Traveling through a city full of charm with loved ones is an indescribable joy. Under the exotic beauty of Madrid with its medieval buildings, is a precious pleasure that will become fond memories.
Although the night is not too cold, Gerald gets Roxena closer to him. Closely grasping the fingers. His smile was beautifully engraved.
“Although the city is very sparkling at night, it still cannot compensate for the beauty of the moon. He has his own charm. It's the same as you, Xena. Even if you are among the many humans, all attention will remain on you. Even if you're in the crowd, I'll be able to find you,” Gerald softly said. They stopped not far from the street musicians who were playing the violin.
“Puitis once.”
“No, Xena. Even hundreds of poems, songs, flowers or whatever, still can't compare to you. You are so special, you are different from most people. You ... have a strong mentality, you have determination and something that no one else has. Maybe because of this either in his previous life or in this life, I fell in love with you. Xena, i-”
Roxena's confession was stopped by covering Gerald's mouth with her hand. His eyes were not happy. “Stop indulging sweet words or love confessions. I don't need repeated confession if the heart is often disavowed. I only need one confession for a lifetime,” Roxena asserted.
Gerald pulled the corner of his lips. “Marriage is a lifetime recognition. That means you will never leave me, you will never leave me in this marriage. I'm so happy to listen.”
Roxena was immediately stunned. It seems he said the wrong thing. But, not the principle of retracting the word that has been said. “Forget it. We're here to have fun. I'm hungry.”
Roxena walked first. Followed by Gerald. Unexpectedly, Roxena would say just that. If so, there's nothing to worry about. Regis doesn't seem interested in Roxena anyway. Definitely not gonna take Roxena from him.
They chose a restaurant and sat outside. Enjoy the city crowd and also the beauty of street musicians. Gerald did not take his eyes off Roxena. Do not get tired of looking at the beautiful face of Roxena unique. The sharp hazel eyes that held a million chills. Thin lips that rarely smile sincerely. A firm jaw and an alluring collarbone. His body was tall with milk-white skin. With that beauty it was no wonder Roxena had another reputation outside of her position as the Sole Daughter of the Lawrence Family. Her nickname is Lily white, in the business world live added the word bloody. Or Lily of death.
“You plan to get me drunk?”cynical Roxena when she sees a bottle of wine served at dinner. Roxena remembered Gerald giving wine with a high alcohol content.
“Ah no. low rate.”
“Do not carelessly. Our position is outside. Even though I put a bodyguard around here, it doesn't rule out the possibility of a sudden ambush!”whispered Roxena firmly. Gerald immediately gulped a rough saliva, he did not think of it.
“Then what about cocktail or mocktail?”bargain Gerald, pull the wine bottle off the table.
Roxena suddenly took it. “But, since you've already ordered it, a glass of wine doesn't matter.”
“Ah.” Gerald opened his eyes. It still cannot escape the wine.
“I haven't been this free in a long time. Enjoy wine in the crowd, listen to the violin and also watch Fandango dance. However, I do not want to thank you,” said Roxena, his eyes focused on some people who do Spanish couple dance. Nimble and vibrant, accompanied by supportive music, reminds Roxena of the life of being a noble Miss. Although his hands are rough because he practices the sword, he must still master ethics and dance to support status in the classroom. She was once a duke's daughter.
“I've lived in Madrid for so long. However, you never took me to visit the famous Madrid icons. I'm sad to remember,” Gerald. Roxena glanced at him.
“If there is time ... in a few days I will take you to Puerta de Alcala.”
“Really?”
“Hm.”
“I will arrange my schedule as efficiently as possible. You don't break your promise. Ah ... Spain is called the land of matadors. I really want to watch the bull conquering matadors, is-”
Stopped when he received Roxena's annoyed look. Gerald laughed crisply. “By-good. I won't sue.”
“What do you want to see from the show?”
“Matador against the bull, isn't that a very famous icon?”ask Gerald in wonder.
“As a doctor, your taste is unique too, huh?” An allusion.
“You ... don't like it?”guess Gerald.
“That culture brings polemics and controversy. Even though I don't like it, it's culture. And that culture is well known, which may be abolished. Human life and culture always go hand in hand. Even though I'm great, how can I erase a long history?” Roxena smiled faintly.
Gerald remembered. Yes, the tradition or culture of the matador is extreme. Life is the bet. And the audience cheered to see it. That is indeed an amusement. “Suddenly I don't want to see it.”
Roxena sighed softly. “If there is time, weekend we can visit some place.”
“Really?”
“Hm.”
Gerald's happy not to play. Dating this time, he made a big profit.
