The Roxena Prison of Love
Chapter 75 Roxena Prison of Love

Roxena laughed crisply as they arrived at the car. The astonished Gerald immediately asked what Roxena was laughing at. Leisurely, Roxena replied, "jonathan's stupidity."

Gerald understood Roxena's intentions and purpose in bringing her along. To protect Roxena from possible ill intentions. Roxena is a woman full of calculations. It will not come without taking into account all the possibilities.

"The day after tomorrow he will be someone else's fiancee. Her head is too big to set me up" Roxena joked.

Gerald nodded in understanding. He quickly understood and learned.

Roxena opened the storage drawer, took something fancy invitation using black paper and gold inked. It was written on it an engagement invitation between Stella and Jonathan. Will be held at the palace. It was decided to ensure the safety of family members who will be present in it.

"You've seen my palace, what if you compare it to the royal palace?"bargain Roxena.

"I think your palace is more beautiful. However, there is one thing that cannot be compared" Gerald replied.

Roxena waited for Gerald to continue his words. "History."

Roxena clucking. Who would change the history of the kingdom?! All he wants is to change the future and to record himself in history.

"Ah ... This time I want to compete with him" Roxena said. Gerald who was focused on driving turned his head back to Roxena.

Stella has always regarded Roxena as a rival. The longer the more obvious the desire to seize what Roxena has. Unfortunately, Roxena had no such desire. Instead, his wish was greater than a throne of the Kingdom.

Roxena looked at Gerald, deep and long enough. I don't know, ever since she found out she was pregnant, staring at Gerald's face for a long time became a must. Is this a sign again? Will his son look like Gerald?

Wait, similar to Gerald!

Roxena's face was suddenly gloomy. The mood went bad. Sensing the atmospheric pressure around him descending, Gerald turned to Roxena again.

"What's up, Xena?"

"I was pregnant, I gave birth, how can I look like you?"roxena murmured. Gerald understood not understanding.

"You boy or girl, my son should look like me!"roxena. The words were awkward for Gerald. He reflexively looks at Roxena's stomach.

Feeling that this situation would be dangerous, Gerald pulled the car over. "Why-"

"You pregnant, Xena?"ask Gerald seriously.

"Pregnant?" Roxena's brain responds quickly. He decided to keep this a secret for a while. Acting with her innocent face. Coupled with a squeak on the forehead. "No?" There was a trace of disappointment in Gerald's eyes.

"Why do you think I'm pregnant?"

"You're talking about the child's resemblance, I immediately thought of it."

"I just remembered the conversation of some of my subordinates." Roxena is back. Create a lie and keep adding to it.

"Xena." Gerald's low tone called. Grabbed a finger and looked seriously at Roxena. "What if our son doesn't look like you? What are you gonna do?" There was fear in Gerald's heart. He remembered that Roxena was indiscriminate, what if Roxena ….

"Must be similar! If not .. maybe I should educate her to look like me. Do you have any thoughts I'm gonna eat my own son?"search Roxena sharp.

Gerald did not answer. "It sucks!"ketus Roxena's. He puffed his cheeks.

There's a special reason Gerald thinks that way. Because of her last dream, Roxena committed suicide while pregnant. He's afraid.

"Want to spend the night here?!"roxena asked still in her thin tone.

"They quarreled?"

With her boss face Lily asked. Sophia raised her shoulders, unwilling to speculate.

"What is this time for?" It has only been a few days of fighting. Can this couple always get along?

"You are, like you don't understand the character of Miss," Sophia said calmly.

"Even though the Master is becoming submissive, do you think all of Miss's actions are acceptable? Moreover, Miss's thoughts and actions sometimes don't think about other people's feelings."

"I'm tired of their fights" Lily lamented.

Sophia patted Lily on the shoulder. "It's a risk."

Gerald didn't sleep that night. He reflected on the dream and the quarrel that happened some time ago. Roxena did not allow him into the room, so he slept in the room he first occupied.

While Roxena sleeps in displeasure. He was very upset with Gerald. This child he craved so much, why should it be obliterated just because it did not resemble him? Is it a resemblance based only on looks?

It's not that cruel either! Is it wrong to express his wishes? He who conceives, gives birth at the stake of life, then also breastfeeds, is it not permissible to ask his child to be similar to him?

Roxena opened her eyes. "That shitty guy!"

"If it looks like you, I'll throw you out!"roxena's hiss, closing her eyes again, pulled the blanket over her entire body.

Gerald came out with his eyes. Got Roxena already at the dinner table and enjoyed breakfast in the form of barley bread.

Roxena glanced indifferently. Lily serves a cup of coffee to Gerald.

"Pia, make me some red bean porridge and drop me off at the office" Roxena told me.

"Good, Miss."

"I'm leaving."

"Still angry" murmured Gerald. It's uncomfortable to be ignored like this.

"If you're pleased, would you be willing to deliver lunch and porridge for Miss later?"bargain Sophia on Gerald who was so lethargic. But I don't know what to do.

Centauri runs smoothly without any significant obstacles. The new financial company was already known to the public in a short time. Being a subsidiary of Lawrence Group is certainly a virtue in itself.

