Heavy footsteps approached them.
Alarmed, Steven stood in defense of Bella and Linny, his fists
clenching and his muscles bulging under his suit.
Linny was scared stiff, but Bella kept her composure. As her eyes fixated on the three men, Bella held Linny tighter in her arms.
The leader of the group was Winston.
Bella had been around the block before. She could tell from a quick
once-over that the man was no pushover.
“Who are you?” Steven hissed through clenched teeth.
Tilting his head, Winston looked past Steven to stare at Bella. His
voice was flat. “You must be Ms. Thompson.”
“I am Bella Thompson.” Bella was the one and only.
“Oh, you’re as pretty as they say.”
Winston grinned sinisterly. “Shame that it won’t be for long.”
Bella gritted her teeth as rage consumed her.

Bella gave Linny a nudge before turning to Steven with determination.
“I’ll stay to help. You’re no match for them on your own.”
“Ms. Bella.” Steven looked deep into Bella’s eyes, swept away by a
moment of zeal.
He and Bella were important companions to each other.
Steven would have a wife and children in the future, but Bella would
remain special and irreplaceable in his heart.
She was once his first love.
Now, he had undying devotion for her.
Linny did not want to just run and hide, but she knew that she was of
no help and would only become a burden to them.
