FLASHBACKS
Dante walked out of Alex's room holding his beloved son. He walked without looking back. Her anger at Bella completely messed up, she went into her room and saw her well-dressed wife sitting at the dresser drying her hair. “Oh Dante, Alex..you are here.”.
“Quick pack.” said Dante without spirit and grim face.
“Didn't you go to town, baby?”
“Yes, you two come with me. Aren't you happy to accompany me to work?” ask Dante.
“Oh of course I'm very happy. All right, let me put my makeup on first.”
“Daddy, we're in town?”
“Yes, sweetheart. You like playing in daddy.”'s office
“But I want Bella. He's coming with us, Daddy?”
“No Alex!” tatiana answered quickly before her husband said something he did not want to hear.
“But---” says Alex.
“Three of us go to the city. Daddy promised to buy you a new toy. Hem?”
“I want to play with Bella. I like it, daddy.”
‘Look at this kid still looking for you but you don't even love him. What else am I supposed to do for you, Belinda? I've given you a chance but what are you doing? You're not heeding my rules and my prohibitions! It's as if you're taking Alex to play without taking a shower. Especially that hu? Glad you were being fed to my waiter? Chum-hhhhh! I've banned you from being close to other men and the male servant of my home!’
“You can play with him again later, ok?”
“Hem...” replied Alex nodding his head without passion.
“Why with your face, Alex? You don't like daddy?” Dante saw Alex bend his face.
“Like daddy. But I also like Bella, she's nice to me.”
Tatiana who heard Alex's words even gritted her teeth in anger, what the hell is this? Did that woman poison my son so much that this boy liked her? He had never put on such a face before and he was also not easy to make friends with others.
“I'm ready. We can leave now.” said Tatiana who did not want to hear the name of the woman discussed by her two favorite men.
“Come, baby we go.” Dante held his wife's plate with his right hand and his left hand held Alex until in front of the house, the private driver was waiting for them. They left the mansion as well. Along the way no one spoke, Dante was busy with his thoughts filled with Bella. His heart felt sick and angry at the incident at home.
At first she wanted to cook for Bella but was snuffed out after what happened. ‘I won't spoil you again after this! You don't deserve my attention! Why can't you be sweet and gentle like Tatiana? You only know how to defy me and make me angry! But this kid really likes you, can't you be more serious about doing your job? Did I take you here wrong and give you a chance? Ahhhhhh shit! You really messed with me Belinda!’
Tatiana, who was sitting next to Dante, noticed her husband's unusual manner and facial expression. But he remembered the problem Dante was facing must be the reason why he looked glum and did not say much since. Tatiana doesn't know if it's all because of Bella.
Arriving at Dante's office, Tatiana sits in a sofa while Alex plays on the carpet. Dante busied himself with his work but his mind was unfocused, repeatedly he let out a long sigh. Not only was his heart in chaos, his mind was in chaos. Her mind was filled with the shadow of Bella whom Anthony had fed this morning. Unknowingly he held his golden pen firmly, his every move did not escape Tatiana's sight.
‘What's wrong with my husband? What a problem he was facing was so severe that he looked gloomy and unfocused since earlier at home. If only he would leave this black world and live quietly with me and Alex. What else is it trying to achieve? The money? A treasure? Everything is there and enough for us to live a luxurious life. What exactly happened?’ tatiana's heart murmured.
After an hour, Tatiana approached Dante. “Darling, I'm bored. Can I go out to see my friend? Rarely do we go down to town and since you're busy I think I can spend time with my friend. I'll take Alex with me.”
“Hemm. I don't want you to get tired of waiting for me here. Do you want to take Alex too?”
“No daddy! Me here. There are no small children playmates.” replied Alex who was always reluctant to go with Tatiana. Her face pouted, and her lips pursed making her look adorable.
“Are you sure? Daddy's afraid you're bored here.”
“No daddy. I can just play.”
“Alright, dear.” replied Dante smiling.
“Then I go first baby, if you're done call me. I will be back as soon as.” said Tatiana landed a kiss on her husband's sexy lips.
“Happy, darling. Buy it so you don't get bored It's been a long time you don't shop and have fun with your friends.”
“Iya darling. I go first.”
A Dante staff took Alex out of the room to play around and accompanied him to lunch. It didn't feel like time was going so fast but Dante wasn't focused on working. The clock shows the afternoon. Then he contacted Tatiana to return to his office.
“Daddy!” Alex walked up to Dante while pulling his shirt.
“Iya Alex darling. What was? Are you bored?”
“When do we go home? I miss Bella, daddy.”
“We wait for your mommy for a moment. After that we go home. You like Bella?”
“Iya daddy.”
‘Ahh....did you know that this kid misses you? Why don't you want to change Belinda?’ Tatiana's voice entering her room disperse Dante's daydream. “You've arrived, baby? Are you having fun with your friend?”
“Thank you Dante, I'm so happy today to meet my friend.” smile Tatiana sumringah.
“Let's go home. Alex is bored here.”
“How about your work? Is it done?”
“I can continue later at home. Let's go.” said Dante holding his son and walking out with Tatiana heading to the mansion. Arriving at the mansion the atmosphere looked quiet.
“Darling, you take Alex to his room first. I want to work first.”
“Good. Don't be so tired, Dante! Remember to take care of your health. We need you.”
“Heem...” replied Dante nodded his head then kissed his wife's forehead. He also went to his work room. After a while, he came out of his study and went into Bella's bedroom after he saw his wife coming out of Alex's room and into their room, “It looks like Alex has taken a nap.”
Dante enters Bella's room but not seeing the woman there, the man scratches his forehead. He went to another room on the top floor that led to the backyard. He faintly heard a loud roar from outside and a joking laugh. Dante approached the window and revealed the curtains.
He saw the waiters playing volleyball there, there was Bella too. Dante kept watching Bella from the window. Suddenly he sees Bella falling while about to hit the ball, and a man catches Bella's body and hugs her. Jakun Dante was up and down because of the emotion of seeing Bella being hugged by another man.
The hue of his face flushed red as a similar incident repeated itself a second time. Dante couldn't hold back his emotions anymore. Right now he wants to break Bella's leg. He rushes out of the room and returns to Bella's room, waiting for her to return. Watch you!
