Trapped in Chain Love
Julia's Rage.

...Elise screeched while touching back the forehead area that Lucas smelled with a flushed face, while the master chuckled amusedly without feeling any guilt or shame....

...————...

Elise continued to walk quickly towards the kitchen with her head filled busy thinking about the thing in the living room earlier. Lucas, the man who made his feelings upset was not supposed to treat Elise like a real fiancee, now he must be ready to receive additional hatred from Julia later.

"Alise! *hold on!" *(Wait a minute!)

The green-eyed woman did not seem to hear Lucas' voice calling her, she thought too much about things as she walked towards the kitchen.

"Dorlise!"

The man's big hand caught Elise. Flinched for a moment, Elise looked at Lucas who had suddenly grasped his hand and had an irregular breath.

"Sister Lucas? How come here?"

From his reaction it is clear that Elise was completely unaware he was followed earlier by Lucas.

With his breath not yet back to normal Lucas immediately spoke to Elise.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that there."

Elise fell silent. Apparently Lucas had introspect himself with his prank behavior that did not know the place and situation, even though the upset feelings owned by Elise still exist today.

"Yes, right. Lucas didn't have to do that! In their eyes we do look like a mismatched couple but that means nothing to Madame Julia. He doesn't like us who look close like real fiancees! Brother should be able to see the situation when judging me so!"

The man was silent. For a few months getting to know Elise, only this time did she see her angry with her raised voice. Elise's facial expression hardened, she tried to hold back her tears from falling back then and—Lucas, it seemed like the man had really made Elise difficult.

'What have I done?'

He shouldn't have done that, he should have played his part well when his mother was there. From the beginning Lucas knew that his mother did not like Elise who was engaged to Julian— because whatever Elise did always looked wrong in the eyes of the middle-aged woman who gave birth to him.

What Lucas did today was wrong, the feeling he had was wrong.

'But I can't help it'

The satisfied feeling of seeing a happy Elise just because of a piece of her homemade cheesecake and that intoxicating smile managed to make her fall in love. Lucas doesn't know why he's acting like a teenager just out of puberty, but he's not interested in romance and just wants to focus on the business he has.

After all, she felt it was inappropriate to go back to feeling the feeling of love for a moment because of her age that was no longer young—but this time alone, she wanted to try again.

Lucas's hand is outstretched. He pulls Elise into his arms—the woman is shocked because of Lucas who suddenly hugs her. He looked up, but Lucas pressed his head to prevent them from looking at each other.

"I'm sorry. Can we be like this for a while? There's no one here, so you don't have to worry"

Elise did not reply to anything other than a brief nod. He wanted to reject her, but because of the guilt after scolding her earlier he let them share the warm temperature in his body through the embrace.

'Just a minute'

'No problem.'

Faintly Elise felt the cold temperature on her forehead— apparently Lucas kissed her briefly, after which he let go of his embrace and smiled ignorantly.

"Sister Lucas!?"

Elise screeched while touching back the forehead area that Lucas smelled with a flushed face, while the master chuckled amusedly without feeling any guilt or shame.

The man who was four years older with him was always successful in making his heart health decline, becoming the main reason for his heart beating.

"I'll be back later. There's something I want to give you, please wait here for a moment"

Without waiting for an answer Lucas merengos went to the kitchen, leaving Elise who stood up with overflowing feelings for the thought of the incident.

"I can't think of—"

"Elise Anderson."

Elise immediately turned around when she heard someone calling her, she knew the voice and now she felt nervous and upset again.

"Yes, madam Julia—"

Elise did not continue because of the pain she felt on her cheeks. Madam Julia looked at him coldly, with a hand that floated in the air after slapping Elise's cheek roughly—the new nail she painted made her slap feel sore, sore, Elise could not avoid it as her body suddenly stiffened after receiving the slap.

"Shamelessness has its limits. I've been kind enough to let you get close to my sons, but it turns out you're getting along."

Plaque!

One slap back Elise received. Now her right cheek was completely flushed from the slap from the Julia— madamthe whole feeling of resentment and annoyance of the Julia madam as if gushing in the slap.

"What did you do with Lucas? You tease her? Just because I gave the order to perform the show you fell asleep to think it was real yes, you are just hitchhiking here! Don't be so smart!!"

