Scratches of Wound in Fiona's Heart
Punishment For Sera

After being treated for 3 days in the hospital, Steve immediately asked Erick to take care of his return. While Steven was waiting for Erick to take care of the procedure out of the hospital, a woman entered his room.

"Steve, how are you?" A woman with long hair, a sharp nose and tiny lips walked towards Steven with a sweet smile.

Hearing a familiar voice, Steven immediately raised his head. "It's fine." Steven put the phone in bed and then looked back at the woman in front of him.

"Am I bothering you?" ask the woman softly.

"No, sit down" Steven replied, pointing his hand at the chair on the right side of the bed. "How are you?"

"I'm good." The woman sat on the chair gracefully, "your mother said you'd be out of the hospital today."

"Yeah." Yeah."

The woman smiled back. "Steve, about our arranged marriage, not me...."

Before the woman finished her speech, Steven had already cut her off first. "I know, it was my mother and your parents' plan."

The woman nodded with a smile. "I just don't want you to misunderstand me" said the woman softly.

"Sonia, I just want to straighten things out." Steven paused for a moment before continuing, "actually, I already love another woman, I still can't forget her." Steven deliberately said that so that Sonia did not expect him too much.

"I know, your mother told me."

Steven looked at Sonia with an illegible expression. "Are you going to back out of this match?"

Sonia looked down for a moment while tidying her hair and then smiled at Steven. "If you don't want this match, then you can cancel it, but I can't refuse my parents' will. I will respect whatever your decision is" Sonia replied calmly.

"Sonia, even though we can finally get married, there will be no love for you. Don't you mind that?" asked Steven with a serious face.

"I don't mind that. Isn't that common among us? We cannot determine our own life partner because of the status we hold. I knew from the beginning our marriage was just a marriage with a business background, like the marriage of my parents and your parents who married without love, but in the end they can live happily until now. I can only accept my parents' arrangements."

Steven let out a subtle sigh hearing Sonia's reply. The woman he had known since childhood did indeed have a kind and calm personality. He is not like Sera who is passionate if she wants something.

"I'm just afraid you'll get hurt later."

"Steve, I admit that I really like you, but I also don't want to force you if you don't want to marry me. I'm a woman, I can only wait. If we are not destined to marry, it means we are not a match. I will accept with a chest. After all, my life is not only centered around love issues. There are many things that make me happy besides that. I have children who love me that's more than enough for me."

That's what Steven likes about Sonia. He has an open mind and not a narrow one. He could always react to it wisely even if it was not to his liking. Sonia herself besides being the sole heir of her father's company, she is also the owner of the foundation she founded from her own efforts.

He did love small children and a high social soul so his heart was moved to set up an orphanage for abandoned and incapacitated children. In addition to work, she spends her time with orphanage children. Not infrequently he went down directly to the streets to find abandoned children and needed shelter.

He also became a regular donor at several small orphanages that needed financial support. He also set up schools that were in the country for free.

Sonia figure is indeed very perfect and became the dream of many men from various circles. Unfortunately, no man has been able to conquer his heart other than Steven. In addition, due to his wealth and high family status that makes it difficult for men to approach him.

"Well, if that's your decision. At least you know about my feelings. I will fight for my love once more, if if she does not want to come back to me, I will accept this match. I'll go straight to your parents as long as you don't mind if I can't give you my heart."

Sweet smile on Sonia's beautiful face. "I don't mind that. I'll wait for your answer."

Steven nodded. "Then I go home first" said Sonia standing up.

"Be careful."

The door opened when Sonia was coming home. "Sonia, what is the meaning of the news in the media? You want to marry Steven?" Sera came with a face that was flushed with anger.

"Sera, that's not my will," Sonia replied gently.

"Sera, don't make a fuss here" Steven interrupted when he saw the fiery gaze from Sera.

"Steve, don't you know that I love you so much, but why did you choose her over me? In the past, when there was Fiona, I could still understand why you rejected me, but now Fiona is gone, but why do you even want to marry Sonia? I was by your side first, couldn't you see my sacrifice that I've made to you? He just came after so long gone, but he just so easily wanted to take you away from me."

