The Love Trap of the Ruler.
Chapters 70. We will continue with the plan .

“Good afternoon Miss,” said Xavier's subordinate facing towards Laura who was waiting for news from Xavier about Graciella's whereabouts. She told me Graciella was in the hospital with Adrean. Have they met? Has Graciella been brought back by Xavier?

“Siang? has there been any news about Graciella?” ask Laura immediately.

“No, but I have news from the commander. He wants me to take you home to your house" the soldier said.

Laura frowned, looking at him with a slightly asked look, why would Xavier want him to come home soon? What about Graciella? “Eh? what about Graciella?”

“Commander doesn't say anything, he just wants you delivered home soon.”

Laura shook her head with her wrinkled face. This doesn't feel right. This must be nothing. “Wait a minute, I want to talk to Xavier!” Laura immediately picked up her phone, but she only heard a connecting tone. Damnit damnit! why didn't Xavier pick up his call. He repeated it three times, but still Xavier did not pick it up. Damnit damnit! damn it, Laura thought.

Laura looked panicked. He was convinced that his feelings were right now. Surely Graciella did something stupid again! How could he go back to Adrean. What made him have to go back to Adrean, he couldn't believe it.

“Nona, your car is ready,” said the soldier again. Fredy orders her to quickly bring Laura home.

Once again! he should try it again! maybe this time he could make it to Xavier. But the same result is nil.

"Miss?"

"Yes, yes, I'm home!" pissed Laura. With a very upset face, he inevitably walked out of Xavier's house. Uh! Who should he call to know Gracie's situation

...****************...

Xavier stared intently but gloomily at a shooting target. He was holding his rifle tightly. His position is ready to spew bullets at the target.

Dor's! Dor's! Dor's!

Three bullets penetrated right in the middle of the target. Xavier took his breath and stared intently at where he had been aiming. His face looks like it can't be bothered by anyone. Even Fredy didn't dare to just rebuke Xavier. It seems that his mood is not good. And anyone at this base knows, if Xavier's mood isn't good, it's better not to bother him. Xavier opened his earplugs.

Xavier is back on Graciella's face. That woman, how could she go back with a man with no heart like Adrean. What exactly is he thinking? sometimes he feels Graciella is very intelligent, but when it comes to Adrean, he is immediately weak and stupid.

And what is more disturbing and makes Xavier surprised is Xavier also continues to ring the smiling face of little princess Graciella in his head. He felt unbearable if later to make a little girl was sad because it had damaged his family. She also felt familiar with the girl's face, was it because of her laugh that resembled that of Greciella?

"Commander's report!" said Fredy, inevitably he had to reprimand Xavier. There's something he has to say. Xavier did not answer, it certainly makes Fredy more nervous. “Eh, Inspector General Stevan would like to meet you.”

“Just tell me I don't want to meet anyone,” Xavier said. He did not want to meet anyone or talk to anyone now even with Stevan. Her feelings were so chaotic that she was afraid she would not be able to control herself

“Ready Commander!” fredy replied and immediately left wanting to step in to carry out Xavier's orders. But he just turned around. Stevan's figure was already there. Fredy is confused, there's no way to get Stevan out of there. However, Stevan's rank was equivalent to Xavier's if in his union. Fredy can only give respect. Stevan replied with a nod.

Xavier glanced at Stevan who was walking slowly towards him. Xavier ignored the man and immediately put his earplugs back on. Stevan also took the earplugs, put them on immediately and picked up the gun that was there. He stood beside Xavier. Xavier who was already in a shooting position frowned. Looking towards Stevan.

“I accompany!” stevan said a little screamed because his ears were closed.

Xavier did not answer. He just took his target so seriously. Stevan did the same. When Xavier starts shooting at his target, Stevan follows him. They each fired three bullets.

Xavier took his breath back. Trying to rearrange his heart. But somehow, his heart was still uncomfortable. What should he do to keep his mind from remembering Graciella for a moment. Surprisingly again, the picture of laughter between Graciella and the girl was ringing continuously. Makes Xavier even more violent. How could he have taken Graciella if he had a child with Adrean?

Xavier opened his earplugs in annoyance. Put it with a gun on a table. Stevan, who saw it, followed it. He knew his best friend must have a hard problem. From the beginning, he had always been like this when faced with a problem.

“Why? broken heart?” asked Stevan who was standing next to Xavier who washed his hands. Follow him like a tail anywhere.

“Who allowed you to enter my area?” ask Xavier. He's really upset. Don't want to be disturbed by anyone.

