The Bridge of Sin
A Sneer From Behind the Glass
...Isn't it funny how day after day nothing has changed...
...But if you look back, everything is different...
...The most beautiful things in the world must be felt with the heart...
________
From inside the car a pair of eyes stared boredly at the tall buildings. There he was pensively staring at the streets, there were many things in his head at the moment.
The things that are in his head are bad things. For a moment his right hand reached into something from inside his Hoodie jacket.
She is a girl, none other than Nami her name. While staring at the crowded city streets, a gun from his pocket he pulled out.
The bodyguard beside her gave a small glance at what Nami was doing. His heartbeats began to clash, the burly bodyguard was afraid. Nami is getting more and more crazy today indeed.
Not infrequently the bodyguards are made to shudder in horror. His madness will be vengeful turning him into a Devil slowly.
The car covered for a moment, stopping right next to an old man in black file.
Tukkkk
Tukkkk
The man knocks on Nami's car window, where Nami starts to open her car's windshield. This old man was the same man, who had also met Stevan a while ago.
"Miss!"
When the car's glass opens. There Nami just looked at him coldly, The old man took off his hat.
"Miss, the news is bad! Mr. Stevan still doesn't want to join."
Nami had guessed that, Stevan's love for his family made him forget about him. When Bella and herself meet, Nami seems to be ignored by her anymore.
"All right, thank you! Keep an eye on him!"
The order made the old man nod. Nami closed the windshield before the car left. Nami looked at her iPad. An evil grin expands in his face.
"To the Bookstore!"
That command of purpose made his driver nod. The engine starts running again. Bookshops are his main goal right now.
______
Bella's in a bookstore right now. His head was thirsty for referrals, the internet invited him here.
Last night's ad said there will be a big promo at this bookstore, which is why Bella hapa is here at this time.
Before buying some of those resources, Bella read them there. While standing, the net is observant to enjoy each content of the narrative there.
Someone from a distance had been watching him for a few minutes. The bookstore was not too crowded, only someone with an interest in reading only interested in coming here.
Depppppp
Depppppp
Depppp
The sound of footsteps caught Bella's attention now. The man who was standing at the end of the hall, who had only been looking at him ever since walked up to him.
At this moment the man stood straight in front of him. A pair of shoes that stopped in front of him made Bella divert her net.
"Yes?"
Bella asked as she looked up at him, there the man smiled as he extended his hand. That made Bella raise one eyebrow.
"Miss Bella Drew? I'm Reiner, the publisher's owner."
The introduction made Bella round her eyes. How nice he was to meet one of the advocates of literacy.
With pleasure, Bella shook Reiner's hand. They both throw smiles at each other.
Today, Bella is not with Brian. Her husband told her he would be busy all day. That's why Bella decided to come here, as well as take a walk.
"Well, it's nice to meet you, sir!" Bella.
"I am also Miss! Emm, this great promo event is also our organizing one. I am a fan of your novel! As a gift, what if you chose some books here for free." Reiner.
It was like winning a lottery ticket. Bella flowers taste.
"Thank you very much Mr. Reiner, I appreciate that!"
"What if I accompany you around?"
That move made Bella nod. The two people today walked together to enjoy the ranks of promo books there.
Their interests are the same here. That's what keeps the conversation between them from fading. The topic of talking about books, is something that Bella is most interested in.
Since the morning Bella was there, the clock right showed at 16:00, dusk began to come covering the sky. Evening will be present soon, the moon in space began to prepare itself to look charming in the sky.
"Thank you Mr. Reiner! I really enjoyed the event you hosted." Bella shakes Reiner's hand.
"Together Miss! If the book you are interested in is still there, please take it! Or maybe, I can send it to your house."
Such a good offer from a stranger he knew a few hours ago. Bella just nodded while continuing to smile.
"Thank you again, you are indeed very kind sir! I was impressed by all his adoration. Today's chat was enough to just drive out the saturation in my heart."
Reiner raised one eyebrow. A very beautiful billionaire's wife, why should it be saturated. Their possessions were abundant, then, what kind of happiness they could not afford.
"Yes of course!"
"But how could she? You're a billionaire wife in France. What kind of saturation afflicts a sultan?"
