SENSITIVE LOVE

42

Aston observed the vidio sent by his men. Sitting with his right hand in a room in his building. His right hand held a glass of wine. Enjoy watching while drinking. Vidio is evidence of the death of his wife. It even shows who the real culprit of the murder is.

His right hand gave him his cell phone which showed pictures of two women. Sitting in a cafe.

"For the time being let it go, eliminating it now would disrupt the plan. See how far that stupid woman can bother them" Aston said. Spending the glass in one sip.

Aston turned off the vidio, tidied up his suit and stood up. Staring out through the glass with a face full of confidence. It was as if the world he held within his grasp. The details of the plan are neatly arranged in his genius brain.

"In this fight..who do you think won?" he asked the only man who was there besides him.

His right hand was silent, as he understood that Aston did not really want an answer. He is just showing that he can confidently manage anyone, even someone with a brain and characteristics like his.

.

Clara returns to Arnold's house with Sindy during the day. Steven is still out. The man didn't even call at all. Even so he felt better. Talking to him and feeling set to put him under pressure.

"Kak Sindy just stay here, do not have to go home if you feel threatened to return to Indonesia" said Clara.

"It is impossible ... Steven won't give Clar permission.I'm looking for a hotel" Sindy said with a face made as sad as possible.

"Sister, Steven can protect your brother if I'm the same. I. I will try to talk to him." said Clara but seemed hesitant about her own idea.

What the hell's going on?

So, during the trip they went out the streets earlier. Sindy concocted a story that since her engagement to Aldo was cancelled. He was forced to follow his father's rules to marry a rich man and seduce him for financial support. Although not all lies, but Sindy did a lot of story manipulation so that Clara kindly wanted to help him. With the consequences of loss for him of course. Because he had to be willing to stay with Steven until Sindy's problem was resolved. And now she tells Clara that she was almost raped by a business associate who wanted to give her money. That's why he fled to Singapore. Then look at the news and find out the whereabouts of Clara.

Sindy hugged Clara and came back crying. Clara stroked his back, trying to calm down.

Jun returned to Arnold's house in the afternoon. Staring silently at Clara and Sindy who were sitting relaxing in the garden behind the house. Quite happy to see Clara returning to her usual existence, but Sindy's existence disturbs her. Ignoring them, Jun walks into Arnold's office to pick up something and returns to the office where Steven and Arnold are.

"So for a year you continue your small-scale shop business while you go to school? Now..you don't want to go to college?" ask Sindy.

"Of course you want to, but Steven doesn't necessarily give permission" replied Clara.

"Why? haven't you guys broken up?"

Clara nodded but sighed heavily. Makes Sindy wonder. What is their relationship at the moment. So that he returned to make a question.

"Then...what's the reason you stayed with him? come wherever he goes, guarded? I thought you guys were back in a relationship again."

Clara weighs a little, will say about her debt or not. However, he finally chose not to say it first.

"I don't know either, we've broken up but Steven is more possessive. He said Raka's still after me, brother."

"Whose sheep?"

"Children are like psychopaths in High School. He kidnapped me at the time. Our counselling teacher also said to be careful with him. He said he had an obsession, an obsession to make me his first victim. I don't know, I don't really understand Sindy either."

Sindy was silent for a moment, she seemed to think for a long time. A waiter approaches Clara and says that Steven told her to clean up.

"For what?"

It wasn't Clara who asked, it was Sindy. The waiter looked uncomfortable. Realizing the middle-aged woman who had been taking care of him these few days looked puzzled, Clara spoke up.

"I'm going to take a shower, it just so happens to be late in the afternoon" said Clara politely.

"Well Miss, your bath water and clothes have been prepared."

"What's Arnold's sister's shirt again?" clara asked, he just felt bad.

The clothes he had brought from America were all left on board at the time. Because they plan to stay after the party is over.

"Let's just calm Miss, Mr. Steven sent your clothes shortly after you came out.I'm sorry" he replied.

"Well, Steven's been paying attention to you ever since" Sindy said. Making Clara's face red.

"He is good, but he is also evil. Ah, brother, go to the room. If you want to take a bath, you can wear my clothes first" he said, then grabbed Sindy's hand to go with him.

.

