Chapter 21 - The Battle Is On (3) (1/2)
Wirata looked at the colorful face, black and blue and now red with blood. She must have given him some good punches there, which made the cracked brow bleeding. His suit looked priceless, meaning...garbage.
”Use the cloth there!”
She spoke with a hard voice, pointing at the cloth she had thrown in the used-to-be hot water bowl. He still did not let go of her and his strong arm tightened when she tried to move. Wirata stopped punching him. Her fist was red, spoiled with his blood.
”Do it for me. You caused it.”
Stefan ordered. Wirata was feeling pitiless for the mafia boss, even she was not a cruel person, but what he just did to her, it made her too suspicious to trust this man. He was a mad dog!
Everything about this man was so opposite to Sam, his brother. They were completely different, apart from their looks. That was the only thing indicating that they were related!
Wirata wiggled again and surprised that this time he let her off his lap. But he still grabbed her arm.
”Sit here, and clean it for me.”
He ordered with an edgy voice. Wirata's heart was a bit calmer than before, she sat but be ready in case he had a move on her again. She didn't like seeing blood, so she used the cloth to wipe it out of her hands first. He slid her a cold gaze, pulled the cloth from her hand to wipe his face by himself.
”Ouch! Damn it!” Stefan swore. His face was so painful now, couldn't believe his supposed-to-be-fun night would have turned out like this.
Wirata looked at the way he used the cloth to wipe his face, she couldn't stand it, so she grabbed it back and washed it in the bowl, then started to wipe the blood off his face, not so gentle, it made him flinched and swore. Wirata meant to be rough, saw him grit his teeth. He definitely deserved it!
The phone was ringing. Wirata jumped. That was her phone. It was in her purse on the opposite couch. She reached for it and he didn't stop her.
”Hello, Wirata.” The unfamiliar voice said from the phone. Wirata frowned because she didn't recognize this one.
”It's me. Bernardo. I see that we haven't finished our dinner yet.”
The cool and smooth voice of Bernardo said.
”Bernardo. I'm sorry.”
She didn't know what to say. She knew that she had wasted her night already. Bernardo would cancel uncle John's deal.
”Well, it's okay, since it wasn't your fault. It should be me who says...sorry. We can fix this. Tomorrow night, we can meet again, if you want?”
Bernardo offered her a chance to fix it. Wirata glanced at Stefan, he was listening with his sullen face.
Before Wirata could say anything back to Bernardo, the big hand reached and snatched her phone. He spoke into the phone with a dark serious expression on his face.
”Bastard. She's with me right now. You should accept your loss. I told you she's mine.”
”I am not yours!”
Wirata shouted at him immediately. How dared him to say something disgusting like that!
He sent her a scolded gaze.
”Huh! I heard that Stefan. The woman isn't willing to be yours. You should be a man.”
Bernardo said mockingly.
”Shut the fuck up! And listen to me, son of a bitch! Never touch her, or you will have to face me. And it won't be my loss.” Stefan announced war.
”If you don't know, I'll be kind to tell you that her step-father is willing to talk to me about the deal to get his house back.”
”Your business with John White is yours. But if you involve her, it will be my business.”
”She is not yours, Stefan. Let's play fair!”
Bernardo shot back. Stefan could imagine his enemy's cool smooth shitty face turned sour.
”She is mine, tonight and from now on.”
Stefan said and then pressed the button, threw the phone onto the wall, it was broken into two pieces. Wirata looked with a shock on her face, and she ran to pick it up. It's obviously completely dead! She turned to him, her face was red with anger.
”You, idiot! That's my only phone and I have all my information on it!”
She shouted and without thinking, she jumped on him and strangled his neck! Stefan leaned back onto the couch, so now she was on top of him and put both hands around his neck and squeezing hard! Stefan grabbed her wrists immediately.
”Hey, What's the fuck!”
Stefan held her wrists and pushed them away from his neck, she lost to his strong force. He pulled her against his chest, wrapped his arms around her. Now she wiggled and fought fiercely like before, but only one quick move, Stefan managed to flip her to be under him.
”Who you think you are, Wirata. Stop hurting me. I'm gonna run out of patience in this very minute!”
Wirata couldn't believe what he just said!
”What? Hurting you?? It's you who are hurting me and kidnapping me! Stefan. I don't know what you want from me. Let me go! I hate you!”
”I don't like you either. But if you don't know one thing, your step-father has owed me big money. He's losing his pub soon if he can't keep his promise!”
”What??!!”
Wirata froze after hearing. Uncle John not just only owed Bernardo big money! But he also owed Stefan, too! So now her brain was working and calculating.
It meant both his pub and his house were going!
Oh! No!
Holy God!
”So, if you are too stupid to know what games Bernardo and your step-father are playing, I'll tell you. He wants to use you as his payment!”
”And what about you?!”
”Well, I have given him plenty of time and he couldn't do what he has promised. So I'll take his pub, I'm a businessman.”
”Then nothing to do with me.”
Wirata said in cold voice, realizing that his face was so close and he looked scary at this point, not his face, but the dark in his eyes.
He looked at her face and his gaze dropped to her lips. Wirata pressed her lips together immediately. Her face flushed. But managed to stay strong by not to break eye contact with him.
Stefan must admit that he liked the way she was under his body, his blood started to boil inside. He could smell her scent clearly, it was playing the same tricks to his head. Stefan lowered his face to kiss her neck, it made her body tense up immediately. Her eyes were flicking with suspicion.
”So, if you want to help John, I have an offer, it's a good deal for you and your step-father.”
Stefan said in a businesslike tone.
”What offer?”
Wirata asked, her heart skipped a beat before sped up rapidly when he lifted his hand to caress her cheek and then along her jawlines.
Her hands were on his chest, so she pushed him, but the solid body didn't move an inch. He pressed his lower body onto her. Wirata could feel something hard thrusting her thighs. She had gone flushed more and more because she could guess what it was.
