The Love Trap of the Ruler.
Chapters 221. The woman will never leave her hand again.
“I swear I will put all the interests of the country first rather than the interests of the private. I will carry out my fair duties and uphold the basic rules of the country. And filial to the country.” The oath was immediately uttered from Antony's lips at the emergency inauguration following the resignation of the previous President. Somehow, but no one was against his candidacy.
Antony walked to the front of the state palace which was immediately greeted with cheers from the people who supported him. He waved his hand with his shady smile.
“Thank you for all your support. I couldn't have gone this far without the encouragement of all of you. ” Antony said giving his first words as President that made all times hysterical. “All has gone well. Therefore, I hope you can already feel calm and rest in peace in your respective homes. Now let me and allow me to serve you as best I can. Once again thank you for all your support.” Antony bowed in front of everyone in front of him. Everyone went back hysterically to see a president bowing in front of them all. They feel like they have really picked the right person.
“Sial! He is very smart to do that,” said Stevan who is still furious with Antony. He and Xavier watch the inauguration as well as Antony's speech from the big screen television inside the palace. Only those who did not participate frenetic inauguration.
Xavier just remained silent and did not react. But he agreed with what Stevan said. Antony is very smart to use everything.
...****************...
Graciella bit her lips slightly strongly. Do not believe in overnight Antony can overthrow the position of President and in the morning he has become President. Of course this is a very extraordinary thing.
“That guy, he's very smart to do it,” said Monica who narrowed her eyes to see Antony's behavior in front of the television.
“Sure. His father must have been arranging it from the beginning. If Xavier had followed David's direction, he would have been able to do it too,” said Liliana, who finally found out what was happening in her country.
“Not really. Now I feel grateful Xavier didn't follow in David's footsteps. At least, he sticks with the truth,” said Monica.
“Now you guys just realized it. Already late. I told you never to force my granddaughter. If he wants to be a soldier let it go. After all, both serve the country.” Liliana started to grumble which made Monica just smile. Her mother-in-law is getting chatty.
...****************...
Graciella walked quickly towards the door of her house when she heard and saw the car that stopped right in front of her residence. She quickly opened the door and immediately looked towards her new husband coming down from there.
For some reason, even though Xavier already knew the news that there was nothing there. But Graciella was so relieved that her husband had returned to her. Graciella immediately hugged her husband.
Xavier who was getting a hug from Graciella instantly replied to her. She knew the anxiety Graciella felt. This woman must be worried about what Antony can do to her and Stevan. Although not bringing it up directly, Antony actually feels Xavier and Stevan are an obstacle for him. Therefore before his inauguration, they were specifically called to face.
“What's all okay?” graciella asked looking at her husband's face that looked quite tired. Not rested at all.
“All is well. Hopefully,” said Xavier. Although it seems everything is calm. But this is just like a seemingly peaceful volcano but it could erupt at any moment. “We go in first,” whispered Xavier.
Monica and Liliana who saw Xavier also greeted Xavier as if he had just returned from the battlefield. Xavier cleaned himself up and saw his wife bringing him food.
“Have eaten there?” graciella asked, putting down the food that had already been prepared by their servant.
“What happened?” ask Graciella.
Xavier looked at his wife. The answer is nothing will surely not make his wife satisfied. He must answer everything with honesty. “Antony asked me to come. Me, Stevan and him talking. He implicitly asked me to stop all investigations and asked me and Stevan to support him and not interfere with his life. He also said thanks to you,” Xavier said raising one corner of his lips.
“I'm not even flattered by it.” Graciella was even sorry. He had a hand in this mess. A decision that he thought was easy and small had such a big impact, it became like the Butterfly Effect for Graciella. “Do you support it?”
“Me and Stevan emptied our options. Even if we don't support it. He will still win.”
“He is smart to take the hearts of the people,” said Graciella.
“Yes. Right now everything is safe. If we insist on continuing this case, it's not just us who are in trouble. Peter is the same. At this time we really shouldn't be rash. Antony currently cannot be touched at all,” said Xavier embrace Graciella's body.
“Yes I know. I think so too. For now, let's just keep everything. I'm sure, whoever did it. Will definitely get a reply sooner or later,” said Graciella again leaned spoiled on her husband.
“Let's rest,” said Xavier who began to stretch his body. Graciella slept in her husband's arms. It turned out that he only needed a hug to sleep so soundly.
...****************...
“Mr President, everything is waiting for you,” said Adjutant Antony who called Antony to join his coronation party to be president.
Antony was silent. From his face does not seem the pleasure or happiness that arises even though he has just become the number one person of the country. Antony then sees his other aide.
“Max!” call Antony to his confidant.
“Ya, Mr. President,” said Max immediately sped up. Antony looked at the man while slowly tilting his face. Her lips were flat closed.
“Find the woman until she gets it. Whatever happens, and whatever! I want you to find him! you know what you should do if you've met him. Find him as soon as possible! I want to know, this time how he's going to get away from me!” antony threw a picture of Laura on his desk.
One of the things that made him want to be President just because of that woman. He'll get it and teach him a lesson now. With power. He would never be able to run away from her again.
“Good Mr President!” max immediately took the photo.
Antony took his breath and immediately tidied up his suit. As soon as he came out of his study. His face was tight, immediately there was a friendly smile welcoming everyone who had been waiting for him from earlier. A change so drastic.