Sonia has been abroad for a long time, she studied abroad since High School and after graduating from college, she took over her father's company abroad just like Steven. He had just returned two years ago to his country.

"I won't leave until you promise to call off your match." Sera turned to Sonia, "Sonia, stay away from Steven, he is mine, don't you dare to snatch it from me. I won't stay silent until you don't let go of Steven" Sera threatened.

"Seraa...! Don't provoke my emotions, go. Don't you dare touch Sonia. I'm not the old Steven who can forgive you if you make a mistake. This time, I'll punish you if you do something to Sonia."

Hearing that, Sera grew increasingly furious with Sonia, she had worked hard to get rid of Fiona, but now it was just that someone else had come along at will and wanted to snatch Steven from her.

"Steve, you're defending women***** this!"

"Seraa.. watch what you say! Apologize to Sonia" Steven said in a high voice.

"I don't want to!"

Sonia exhaled a smooth breath from her nose. "Steve, stop. I'm fine." Sonia turned to look at Sera, "to be honest I don't want to interfere with your problems with Steven. I just want to straighten something out. Steven wasn't your girlfriend, so I didn't take anyone from you. After all, I never forced Steven to marry me, so don't accuse me so recklessly."

"Sonia, you better go home. Don't mind Sera."

Sonia. "I'll go home first." After saying goodbye Sonia immediately walked towards the door leaving Sera who stared hatefully at her.

"Sera, gohome. I don't want to be disturbed." Steven's back to his cell phone.

Sera walked over to Steven. "Steve, there's something important I want to talk to you about."

"What?"

"Are you really the one who made my papa bangrut?" ask Sera.

"Yeah."

"Steve, why do you have to do this to my family? Don't you know that because of you, my father is currently in the hospital for a heart attack. Do you really want to kill my father!!" sera shouted with a face that was already filled with anger.

"It was his own fault for protecting your faults" Steven replied indifferently.

"Whatchu mean? What did I do that you did that way?"

Steven put down his phone then stared intently at Sera. "I already know that you kidnapped Fiona and tortured her before you handed her over to James. I only asked your father to turn you in to the police, but he's protecting your crime. I'm just giving you a little warning. I still remember all your kindness all this time, so I still ask your father well to persuade you to give up but he won't let me down."

Sera's eyes widened and her body stiffened accompanied by the pounding of a fast-paced heart. "So, did you know that I told people to kidnap Fiona?"

"Yaaa, you better surrender immediately to yourself, this is the last good I can do for you because it remembers your kindness all along. If in 2 days you don't turn yourself in to the police, not only will you bear it, but your family will too. I'll make sure the family is poor and has nothing left and I'll make it impossible for your family to live in this country" Steven threatened.

Sera ran towards Steven then knelt under his bed. "I beg Steve, I'm sorry. I admit I was wrong, please don't disturb my family. I'm sorry Steve, please forgive me," asked Sera while fusing with her palm in front of her chest with tears already pouring down her cheeks.

"Get yourself, that's all that can save your family" Steven said coldly.

"But Steve, I don't want to be in jail."

"If you don't want to, then I'll be forced to drag you down. I'll make sure you won't be able to get out of there if I do" Steven said, looking down at Sera, who was begging on his knees.

"I'll do whatever you ask but go to jail. Please Steve, I'm sorry just this once. Remember how I've been doing mommy all this time. Please forgive me just once. I promise I won't do it again. I beg Steve," said Sera as she grabbed Steven's hand but was immediately pushed aside by him.

When he heard the door open, Steven turned his head. "Rick, drag Sera away. It looks like he can't be spoken to properly. Hand him over to the police and the evidence" Steven ordered.

Erick nodded and walked towards Sera. "Steve, please forgive me one more time Steve I beg you not to imprison me. I'm sorry Steve... Steveee..!!!" sera shouted as Erick dragged himself forcibly.

"I'm sorry mohoooon, Steve... Steveee..!!!"

Steven paid no attention to Sera's cry begging him for mercy with a face filled with tears.

Seriate....
