The Roxena Prison of Love
Chapter 103 Roxena Prison of Love

"You're home yet?" Gerald came from the kitchen. Roxena who was already sitting on the sofa of the living room only muttered in response.

"Drink," said Gerald, putting a glass of kiwi juice on the table. Roxena gave a quick glance and closed her eyes. 

"There's trouble?"gerald asked later, looking at Roxena's tired face. 

"none. It may be the effect of getting pregnant" Roxena replied. 

"Get up your legs, let me massage." Roxena did. Raising his legs and Gerald carefully massaged them. 

"Tomorrow do not wear high heels again. I bought a new one. Low rights, suitable for pregnant women."

"Hug me." Gerald did. Hugging Roxena while rubbing her broken hair. 

"Lately it's been very quiet" Roxena said quietly. Not feeling calm, instead Roxena is restless. Based on his experience, the storm will come in an atmosphere that is considered calm.

"Don't worry. You alone can solve problems, especially if you and I are united? Any storm, we'll stand firm." Gerald raised Roxena's chin. Give a brief kiss. Smiling gently. 

"You've been through a lot of life. Are you still afraid of the storm?"ask Gerald later. In the past, Roxena was a strong woman, holding the title of sword master and at this time was the same. It may be the effect of pregnancy that makes it more sensitive. 

"Human hearts are easy to change, Gerald. I'm afraid .. someday this feeling will change. I'm satisfied with what I've got right now, love, children, wealth, I've had enough. If I have the power, I want to freeze time." 

"Just be honest. I don't know why I'm this sad. Whether this is a hunch or just my feeling." 

Gerald kept smiling. Then kiss Roxena's forehead. "If your feelings change, I'll make your lost feelings come back. If your love wanes, I will make you fall in love again and again with me. If you're saturated, I'll take away your saturation. I won't let you turn away from me."

"If if I change, do the same to me."

Gerald went back to Roxena. "I love you, Xena. Forever."

Roxena smiled. Her tears fell along with fading restlessness, her feelings were much better.

Three months have passed. Roxena and Gerald's quiet days pass. Not much has changed from their day. Gerald with the hospital and Roxena with his company. 

At five months of age, Roxena's pregnancy was greater than Roxena's pregnancy in general. Erin as a personal assistant certainly has the additional task of keeping Roxena during working hours. Starting from lunch and sometimes dinner, vitamins, drinks, and so forth. 

Realizing that her pregnancy was worthwhile, Roxena reduced activity in Light and Shadow. He left it in his right hand with Erin's note always giving the oral report of neighbors Light and Shadow. 

Tonight, Roxena's overtime. Accompanied by Erin, they struggled to complete the remaining documents. 

Roxena wants to go home soon. Three hours later, finally all the work today was completed. Soon they left the room to the basement. 

There was no conversation as Roxena closed her eyes, sleeping during the trip. 

"Sir." Erin greeted respectfully as she got out of the car. He finds Gerald waiting in the basement of their apartment. 

"Xena?"

"Miss is asleep, sir." Gerald nodded briefly. Slowly open the car door. 

"Surely very tired," he murmured softly. Carefully carry Roxena in her cradle. Being so tired, Roxena only opened her eyes at a glance and leaned her head in search of the most comfortable position. 

"Be careful on the road, Assistant Erin."

Erin nodded briefly. Then get back in the car and leave the basement.

Upon arrival in the room, Roxena lay in bed. Then take off the shoes that Roxena is using. He had already received a report from Erin that Roxena had eaten dinner.

"Gerald." Roxena's hoarse voice called out. 

"Yes?"

"I'm hungry."

Gerald blinked slowly. "What do you want to eat?"bargain Gerald. 

"Spaghettis. But, you made it," Roxena pinta. 

"alright. Just a minute." Gerald rushed to the kitchen. There, he meets Sophia. 

"What do you want to do, sir?"

"Xena wants spaghetti. Go get some rest, he wants me to make it." Sophia nodded her head and left the kitchen with a tumbler. 

As Gerald was preparing the materials he needed, Roxena came and sat down not far from Gerald. He propped up his chin and watched Gerald work. "Why come here?"ask Gerald fiercely. 

"I can't sleep anymore. Moreover, I want to see your face. I'm just sitting, not cooking anyway" Roxena said, ending with a faint smile. 

Gerald's smile rose. "Wait a minute." Gerald's headed for the fridge. Take one large avocado and then divide and separate from the skin. Given to Roxena in the form of small pieces. "Eat this first."

Roxena nodded. Enjoy the appearance of Gerald who is cooking while enjoying avocado. Gerald is very diligent in giving it good fruits and vegetables for pregnant women. Avocados and kiwis are one of them. 

