Mr. Stegen: A Man with a Hidden Identity

Secret Meeting

Ludwig stood up from his seat. He walked over to Lilia who had already returned near the bed. “Are you okay?” ask the handsome man with ash grey hair.

Lilia smiled gently. “Rest, Heinz. I'll also continue to sleep, unless you want to tell me about what happened tonight. I'll listen.” Lilia did not answer Ludwig's question.

Ludwig looked at the gray-eyed beautiful woman with an elusive highlight. A moment later, the man got into bed. “I also want to rest. Good night.” He turned off the sleeping lights that were on the table, so the atmosphere became dim.

There was no reason for Lilia to stay awake. After all, he was also very tired. The beautiful brunette was lying next to Ludwig. “You don't want to sleep while hugging me?” tanyanya while looking at the husband, in the dimness of the room atmosphere.

Ludwig fell silent, then turned his head. He looked at Lilia for a moment. ‘Come,” he said.

Lilia shifted her body until she docked to Ludwig. Unlike the back nights, this time he felt a different kind of warmth. Lilia was so comfortable in the arms of the handsome German man. “I hope, tomorrow you are willing to say something to me,” said the owner of the gray eyes, while rubbing the surface of her husband's chest.

“About what?” ask Ludwig. He closed his eyes. Ludwig felt so tired.

“About what happened tonight,” replied Lilia. “I've become your wife. That means, I deserve to know about everything that happened to you.” Lilia sounded hopeful.

He never knew that Ludwig had married her for the security she needed on the run this time.

Ludwig did not answer. The handsome man just muttered softly, then exhaled deeply. Silence was enthroned in the dim room earlier. There was no longer a light conversation between the two of them, because Ludwig was already asleep.

Lilia looked up to make sure. The young woman exhaled softly, after seeing that Ludwig's pair of eyes had been tightly closed. She chose to do the same as her husband.

The two lovebirds were asleep in their sleep. Lilia, who was still in Ludwig's arms, opened her eyes when she heard the sounds of the servants' activities. “Good morning,” greetings in a raucous voice.

“Good morning,” reply Ludwig while squinting. “What time is it now?” tanyakanya.

“Now it's only seven hours,” replied Lilia. He broke away from Ludwig's decapitation. They slept in such a position for about three hours.

Ludwig gasped after hearing the reply from Lilia. He got up, then got out of bed.

“You why?” ask Lilia astonished.

“I have to go to the farm immediately,” replied Ludwig. He rushed into the bathroom.

Lilia simply knitted her brows. The beautiful woman followed her husband. The woman immediately positioned herself under the shower. He was ready to take a shower.

Meanwhile, Ludwig was brushing his teeth in front of the sink. The thirty-two-year-old man's consensus became sidetracked, when he heard the sound of water gurgling profusely from the shower. However, that is not the concern of the owner of the gray ash hair. Ludwig's gaze, locked on the already wet beautiful body under the water splash.

Ludwig immediately rinsed, then put the toothbrush in the place that has been prepared. He who had no intention of taking a bath, undo it after seeing the incredible scenery that he loved to miss. Ludwig chose to join in, enjoying the roar of refreshing water that soaked his lips and Lilia's lips, as they kissed affectionately.

Interactions between Ludwig and Lilia were common. Sometimes, they look like a warm husband and wife and look normal. However, not infrequently Ludwig behaved as necessary. Including Gunther, the father-in-law. Ludwig remained ordinary. He still looked mysterious to the middle-aged man.

Such a thing continued until less than a month. One day Ludwig awoke, when the watch he had kept in the drawer sounded. “It's time,” muttered the man while looking at the wall clock showing at 22:30. Ludwig rushed down from the bed. He was wearing a jacket and jeans. Before deciding to leave the room, the man had a chance to see Lilia who was sleeping under the blanket.

“Sleep well,” said Ludwig quietly, before he opened the door and stepped out. Ludwig made sure that no one was following him this time, as he walked away from the ranch area.

Moments later, Ludwig stopped his steps near a tall tower-shaped building with a taper end. There, there was already someone waiting for his arrival. A man who immediately looks crisp, when he sees his presence there.

“How are you, Mister?” greet the man.

“I'm fine, Niklas,” replied Ludwig with a casual look. “What important news will you tell me?” tanyakanya.

“First, our organization is still being monitored by the government. They don't let any movement. It makes it very difficult for us who have to survive,” explained Niklas.

“Second, about the reshuffle of the cabinet in the government. General Inre Harald's son, Oliver, has served as the new defense minister. If only you could lobby that guy, I guess we could revive the organization that had been frozen for a long time.” Niklas took out a pack of cigarettes, and he offered it to Ludwig who immediately took a stick. Niklas even helped ignite the cigarette earlier, to emit a thin smoke.

“You're right. I couldn't stand going back to Germany either. It feels very boring to live life like this,”, Ludwig said as he reflected smoke from the mouth. “However, before that I should be able to revoke the fugitive status they pinned on my name,” he said again.

“Ya, you are right. Indeed, Mr. Dietmar has done very well. However, the influence it has is not as great as you, Mister."

Ludwig exhaled a rough breath. “I have also not found a bright spot,” lamented.

“Then, where are your destinations after from here? I must know for sure, before returning to Germany and informing Mr. Dietmar.”

“It seems, I will stay a little longer here,” said Ludwig accompanied by a knotty smile.

After a short conversation, Ludwig decided to return to the farm. He had to go home before Lilia realized he was leaving. Ludwig stepped dashingly, while putting both hands into the pocket of the jacket.

However, Ludwig's gallant footsteps came to a halt, as from a distance saw a woman running towards him. The woman looked worried. He immediately rushed over to Ludwig. “Help me, Sir,” his plea aloud, implying an overwhelming fear.

“What's up, Miss?” ask Ludwig. Questions were soon answered, with the appearance of four men from the darkness. Meanwhile, the young woman immediately hid behind Ludwig's sturdy body.

“Don't interfere, man,” said one of the four men, who had now stood before Ludwig. Their attitudes and stares were full of intimidation.

“Who are you?” asked Ludwig coldly.

“Do not ask much. Let us bring the girl!”
