Love In Trauma's
Be wounded

Max opened the door carefully. He had to check on Leana inside. Max's room looked empty. Max is looking for Leana around every corner. He searched the walk in closet, the balcony and the bathroom. But Leana doesn't exist.

"Le.. Leana.." cried Max panicked. He's out of the room. If Leana doesn't jump, that means Leana's gone from this house.

Vero looked at Max from below who was clamoring like a madman.

"Indeed the stubborn boy. Why did you marry that woman?" said cynical Vero.

Max ran and checked the room one by one. Leana's not anywhere. Max picks up the phone in his pocket to check the CCTV in every corner of the house. This method is more practical than running around unclear. Max researched each camera. And finally Max found the girl in the basement, precisely in the shark aquarium. Max pressed the elevator door impatiently. He had to catch up with Leana before the woman ran away again.

'Ting' elevator doors open. Max arrives at the shark aquarium that resembles a mini seaworld. The aquarium is not as big as seaworld, but it contains medium-sized sharks and several other marine fish. The place was very cold and quiet. Max often spends time here just looking at his shark while calming the mind.

She found Leana looking at her fish as well. He chuckled at the dancing stingrays before his eyes.

Max was stunned to see the beauty of Leana who was laughing. But, he immediately regained consciousness and approached the woman carefully.

"Leana." call her.

Leana's expression instantly changed as soon as she saw Max was already there.

"Don't come any closer" said Leana while retreating regularly.

"Look Le, I'm not gonna hurt you." Max did not come closer and remained still in place. "I just wanted to call you for dinner."

"I don't want to."

Max tried to calm down. He must remember Ericka's words. Leana is hurt. And the wound is deep enough. Max must not add salt to Leana's wounds, instead he must bandage the deep wounds with bandages. Although it wasn't Max that stained Leana, but Max was also involved. If Max had not followed Marco's ridiculous idea, nothing would have happened.

"Le, please trust me. I won't touch you, so you don't have to be afraid." Max tries to re-compromise with Leana. "We are married and have to trust each other" Max continued

"Until now I won't be your wife."

Leana's loud and painful remarks certainly made Max's blood pressure rise. Just this time there's a woman talking so rudely to Max. If Leana wasn't in a state of trauma, Max would have already dragged the woman upstairs. But, this time Max had to use his common sense.

"I'll go up first. If you don't go upstairs and catch up, I'll bring the food back here" Max said with emphasis. "Now it's up to you."

After Max finishes his conversation with Leana, he re-enters the elevator without taking his eyes off the woman.

Leana breathes a sigh of relief after Max disappears. He saw anger in Max's face. That guy was really terrible. How could Leana continue her life after this? He won't be able to get away from Max. And Max is right. They are already tied up in husband and wife status.

Leana could not cry anymore. Ericka wouldn't give him medicine either. And Aunt Marie could not be reached. Leana should practice not taking sedatives and sleeping pills. So now the only way, Leana has to face this.

The dining room is empty. Leana looked throughout the room. The occupants of this house have not seen the trunk of his nose. He walked into the kitchen because he smelled very good food.

Gina almost screams to find Leana in the kitchen. Moreover, Leana's appearance is quite sad with black eye bags like pandas.

"Miss, don't come here. Later I was scolded by Mr. Max." said Gina fearfully.

"What are you doing?" leana asked Gina.

"I'm making Salmon steak asparagus for the main course" explained Gina timidly.

"Then, the appetizer and the dessert?"

"I just make lemon garlic butter scallops and for dessert ice cream only that's practical."

"May I help you?" Leana felt excited when she saw the food that would be plated.

"Miss, I'll be angry." Gina held Leana's hand that was about to hold the plate.

"That man won't scold Aunty." Leana took a beautiful plate on the shelf for the dish to be served.

Deftly, Leana arranged cherry tomatoes and vegetables in the middle of the plate, then put 2 scallops in each plate. After that, he sprinkled the parsley and put edible flowers on it. Gina was so amazed by Leana's creative power that they made their dishes into a 5-star restaurant. Leana asks Gina to get rid of her appetizer plate. He then spread the steak sauce across the middle of the plate. Leana took the mashed potato, then put the salmon steak on it. Asparagus, Leana put it on the edge.

Gina and the other waitresses call Leana because they feel like watching masterchef live.

After finishing her main course, Leana moved to dessert. He took out a glass and filled it with pieces of fruit. He also chopped cashews in a jar, put them in one, then poured Greek yogurt.

"For her dessert, Auntie just put ice cream in her glass." Leana smiled at Gina after finishing her work quickly.

"Well, lady is amazing." Gina clapped her hands. So is the waiter in the kitchen. "Did you like to decorate like this?"

"I'm a chef, Bi." Leana took off her apron, then returned to the front with a much better feeling.
