The Love Trap of the Ruler.
Chapter 64. How can you fall in love again, when love is never good to you?
Graciella is certainly not stupid and knows that she needs help. He also knew that coming to Adrean was the same as going into the lion's den willingly. But where should he seek help? Xavier then? Graciella instantly wanted to look for Xavier's number with her trembling hands.
But his feelings returned. Three years together with Adrean he knew the man was indeed sweet-mouthed, but he never messed around with his threats. If he said he was going to hurt someone, he would definitely do it in earnest.
Adrean never said that he had lost his son. He just said that he had thrown away his son and most likely his son was dead, he never confirmed it. Adrean may have dumped her into an orphanage or on a foster family she asked to raise Moira.
Is Moira really his son? Although the doubt appeared, but his intuition as a mother said that it was really her daughter. After all, their resemblance could be one of the things that Graciella could believe right now.
Graciella's brain-twisting. So many questions and conflicts in his brain. Worried about what he should do next. She couldn't say this to Laura, but Laura would have told Xavier. Previous experiences where Laura could easily tell Xavier everything.
But either way, he must meet his daughter and protect her. Despite the video call, Adrean is quite close to Moira, but Greciella is sure no one feels safe especially comfortable if close to Adrean. He will give anything and sacrifice anything for his son whatever the risk.
Graciella took a strong breath of water and immediately deleted the message sent by Adrean. Not to forget he washed his face to disguise the rest of his tears. She once again took a deep breath and opened the bathroom door to find Laura who was about to fall because she had her ear on the door so she could hear the conversation from Graciella. Unfortunately, he didn't hear it too clearly.
"Ehm? Graciella who is that? Why is there a female voice?" laura asked, frowning, taking out the phone Graciella had thrust.
"A friend of mine." Greciella held back her trembling voice as much as possible.
"Then? what does this have to do with Adrean? is he trying to threaten you?" laura's feelings said that's what happened.
"You know how Adrean. He's trying to get me affected. But I'm not affected" Graciella said, trying to smile.
"really? A gracie? But why are you crying?" Laura said she noticed a change in Greciella's eye circumference. Although it has been tried to disguise it but still can not be covered.
"ah! It's because I'm so emotional! You know, too angry to take it no longer and cry. So tired! I want to sleep. Good night," said Graciella smiling as she frowned Laura. Graciella's behavior is suspicious. Laura only looked at Graciella's sleeping back covered in blankets behind her.
But Laura ignored his feelings. Grwciella will be safe now. He was here with her and this house was also guarded by two soldiers under Xavier.
Greciella felt the bed on the other side sway. Soon the lights were turned off signs Laura was going to sleep. It took her half an hour to make sure Laura was completely asleep.
The silence and darkness of the room made Greciella even more uncomfortable. What should he do now. Of course he wants to be able to meet with Moira as soon as possible. His son's funny face was ringing in his mind.
But, if he were to leave now, the guards would still be there and they would still have enough manpower to chase after Graciella. I don't want him to have to wait for the right time. Early morning is their critical time, when their drowsiness begins to hit them.
However, tonight is the longest night Graciella has ever lived. He couldn't even close his eyes for a second. .
Graciella then jumped to hear Laura's mobile phone vibrating. He looked at the phone screen. Her heart skipped a beat, afraid of the call from Adrean who felt impatient waiting for Graciella's arrival and would do something to Moira.
At first he didn't want to answer the call, let Xavier think he was asleep. But he hesitated and felt uneasy, finally raising the call.
"Hello?" the heavy voice sounded. Graciella bit her lip. There was a pain that suddenly felt like it was as if Graciella's heart had just been etched in an indiscriminate manner.
"Hello, huh?" greciella said who was confused what to say.
"Not slept?" asked Xavier who did not expect the call to be directly answered Graciella. She thinks Laura's gonna lift it.
"Yet. Still not used to being here," Greciella reasoned. He bit his lips even harder until the pain felt a disguise of discomfort in his chest.
"Sleep, it's late enough. I just want to know how you are doing with Laura. I have to continue my work again. Go to sleep" Xavier told Graciella.
Graciella was silent for a moment. Does he have to say goodbye? saying that he should go back to Adrean because his son is now with Adrean so Xavier knows why Graciella reneged on her promise?
"Xavier me …." Damn it, Graciella's mouth clenched. Never mind to say the word 'will be back with Adrean'. Saying 'he will go' as a farewell cannot slip from his lips.
"What's wrong?" Xavier asked frowned.
"Eh? I just wanted to say, watch your work, take care of your health." Again Graciella's tongue was muddled, but she wanted to continue saying 'because this might be the last time they'll talk."
Xavier across there raised the corner of his lips to hear the words that to him described a concern. Finally, Graciella worried about him. Of course this made his heart happy.
"All right, I'll be careful. We'll see you in the morning."
Graciella doubts that. "Hm," Graciella answered briefly. No longer could she say anything because she had her pain now constricting her throat. How could this be so crowded just to part with a man she hasn't even known for a month.
"I have to get back to work. All right, get some sleep now." The happy voice of Xavier was clearly noticeable, making some of his subordinates feel relieved. Working this late with Xavier's bad mood will certainly be a pressure for them.
"Yes" said Graciella.
"I'll turn off the call." The sound of the call disconnection was immediately heard. Simultaneously a tear from his eyes fell just like that, scattering when he touched his cheek.
Graciella instantly wiped away her warm tears. Why is this sick? is this a sign that now Graciella has put her heart on the man? how can he fall in love again, when love is never beautiful for a Graciella.
