CHAPTER 43
A small box containing an open ring on top of the mini bar. It had been two hours that Dylan looked at the sparkling object accompanied by a bottle of wine. He vented all disappointments, raving alone under the floodlights with music playing, portraying the mood of a Dylan Manassero.
Dylan looked at the MacBook, rereading one by one the reports he received from the men. All the information had been received but Dylan was at a loss as to which one he should go first. His girlfriend's family has several residences in different countries, all of which show no certainty where Stephanie is.
Even Dylan had to order his men to go to some country, looking for his royal girl.
Forced he had to spend money for the sake of women, when the company's financial condition is unstable. Dylan sold off some of his assets, the beloved sports car he used to change hands tonight.
“Baby where are you? I need you dear.” Dylan in my heart. He did not care about being considered weak and indeed the reality was like this. Originally hovering above the clouds, it now had to fall down very deeply.
Doesn't it mean that his struggle has won the attention and heart of Stephanie? Even Dylan had a dispute with the Great Lord Manassero, until finally pocketing the green light to confuse the choice of heart women.
And …
Now what should he tell his father? If I'm honest, Dylan was embarrassed for failing to bring his future wife back to the Manassero Mansion in Madrid City.
This man looked at Stephanie's radiant face on the phone screen, a sense of loss deeply piercing into the chest. Dylan admitted that it was not the first time to live the day without his girlfriend, but before this they could still connect on the phone and remain under his supervision.
But now different, in addition to disappearing, his love also did not get the blessing of the prospective father-in-law.
“Mr... excuse me, we have a report that the Bradleys are ensnaring, and reporting Mr. Graham for a layered crime as well as Young Miss Martinez. Actually Lord Martinez would like to ask for your help, to free Miss Chloe.” Obviously Han gave some of his former candidate-in-law's voice records.
“No negotiations Han. Stephanie left because of Chloe, ah come on, I don't accept anything related to them.” Dylan's legs, rising from the mini bar, carry a beautiful diamond ring belonging to the late Mrs Manassero.
“Tomorrow morning we return to Madrid. Daddy issues and work will not be finished alone.” Said to Han. Dylan went up to the second floor entering the room, too many memories inside this penthouse let alone the room. Dylan misses hugging his girl's body.
Dylan combed through the entire room, smiling wryly in light of what had happened. Even the fragrance of her maiden perfume was still left, all Stephanie's makeup supplies filled the dresser.
If it is on schedule and there are no obstacles, Dylan should be enjoying a romantic dinner with his girl in the penthouse, celebrating the proposal he prepared.
But that plan was before Dylan found out Chloe had kidnapped her lover.
Dylan lay on the bed, staring at the empty side, usually as Stephanie slept there. Now there is only the wind and turmoil of the heart, whether until when to be able to survive with all this.

Mansion Bradley – Jakarta
Stephanie sat watching a few series, all very boring there was nothing interesting to listen to.
Actually he also did not want to leave, but looking at some events that always came, made him think not to maintain the relationship. Being with Dylan would only add to the problem.
“Why you baby?” mama Samantha asked, seeing that her daughter had no spirit and looked lethargic. A few months of punishment changed Stephanie's attitude.
“Mama listen, if the grown man who came to the hospital yesterday, he's your girlfriend huh? Where do you know? Tell all to mama.” Pinta Samantha, judging Dylan is not a bad man and quite worthy of being close friends with his daughter.
But Stephanie did not answer, instead pretending to be sleepy and lay down on a soft mattress, enveloped until covered all over her body.
“Would I sleep?” stephanie said in a lethargic voice.
“Oh of course darling, you have to rest. Mama out first yes.” Samantha understands her daughter is still in shock over the kidnapping, and then being forced to separate from the man who accompanied her days is difficult.
Samantha hears Papa Adam saying that Dylan is not a good man, he only dates women to be bedmates, not loved with the heart. Even the man was famous as Casanova in Spain, especially Madrid, no matter how many women became his lover.
Papa Adam doesn't want his daughter to fall into the arms of a man without commitment like Dylan. Even moving Stephanie's studies to Jakarta, all aimed to keep her daughter away from Dylan.
Not only that, all the information related to Stephanie was sealed off. Maybe they'll meet but not anytime soon, because Dylan needs time to find Stephanie.
In the room, Stephanie deletes all of Dylan's photos stored in the phone's memory, none of which remain. Clean without a trace, even some of Dylan's messages were erased, first blocking Dylan and Han's numbers.
“Sorry Dylan, but indeed this relationship should not exist, I am only a temporary guest. You don't hurt Chloe, you guys were together for more than three years and my presence just ruined everything.” Stephanie said before deleting the last photo.

“Kak, can I come in?” Steve pops a part of his head, he has a special mandate to comfort his heartbroken brother.
“Hemm, enter Steve. What was? If you want to entertain you should not, because I do not need entertainment, I am fine.” Stephanie rests her head on the back of the bed, she still pretends nothing happened and she feels fine.
“Who would like to entertain? I'm just worried. My beautiful sister long time did not enjoy the luxury facilities.” Later Steve opened the jar containing snacks on the nightstand, then fed his brother.
“But your skin remains well-groomed, you must be working very hard to buy skincare, right?” looking at Steve, he wanted to know what Dylan did to his brother, so he could change Stephanie's attitude like this.
“Of course I work, you will never feel how difficult it is to live far without pocket money and family luxury. Besides there is a nice guy who helps me and is willing to give me a place to stay.” Stephanie recalled Dylan, her face turning lethargic no longer excited.
“Forget Steve don't discuss that, I want to know how the development of the kidnapping case?” Stephanie is reluctant to discuss anything related to Dylan. It was like opening a wound that he had just closed tightly.
