Lex Talionist

Special Chapter — His Auspices

Flashbacks...

December 29th 2016. 07:38 PM. Garden Park's.

On a date tonight, they decided to go to a beautiful park. Along with millions of stars that are showing themselves and snow that continues to fall from the top there.

From earlier Xavier's gaze continued to be directed at Laurine who was sitting next to him with a slightly sideways sitting position and her hands rested on the bench.

"What's wrong?" ask Laurine who feels a little uncomfortable.

"Why? Can't I look at my future wife like this?"

Then Laurine nodded. "Wife candidate? Are you going to marry me?"

Xavier nodded enthusiastically. "of course. Even marrying you right now, I'm ready" she said with a big smile and sparkling eyes.

"Marriage isn't that easy" says Laurine.

"For me it's easy. If all I'm gonna marry is you. The storm I will defeat in order to make you mine"

Hearing Xavier's sweet words earlier, made Laurine's heart sliced to feel so great Xavier's love for her.

"Oh yeah, by the way what are you going to tell me? Did you ask me to meet because you wanted to say something? What'sthat?" xavier said back.

"Ah, that-"

Laurine tilted her body to stare more fixedly at Xavier. Sighing his breath to prepare himself said the thing he had prepared to say to Xavier over these past few days.

Not the usual thing. For Laurine, this is very complicated and knows it will surprise Xavier.

"Do you love me so much?" laurine was half nervous.

"Yes. Hugely. I love you so much more than I love myself" Xavier replied without hesitation then brought his head closer and gave a brief kiss on Laurine's lips.

"Reason?"

Then Laurine asked again and Xavier looked like he was thinking.

"Hmmm. Does love need a reason?"

"certain. Like I love you because you make me feel protected. Lucien has always protected me, but somehow your protection always reminds me of my late father"

"Then my answer is also not far from your answer. I love you because you make me feel protected. Your love for me seems to replace the affection of a mother I've always wanted so much"

Laurine nodded her head and for the umpteenth time sighed a sign that her heart was not calm.

"But Xavier, what if parting is the right way for us right now?"

Xavier looked at Laurine more seriously this time. Then both of her hands grabbed Laurine's hand for her to hold gently.

"What do you mean, Laurine?"

"You promised to always accept my decisions, didn't you?" said Laurine and Xavier nodding quickly.

Then Laurine slowly released Xavier's grip on her hand.

"Let's split up"

Along with the words that had just been spoken from Laurine's mouth, Xavier's world seemed to stop at that very instant.

Even when Laurine kissed her lips, Xavier was still silent. Her body froze to move or return a kiss that may have been a kiss of Laurine's farewell to her.

"sorry. But I can't be with you anymore." said Laurine slowly and stood away leaving Xavier who could only now look at her departure without wanting to prevent.

Because Xavier remembered back to what Laurine said a moment ago. Even though he actually does not understand very well the style that Lauren meant.

The way Xavier loves is by protecting. Making sure that Laurine's life is safe, even if it's a long way away that would obviously torture herself.

Ago 7 Years...

January 26th 2017. 02:17 PM. The Jung Hospital's.

Life without Laurine is the only thing Xavier can do. It's been almost 1 month since Laurine said she wanted to part ways with Xavier.

Because actually without Laurine knowing, Xavier keeps an eye on her from afar. Whether it is by hiring others or by himself when not busy.

"Miss Laurine was found unconscious in her college bathroom. He's been taken to the hospital"

Like this time. When hearing bad news about Laurine, Xavier's important business trip abroad with his father was canceled.

Without a second thought, I went to see Laurine. Riding the car at high speed and then running in after arriving at the hospital.

Xavier's legs continued to run down the hallway of the health center building which also belongs to TJ Group.

Xavier ran so fast that he finally stopped when he arrived at a room where Laurine was in it.

Slowly entering with a directed look at the figure of Laurine who was sitting weakly on the bed and was also looking at him with eyes highlighting deep sadness.

"You okay?" lirih Xavier walked over.

However, suddenly Lucien came in the way and gave him a pretty hard punch.

BUGH!!!

Lucien punched Xavier in the cheek and nearly fell down.

"How dare you impregnate my sister!" lucien shouted furiously as he gripped the collar of Xavier's shirt.

Then Xavier who heard it rounded his eyes and turned to look at Laurine. "-are you pregnant? Laurine, answer my question. Really it?" xavier asked with a smile that could not be hidden.

However, Laurine simply fell silent not answering and still looked at Xavier wistfully.

