Novel Sweet
Chapter 45
After their father and son bonding, Steven took Hivo to Ria at RLC.
“Sorry, we’re late,” Steven said who couldn’t look at Ria. He’s asking himself if he will ask her about Stefanny but he is dominated by the fear that Ria will confirm that she is indeed her daughter with Vios.
“No. It’s okay,” Ria replied who didn’t know how to start explaining to Steven about Stefanny.
“Ahm, I’ll go ahead,” Steven
“Is that so? Oh.. Alright,” Hivo looked at them, surprised. It’s his first time to see his parents talk after 3 years.
“Bye dad,”
“Bye buddy. Next time, let’s go hiking,” he replied smiling to his son while ruffling the boy’s hair.
When Steven arrived at his company, he immediately called Jamie. Jamie is one of his longest employees in the company. Steven can’t say anything about his work because it’s clean and organized. But things are different now, he needs to clean the mess and throws the garbage away.

Steven Marcus Alvante
“Jamie, come with me,” I looked at him seriously. He’s smiling, showing me his teeth. A very punctual person but not that loyal.
I smirk when I thought that I am taking care of parasites in my company.
“Where are we going sir?” he asked politely.
“Business,” I replied shortly. I secretly contacted Ben. Good thing, I have a very loyal and trusted friends.
“Oh… okay,”
Seriously, I really wanted to punch his face. I would have punched him by now if it will not ruin my plan.
Damn that b*tch! It’s all her fault. So now, I’m trying to locate her men. I need to track them and erase them from the world. They don’t deserve to live.
“Standby,” I said when I saw the green signal on my phone. It means that Ben and Diego’s men are now on standby.
“Jamie,” I called him.
“Yes sir?”
“Have you received an important email?”
“Email? Yes, but whose email is it?” he asked. Pretending again, I see.
“Hmm.. My son’s email?” I said. Trying to keep my ass.
“Pardon sir? Didn’t your son die 3 years ago?”
I looked at his reflection in the mirror. He’s stressed. He keeps on making his necktie to loose. We’re on the car now, going to hell.
“Oh? Really? I thought he sent you an email.” I laughed but this time, he couldn’t hide the nervousness on his face.
I stopped my car in the road. I turned to his direction and fears were written all over his face.
“Get down or I’ll kill you,” I said with full of authority. He trembled in fear. Like a wet chick. By now, he knows that I know everything.
“Don’t try to make something that will make me angry!”

THIRD PERSON
When Hivo got home, he quickly went to his sister who was now in the living room playing alone with his dolls. Hivo is holding the doll that Steven bought.
“Hivoooo!” Stefanny ran to her older brother who was carrying the big doll in the box.
Hivo hugged her and excitedly showed the toy.
“Wow, it’s beautiful,” Stefanny said happily while looking at the toy.
“It’s a gift from papa,” he said to his sister.
Hivo knows that his father is only Steven. But because he grew up with Vios, he got used to calling him papa as well. The only difference is, he knows that he is not his real father.
“Papa?” Stefanny asked, confused.
“Yes Pane. Papa. Our real papa,”.
“Brother, we have papa already,” she said. Hivo knew what his sister was talking about.
“Yeah but papa Vios is not our real father,”
“What? No! Papa is my real father”,
Stefanny’s eyes began to cry because of what Hivo said. She does not want to accept that Vios is not her real father.
Ria keeps on saying that Vios is their uncle but to her youngest, Vios is her real dad.
“Hey, why are you crying?” Hivo asked worriedly.
“You’re a bad brother,”
“I’m sorry,”
“Why did you say papa is not our real father? Stefanny is sad. You are bad”
She let go of the doll she’s holding and ran to her nanny.
“It’s a big trouble,” Hivo said to himself while looking at her sister.
At night, when Ria came home, Stefanny immediately reported to her about what Hivo said.
“Mama, Hivo is bad,” she started crying again.
She sighed because she knew it would be difficult for Stefanny to accept the fact that Vios is not her father.
“It’s okay honey, Hivo didn’t mean to hurt you,”
It didn’t take long for Stefanny to fall asleep in Ria’s arms so she immediately laid her on the bed.
“Hivo, let’s talk,” she called to Hivo.
Hivo went to her.
“About your fight last time, I didn’t like that. But then, your teacher already explained to me what happened,” Ria.
After she left Hivo with Steven that day, Hivo’s teacher called her and told her the reason why her son got into a fight with his classmate.
“It’s okay mama. I’m sure they won’t bully me again cause papa is already here,” Hivo replied happily.
Ria is happy that her son’s reaction is like that. The reason why Hivo got into a fight with his classmates was because he was told hurtful words.
They indeed provoked Hivo. The only thing they don’t know was, Hivo turned on the sound recorder on his phone hidden in the bag. So he had an evidence to prove that he did not start the fight.
And Ria doesn’t know if she should be proud of her son or not for that matter.
“I’m happy that you’re happy son. Anyway, can mom ask you a favour?”.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
“What is it mom?”
“Is it okay for you not to mention your dad to Stefanny?”
“Why?”
“Let mama tell her the truth son. Your sister is still a child. She can’t just accept everything easily. Unlike you, you’re a grown up now. But her, she’s still a baby so please let mama explain to her about your dad. Is that okay?”
Hivo understands everything so he nods to his mother’s request.
“Thank you, darling. Go back to your room. You still have school tomorrow,”
“Good night mom”
“Goodnight my baby,” Ria replied softly as Hivo kissed her cheek.
The next day, Steven got ready right away. He won’t go to work today.
He wears his casual clothes while carrying a basket of fruits and flowers. He’s hoping that Hannah will recognize him.
His sweet, kind and beautiful sister is gone. Hannah is ill because of trauma.
So he never stops chasing everyone who made Hannah like that.
