Ella gasped in shock at what Venzo said, as well as everyone else in the place.
"What does that mean?" asked Ella in a displeasure.
Venzo was speechless as he stared intently at Zaron's grandfather as well as the tense-looking Rosa. "A lot of people out there are enemies of this family, they're going to come after you. Which means the baby will also be in danger."
Ella nodded her head with a sigh of relief, as well as the people in that place.
"Yes, anyone can also be hostile to others. Both those who know and those who do not, both near and far. All of that could happen, and I will be careful" Ella said with a smile that made the others smile.
Venzo was silent when he heard what the woman said. This time, she promised to always protect and be by Ella's side, and would not let anything bad happen to her again.
Zaron's grandfather and Rosa were quite surprised by the reaction Venzo gave. They thought the man would go berserk and angry when they found out that Ella was pregnant, but lost instead. Venzo is very worried about Ella and the baby she is carrying.
Then they resumed the dinner which had been delayed, although no one else had any taste.
When they finished, they immediately moved into the living room. However, Venzo immediately left because there was something he had to work on.
"I'll take you forward." Ella wakes up and makes Venzo smile again.
Then they both walked out of the house to where Venzo's car was.
"I'm sorry, Ella. Tomorrow I'll come back,"
"Why are you lying?"
Venzo who was preparing to get into the car was forced to abandon his intentions when he heard Ella's words. "What do you mean?" He frowned confusedly.
"Mr Venzo, I'm actually very curious about you. There's a lot I want to know about you, and our relationship. But, there's one thing that bothers me." Ella smiled as she pulled out her phone from inside the pocket of the dress she was wearing.
"May I have your mobile number? There's so much I want to ask, because it seems like you know a lot about my family." Ella knew that the man's words held a very important meaning, especially when he saw the tension on the faces of his grandfather and aunt.
"I already have your phone number, Ella. I'll call you later" Venzo said, making Ella nod. "Now come in, the night wind is not good for pregnant women."
Ella smiled at Venzo's words, it was unexpected that the man understood the world of women
After seeing Venzo leave, Ella immediately went inside the house and rejoined them.
"How long is it, El? Did he say anything?" asked Zaron's grandfather to make Ella shake her head.
"No, Cake. He just asked for my phone number and was busy asking this that," Ella replied by lying. Ever since hearing Venzo's words, she somehow felt uneasy.
"It's good that he only said such things, since the man was not able to be redeemed." Grandpa Zaron let out a frustrated sigh.
Ella just smiled to respond to what her grandfather said, then she excused her to the room for a quick break.
Meanwhile, Venzo who was on his way appeared to be calling someone.
"Yes, Sir?" answer someone across the phone.
"Good, Sir."
Tut's.
Venzo immediately turned off the call and refocused himself on the streets, and did not linger long until he arrived at a luxurious mansion.
"Good night, sir. Have you eaten?" ask Gio. The butler who had worked for decades with him, even together with his parents.
"It." Venzo stepped into the mansion. The coldness immediately hit him, because it was only him and Gio who lived in that place. While the servants stayed in the house that was behind this mansion.
"Have you met Miss Ella, sir?" gio asked back while following Venzo's steps towards the room.
"Here you go" Venzo answered briefly, concisely and precisely. She always answered other people's questions like that except for Ella.
"Sir, isn't everything going well?" Gio was worried. He knew very well that right now his master was not doing well.
"I'm glad he's back, Gio. But I'm also afraid I can't help myself." Venzo went into the room and threw his ass over the couch.
"Why should you hold back, sir? You have been waiting for him for a long time and this mansion has also begun to be haunted by subtle makhlus, if there are no additional people who live with you."
Venzo immediately clucked in annoyance upon hearing that. "I can't marry her, she's pregnant."
"Ha-pregnant?" Gio jumped in shock. The man who was in his 50s was really surprised. "W-how is that possible, sir?"
"That's it. Forget about all that, and now get out. I want to be alone."
Gio nodded his head. "Alright, Sir. I'm going out." He then walked out of that room.
As Venzo was alone thinking about Ella, he was very worried and also agitated about the girl's situation.
Venzo got up and walked into the bathroom to cool his head. "I have never hesitated to destroy others, but I cannot destroy them." He breathed in frustration.
Yeah, that's what a guy named Venzo Alterio always does. A 28-year-old CEO of the Arter Group. Venzo would not hesitate to destroy anyone who harassed him, without even winking.
Since the age of 13, Venzo had lost his mother to an attack from his father's enemy, and three years later his father also died in a plane crash.
Being an orphan without brothers and family, of course, makes Venzo's soul shaken.
However, there was a girl who reached out to him. The presence of the girl really made the smile that had disappeared now come back again.