Clara can't sleep. He chose to leave Sindy who was sleeping in her room. Opting out to the living room. Steven hasn't come home yet. It's almost midnight. He was of course worried, although Clara hated and feared simultaneously, but her heart could not deny the anxiety she felt. Because after dinner, some of the guards who had been assigned to guard him rushed out. Only a few people stayed. Jun even came back to be around. The man also looked agitated.

"June..."

Jun who was standing not far from the entrance looked back. Surprised because she thought Clara was asleep.

"You awake? you better go back to Miss's room."

"What's wrong? why do you look worried too?" ask Clara.

"Go back to the room, I beg you." asked Jun.

Clara was confused and she was getting anxious. Upon hearing the sound of a car entering the grounds Jun immediately opened his puntu and exited.

Clara follows him, much to his surprise when she sees Arnold carrying Steven who is finally helped by Jun. Steven nearly lost his consciousness with a body full of blood. He was shot in his right chest and arm. While Arnold looks injured left-footed by a sharp object incision.

"Are they here?" steven asked in a soft voice almost like a whisper as his eyes looked at Clara who was already crying.

"Silence fool! don't say anything!" snarled Arnold with a panicked face. Though his own legs are also limping but insist he is carrying Steven.

After he was laid in his room, a number of doctors and medical devices arrived. On the way they've contacted the team of doctors Arnold used to hire when he was still working in the underworld first. His dirty work did not allow him to go to the hospital. Just like today, where they were attacked by a group of people after doing a business deal. They certainly know who the perpetrator is and have cleaned it up as well. Just wait for the time of the small bomb to explode and the news will show that Irios died while fighting with her dirty business opponents.

Clara was silent in the corner. He refused to go back and kept crying. Jun couldn't do anything. Arnold himself is being treated and continues to see Steven who is unconscious.

After the team of doctors finished their work and stitched up the wound, they begged Permission to come back and said he would be back soon if something dangerous happened. So far, Steven's situation has stabilized. The bullet didn't hit any vital organs and he just lost a lot of blood.

Everyone was silent, Clara with her body shaking close to the bed and climbed up. He thought Steven was going to die because he lost consciousness. Clara grabbed her palm to hold and curled next to it. Clara looks calmer when she is lying down, but yesterday she was still afraid of Steven.

Arnold who was lying on the couch exchanged glances with Jun. Decide if they stay there or go out. Arnold sighed and chose to comfort himself, closing his eyes to rest. While Jun himself opts out, he must arrange a house guard so that the rest of them cannot retaliate if they intend to do so.

"Where's clara? what's inside? what's going on?"

Jun stopped and turned his head, Sindy was only a few steps away from the door of the room which was heavily guarded by bodyguards. No one was allowed in except for the special bodyguards, Arnold and himself. Clara was certainly an exception, who would dare to ban her?

Sindy bit her lips and turned around. Back in his room with a great feeling of annoyance. Thinking of a strategy to get the people around Steven to be lenient with him. Not knowing Jun already wanted to throw him out if only not thinking about Clara's anger which affected his own master's anger. He knows Sindy's purpose and he hates the type of woman he is. Even Roulet, the person he once loved, could not soften it when it had turned into a female demon. So instead of killing him in revenge for his brother's death, he simply sent Roulet to a mental hospital. Locking it up there tampa makes a gap to get out.

.

The next morning, Steven was conscious. He moved his fingertips that felt numb. Unfortunately one hand he could not move, not because he could not but the grasp of someone who was so tight the reason.

Steven turned his head down, looking at Clara's body which was like a shrink from curling up like a baby. He smiled and was about to raise another hand to stroke her until she grimaced. He forgot that one of his hands was shot as well.

"You awake?" said Arnold.

He sat down when he heard the ringing in pain. Steven looked over as he saw Jun enter. His face is clearly not okay. He looked tired and sleepless. Make sure he stays up all night.

"Are you all right, sir?" tanyakanya.

Steven smiled, his eyes sparkling at Clara who was still asleep. "Very good" he answered.

"I would even be hurt forever if he kept holding my hand." she continued, her smile widening.

Jun cleared his throat, for some reason he felt ashamed of himself hearing Steven say such a sweet thing. Arnold pretended to vomit in disgust.

"That's disgusting shit! don't make me creep!" he said with a ticklish tone.

Hearing Clara's voices awaken. He immediately sat down. His grasp slipped and his swollen eyes added to the chaos on his face.

