The Innocent Who is Trapped Mafia Love

As days passed, Clara felt that something wasn't right with Ruby and her life, there was a feeling that she couldn't describe in words. The fear that every night always becomes a nightmare for her. That also seemed to be what Ruby felt, since they returned to Diana's house, there wasn't a single day when Ruby could sleep soundly, even Clara's presence couldn't calm her down.

Diana had asked Clara to ask Steven to come because she felt that maybe Ruby missed her father by her side, but Clara immediately refused, she felt that Steven had thrown her out and asked them never to return to the mansion, after all, that was what Clara had wanted for a long time.

Clara's presence in the mansion with Steven was only because she was tied to something, Ruby was the reason she was there, she could have reported everything to the police but was she able to put Steven in prison, since she saw how strong Steven was with all the wealth and power he had. Steven could easily eliminate someone and cover their mouth with money. That's how the crime never gets revealed.

But Clara's eyes were the witness, she saw how cruel Steven was, even though there was something inside Clara that made her unable to hate the man. After what Steven had done to her life.

"What's wrong Clara? Don't you want to tell me yet?" Diana approached her daughter who was sitting alone on the sofa, she looked tired because she kept looking after Ruby who wouldn't stop crying.

"I think my life is a curse, Mom," Clara said.

"Why do you talk like that?" Diana said.

"Maybe if I dream too high I won't fall so deep like this, I could never have imagined that my life would be this chaotic, impregnated by a foreign man who bought me, a cruel man who is used to dirtying his hands to gain power and now my life is never calm," Clara said.

"Isn't he doing anything good for you? Have you ever felt a little comfortable around him? Because I've seen this since the first time I met you, there is a bond that is invisible but very strong, you and he need each other, and aren't you curious why he suddenly asked you to leave? Why would he keep you there if, in the end, he would just throw you and Ruby away?" Diana said.

"Mom, why do you always defend him? Why do you always close your eyes if that man is the reason my life is the mess it is today," Clara said.

"Is Ruby the reason your life is falling apart?" Diana said making her daughter fall silent.

"Is Ruby's presence in your life also a curse? I'm angry, I hate that man, he destroyed my family, but will everything go back to how it was before by continuing to blame him? No Clara, open your heart, I know this is hard to go through, but this is what you have to accept, all the bad things that happen to you won't feel so painful if you can accept it, look at Ruby, she is a gift from what that man has done to you, he gave a little angel to treat the wound he gave you and he never took Ruby from you, even though he could have done it, accept what has happened, in fact with your attitude like this you will only feel devastated and blame anyone," Diana said.

"I'll see Ruby in the room, go to sleep Mom, it's getting late," Clara said, she kissed her mother's forehead before entering the room.

Seeing her little daughter sleeping in bed made Clara cry, she sat near her daughter and tried to think back to her mother's words.

Meanwhile, in another place, Steven, who couldn't sleep, tried to get out of bed when Jessi kept hugging him. He took his sleeping robe to cover his body and went out on the balcony.

Lighting the cigarette in his hand and smoking it, he missed his daughter, Ruby and he also missed Clara. But leaving them here will only create new problems.

"Steven?" Jessi's voice was heard calling him from inside, Steven turned his head and found Jessi sitting on the bed with a blanket she was using to cover her body.

"Why are you there? The wind was so cold, I couldn't sleep," Jessi said.

"I'm sorry," Steven said, he put out his cigarette and went inside, closed the balcony door and Jessi immediately approached him, letting the blanket fall to the floor, leaving her body exposed.

"What is it?" Jessi put her arms around Steven's neck.

"Nothing, I just can't sleep, go to sleep, I'll get a drink," Steven said.

"Hm, are you sure? Kiss me before leaving," Jessi said and closed her eyes ready to receive a kiss from the Alpha.

But Steven just pecked her lips and removed Jessi's hand from his neck before leaving his room. This made Jessi confused because she could feel Steven's coldness towards her again after the past few days they seemed very close.

When Steven was downstairs, he saw one of his trusted men, Bob, coming towards him.

"What is it?" Steven said.

"I think they need you, sir," Bob said.

"Give her that gift tomorrow," Steven said.

"Okay sir," Bob said and he immediately left the mansion and Steven returned to enjoying the can of beer in his hand.

Thinking about what had happened to his family made Steven chuckle, his parents had made him a bad person, and Steven felt that all this time he had been betrayed by his own family.

Even so, Steven determined with himself that he would not do the same thing to his daughter, as Clara asked him to do, Steven would try to get out of his life and start living as a new Steven with his little family, but that only existed in his imagination.

In reality, there were many problems he had to solve first, and all of these problems required his skills which were known to be quite cruel, getting his hands dirty one last time wouldn't change what was inside him.

Even doing something disgusting with Jessi is part of solving the problem for him.