Elise hush. His mouth was too thick and heavy to just reply to the words of madam Julia—when he was humbled like this, but why couldn't he defend himself? Besides, he's not the one who's wrong.

"We didn't do anything."

Elise tried to defend herself, but what she received was another slap from the middle-aged woman in front of her.

Plaque!

Elise's eyes were closed. Perih and pain, not only on his cheeks but his heart also felt the pain. Now, even three times Elise received a slap from Julia's madam.

Elise looked down lethargic. His vision began to blur because of some tears that now escaped from his green eyes. Seeing Elise's trembling body, Madam Julia snorted in annoyance.

"Don't exaggerate. I just reminded you where you are! You've interfered too much in this family with your unclear status."

Madam Julia continued to speak without caring for Elise who was holding back tears. According to him, at this time Elise just wanted to gain sympathy from him.

"Not enough to incite Noise, you even tried to get close to Lucas?

"I'm not inciting Noise." The words this time were spoken firmly. While madam Julia never thought about why Elise was so stubborn she didn't want to admit it.

"Reason. You have a bad influence on him. Noise was the son who would inherit his father's company later, but now he's bragging about being violinis and music. I know what's best for my kids, so you don't interfere!" *(Violinis are people who play the violin, just like guitarists are guitar players etc)

Apparently Noise had already said his wish to Madam Julia. If it was the old Noise, he would never dare to say what he wanted to his mother—but thanks to the encouragement of Elise, he was able to say it honestly.

"Your children have the right to choose their own path. It is precisely you who have no right to impose your wishes on your child, especially on Noise who has dreams and hopes!" Elise replied to him with a straight eye. He ventured to look at the madam Julia who reached him.

"Good parents will never impose their desires on their children, you don't even support your son's dreams. Are you really a good parent?"

Julia's tissue-thin string of patience crumbled when she heard Elise's words saying she wasn't a good parent, now his hands were stretched out into the empty air—picked up the reddish hair of Elise who was neatly tied and glared at the woman.

"So your mouth!! You know nothing about taking care of a child!!? What do you know about me and my family!!?"

Madam Julia could not contain her anger. In addition to grabbing, he even hit the head and body of Elise with his hand—although Elise tried to resist the attacks, but still some blows she received to make her body in pain.

"Mother!!"

Like a drama scene, Lucas appears from behind Elise with his hand topping a package of something—it looks like it was a dessert he made for Elise, who is, but because of the quarrel his mother had with Elise he had to undo his intention to give the food now and put the food in the bag of his pants.

"Mother!! Relax!!"

Lucas held the mother's body easily. The muscles he has are quite contained because he always took the time to go to the gym and exercise, so holding his mother's body to stop attacking Elise is not difficult.

"Take me off Lucas! I have to teach a lesson to a child who does not know manners like him!!"

Madam Julia rebelled, trying to reach Elise and slapped her again as hard as she could. According to him it was not enough for Elise to accept, the woman had to accept more slaps for saying disrespectful things to her.

"MOTHER! STOP IT!" Lucas shouted.

His voice raised by several octaves. The softest and most considerate child to her suddenly just snapped at her loudly, of course she felt unhappy.

"Please, mother." Said Lucas lirih. He begged his mother to stop.

Until begging so, Lucas must have considered Elise valuable so that he can lower his ego, even snapping at the mother.

Madam Julia won't take it. He let go of Lucas's hand which locked onto his movements earlier, then turned around to leave.

Before leaving he spoke something without looking at Elise's face.

"Never talk to me again. I'll never bless you as my son-in-law"

His words sounded very cold. Then Madam Julia left. His steps were very light just like his hands, he did not regret slapping and grabbing Elise earlier.

Lucas took a long breath. He had to catch up with his mother but on the other hand he couldn't let Elise just walk away—let alone Elise has a bruise on her face now. As a form of responsibility, he must deliver it.

"Elise, I'm sorry my mother. Dia—"

"It's okay. Take your mother first, I can treat this myself"

At the end of his speech Elise smiled. A listless and weak smile, Lucas hesitated to obey Elise's words. He felt very guilty for the woman who was four years younger than him.

"I'm sorry"

Afterwards Lucas goes after his mother, leaving Elise still standing with a chaotic appearance and a troubled day.

Elise's hand touched her sore cheek slowly, it felt sore and hot—ia wanted to cry alone.

'That's so bright'