Customers are increasing day by day. As well as cooperation with various parties that began to be built including with government institutions.

Proposals for cooperation applications are also continuously sent, both to email and sent directly to the company.

"In 3 years time, Centauri will become the main financial company in the country!"roxena said full of confidence during a regular meeting of the company's board of directors.

Roxena rubbed her forehead as the board of directors left the room. Meeting is over. Since she knew she was pregnant, she felt tired easily. Just an ordinary percentage.

Erin immediately offered a drink to Roxena. "You'd better rest for a while before you get on with work, miss," Erin said.

Roxena nodded in agreement. He drank and left the meeting room, returned to his room. Entering the room inside. Before taking a break, Roxena set a timer on her phone.

At the same time, Gerald arrives at Lawrence Group's company. Before entering, he stared at the shining skyscraper. Glare until he narrowed his eyes. Both guards told him to stay in the car.

Entering Lobby. The style of decoration was certainly very familiar to Gerald. Gerald's headed for the receptionist. "Excuse me."

"Good day, sir. Can anyone help?" A friendly receptionist.

"What floor is Roxena Lawrence in?"ask Gerald directly.

The receptionist looked at Gerald's appearance. Cloth pants, t-shirts wrapped in black colored coats and carrying a paper bag. Casual appearance but matched Gerald's.

Gerald who felt noticed stared back at the receptionist. The front of the receptionist was wrinkled. He then asked Gerald for time. "Before you can say your name and your needs, sir?"

It was impossible for the food deliveryman to dare to ask the room of their Supreme Leader.

"Gerald Chaddrick, deliver food to Xena."

Gerald Chaddrick, calling their Leader familiar?! The receptionist's face was straight. "I'm sorry, sir."

"Eh?"

"The President's room is on the 69th floor. You'll find Erin's secretary's desk there," the receptionist explained.

Gerald nodded in understanding. "Please use a special elevator, sir. You will go straight up to the 69th floor" the receptionist directed.

Gerald nodded again and headed for the mentioned elevator. In no time, Gerald arrived at the destination floor. Gerald's head is a little dizzy. This is the first time it's a very tall building. Not far from the elevator, Gerald found Erin was busy checking documents to be handed to Roxena later.

"Secretary Erin." Erin looks up. He was surprised to find Gerald in front of him.

"Master?! You ... Why are you here?"

"Institute lunch."

"Huh?" Erin remembered. This morning Roxena's mood wasn't good.

"Xena's inside?"

"Yes, Sir." Erin came out of her desk. Open the door for Gerald. "Only Miss is resting in the room, sir."

Gerald nodded in understanding. He entered and first circulated the view. Black and white dominance, mysterious and elegant.

Gerald placed the paper bag on the sofa table and stepped closer to the glass window of the room. Look at the city from this skyscraper. Enough with that, he rushed to see Roxena inside the room.

"Who?" His sleep was not sound, Roxena immediately opened her eyes to the foreign movement in her room.

"Ah, I'm interrupting your rest" said Gerald.

"Gerald? What are you doing here?"search Roxena, grab her phone to disable the timer.

"Institute your lunch."

"Didn't I tell Sophia?"

"I offered myself."

"After lunch, wash your face I'll serve lunch at the table" Gerald said. Roxena massaged his forehead slowly.

Nodding slowly in response. Gerald came out while Roxena washed her face. A moment of self-stay in front of the mirror. Her pretty face looks tired. His eye bags are clearly visible. Roxena let out a rough sigh. It's more serious fighting with Gerald than dealing with work.

Complete lunch, do not forget the red bean porridge order Roxena is also available. "Do you have a job problem, Xena?"

"More precisely with you" Roxena said.

Gerald was immediately bowed. "Sorry."

Gerald gave up first?! He admitted defeat?! Roxena gasped, this is the umpteenth time.

"I shouldn't have set my sights on my last dream" she said.

"What dream?" Roxena put down the bowl of porridge.

Gerald looked doubtful, afraid to tease Roxena's old wounds. It's just hard to avoid.

"You killed yourself with a baby in your womb."

The deg!

Roxena's heart stopped beating. The memories began to approach. Suicide, that's how he died in the first life. Died with his two children.

"J-so you think I'm gonna kill my baby now?"

"I'm scared. I don't want it to happen again."

"You're right, I did kill myself along with the kid. It's just ... Do you know my reason, Gerald?"

Gerald shook his head. Gerald felt he never really understood Roxena. All Roxena's actions still felt gray to him.

"Because I'm scared." Roxena's tone was weak.

"Rey, my five-year-old son is gone. Back then, Rey was just my reason for staying put. You, I hate you."

"I can't continue my life anymore. And if I can, I'm afraid I can't look after and love that kid well. I'm afraid he's suffering because in my heart, he's the son of the one who ruined my life and happiness."

So, mentally, indirectly, Gerald was the culprit.

"But it's all the past. Now I want a child. I'll love him. I will make the world celebrate his birth" Roxena said with confidence.

"Xena .. I'm sorry." It feels like a thousand regrets and a million words of forgiveness are not enough. The man looked down inside.

Roxena smiled knot. It's all over. He also began to feel happiness. So, he tolerates Gerald's fear.

"Forget it."