It didn't take long, a serving of spaghetti was in session. The aroma that had been stirring earlier made Roxena quickly eat it. Her husband's cooking is beyond doubt. Tens of times more than the ability to destroy the kitchen. 

"Tomorrow to fit the shirt?" 

"It."

"Happy?"ask Gerald again. Replied Roxena's nod. 

After cleaning up the dirty equipment, Gerald led Roxena back to the room. Gerald was very careful with Roxena, keeping the woman in the slightest regard. Initially uncomfortable. However, at this time Roxena was even happy, feeling united. 

"Today's work is good?" Night routine. Ask everyday questions and discuss things they will do tomorrow and in the future. 

After the conversation, they talked about their son. The name of their twins, it's a crucial thing they haven't found the end of. 

There were already many names that they proposed but none of them matched. The name of Roxena's first child in the past. However, Roxena was against it. The boy's name was given to him by his father Regis. Roxena doesn't want to use that name. Now the one with him is Gerald!

"We'll just connect tomorrow. The night is getting late. Got to get enough rest, "gerald. Which was greeted with Roxena's harsh breath. 

"When it's just a name, why is it so hard?"he mumbled complaining. 

"Name is prayer. Name giving should not be arbitrary, Xena. Because it's a gift to our children" Gerald explained. A little bit of a fuss with Roxena. But through a lot of life. 

"Then you're the only one who thinks of names. I was so dizzy, I couldn't stand it anymore" Roxena said. Although he had gone through many lives, he had only married in two lives. First and now.

"alright. Go to sleep," Gerald.

The time it takes to fit clothes is not long. As soon as they were done, they parted ways to their respective workplaces. “Jade would like to meet, Miss,” Erin said as the two arrived at Roxena's room. 

“What's up?” There's been about two months Roxena hasn't met Jade. 

Erin shakes no idea. “Sore later to headquarters briefly.”

“Good, Miss.”

In the afternoon, Roxena and Erin leave for the base. About an hour's drive away, they arrived and Jade who had received news of Roxena's arrival immediately greeted. There was a ripple of happiness on his face. Looks like there's some good news.

“Lady!”said hello.

“What's up, Jade?” They're talking in the gazebo. Roxena is saturated if you have to talk in a closed room.

“I'll be a father. Wife's pregnant!”jade Sumringah.

Roxena jerked softly then coughed. “Congratulations to you.”

“You are not happy?”jade asked, squinting her eyes. 

“Lantas how should I react, Jade?”ask Roxena. 

Jade fell silent. His reaction is ordinary. Yes, of course what to expect? The goal is to just give news. “News, how?”

Hearing that question, Jade's smile widened. “She is very happy.”

Roxena chuckled softly hearing that. The real answer is the opposite of the answer. “ Pregnant women should not stress. You could lose one or both, Jade.”

“You take it easy, Lady. I know limitations.”

“Good.”

Roxena saw her watch, “have it finished, Jade? I have other business.” 

Jade nodded indicating that she was done. Roxena passed followed by Erin as Jade rushed off the base, returning to her private island.

“You can find out, right, Miss. Jade loves his wife,” Erin chirps.

“She loved him. It's just that, it probably won't be reciprocated because of the foundation of their relationship. Stella also drowned in regret.” Roxena sighed harshly, “hopefully no regrets later on.” And that hope was embraced by Erin.

Xavier's engagement was done two months ago and tomorrow is his wedding procession. The people were very excited about the grand wedding. Tomorrow, some streets will be closed because there will be a wedding parade from the place of blessing to the location of the party for lunch together with the invited guests. 

The night before the wedding, Xavier sat alone on the balcony of his room. In his hand was a cigarette. And on the table, there's an alcoholic drink. 

His breath was so heavy followed by a puff of smoke coming out of his mouth. The crown prince appeared to be depressed. And tomorrow he will get married. 

"It's so messed up," he murmured softly. 

Her marriage was not a marriage based on love but because of arranged marriage as a result of efforts to overcome the shock caused by the news of Stella's rebellion. The prime minister's daughter was chosen because many ministers agreed with her to be Xavier's companion. His future wife, can be said qualified and appropriate to accompany him. 

Tomorrow and over the next few days, he will undergo a series of wedding events ranging from blessings, wedding parades, lunch and dinner, and others. 

Once again, Xavier let out a rough sigh. "Stella, where are you now? If you don't act, I won't be so dizzy" complained Xavier. Very sorry for Stella's actions. The search has not found a bright spot either. 

In fact, the world's intelligence organizations are already offering help to help find Stella. However, the King refused on the grounds that internal problems should be resolved without foreign interference. 

"Damn it!"
