of the Past

“What? Your birth mother?” Lilia frowned, after hearing Ludwig's confession about the status of her relationship with Delma. “If she is your mother, why did you call her ‘Delma’?” ask the woman again not to understand.

“Because we've made an agreement. Delma and I covered each other. I told you about who my real mother was, right?” Ludwig who usually does not talk much and is always covered with his life story to anyone, this time looks very light when revealing everything to Lilia. The handsome man gave a little explanation, why he did not call Delma with the name ‘ibu’.

“Good. I can understand it. You'll need some time for that.” Lilia smiled gently. “You know that I live like a kara. If indeed you still feel heavy to call Mrs Delma with the name ‘ibu’, then allow me to start it. Since long ago, I wanted to have a mother.” Lilia's pair of eyes began to tear up.

“I love you, Lilia. You will never be alone again, because I will never leave you,” Ludwig said. He stroked Lilia's cheek. Ludwig kissed his future wife before deciding to go down and enter the boutique earlier.

......................

The day we were waiting for finally arrived. Ludwig stood near the altar with a feeling of trepidation. For this time, he didn't expect any weapons or bloodshed at his wedding. Ludwig had promised in his heart that he would no longer come into contact with the black world. Two years with the predicate of fugitive, is enough to be part of the dark story of his life.

Now, Ludwig just wants to live a normal life. He has several legal companies that are no less profitable, than the illegal business he has ever lived. With the support of the three faithful men, namely Dietmar, Niklas, and Jedrick who never stop giving spirit, Ludwig will rise again to start a new life.

Yes, Ludwig's new life is approaching him. Getting closer, made the feeling of the thirty-three-year-old man become agitated. It was funny, when a Ludwig Stegen felt a crazy pounding that was hard for her to control, as she looked at Lilia who had been standing next to her in an exquisite white wedding dress.

Not like their previous marriage. This time, Lilia could feel pride and confidence while wearing the dream dresses of girls all over the world. Lilia wanted to shed tears, but she was afraid of disappointing the makeup team that had already polished her beautiful face, making it even more charming.

Classical music continues to be heard throughout the party. Completed the blessing ceremony, followed by a relaxing banquet session and various other events. One thing that felt different was when Ludwig saw Oliver Harald and his wife among the guests.

“Preferential guests. How are you, Mr minister?” supa Ludwig. He greeted Oliver, who immediately returned the handshake of the handsome man.

“I have submitted a resignation letter. But, they refused. They say that the eradication of the Schaefer Organization has been done for a long time, but no one can destroy it. Do we deserve to boast?” Oliver, who used to be strict with Ludwig, this time looked much more friendly.

Ludwig smiled wryly in response to the middle-aged man's remark. “That will be the last thing I do. After marriage, I will focus on being a husband,” Ludwig said, glancing at Lilia. “Enjoy the party, Mr. minister.” Ludwig nodded faintly, before leading Lilia away from the couple's presence.

However, just about two steps away from Ludwig and Lilia, Albertina suddenly said, “My daughter sends you a greeting, Mr. Stegen.”

Ludwig was stunned, then turned his head. Not with Lilia.

“Petra is now continuing her education in Finland. I hope, she becomes a girl who can be controlled,” Albertina said again.

While Ludwig was greeting the three men earlier, Lilia approached Delma who was enjoying the party alone. The young woman, who now officially bears Stegen's last name, brought Delma a drink. “Why are you alone, Mistress?” asked Lilia gently.

Delma. The middle-aged woman smiled gently as she received the drink that Lilia offered. “Thank you, Lilia,” he said.

“You have prepared all this very well. Wedding party is the dream of the girls. It's a beautiful party. I should be thanking you,” said Lilia softly. The grey-eyed woman's humility really made Delma feel complacent.

“I already know everything. Ludwig has told me about your relationship,” said Lilia again, which immediately made Delma surprised.

“Lilia, i ..” Delma didn't know what to say. He might feel ashamed of his past, since Ludwig must have said everything to Lilia.

“I asked him to call you ‘ibu’. But Louis still needs time. Be patient, Madam.” Lilia again showed a gentle smile to Delma. The young lady paused for a moment, before revealing what was in her heart. “If you allow, may I call you by the designation ‘ibu’?” lilia asked a little doubtfully.

“Gosh. You don't have to ask permission for that. I would be so happy to have a daughter as beautiful and gentle as you, Lilia. You are the savior angel for my son. Looky. Finally, he decided to get married. That means you are a very special woman to Ludwig.” Delma could not help but hold back tears, as Lilia hugged her.

“Thank you, Mom,” said Lilia accompanied by a sincere smile full of happiness.

Ludwig, who was talking to Dietmar, Niklas and Jedrick, turned his attention to the two women. He stared at them with an indecipherable look. There were no words he could say at the time. Ludwig was confused. However, one is certain that true happiness will soon be auctioned off.

Dark skies have enveloped the city of Berlin. The festive wedding feast had ended, leaving a sense of happiness in the hearts of all who attended it. However, the word happiness alone is not enough to describe what is in the heart of Ludwig and Lilia. The newlyweds are holding a paradise full of flowers.

Under the rushing water of the shower, they re-linked the love that had now become stronger. Ludwig found his gentle side of Lilia. Meanwhile, Lilia became stronger near a Ludwig.