“Ah .. come on, I have something ready for you,” take Gerald with me shortly after he pays for their dinner. He also sees time.
“I haven't had wine!”roxena protest.
“Can drink at home.” Gerald brought a bottle of wine and pulled Roxena somewhere. They were in the middle of the crowd with clear skies. Gerald looked up at the sky, inevitably Roxena also wanted to look at the sky.
Suddenly there was a colorful light forming a formation in the sky. The red light forms the heart. The blue light forms words. The scene immediately attracted the attention of people, they immediately captured the moment with a cellphone camera and some guessed, who did it.
To a very special woman, my wife.
Thank you for choosing me.
I promise, I will fulfill our wedding vows.
This whole life I'm gonna spend with you.
I love you, My wife.
“I love you, Xena.” Gerald, he did that. Chewing Roxena's forehead while the woman in question fell silent.
“A-”
Suddenly Gerald twisted Roxena's body.
“Ugh!!” A groan dropped Gerald. Roxena's awake, she's under attack!
The attackers were not alone, they rushed towards Roxena. It caused panic. Gerald who was sprawled with blood that continued to pour from the wound on the waist tried to get up to help Roxena.
“Hei, Gerald. You hear me?” Gerald's vision became more and more faint. He nodded slowly in response even though the voice was faint.
“It's okay. I'll treat you.” With an inexplicable expression, Roxena carried Gerald towards the car. Driving quickly, ignoring traffic rules. Mind empty.
Roxena takes Gerald to Light and Shadow's base. He can't think clearly, there's only a thought Gerald has to survive.
“LIU!! LIU!!” Roxena held Gerald in her arms, shouting to call her personal doctor. Ignoring the greetings and gazes of the members. There were some members who rushed towards Doctor Liu's room.
“Lady!!” Doctor Liu who heard the news immediately went to see Roxena.
“Save my husband!”
Doctor Liu sees Roxena and Gerald being carried. Fresh blood dripping on the floor.
“Come, Lady.” Doctor Liu took them to the clinic. Doctor Liu immediately handled Gerald while Roxena leaned against the wall, biting her finger, ignoring her blood-stained clothes.
“Senor lost a lot of blood. Download two bags of AB blood!”doctor Liu's Order.
“Senor's blood pressure drops, Doctor!”
The clinic is complete. Dr. Liu paired other respiratory and life support devices. Gerald's condition is very dangerous.
“Don't let him die, Liu!”roxena. Doctor Liu nodded softly hearing the cry.
You've earned Lady's heart, Senor.
“Nona.” Erin came in. “You okay?” Checking Roxena's condition.
“I'm good. He's the one who got hurt protecting me from a knife. Stupidhead! Why sacrifice his life and smooth body?!”ketus Roxena's.
“Master, day ...”
“Blood pressure is stable. Senor is out of critical time.” Doctor Liu's words calmed everyone, except Roxena. He won't calm down until Gerald opens his eyes.
“When will he wake up?”
“Most likely tomorrow morning, Lady,” replied Doctor Liu.

“I'll interrogate the attacker!” Roxena goes to prison with Erin.
“How dare to hurt my husband!”
“Where are they?” The prison guards looked terrified.
“Where are they?!” A creepy low tone. The prison guard immediately knelt down.
“This branch is negligent in its duty, Lady. They killed themselves in the cell, Lady!”report it with fear.
Roxena flicked her hand, entering herself into the prison. The three attackers lay lifeless in the cell. Dare to die when the task fails, this is not his first time.
Roxena immediately examined their bodies. Probably found a clue.
“Mysterious Movements!”erin said as soon as she saw the mark on their right arm.
Roxena frowned, was her identity as Lady Light and Shadow revealed or was she indeed the targeted Roxena Lawrence? But, for what motive? Did this mysterious move change course?
“ Mysterious Movement,” Roxena murmur.
Roxena let out a rough sigh. “Lately I have met many people with great ambition and appetite.”
“However, Miss. Compared to all that ... is it okay Miss brought you here? Are you ready Mr find out your other identity?”ask Erin carefully.
“What to fear. It's like a cliche in a novel. He's also not a cloud person.”
Erin digested. “You are right, Miss.”
“Their attacks cost me dearly. Find the root of this damn move!! I'll pluck them till the end.”
“That means you raised the war flag against ...”
“Those who asked for it.”
“Good, Miss!”

Gerald was transferred to Roxena's room. The day is getting late. However, Roxena did not close her eyes immediately. He sat by the window with wine in his hand. Drink the throat for the sake of a throat, trying to treat the anxiety of his heart.
Gerald's actions really troubled his heart.
