Chapter 8
RIA
I woke up early in the morning. I groped for Steven but he was no longer by my side so I stood up and looked around the room to find him. ‘Where is he?’ I asked in vain.
I took my phone that was on the table and picked up my bag that was on the floor as well as my clothes. I looked for where my panty was but I couldn’t find it. I don’t know where Steven threw that last night.
I left the room and looked for Steven downstairs but I couldn’t find him in the living room either. I went back to my room to take a shower before I called my son.
I didn’t know why Steven left. Is there an emergency at his company? Why didn’t he say goodbye? But why would he inform me? We’re not a thing.
To remove those negative thoughts from my mind, I decided to cool off my mind.
After I take a bath, I called my son. I miss him so much.
Divine answered it immediately after the first ring.
“Hello,” her frowning face exposed to me.
“Why are you so ugly?” I said laughing.
“Please don’t start with me, Ri. I’m not in the mood. Where were you last night and you didn’t call Lili?” she asked. I sighed. I forgot to call my son last night because I didn’t expect what happened to me and Steven.
“I’ll tell you when I get home, Vine. Anyway, I’m fine,” I said.
“How about your peanut?” her question made my eyes widen. Peanut means vag! na.
“Watch your mouth, Divina,” I said. Gosh! This woman!
She laughed.
“Let me talk to my son,” I said.
“Your son? Well, he’s with his aunt,”
“Aunt? Who?”
“Who else? Hannah of course,” she said. Oh My God! Did Hannah visit?
“Where are they now?” I asked curiously.
“She’s in the living room. They are playing. Hannah brought a gift! Scratch that- I guess, she just brought the whole toy factory.” I laughed at what my friend said.
“My son? How is he?”
“He’s not in the mood earlier because you didn’t call him last night. But when his aunt Hannah came, his mood change,” I sighed.
“Alright. Thanks Vine. I’ll call you later. Don’t be jealous.” I said, mocking her.
“Jealous? Who?” she said and hung up the call.
I smirked. I know you very well, Vine.
So now, since I’m alone and I couldn’t find Steven, maybe I’ll just cook to eat. I will do his laundry later.
It’s six o’clock in the evening, and Steven still isn’t there. I am really wondering now why he left me. Did he leave because he got what he wanted?
I should stop thinking this nonsense.
But why am I bothered now by the fact that he left me after we did that last night?
I have done all the diversions but still no effect. So I decided to sit down and wait for him.
Time passed and I got more and more nervous. When I heard a car horn outside, I know that Steven has arrived.
I opened the gate for him, his black car entered, before it even reached the garage the car stopped. Steven came out clearly drunk.
So I quickly came to him to support him not to fall.
“My baby,” he said when I held him. He turned to me and touched my cheek.
I tried to carry his weight into the house. I didn’t know why he got drunk. We were fine yesterday.
When we entered the living room, I put him on the sofa. I quickly got a basin of water and a clean face towel to wipe him. His face was red, a sign of being soaked in alcohol.
“W.. Why are you so pretty?” He said staring at me. He tried to reach out to me, but because I was wiping him, I moved away, making him frown again.
“Why avoi.. ding me?” This is damn hard. I ignored him and took off his slippers took off his clothes.
“Let’s change your clothes upstairs so you don’t get cold.” I said. He shook his head.
“No. Sit first,” he said like a child.
I sat next to him and he shook his head again.
“Don’t.. there. Sit beside.. me,” he said.
“Here..” he tapped his lap. I sighed and followed his tuntrums.
“You might get cold. Change your clothes first,”
“I don’t want to,” and then he hugged me and buried his face in my neck.
“Why did you drink too much?”
He laughed sarcastically.. “To cool off my mind… You’re taken.. But I don’t want you to be taken by someone else. I want you to be taken because of me. I want you to be mine,” I blushed at what he said.
“Who told you I am taken?”
“There’s someone in your phone calling you earlier. I got curious so I took your phone inside your bag. Even though it’s wrong,” he said pouting. So he was the one who put my phone on the table?
“Who called me? I asked.
“Your love” he said and his face immediately changed. I couldn’t stop laughing because of that. Seriously? Is he jealous? It’s our son who is calling.
“Why are you laughing at me?” He asked confused.
“Because you’re funny,” I said.
“Break up with him,” he ordered. Oh my God! Our situation is crazy.
“Sorry Steven. But I can’t,” I said, trying to suppressed my laughter. Pain, jealousy and disappointment flashed in his eyes. Is he in love? With me? It’s too fast. I admit that I am attracted to him but is he too? Really?
“Do you love him?” he asked. I nodded in response. Silly! Of course I love him. He’s our son after all.
“Me? How about me? You allow me to kiss you, hug you, to f*ck you. What are we?”
“You’re my boss. I’m your maid. So that’s… we are.” I said laughing as his face frowned even more.
“I don’t want that. I’ll make you mine,” he said.
“Really?” I’m still enjoying this conversation with him.
“Yes. So I’m willing to be your little dirty secret,” he said and hugged me tightly.
“Baby,” he said calmly making my chest pound.
“Yes?”
“Nothing. It’s so nice to call you that,” he said. Yes, I agree! It’s scary but at the same time, it feels good.
“I’m hungry,” he complained.
“I cooked. Do you want to eat first?” I asked him gently. He nodded so I stood up to help him stand up and we walked towards the kitchen.
I put rice on the plate and a bowl of soup with fish. Steven was just focused on what I was doing, particularly on me. I didn’t know why but I just let him.
“Why are you looking at me?” I asked,
“Nothing baby. You’re just pretty and perfect,” he said seriously while staring at me.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Just a simple words but my face immediately turned red. When he noticed my reaction, he smiled and started eating.
“How is it? Is it good?”
“Yes. But you taste better,” he said. Okay, what’s with him? Why does he have so many flowery words now?
“Alright. Eat now. I cooked it for you,” I said. He nodded and ate well which made me smile too.
I wonder what Steven’s reaction would be if he found out that there was a Hivo in the world that came from him? Will he be angry at me? Will he be happy? Will he accept Hivo? or not?

STEVEN
“I found the one I want to marry,” Steven said to himself while staring at Ria who was taking care of him. For Steven, people like Ria are people who should be kept.
‘She’s a wife material. She’s perfect. She’s going to be a perfect wife and a mother to our children,’ he added.
