The Love Trap of the Ruler.
Chapters 288. It can't be, can it?
Adelia sat quietly in the small garden behind the presidential palace. Her mother and father have gone home. So did his two-in-law, Antony was lost behind his study.
The night quickly turned. Leave the moonlight and some garden lights that are not too bright accompany Adelia there.
Adelia leaned her head against the swing rope made from the chain. Slowly he shook it but his eyes glared far away.
He has let go. That's what he said and he intended. He was tired of all this too. To be honest it is not his nature to harm others. But doing so is not easy. How to leave one side of your heart to another. It was like being torn apart and bleeding. The pain can no longer be said.
Adelia just wants to get love from her husband. But her own husband no longer wanted that love to exist. Adelia simply bit her lips and wiped away the tears that were running down her cheeks.
"Madam" a man's voice greeted him. Adelia did not respond immediately. A few seconds later he lifted his head and looked at the source of the sound. The man who helped him yesterday.
"What's wrong? Am I no longer allowed to enjoy my own time?" Ask Adelia ketus. Honestly, life as a first lady is not always good. His life was arranged and so many things were limiting him. Of course, the first lady must keep her husband's good name. But which husband? Who a few hours ago wanted to divorce her?
Adelia actually had the thought of dismantling everything. But, again, love is stronger. After all, if it were to be uncovered, he would still definitely be blamed by his family. Can't she hold back from being the president's wife? Everyone must think so.
"Not Madam. Master asks you to wear these clothes, it's cold outside." Raftan shows a light brown coat.
Adelia looked at the man with her slightly sad face. Raftan saw that confused, why even sad?
"Don't lie to me. Antony doesn't even know where I am right now. He won't care what I do. He wouldn't even care if I froze here." Adelia immediately hysterically which immediately makes Raftan confused.
He was lying. He saw Adelia who was in the back garden in the middle of a pretty cold time. Raftan who is in charge of keeping Adelia took the initiative to bring her a coat. But he couldn't have said the coat was from him. So he made it up and said it was from Antony.
"I'm sorry, Madam. I'm not gonna bother you." Raftan gave his regards. Undur gives Adelia the coat. He does feel sassy. For what reason should he do this even though he feels that this is his duty.
Adelia looked at the man. I felt bad for scolding him. Of course he knew however kindly the man wanted to give him the coat.
"Wait." Adelia saw the man immediately want to leave.
"Yes Madam." Raftan answered him emphatically with a soldier.
"Why would you bring me that coat?"
"I'm just doing my job."
"Tasks?"
"Yes, look after and protect the Madam from anything." Raftan once again said it with complete confidence.
Adelia heard it silent. As a paspamres who specifically take care of himself. That was Raftan's job. But, he did not think that he should pay attention by bringing him a coat.
Adelia looked at this man's alertness. He was so bad at rejecting his good intentions. "All right, give it to me."
Raftan did not change his expression. He walked over and gave the coat formally. Finished handing Raftan back to his position.
Adelia wears a coat carried by Raftan. The warmth soon hit him. It felt comfortable and calmed his angry heart. I don't know because of the coat or because someone was with him. Adelia just needs that.
"Ready! Right Madam!" Raftan said it was like he was talking to his boss.
"Not be too formal. Can you take care of me here? I still want to be here some time." Adelia smiled slightly at Raftan's rigid behavior.
"Ready! Uh! Good Mistress."
Raftan turned around immediately. Adelia frowned and was confused as to why the man had even stepped away. Didn't he say he'd keep her here?
Three big steps Raftan made and then he stopped. The man immediately did a 'break in place' and stood firm.
"Raftan?" Ask Adelia.
"Yes, Mistress?" Raftan answered without changing his position.
"What are you doing?" Adelia asked confusedly. He wanted Raftan to be around. Not that he's flirty or what? He just needs people around him, no need to talk. Just asserting that he's not alone. But the man stayed away from her.
"I do my duty Mistress. Take care of you."
"Eh? Can't keep it any closer?" Adelia asked, frowning her forehead.
"No Madam. This is the limit I keep Madam."
As a male paspamres. Of course he can't get too close to the first lady. The task has been taken over by the female presidential candidate.
Adelia frowned. Although it feels strange. But it's nothing. This palace has too many rules.
Adelia wanted to get back to her self but she was instead interested in a figure who was said to be far away, not too far away from her. The man shook his head and just looked around. Adelia was feeling funny. The man actually did his job stiffly.

"I feel like something's weird!" Graciella frowned. Staring at her husband who just finished bathing with a towel on his hips. His body full of muscles looks like it's closing the eyes.
"About what?" Xavier's heavy voice rang out, Xavier finally put on his nightgown.
"About Laura. He doesn't seem to be afraid or depressed. He wanted to contact Antony. If she's been kidnapped. How he even wants to contact Antony. Did he have Stockholm Syndrome?" Graciella asked herself rather than telling Xavier.
Xavier did not answer his wife's words and simply sat down beside their bed and handed her a glass of warm milk.
"Do I have to take her to a psychiatrist tomorrow?" Graciella asked again looking at her husband's flat face. She is used to her husband who lacks expression.
"Don't you ever think that Laura could've liked Antonya?" Ask Xavier.
Graciella frowned. "Ehm, there's no way. I know how much Laura hates that guy!" Yeah, it can't be, can it?
