The Love Trap of the Ruler.
Chapter 116 - The wound that hurts. Eyes that look inside.
The fragrance of Lavender flowers directly touched Graciella tat's nose when she entered the room with a comfortable European feel. A King Bed-sized bed with white sheets paired with gray looks so luxurious. Five high-looking windows decorate the reading room located next to the main bed. The view immediately shows the swimming pool of this house.
Graciella frowned looking at a bookcase that looked unsuitable placed blocking the middle window. It caught his attention to get close to the closet.
Xavier who from earlier also observed the room that seemed very neat it immediately turned his eyes when he saw Graciella going in a direction.
Greciella looked at the closet. A trace scratches on the wood Vinyl floor showed the cabinet had been moved out of place. Graciella took a photo of the scratches and also took a photo of a strange-looking closet covering the window of the luxurious room.
"What did you get?" tanya Xavier stood watching Graciella's behavior. The more he watched her the more he couldn't cover up his curiosity. What's on this woman's mind?
Graciella looked at the man standing by putting one of her hands into her pants pocket. Seeing that Graciella can actually read her body gestures that she does not care or is hiding something.
“Some things I need for investigation,” Graciella said. After all, he did not always have to be unfriendly with this man. However, he can also be a source of information for the disclosure of this case.
Xavier just silently looked at the woman whose gaze had shifted towards the pile of books next to a sofa. He kept silent and kept an eye on Graciella's movements. Xavier suddenly dropped his focus on the long scar on Graciella's cheek as the woman flicked her short bob-cut shoulder-length hair, then she styled her hair behind her ear. From earlier the wound was not so visible because it was covered by Graciella's black and thick hair. Xavier frowned, what had already caused this woman to get such a long wound.
But, Xavier had to suppress his curiosity. He couldn't have suddenly asked about it. She and this woman are not strangers.
Graciella picked up one of those books that was dominated by romance novels. As Graciella pulls the book a piece of brochure falls to the floor. Graciella took it and looked at the contents of a brochure that turned out to be from a special hospital of beauty and plastic surgery. Graciella took the brochure and took a quick look at the photo. Family photos of the victim. Then he quickly stepped towards the walking closet wardrobe that was on the other side of the bed.
Graciella then looked inside the walking closet wardrobe. All the belongings of the victim and her husband are neatly arranged and also side by side. The victim's belongings are on the right side of Graciella and her husband's belongings are on his left side. An extremely beautiful crystal lamp hung in the middle. Really a beautiful walking closet.
Graciella began to observe the victim's belongings. Everything is neat and clean. It can be concluded that the victim is a slick person and also likes cleanliness. Graciella's attention moves towards the victim's husband's belongings. From the outside everything looked the same as his wife's. Graciella observed again, all the items in this walking closet are expensive and famous branded items.
Graciella then interested to see the collection of expensive hours owned by the husband of the victim. Starting from tens of millions to hundreds of millions. Graciella just nodded. Both have very good taste.
“I want to check this,” Graciella said. This place is in his responsibility. So Graciella has to ask permission first.
Xavier did not reply, only extending his hand showing the gesture giving permission for Graciella to do what she wanted to do. Graciella who saw that immediately opened the watch's storage. Be careful he takes out that fancy clock spot.
Graciella's attention fell on Daniel Wallington's watch with a brown leather strap and a white inside. He checked the clock hole. Slightly damaged skin indicates that this clock is a clock that is often used by the husband of the victim. Graciella simply frowned while clasping the clock. From his face he seemed to be thinking.
Graciella who was thinking was suddenly shocked by the warm air that just appeared from behind her. The cold air from the room was in stark contrast to the heat. The delicate fragrance of woody immediately entered into his nose. Graciella was suddenly riveted. Somehow kissing and also feeling the existence of it makes Graciella's heart beat faster. Instantly made him nervous.
“What do you see?” whispered Xavier who deliberately positioned his head right next to Graciella's head. He wanted to see what this woman was about to see until she was so serious.
Of course the sound and roar of breath caught by Graciella's ear right next to her made Graciella really shocked. He didn't think this guy would do that. Graciella immediately tried to dodge but she was instead obstructed by the closet.
“Why nervous?” tanya Xavier looked at Graciella's eyes looking at him and also saw Graciella's breath more hunting. Graciella had no idea why she was so nervous and also her heart felt like it was about to jump out, revolting from her ribs. It made it difficult for him to breathe.
“Who is nervous? I'm just surprised by your behavior! don't do! you're like a serial killer!” said the original Graciella who spoke while turning her body back to Xavier and put the clock back. But because she was nervous, Graciella struggled to put the clock in again .
Xavier who was standing in front of Graciella only frowned. Where did he come from like a serial killer? Xavier slowly helped Greciella insert the watch from behind. Graciella certainly was stifled. He felt like he was being hugged from behind by this man.
"Already," said Xavier noticed the face of the woman he could admit turned out to look quite attractive even though it was very innocent and did not cover everything including the wound on his cheek that somehow was too disturbing for him. For some reason he could feel the pain whenever he saw the long wound.
"Ehm, yes, " said Graciella who unconsciously looked at Xavier who was now so close to her.
