The Love Trap of the Ruler.
Chapter 231. How's things?
“Nona, this is your food.” A waitress placed a tray of food on a table near Laura sitting down. He shook his head silently staring at the gray-colored wall. Empty views.
The waiter then looked at the plate and the food he had brought this morning. Not touched in the least. It seems like this Miss didn't eat it at all.
“Nona, you don't have breakfast?” the waiter looked at Laura. Last night this woman did not eat or drink what she was carrying.
Laura was silent. But soon he stared at the servant. His face was quite pale with puffy eyes from crying all night.
“I don't want to eat unless Antony comes here,” Laura said flatly.
“Mr President is going for an out-of-country visit. He was there for more than three days. If you are waiting for him. Then you won't eat three days. Better enjoy this food. No need to torture ourselves and trouble us.” Max suddenly appears from the colored iron door in harmony with the wall.
Laura looked at the creepy man. From the beginning he had a feeling that this man did not like him. His words and treatment were sometimes sniffy and harsh. That's why he didn't want to get in touch with this guy.
“Let's go,”'s indifferent Laura.
“You can be dehydrated if you do not eat and drink for a long time,” the maid said with a little worry.
Laura knows. Of course he knows. He was not a doctor before. He knew the body could survive several weeks without food. But without a drink, just a few days. But he doesn't want to eat and drink now. Not because he likes the food. Eating it was more than the food in a five-star restaurant. Even more complete with vegetables and fruit.
But this is the form of protest. He's been kidnapped, forced, now locked up like a criminal. He knew he was wrong, but it wasn't that he shouldn't be treated like this. Let's just say the thought of being held in this forever makes it very frustrating. Not to mention Antony's threats to his parents. If he was right to tell his parents he was dead. He thinks it's better he's really dead.
This time she felt how Graciella felt. Even just like this she was already thinking about dying, how else would Graciella feel about losing her daughter first.
Max took a deep breath looking at Laura's silence. “Leave it. If we don't eat, it's not our fault. We have served him well. Let it go.”
Max glanced at Laura who was back in silence hugging her knees while looking at the gray wall. The waitress picked up the breakfast plate and came out as Max was already waiting for her. Before long, the sound of the iron door slamming was strong. Makes Laura a little surprised.
Laura swallowed her bitter-tasting saliva. Her tears that arrows were flowing back. What's wrong if he doesn't want to marry that guy? What's wrong if she runs off to find her pleasure. What's wrong if he can't love Antony?
Laura again shivered at the effects of the sugar deficiency she was starting to feel. In fact, he was crying and he was not strong. His stomach was burning this morning. It's so painful that it feels like maybe her stomach is starting to digest itself.
Laura chose to lay her body down. Slowly until he lost consciousness. Either asleep or fainted. Even he didn't realize it.
...****************...
Antony just got off his presidential plane. Three days of work visits to other countries kept her so busy that she could only get to know about Laura from Max's report. He also could not check CCTV, because the phone he was carrying was not a cell phone that could monitor his condition.
Adelia walked slowly behind her husband. Fortunately, it was late enough that they did not have to pretend to be friendly in front of all the reporters. They immediately got into the car and drove towards the Presidential Palace.
“How's my horse doing?” ask Antony who can only contact Max after eighteen hours of travel without news. Horses are their code for Laura.
“At the moment he is calm in his cage Sir,” reports Max.
“Good.” Antony immediately disconnected the call.
Adelia glanced at her husband. Whether since when or indeed she who does not know her husband well. But during this journey. Adelia caught that Antony several times inquired about her ‘kuda’. This guy really likes it.
“Since when did you have a pet?” ask Adelia softly. Typical himself.
“Newly.”
“Oh, may I meet him. I also like horses from small.”
“Better don't.” Antony glanced at Adelia seriously. But suddenly one corner of his lips rose. “He has not been tamed.”
Adelia saw that a little surprised. For a few months she had never even seen Antony smile at her. But tonight, even if only for a brief moment. He became very happy. Is this a sign that their relationship has improved?
They soon arrived at the presidential palace. Antony walked in first. Adelia followed him from behind. When Antony passed by his study. Antony stopped immediately which made Adelia immediately shocked.
“There is something I have to do again,” Antony said immediately.
Adelia frowned. They just came home from the state service where Antony was very, very busy. Arriving home, he thought this man would rest but in fact he wanted to go straight to work. Is this Antony's way of venting it all?
“Can't wait tomorrow? You're tired enough. Better get some rest first. Your health is also very important, right?” said Adelia who was a little worried.
“Tak problems. I'm not tired. I go in first,” said Antony immediately entered his office.
Adelia wanted to prevent it. But Antony came in and he heard the sound of him locking the door of the study. Hearing that must be a sign that Antony did not want to be disturbed at all. He therefore abandoned his intention to speak to Antony again.
Antony walked in a fairly dim hallway in that place. He scrunched his forehead. Laura should be scared to go through this place. Even he himself felt uncomfortable there. The atmosphere is cold and humid. He didn't check things out at this place first and only received a report from Max.
Before long Max immediately opened the iron door where Laura lived. Antony frowned, he knew that the room was indeed quite narrow. But he did not know his humid state and also smelled bad. It seemed like it was due to stale food or what was inside.
Antony was hoping to see Laura who might be frightened or still trying to challenge him. But what he got was Laura's body lying on her bed.
“Hei! Wakeup!” antony's voice sounded a little high looking at Laura's sleeping body behind him.
