The Love Trap of the Ruler.
Chapter 44. Tell me what do you want?
Graciella looked towards Adrean. His hands trembled slightly holding the weapon presented by Adrean. He picked it up before the man pulled it back. Adrean only gave a smile of his understanding. She was indeed to be feared by Graciella.
Graciella immediately held the small hand gun tightly. He did not expect that even though the shape was small, the weight was quite pronounced. Graciella only narrowed her eyes at Adrean and she quickly pointed the gun at Adrean who immediately scrunched his face.
Graciella knew it was the real gun but she didn't know if it was loaded or not, she didn't understand how to check it. So he couldn't just believe it and felt calm. He had to be sure that this gun could work properly. Because of that Graciella's hands became trembling doing so.
“Be careful to use it, the gun is fully loaded, believe me," Adrean told Graciella who seemed undaunted even though Graciella had already pointed the tip of the gun at him.
“Tell me. What do you want to do to me?” graciella asked with her serious face trying to cover up her doubts. Although Adrean says he only wants to bring Graciella to meet his family, he does not believe what Adrean says.
“Nothing, I just want to take you with my family," replied Adrean again.
“I can't believe it. Why are you taking me to meet your family after all this time? Why do you even want to do that now?” graciella asked, This is very strange for him.
Adrean immediately stepped forward until the tip of the gun was stuck to his chest. Adrean's hand shifted the tip of the weapon towards his left chest. Right where the heart is.
Graciella saw it raising her eyes. Although he pointed the gun at Adrean, Graciella had no intention of shooting Adrean. His hands were trembling from Adrean.
The elevator doors opened showing several Adrean guards waiting in the basement. They were immediately shocked and wanted to take action because they saw Graciella pointing a gun at Adrean. But Adrean raised his hand showing gestures so that his guards would not take any action.
“I just want you to meet my family. I'll make sure I don't do anything weird to you anymore. This time believe me. If later I do things that are not in accordance with what I say now. Can you do anything?” Adrean stood even stronger in front of Graciella.
“You sure? even if I part with you?” ask Graciella who feels like getting a fresh breeze. Despite only false promises, those words were like an oasis in a very barren wilderness.
Adrean saw that wrinkled his face. There was a annoyance hearing that. She doesn't like Graciella, however, asking to part with her. But he already said that. If he had changed his statement earlier, Graciella would not have gone with him.
Adrean took his breath, trying to dispel his usually fast-rising emotions, “Only if later did not match the words I said now. But I'm not sure you're going to divorce me after this.”
“Eh? Why?" graciella frowned.
"Alright," said Graciella not thinking about what will happen, but she was sure that nothing would change her mind to part with this man. At least it doesn't hurt him to do that anyway. After all, if this gun does not contain, it feels if he hit it on Adrean's head will hurt too. Graciella pulls the gun from Adrean's chest. He kept holding it tight.
Adrean returns to his position to push Graciella. Adrean's bodyguards did nothing but pave the way for Adrean to take Graceilla straight to the car. Adrean immediately wants to hold Graciella to help him get into the car but Graciella quickly filters her hand.
“I can do it myself," said Graciella who stood up as much as possible. Adrean undoes his intention of helping Graciella to get into the car. Soon Adrean came in and sat down next to Graicella. Their car immediately left the basement.
Graciella continued to hold tightly to the handgun that had been given by Adrean. He seemed very alert to everything. Repeatedly seeing the streets and also the situation outside. He also thought about how he could easily hit this man beside him if he did something non-no. Graciella shifted her body to sit not too close to the door so that the events some time ago would no longer happen. He's really careful. But it seems that this car is indeed heading towards their house.
“What is your family at home?” asked Graciella who kept looking outwards.
“They are at Golden Pheonix restaurant. We're going there after you've dressed properly, I don't want to say that the husband abandoned his wife" said Adrean, who appeared to be fixing the suit he was wearing.
Graciella frowned also narrowed her eyes staring at Adrean, “Isn't that really what it is?” little Graciella murmured. Adrean pretended not to hear it. He doesn't want to change his mood right now.
Graciella saw their car go into the garage of the house. Graciella immediately opened the door before Adrean opened it. He walked slowly, sometimes jumping but occasionally using his injured leg on tiptoes. The pain medication worked so well on him.
“I will help you," said Adrean wanted to hold Graciella's arm. Graciella shifts Adrean's hand at the reject sign. He didn't want Adrean's hand to touch him. Graciella immediately threw out her body as one of the guards took out her wheelchair.
“I don't want to dirty your hands. I can do it myself. I'm used to it myself, so there's no need for anyone to help" Graciella said, glancing at Adrean. Adrean only narrowed his eyes slightly. This attitude of Graciella, somehow becomes very annoying. But he tried to keep his emotions.
Graciella went into her house. When the door opened he was shocked to see some people were already waiting inside. She also saw a white dress lying on her couch. Graciella immediately frowned.
“This is my wife, dress her as soon as possible, we are waiting for her" Adrean said lightly.
The people who were standing looking at Adrean's hand immediately smiled sweetly at Adrean. One of them politely asked permission to push Graciella into her room. Before leaving the living room, Graciella glanced again at the man who was sitting relaxed while starting to light her cigarette. Who's the guy? Graciella suddenly feels she doesn't know Adrean.