"Yes! She's pregnant with your child! Laurine won't want to hang out with anyone but you! I let her befriend you because I believe you will take care of her, but why did you ruin her instead?! You fucker!" Lucien answered with a snarl of wrath.

"His birth age has reached 8 weeks! Because it was also his condition decreased even fainted while in college earlier! You always make Laurine suffer!"

BUGH!!!

One hard blow landed back on the side of Xavier's other cheek. Ignoring Lucien's anger, Xavier walks over to Laurine, which leads Lucien to stand in the way.

A smile was clearly imprinted on Xavier's face. "I'll take responsibility, Laurine. The presence of the child seems to indicate that we cannot be separated. We will marry and raise the child together hm" he said gently by continuing to approach Laurine as Lucien continued to stand in her way.

"You think I'll let it go?! Nah! I, as Laureine's brother, wouldn't approve! The child will be raised by his mother's family only! So, don't expect you to get back together with Laurine!" lucien said again while Laurine had not yet opened her voice.

Xavier turned to stare intently at Lucien. "I've been good to you because you're Laurine's twin sister! But if you dare to separate me from Laurine and my son, I won't hesitate to finish you off!" hisses.

"Please do that! To torture or kill me! But for the rest of my life, I'm not gonna let you back into Laurine's life!" lucien's reply was no less sharp.

The atmosphere in the treatment room was getting heated up and made Laurine feel uncomfortable. The fight between her ex-lover and her twin sister made her head feel dizzy.

"I want that kid too! I'll raise her too! It's okay if Laurine is reluctant to get back together with me, but the child must still grow up with the affection of both parents!"

"In your dreams! Whether Laurine or the child is still in her womb, I'm sure I'll never be in touch with you again!"

"Stop.." said Laurine slowly who managed to stop Lucien and Xavier's fight.

The two men turned their attention to her. They approached and stood on the right and side of Laurine.

"What's up, Laurine? Is anyone sick?"

"You need something? Should I call the doctor?"

"I don't want to have a child!" he said straight and firm.

Making Xavier and Lucien surprised instead of playing hear it. Lauren looked at them in turn.

"I'll abort the fetus that's in my stomach!"

"Don't!"

"You crazy?!"

"You have no right to forbid me! If the woman who is pregnant does not want it, what can you do?!"

Lucien forced Laurine to look at him. "Listen, Laurine. I know that maybe you're so young that you're not ready to be a mother. Then you're still in college. But, I'm sure you'll start to love him"

"I know it! But, don't you think with other people's opinions of me?! Laurine Jung, the successor to the TJ Group throne, is pregnant out of wedlock! My pregnancy will have a big impact on the company image! Isn't it usually you who always think about the dignity of our family?!"

Lucien then growled. "Damn it, Laurine! I'm really angry at what you're doing! But, this has all happened! The boy already exists! Forget about anything now! Because the most important thing is the fetus in your womb! He's my nephew! The one who will occupy the succession position of the heir to the TJ Group after me and you!"

"You're going to use this kid to get rid of Uncle Anthony?!" sela Laurine twists her eyeballs cynically. "I'd guess. All you have in mind is company and company. I was fooled to think you loved this kid"

"It's not. Just--"

"Enough, Lucien! I've lived with you for 21 years, and I know you well! I know the direction of your mind!" laurine said she managed to silence Lucien who could not say anything more to refute her words.

Then Laurine turned to look at Xavier who was on his left side and look back in his eyes. "I know you really want this kid. However, letting this child stay alive is not a good thing for us, especially me. So, I hope you understand. As it already was-"

Uncompleted Laurine finished her speech, Xavier first interrupted saying.

"I hate you!" hiss Xavier with a stern look before stepping foot away from there.

Turning away from the large room though Laurine several times called her name to stop.

"Xavier!" call Laurine out loud at least three times until then her voice swallows when Xavier's figure has completely disappeared from her sight. "Xavier's..."

Matching Xavier for 3 years is enough to make Laurine know the character of the man. Laurine also knows that Xavier is really mad at her. Anger that might continue to exist forever and as if there would be no apology for her.

"No. Don't hate me.." Laurine screamed.

Ago 5 Years...

August 10th 2018. 08:46 AM. The Alpha Famiglia Villa.

Hans looked at his son who had just got out of the car. Xavier looks so dashing and handsome in a black tuxedo suit.

Laurine and Xavier's relationship has been completely broken ever since. The child who had thought would fix and reunite them, actually made the relationship both ended very badly.

Moving to another heart was also not something Xavier could do easily.