"Sometimes being a respected icon seems to be the perfect life in the eyes of others. I'm just saturated with trivial things."
Reiner's curiosity is getting bigger. It was the first time he met Bella, but I pulled this woman amazing.
"May I know Miss?" The question made Bella nod, a sign that Reiner could find out.
"I'm bored, actually I want to work!"
It was almost made in disbelief. Why is Bella looking for a job, while the money keeps coming to her. But there Reiner was happy, maybe the book editor vacancy in his place could be filled by Bella.
"Well, I just lost one of my employees! Perhaps the lady wants to fill her position, as an Editor?"
"Huh, really? Maybe I can think about it again."
That ambiguous statement left Reiner astonished. Bella said she needed a job.
"Yes, it all depends on my husband!"
That remark made Reiner nod. Bella waved her hand towards Reiner.
"I'm sorry, it's almost night! See you, Mr. Reiner!"
Before Bella left, Reiner called out to her again just then. It made Bella turn towards the man, where Reiner walked up to Bella. From inside his pocket, a business card he gave him.
"This is my business card, perhaps miss deigns and is allowed. Please call me, that's where my phone number is."
Bella accepted that while nodding and smiling. After saying goodbye for the second time, Bella actually went to leave Reiner alone in the doorway.
It feels quite a relief today. I enjoy my time in the bookstore. This time Bella came out without a car or bodyguard.
He wants to enjoy his own time. A few times Brian's bodyguards offered him a ride, they were very protective of Bella.
From inside the car, a girl is none other than Nami smiling when she found Bella walking alone unattended.
There Bella stopped for a moment. He'll cross the road to the bus stop up ahead.
"Road!"
The order left Nami's driver confused. But the driver just kept quiet, he knew what kind of crazy action his employer would do. Feeling that he did not get what he wanted, Nami who was sitting in the chair next to him shifted it.
Driver Nami was forced out of the car. When the steering wheel was in her hands, Nami stepped on the gas of the car underneath. He drove his car towards Bella who was crossing there.
Bella walked there without understanding, from the side there was a crazy car ready to eliminate her life.
"Dead you!" Nami growled, staring hatefully at Bella there.
While panting someone from behind his body ran as fast as he could towards Bella. He saw the speed of the car that was coming towards him.
That man was Stevan. He just got home from his job. I swear by anything, if today that car hit her brother. Stevan will kill the driver.
"Sister!!!" Shouted Stevan so.
Brukkkkkk
Bella was pushed to the front by Stevan. Similarly, Stevan, he also fell in front with Bella.
Highlight the eyes of some humans there were made to be surprised by the action. Some of them were grateful, Stevan came at the right time.
"Steve?" Bella chuckles at her sister who is still breathing. Bella glanced at the car that was starting to move away.
"You're how!"
Pekik Stevan, they're both sitting right now. But the horror of losing his brother had not disappeared in his heart at all.
"Why aren't you with Brian's bodyguards?"
That question made Bella duck. It seems true what Stevan said. She should never have forgotten that her husband was a former mobster. The enemies of the past must still be lurking around them.
"Sorry!" Lirih Bella was sorry, there Stevan sighed to hear it. Her hand patted her brother's shoulder gently, then stood up.
"Let's go home, brother! I'll get you home!"
Stevan stretched out his hand, helping Bella stand up. When her brother stood up, they walked away from there. They got back on the bus today.
On the bus they both did not talk
Stevan thought trying to guess who the bastard who came to eliminate his brother.
Nami's name came to light right then and there. But there Stevan refused to believe, that Nami was the one who was having evil intentions on her brother.
Because, if Nami's revenge was only for Brian, he would definitely not touch his brother. That's one thing Stevan believes in.
The threat of his brother's life here makes Stevan even more determined. He must find the culprit soon.
Bella is the only family she loves. The only family Stevan has at the moment, no one else to go home to, complaining also tells stories whenever there is a problem if not to his family, namely Bella. I swear by anything, Stevan will protect Bella.
...Flowers that bloom in distress are the rarest and most beautiful of all...
...Sometimes the right path is not the easiest...
...If you don't think, then you can't talk...