Clara was awkward. So far they are still in a bad relationship. "Ak.I'll be back in the room" he said slowly. Down and start to roll down.

Just down, he turned back and approached Steven in panic when he heard a slow cry of pain.

"Why? what's that hurt? whereabouts? chest or hand?" ask Clara.

"My stomach, my stomach hurts a lot" Steven said, still grimacing.

"I'll call the doctor, sir!" said Jun who was panicking. He took out his phone before Steven's reply froze him, not believing what he was hearing.

"No need, Juni! I just need a mouthful of this sweet girl's hand because I'm starving" she said casually.

Don't ask Clara, it's obvious she's upset and embarrassed. Wanted to be angry but Steven was badly injured. Then what about Jun, his face flushed with embarrassment. Shame has entered in his master's game of deception. He could not see the situation. While Arnold stood up, clearly his face was also irritated. Just like Jun, he was also fooled.

" Damn it! love has made his brain shift. Jun help me get back in the room, I'm going crazy here!" arnold was upset.

"Please stay here and don't tell anyone about your situation, Miss. Even to your friend. I'll have the waiter deliver the food to the front of the room. Please take it there" Jun said before taking Arnold out.

Now, both of them are in an awkward state. Actually only Clara felt that way, Steven himself even looked very happy.

"Why can Sindy not know?" ask Clara.

*Devitably so it feels like the author is pinching!!

Steven grabbed his hand to grasp, staring intensely. "Clara.friend can be the enemy so don't trust anyone too much." Clara nodded, she was the lightest Aston wanted to kill her.

"Yes, including your friends at the party. But Sindy's sister is different. I believe him."

Steven just nodded, not wanting to make a fuss because making Clara soft like this was very difficult.

"He can stay here first? he's got a problem and. and..."

Steven tightened his grip. "Do it, just don't be too open about me. I want you to set limits when he asks me anything about me or my company. Understand?" suhut Steven softly.

Despite not understanding the reason Steven had forbidden her from telling him about herself, Clara nodded. At least he can persuade Steven to let Sindy stay with them.

"I'm glad you didn't ask to come home again, is this because of your friend? do I have to thank him?"

"uh? that.it..."

"It doesn't matter, even if you're by my side for such a reason. It doesn't matter to me if I see you every day." Steven said.

I don't know why Clara's heart ached when she heard it. He felt bad for using Steven. Though yesterday he insisted to ask to be returned. He asked for freedom.

Both of them looked up when they heard the noise outside. Both of them recognized this voice. It was the voice of Steven's mother who was angry because she was not allowed to enter. His mother did not know about Steven. He instead made accusations that his son might have hurt Clara inside.

Steven peeked at his painful forehead. He really felt his head pulsating. "Are you okay?" ask Clara.

"Can you tell the old grandmother to be quiet? Just have him come in and shut the door." she replied.

Clara quickly walked to the door and opened it. Steven's mother immediately grabbed Clara and pushed her in. Clara didn't even close the door. Simultaneously a bodyguard pushed the food-filled trolley in before closing the door again.

"Mom please...!" reprimanding Steven when his mother's babble still continues while examining the body of Clara who was aware of earlier looks chaotic.

"Oh My God Steve!" yelling at her mother, she let Clara go and ran towards her son.

"What's going on? did you report the police? who were you attacked by?"

"Calm mom, I'm good and don't tell the police that mommy doesn't want me to get into trouble."

"Why? you're involved with the mafia?"

"Mom.." scolded Steven again.

His mother breathed. He glanced at the clock in his hand and looked at Steven regretfully.

"Mom's happy Clara's been getting better. Don't fight anymore. I can't stay long because there is a photo shoot. I'll be here when I'm done" said his mother.

"No, Mom. It will invite suspicion from my enemies. Stay where it's safe. I'll probably be back in America in two days."

His mother looked at Steven with a hint of displeasure, about to protest but she could not. Steven won't hear it either. Then he just nodded. Giving a kiss of affection to her son and Clara before leaving.

"Is it okay? your mother..definitely sad?"

"Come and we eat together. Suap me," Steven said, ignoring Clara's question.

Clara nodded, and went into the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth. In each bathroom there is a new toothbrush in the house, so Clara does not need to go to her room to just brush her teeth. After a bit of fresh and tidy he brought a food trolley and began to feed Steven and himself.