"I know you haven't completely never even been able to forget Laurine. Unfortunately, forgetting is a must"

"But not by matching me with another woman, Dad. How can I marry Helena, while I still love Laurine? I've only known Helena for less than 3 months, but I have to marry her right away?!" timpal Xavier snorted violently.

"Because opening your heart to another woman might be something nice for you to do. Gradually you will like Helena and return her true feelings to you. I believe Helena is a thousand times better than your ex-boyfriend who would kill your future son. Although he is also a member of the Hwang family, but I am sure that he is kind-hearted. You must have known for yourself how sorry you feel. He was even willing to defy his own family in order to marry you"

Xavier sighed and then nodded slowly. Hans' hands extended out to pat Xavier on the shoulder with a smile.

"Wow! Look, my son is very handsome. I still remember the time when you were born. Very small and weak. But, now you've grown into a grown man who's about to get married"

Hans patted one last time and straightened Xavier's shoulder to stand firm. "Pick him up now. Marry the woman and you will surely rise from the sadness you have been feeling"

Furthermore Xavier could only nod obediently. Sighs back with a hesitant heart before stepping his foot into a luxurious villa.

Hans also walked to the altar where his son and Helena would perform the wedding ceremony.

Xavier walked into the waiting room of the bride. Then he grinned when from a distance his ears faintly heard a squabble. The voice of Helena and someone she knew so well. That's Laurine. Is correct. Just recognizing Laurine's voice was easy for Xavier.

Xavier stopped his steps just as he was at the door of the room. Deliberately just paused to listen to the conversation of the two women who were inside there.

"I warned you one last time. End your charade and abort this marriage!" laurine said not too hard, but full of emphasis.

"No! I don't want to! It took a struggle for me to get here! I will continue to carry out my plan until the end well!" timpal Helena half yelled.

"If you do, I won't hesitate to kill you!" laurine's voice began to rise.

"You'll be exhausted by my family if you dare to kill me!"

"I don't care!"

There was no reply from Helena. Because what Xavier could hear was the sound of the slide part of the gun as if it was being prepared to shoot.

Xavier knew if something bad was going to happen, so he opened the door immediately.

DOR!!!

The sound of gunfire echoed along with the bullet that managed to shoot Helena in the head. Just as Xavier opened the door. Then Xavier who was neutral to see the incident immediately fell silent on the spot. Her body froze and her eyes rounded in disbelief of what Laurine had just done.

Within seconds their eyes met. Stare at each other without caring about Helena who is now dying lying on the floor with a body full of blood.

This was their first meeting back after two years of not seeing each other. Indeed, after the breakup and abortion of their children, both Xavier and Laurine are both away.

"What are you doing?" xavier asked in a voice while glancing at Helena who was now completely lifeless like her.

"Just want to" Laurine replied briefly and a cold tone of voice.

For the umpteenth time, Laurine made Xavier confused. There are many things that the woman is hiding.

"Go. Dominic can kill you if he finds out you killed his cousin" Xavier said.

"No. I will stay here until the woman's family comes and confess that I killed her. I'll reap what I've planted" said Laurine stubbornly.

Then without saying anything more, Xavier immediately pulled Laurine away from there. Although Laurine is trying to release Xavier's hand.

"Let go! Don't interfere in my business!"

"Your business will be my business too!"

Rebelling was futile for Laurine. Because Xavier's power is much greater than his. Then Xavier continued to pull Laurine towards a bedroom waiting room for the groom in the villa.

Hiding Laurine as best as possible while the people who were at the altar were scattering into the waiting room of the bride where the gunshots came from.

"Why are you doing this, when it's obvious I just killed your future wife?" lirih Laurine's.

Xavier turned his head back and unhesitatingly pulled Laurine into his arms. Hugging Laurine's body that looks trembling in fear.

"I have to protect you" Xavier said softly.

It's like forgetting her hatred for Laurine. Because what Xavier has in mind right now is just protecting Laurine without caring about the dangerous risks that she is doing right now.

...TO BE CONTINUED...

keywords complicated their relationship tuh 'protect each other', but, for the reason laurine did those things, xavier did not know. at all do not know even until now. like xavier tuh bucin really. no matter what laurine does, whether it is bad or good, xavier will continue to protect laurine.

and this is the reason dominic is hostile to xavier. helena tuh cousin dominic who automatically when tau helena died because killed, Dominic must be very angry is yes, because in the mafia clan or gangster organization, it is, their family was held in high regard.but, it was his fault dominic thought xavier who killed helena. also xavier who did not know if actually killed helena tuh laurine.

oh yeah, it's a visualization of Helena Hwang or Dominic's cousin
