The Love Trap of the Ruler.
Chapter 33.
“Gracie? Where are you now?” laura asked again knowing Graciella no longer answered.
“Oh, I .. I'll be home as soon as possible. But can you pick me up?” graciella asked Laura.
“Pick you up? Where?” ask Laura. He was a little surprised, this friend of his was usually very independent. Sometimes Laura wants to drop off or pick her up. He always didn't want to because he could still go alone. But tumben once today he asked to be picked up.
“I'm at the southern military headquarters.”
“Ha? Military headquarters? Have you been with Xavier all night? Waw! how come? this is the second time. What are you doing this time?” laura asked, her spirit burning. Wanted to quickly find out what Graciella had done with Xavier. His friend is great. Uh! he's getting jealous.
“I didn't do anything. I'll call you back after this to pick me up. I'm asking for help yes.” Graciella seduced a little but her voice remained weak. Laura frowned. Why is Graciella unhappy?
“Eh, all right," said Laura.
“Thank you.” Graciella turned off the phone call. He looked at the phone screen from Xavier. The feeling is uncomfortable. The pain could somehow appear as Laura explained everything.
Laura reminded him that she was a married woman. His status is a wife. However, she remains tied to a legal and registered marriage in the country with Adrean. How could he let Xavier approach him and give him this sense of comfort? Who should he be aware of? From this moment on he had to limit his relationship with Xavier. He didn't want anyone to get hurt later. For sure he didn't want to get Xavier hurt.
Graciella cupped her hands together on her face. He wiped his eyes which could somehow get wet. Why should I cry? Xavier and Graciella have nothing to do.
But Graciella can't hold back her tears. The more he calmed himself down by saying that he and Xavier were nothing, the more hurt he became. The more his eyes hurt. Uh! what should he do!
Graciella's! What are you expecting! You're a married woman! Even if you somehow break up with Adrean? Do you think her family will accept you who's already a widow? What if they find out about your situation? even your descendants are no good, they will definitely reject you outright. Tell me how you wish you could be with that man!
Graciella wiped her tears very hard. But the tears filled his eyes. Graciella is confused as to what to do now. Why could it be that with just a little attention he could become this weak? He had to kill this feeling. This feeling is still not well developed. It was better to kill him now so as not to go deeper.
Graciella pensive for quite a while. Trying to dampen the sense that arises from killing his own feelings. Repeatedly sighing long because it feels tight. This feeling was nothing, he was just too often hurt until someone suddenly noticed Graciella was easily carried away by the feeling, that was it. Tomorrow he will forget. Don't we?

“How about what I asked yesterday?” xavier asked a glance towards Fredy who was walking beside him as they headed to Xavier's dormitory after they had a meeting. Xavier has to make sure Graciella's condition. He should have had lunch and taken the medicine.
“I've done it and found more surprising things than before.” Fred looked sure.
Xavier frowned. Fredy knows that Xavier demands that he explain what he has already got. Fredy approached Xavier and whispered something that made Xavier raise his eyes. His face looked so shocked.
“You should explain it all to me later.” Xavier immediately stepped even faster towards his residence.
“Ready Commander!” fredy answers to Xavier, who finally enters his dorm.
Xavier was heading straight for his room. Her eyes soon grew bigger seeing Graciella standing up and seemingly learning to walk on her own.
“Let me have a drink. Laura will be here any minute. Can he come in? he wants to pick me up,” said Graciella with a slight smile. But he soon looked at Xavier, he immediately threw away his gaze.
Xavier who heard that certainly frowned. "Why do you want to go home again? didn't I say I wouldn't let you go home?”
“I have to go home. Besides not good for me and for you if anyone knows about us.”
“What do you mean?’
“This is inappropriate. I'm a woman who already has a husband and you're a single man. Of course it's inappropriate. I have to go home,” said Graciella who tried to suppress her feelings. The feeling of tightness when he said this.
Xavier who heard that was certainly confused and annoyed. His emotions instantly rose listening to an explanation from Graciella. “After all this? you still want to go home and admit that man is your husband? How can a man like that you keep as a husband?”
“However I deny it. Currently in the country's records. He is my husband. No matter how you deny it, he is still my husband,” Graciella said. Actually he had no intention of going back to Adrean, but let it be, he didn't need to straighten this out on Xavier.
“You are what kind of woman? I won't let you go back to him! I'm sure he'll do something worse than this. Yesterday I could still protect you, what if I'm late and can't protect you?” xavier asked with reddened eyes.
“You don't need to protect me. Protecting me is not your job.”
"For me it has become my duty!” said Xavier who unknowingly held both arms of Graciella. Graciella was shocked by what Xavier had done. Xavier looked at Graciella with his dark eyes. Graciella was afraid that she would be trapped again with that hypnotic look. He immediately lowered. Covering her eyes with her plump eyelashes. “Grachiella, Don't you like me?” ask Xavier. This time it was low-pitched that made Graciella's heart beat pain immediately. How'this? feeling rebellious.
Graciella recalled Laura's words. Xavier is a man who should get a woman equal to him. Who has a good family background and certainly women who are still single. Not like him. Forced however, he already knew how it ended. Than to feel beautiful and then end up hurt. Better not start at all.
“No!” said Graciella trying as much as possible to say it. “My love is only for Adrean. That's why even though he hurt me, I kept him.”
Xavier was silent to hear that. Gazing towards the eyes as beautiful as the eyes of the porcelain doll looked firmly at him. Xavier squeezes Graciella's arm. Graciella could see Xavier's neck and cheek muscles stiffening. Signs he's holding a lot of anger.
“I can't believe,” Xavier said with his head bobble. Graciella doesn't know what else to do. He really tried to push himself. Soon she was afraid that she would cry here.
“I don't care if you believe it or not. Now I just want to go home. You have no right to ban me. You're a nobody.” Graciella said that very grimly. Xavier frowned. His eyes that were burning seemed blurry. It even made the pain in Graciella's heart increase. That disappointed look hurt Graciella so much. “My husband is waiting at home.”
Xavier pressed his teeth. His anger was so high. He's afraid he won't be able to hold it in a minute. Xavier took his hand off Graciella's arm. “Fredy!” xavier shouted so loudly that Graciella was shocked by it.
Fredy who knew that Graciella and Xavier were involved in a fierce quarrel immediately jumped. He's coming for Xavier right away.
“Take this woman home.” Xavier just left from there without looking at Graciella.
“Any commander!” said Fredy who can only say that. He just looked at Graciella who immediately shed her tears. “Doctor?” fredy was confused.
“It's okay. I just feel like my feet are hurting. We go now,” lie Graciella. Of course his leg pain is nothing to what he feels now.
