The Love Trap of the Ruler.
Chapters 136. We used to be lovers.
Xavier frowned, Graciella's mannerisms looking like she was embarrassed to look naked in front of her. Didn't they also see each other's innocent bodies?
“I'm done,” said Graciella who immediately came out of the bathroom. Xavier again just silently watched Graciella step up and sit on their bed. Directly wear his clothes. “Now can we talk about what you want to tell me?” the real Graciella asked covering up her nervousness from being carried by Xavier while she was wearing her clothes, in order to shift Xavier's focus, Graciella asked like that.
Xavier pulled the chair from his desk in the corner of the room. Sitting upright in front of Graciella who had just lowered her clothes. Graciella frowned looking at Xavier's serious face.
“I just want to say that if we meet outside without any plans from me at all, then I want you to act as if you don't know me at all,” said Xavier with a tone that is no less serious.
Graciella frowned. “Man is all the same yes, after getting what he wants then want to remove his tracks. Why just say now after we ..” Said Graciella who was upset but didn't know what she had to say, um, maybe sleep together.
“Not, I didn't mean at all like that. I really like you, maybe more than that. But for a while, in front of everyone, we can't be seen together,” explains Xavier who knows Graciella wrongly captured the meaning of his words.
“Then? Oho! Surely a General must maintain his reputation, right? Recently divorced and close to other women, it would be embarrassing. The general? Why do you make me have trouble like this!” graciella. It was so upset that he jumped from his seat. Damnit damnit! How could he be trapped, this man in front of him just wanted to take advantage of him. Indeed men have only one thing, lust and only seek the expulsion of his lust. How could he believe this man was different.
“Graciella, please listen first,” said Xavier who knew Graciella was so upset with him. Of course, they had just slept together, but Xavier instead asked Graciella to pretend she didn't know him.
“What should I listen to again? That's not the reality. You idiot! Gracie's! Why are you so easily manipulated like this!” graciella swore to herself, beating her little forehead. The first time he did it he got drunk and ended up sleeping with an irresponsible man and now, Graciella! Your fate is not good.
“Graciella!” said Xavier who caught Graciella's wrist who looked so angry and upset about this. Xavier knew he was wrong to do this first with Graciella, but the urge and feeling inside his chest, he was completely powerless to hold her back. Graciella who heard Xavier's voice rising instantly fell silent looking at the man.
“Listen to me,” pinta Xavier again trying to lower his tone.
“What else should I listen to?” graciella asked with her eyes turning red. He was so upset he wanted to cry. Seeing that Xavier bit his lip, why did tonight become like this?
“I just don't want them to hurt you anymore knowing you're close to me. I will no longer be able to forgive myself if something happens to you just because of me! They won't let you go if they know we're still in touch,” said Xavier who came out just like that. Naturally Xavier's words made Graciella frown.
“What do you mean? Still related? Are we not just in touch now? then who wants to hurt me? What do you mean by all this?” graciella asked confusedly.
“You believe it or not, but before, we had a relationship, we used to be lovers,” said Xavier which of course made Graciella's facial wrinkles deeper, Graciella even shook her head slowly.
“What kind of a conversation is this? Where maybe we are lovers, if true, I can not forget you,” said Graciella.
But this makes little sense in Graciella's brain. How she felt so familiar with everything this man had. His voice, his body, his nature, even his scent. All Graciella could easily accept and probably right because they used to be lovers. But how? Graciella could not have an affair when she was with Adrean, she hated the woman who became her husband's affair, now she also has a mistress.
“I can't prove it. But we do have the same feeling as we did a few years ago. But because I was still so naive and also had no power. I couldn't take good care of you so they hurt you so badly. They also separate us, but because of something so we both forget everything,” Xavier explained. He did not want to say what had made Graciella forget about him. That event, let him know.
“No way, this story is so weird. I can't possibly forget you,” Graciella said in disbelief.
“I know, but you did forget me. That's why right now I don't want what happened to you to happen again now. So, I'm just asking you to never admit that you recognize me if we meet in front of everyone. Even if they torture me or threaten to kill me in front of you, you have to say that you don't know me and we have no relationship.” Xavier seemed to be saying it so seriously. Gratitude of sadness can be seen Graciella from the look of her eyes that blur.
“Trust me, this is the best thing for us right now. That's why I had to ask you to secretly meet me here, just because I didn't want them to know. Let it stay like this until all my plans are successful. If you can, ask Daren for work outside the city. It will make you safer than in this city,” said Xavier in a slightly contemptuous tone for Graciella to trust him.
“Who are they you referring to earlier?” ask Graciella. He was confused as to why there were people who did not want them to unite? What's problem?
“My parents and Mr. Robert, he is the grandfather of my ex-wife and your ex-husband,”.
“Adrean?” ask Graciella in disbelief. Xavier just nodded slowly. Again, all his life had to do with that man! I don't know what sin he committed for that man!
“Graciella, trust me once again. I didn't use you or make you into a woman of impingement. I really like you. It's just that I have to finish my plan so that we can be together,” said Xavier who immediately hugged Graciella who still seemed shocked and shocked by what she just received.
Too much for him to digest all that. How could they be lovers, then what happened so that Graciella could forget this man just like that but she remembered something else. Graciella has to figure it all out!
