"Adel, don't be afraid. Brother is watching you. If he dares to touch a strand of your hair, I will kill him!" Aksa's words made her much calmer.

Adel got out of the elevator and walked to look for Mario's room number. She stood at the door, knocked on it and didn't move. But no one opened the door for her.

Then she pushed the door slowly.

"Mario.." Adel shouted, but no one answered her.

The room was dark, not a single light was on. Adel didn't dare to rush in. She stood in the corridor and called for Mario, but the man's cell phone was off.

She wasn't sure if Mario was inside. And the bedroom's door is not locked. Had Mario been taken by the guards that Aksa sent before Adel arrived?

She stepped forward and through the door. She didn't turn on the light and the room was filled with a strange atmosphere.

She felt very scared and was about to turn to leave from there. But suddenly, someone strangled her neck with an arm and another person covered her mouth with a handkerchief that smelled strange.

"Ummph..!" Adel struggled to free herself. She was wearing sneakers now and had previously studied self-defense. Before the drug could knock her out, she managed to get away from the person and kicked the man's sensitive part hard.

"Ahhh!" The man shouted in pain.

Adel covered her mouth and nose, not daring to breathe in the air in the room anymore. She also tried to open the door quickly.

But her body felt weak. She looked at the door, but didn't have the strength to open it.

She tried to stay conscious, but she couldn't scream and couldn't fight back.

At that moment, Aksa opened a hidden door and appeared in front of Mario's door.

"Brother..." as soon as Adel saw Aksa, tears streamed down her face.

"Auntie, are you alright?" Mason also came with him.

"Why don't you turn on the light when it's this dark?" Bella also went inside and immediately turned on the light. However, something cold suddenly touched her forehead.

The light immediately shone on the room as well as Mario's face. He held a gun in his hand and the mouth of the gun was pointed at Bella.

"What is this?" When Adrian arrived, he saw Mario holding Bella with a gun.

"Adrian, come in. The others.. Come out. Don't mess around," Mario said with a scary face. His arm grabbed Bella's neck and his gun was still on her head.

When he heard that Bella was going to the hotel to meet Mario, Adrian was worried that something might happen to her so he decided to follow her.

But who would have thought that Mario was pointing his gun at Bella now?

Had he not carried the gun, Aksa and Mason would have immediately beat Mario to a pulp. Besides, Adel came to the place carrying a fishing rod.

However, Mario has a gun and the person he threatens this time is not Adel, but Bella.

"Mario, calm down. I know you want to meet me. Let her go. Bella is young and doesn't know anything. Let me talk to you," said Adrian.

"My father went to the Pratama Group, repeatedly looking for you. Did you know that? This girl stopped him from meeting you, right?" Mario snorted.

Bella kept blinking her eyes at Aksa. She didn't expect Mario to have a gun. She only saw that the room was dark so she helped to turn on the light.

If she had known that by turning on the lamp she would be a prisoner, she would not have entered the room.

Aksa was hugging her sister who was still under the influence of drugs. Adel looked like she had lost consciousness.

"Mario, put down the weapon. We can still solve the problem on good terms," Aksa said coldly.

"I got engaged to Lili first. If it wasn't for you, maybe we would have gotten married this year. All of this is your fault. You hear me, your fault! Trust me, I will kill you now!" Mario shouted like a madman. "All of you come out! Only Adrian can enter!"

"What do you want? Money? Or what? We can give it to you," Mason said calmly.

Mario lost his temper and hit Bella in the head with the butt of his gun. The girl then screamed in pain.

"Don't hit me! I don't know anything. Don't hit me!" Bella is just a 19 year old girl who doesn't know anything. The pain immediately made her cry.

"Mario, you bastard! Don't touch her!" Aksa really wanted to hit Mario's head.historical

"Go out! Close the door!" Mario said. When he was about to hit Bella's head again, Adrian immediately pushed Mason and Aksa out of the room and closed the door.

There were only the three of them in the room and Bella kept crying out of fear.

"Don't cry! Shut up. You're so noisy. If you don't zip your mouth soon, I will shoot you!" Mario shouted angrily.

"In Indonesia, owning a gun is a crime. Your father deserves to be in jail for what he did. But you are young and your future is still long ahead. You shouldn't do something like this," Adrian said calmly.

"My father is your grandfather. Adrian, do you think that if you don't admit it, you can erase your relationship with the Hermawan Family?" Mario looked at him in disappointment.

"I don't have the right to choose my parents, but I do have the right to choose who I want to be close to. Did you want to meet because of the blood relation, or because I have the Pratama Group now?" Adrian stepped forward.

"Stand there. Don't come close. If you take one more step, I will kill her!" Mario shouted at Adrian.

But Adrian did not stop walking and continued to walk in front of him. After that, he held Bella's hand gently. "Don't be afraid, Bella, I will definitely save you."

"Brother, my head hurts," Bella looked at Adrian helplessly. Tears streamed down her face.

She reached out her hand and touched the large lump on her head. And then she cried even louder.

"Let her go. You hurt her," Adrian didn't care even though Mario was holding a gun in his hand. He pushed him hard and snatched Bella from his grip.

Adrian hugged Bella gently and helped her to sit on the sofa. He immediately took an ice cube from the refrigerator and wrapped it in a towel. After that, he gently pressed it on Bella's head.

"Don't be afraid. Hold this." Adrian stood in front of the sofa, letting Bella lean on him while still holding the compress on her head.

As he did this, Mario kept his gun and aimed at Adrian, but he didn't shoot.

"Why don't you shoot?" Adrian turned and looked at him.

"I don't want to kill you. Besides my father, you are my only family in this world," said Mario.

Adrian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Mario say this. That answer lets him know that Mario is not completely a bad person like his father.

He was just too disappointed and that disappointment had blinded his eyes.

"Aren't you tired of holding that gun all the time? How about sitting down and chatting?" Adrian said.

Mario took a chair and sat across from the sofa. He kept his gun and pointed it at Bella.

"I.. I am his sister! You can't kill me!" Bella hugged Adrian's waist nervously and slightly showed her head, looking at Mario.