“Nothing. If I follow my work, I'm wrong for going into your area. But as a friend, this is what I have to do.” Stevan saw the hard face of Xavier. Xavier was silent, his eyes twitching. “What's up? Why else with you and Graciella?”

“She decided to go back on Adrean.”

Xavier bit his inner lips. His eyes looked so gloomy. He took a deep breath back. It's hard to get this feeling out.

"She and Adrean had a daughter." Xavier took the mineral water that was on the table. Drink it with annoyance. Stevan reared his eyes slightly surprised, but he soon understood Xavier's state of mind. This guy looks so fucked up. Xavier is a man who follows the norm in society. Seizing a man's wife may be tolerated, but seizing a mother from her child. Xavier won't do it. But can't you take both?

"Can you accept Graciella and her daughter?" Stevan asked, looking seriously at Xavier. Xavier frowned. The face of the little girl in Graciella's arms was as smart as the head. Cute face that can not be easily forgotten and of course everyone can accept the little girl.

"How old is his daughter?" ask Stevan again who is not waiting for an answer from Xavier.

"Maybe two years or more, it can't be more than three years. It was me and him three years ago" Xavier said. He suddenly thought, was it when he was together with Graciella? Is it possible that Graciella is pregnant? But, she was also with Adrean for these three years, it was possible that they were related, right? there's a chance Graciella might be pregnant, but maybe not.

"You said, Adrean until a while ago still treated Graciella harshly even almost let her sleep with another man, right? That means Graciella and her son are under pressure in the household. You said Greciella decided to go back to Adrean. She did not return to Adrean, but she chose to return for her daughter. If Adrean can do such a cruel thing to Graciella, I'm sure he can use it to threaten Greciella. Then what else do you think Graciella can do? She's a mother! Seeing her son get scratched he'll get sick, what if your son's in the hands of the one who's always torturing you?" Stevan tries to evoke Xavier's wits and logic which is covered in anger and hatred.

Xavier moved his jaw, what Stevan said made sense to him. "Why didn't he tell me? If threatened how could he be so foolish as to go without help?"

Stevan seemed to think for a moment. He looked towards Xavier. "It's their household problem and you're still nobody. Graciella would have been very hesitant to do it. I don't know for sure what reason Greciella did this but I'm sure. Graciella had a reason. Maybe because of a threat?"

"But his actions were so foolish as to think he could handle it himself! He had been in trouble with Adrean many times. Can't he think well?"

"I disagree with you. You know the psychology of someone who is small or often experiences greatness is different. They tend to easily become afraid of objects that always threaten them. You know the lions in the circus? They're bigger, fiercer, but because of the small dreaded by the whip? They become a lot of cats" Stevan said, analogizing that.

"I often get cases about kidnapping and violence. Many of the victims committed acts that laypeople felt were very stupid! We can say that because it's not in their position. We can think clearly now, but those under pressure, their way of thinking is not the same as ours. Can't we say why we act stupid? Position yourself as a mother whose child is in danger. Most mothers will instead obey all the wishes of their criminals rather than thinking about having to call the police, just positikan yourself," Stevan explained at length analyzing.

At his job he often met people like this and most victims did stupid things but that was their instinct to survive. Stevan is also aware that the Army is more focused on dealing with situations related to state security than having to deal with criminal cases like this. Xavier just kept quiet while trying to digest what Stevan said.

"What when you see them. They look happy?"

Xavier nodded.

"I'm sure it was deliberately pointed out by Adrean to make you jealous and worried. He's a guy who likes people to envy him and he knows your weaknesses, he knows you have a hard time thinking if you're jealous. That's why he's playing you. Be grateful that your handsome, intelligent friend is there to always calm you down" Stevan said. Always dilute the already tense atmosphere.

Stevan's proud laughter made Xavier frown. Right, if it's full of jealousy. Xavier lost his way to think clearly.

"So how? You still want to continue? Help Graciella and now with her son? I've got the tape. Helping a woman from a cruel man like Adrean becomes the duty of anyone who wants to do it. If you don't want to, let me" Stevan showed me his phone. The video of Sarah's confession that she so easily got was plastered there.

Xavier took the phone. He can't stop now. True, said Stevan, maybe if they were happy, Xavier would not have the heart to disturb them. But the words of Stevan opened his eyes. Graciella and her daughter must be rescued immediately. "No! we'll do it together. I still need you to continue with this plan."

"Well, the important thing is that you don't ask me to date again or marry Sarah, I will." Stevan said. As for strategy, Xavier is an expert.

Xavier stared intently at Stevan, "No! We'll do the opposite …."
