Brian POV's

A few hours ago I just got a call, it was from Stevan. The boy told me to go back home immediately, where he didn't say why. He stressed to me that if in two hours I don't come home, Bella will be taken away with him.

What's really going on now. Throughout the journey my mind was terrified. I don't know why my heart is afraid to lose Bella. Even when Stevan called me, I heard my wife squealing.

My car's pace starts to add up here. The sooner the house gets the better for me. Traffic was pretty heavy tonight, I decided to take another shortcut. I passed through the streets I rarely pass. It's not too dense here. A few minutes later, my car arrived in front of my house.

The sound of my car horn sounded there. Some bodyguards from the inside started to open the door for me. I parked my car inside, right in the yard.

When I got out of the car, some waiters started offering me a banquet. As always, it was a welcome for me and Bella. But I subtly rejected it.

I walked into my house, right in the guest room there were no humans there. For a moment I wondered, where is Bella right now.

"Sir, Madam is in her room with her sister!"

One of my back tells me, I nod in response to that. My feet were walking up the stairs, heading towards Bella's room, which meant that it was our room.

When my hand opened the door, Bella lay there leaning on the headboard while talking to Stevan next to her. Some of my servants were treating his legs, I rounded my eyes. How he got hurt here.

"Darling?!" Call me as you rush to her, there turning her face towards me with a smile.

"Hunny, are you home?" He was about to stand up, but I held him back.

"You why? Why would you get hurt like this?" My question got Stevan to snub.

"You ask? You neglect to keep my brother here?"

I squinted my eyes at him. What kind of talk is that, even if I go out to work. This woman of mine I won't let go alone, her surveillance is tight.

But before I answered Stevan's question, I saw Bella looking down while holding my hand gently. I think I know the problem here.

I could not bear to see it that way, I also sat beside the bed. My burly hands gently caressed her mane. Anger is of no use at this time, and my anger at her may worsen her condition.

"I'm sorry!"

We said it at the same time, he and I were surprised to say that. Stevan beside me was a little uncomfortable to hear that, he got up from his seat.

It seems like he's sick of seeing our affection here. How else, he should have gotten used to this.

I remember that Bella was the only one Stevan had, maybe Stevan was jealous of seeing his older sister spend so much time with me after marriage.

"It's better I get out of here!"

Stevan said as he stood up, he left here. As well as some of my servants, they understand that this moment is my personal moment and Bella, it's privacy.

"How did you get hurt?" I asked her softly, but she just shook her head.

"I don't know, Hun! I crossed the street carefully. However, a car was speeding towards me. If Stevan hadn't come, I might have died."

I was surprised to hear that explanation. Right what he said, if Stevan wasn't there maybe Bella wouldn't be here right now.

Back I calmed her down, gently stroked her mane and then kissed her forehead. There's something strange here. The car seems to have done this on purpose to Bella.

Since Stevan's face was also strange, maybe he knew something about this.

"Rest!" I said to Bella, she nodded.

But when I left, he grabbed my wrist again.

"What's wrong?" I asked him, he just smiled as he patted his bed.

"Sleep with me!" The answer made me smile. It's rare to see a woman like this.

"Then accompany me until I fall asleep. After that you can go!"

I nodded at her door, pity it, it was like a plea. My body I threw just beside her, Bella tilted her body to face me, as well as me.

"Do we need to see a doctor for your leg?"

I asked while playing his mane, but there he shook his head. His body was getting closer to me, where he drowned his head in my chest.

This hug is always comfortable. There is not the slightest bit of feeling in my heart that decreases every time I am with him. I returned the hug, to be honest my heart is still terrified to this day. Scared, when one day my woman was gone from me.

"Be careful, darling!"

Lirihku while kissing her mana. There he did not answer, he just tightened his embrace. Maybe he was tired, I let him sleep there.

When I was sure Bella was asleep, I decided to go downstairs. My stomach was hungry as my footsteps began to climb down the stairs. There, the sofa looks Stevan is watching television. Apparently he's still not gone.

"You still here?" I asked when I was downstairs.

Stevan sighed, and his hand began to pat the empty space next to him. He patted the sofa.

"What?" I asked him, he looked at me this time.

"Sit down, there's something I need to talk to you about!"

This time his tone of voice was serious, as was his gaze. It seems like my guess is right this time, this young man knows something. Whoever dares to come, hurt my Bella, I won't take it.

"What's wrong?" I asked while sitting next to him. Our eyes are not directed at each other, our eyes are looking ahead.

"You know the accident that almost took my brother's life? It's not pure! It seemed like it was intentional, it seemed like there was someone who had bad intentions for him!"

The argument from him is also in line, that's what's in my head right now. We are thinking hard about this incident. One name in my mind right now, is this Nami.

"Is this Nami?" Hearing the name called, Stevan clenched his hand. His net was staring hard at me.

"Fuckin' shit! If only the organization hadn't killed so many human lives!"

Again about the past. I can answer what happened. Everything is karma. That is why the world applies, violence does not have to be countered by violence. Because the ugliness is countered with the ugliness, it will produce something else that is worse later.

"Don't we both agree not to discuss the past, Stev?"

The question made him turn away from me. Her net was staring resentfully at the television in front of us.

"Nami wouldn't hurt another human, if that human had nothing to do with her grudge!"

I realize here, what he's talking about is me. Nami holds a huge grudge against me, even though the world has handed her sentence to me, but she is just a human who is not satisfied with reality.

"So, what are you gonna do now?" Ask Stevan to me.

"I'm worried about my woman, I hope we can work with Stev!"

My words made him smile, for a moment he laughed. He doesn't believe I asked him for this. But how else, as long as it's about Bella, I'll do anything.

My hand was stretched out to him, seeing the helping hand from me he stopped his laughter then looked at me fixedly and nodded.

"All right! Let's take care of brother together!"

That answer really relieved my heart. Her affection for Bella is great, it reminds me of Eddie now.

A deal tonight we made. From now on, the former mafia along with the spies will work together to uncover who is the mastermind of this event.

...Don't take the wrong side of an argument...

...Just because your enemy has taken the right side...

...We can't have a thousand comrades without getting some enemies...
