Lex Talionist

Special Chapter — Perfect Day

The Flashback 10 Years Ago...

March 28th 2013.

21:32 PM. Incheon International Airport's.

Xavier will not give up. This time Xavier will try to exert all his courage and strength to get the first-love Laurine.

Therefore now Xavier with the help of Edmund is running around here and there at the airport to find Laurine.

Whether waiting for departure, already on board, or even a bad possibility of leaving the country and may not return.

The last possibility of Xavier's death continues to search for Laurine in the crowded airport neighborhood.

I hope it doesn't.

The girl he had just met had already managed to fill Xavier's entire heart. Putting all the flavors that Xavier had previously rejected as if it was an obligation that he had to feel.

For the first time in his 19-year life, Xavier falls in love.

Xavier was increasingly concerned when he saw a notice board that reported that several planes had taken off.

But suddenly Edmund came running towards him with a breath of breath. "I got word from the driver who drove Miss Laurine and Mr. Lucien earlier, that Mr. Lucien would send Miss Laurine to Russia" he said.

The directions of view are both directed at the notice board for Russian purposes. The plane heading for the country is apparently leaving soon.

13 Minutes left. The boarding check closes 10 minutes before the flight.

Without wasting any more time, Xavier immediately ran in the direction where it would deliver him to the plane.

Xavier bumped into some people and didn't care about those who were swearing at him. Because the goal is now only one, which is to prevent Laurine from going abroad and going away from her.

Even now Xavier barged into the boarding place of the plane which suddenly made the officers panic, including Edmund.

The atmosphere becomes violent. Edmund was shocked at what Xavier had just done. If Xavier manages to escape the officers' pursuit, then Edmund does not and now can only be silent staring at Xavier's madness with a shocked facial expression.

Near the plane's boarding spot, Lucien was similarly shocked.

Xavier continued to run with the airport officers chasing him in the back while shouting for him to stop.

Anyone knows what Xavier did was wrong. But everything was sweet when Xavier's eyes found Laurine among a crowd of people who seemed to be walking towards the road that led to the plane.

"Laurine!" call Xavier shouting while he keeps running.

Just as Laurine turned her back, Xavier was also at close range and hugged Laurine. Hugs tightly with sighs of relief.

The airport officials who were chasing Xavier also started to stop running. He stared at Laurine and Xavier.

"Don't go" said Xavier and tightened his arms around Laurine's little body.

Meanwhile Laurine could only be speechless staring at Xavier puzzled by his frozen body and faint lips.

...***...

21:55 PM. Incheon International Airport's.

From earlier Xavier's hand grip on Laurine's hand was not released. Meanwhile, the plane that Laurine was supposed to be boarding was gone.

Both are fleeing back. Laurine's small steps follow Xavier's big steps.

Laurine got into the car with the car seat opened by Xaviet and sat in the passenger seat. Then Xavier walked around the car and sat in the driver's seat.

Even from earlier the man's gaze was also never released to look at Laurine. Things that make Laurine more confused and uncomfortable.

"Why are you here?" tanya Laurine ventured as well as open the conversation with a slightly sideways sitting position to more clearly look at Xavier.

"Prevent you from leaving" Xavier replied with a faint smile.

Lauren's forehead shriveled. "You mean?"

Then Xavier grabbed Laurine's hands. Wrapping the girl's fingers to grasp with both hands.

"You may have forgotten what you said last night because of the drunken effect, then I will remind you again now. You said you liked me, Laurine"

Laureine's face flushed to hear it. "Am I really that honest when I'm drunk?" shy grandchild.

Xavier who saw that felt anxious and increasingly tightened his grip on Laurine's hand.

"Yes, Laurine. So did I. I like you and you like me too. Do you understand what that means?"

Laurine's eyes were round in disbelief. "Can we go on a date?" guess with doubt.

Then Xavier nodded. "Don't date. Marry you now I'm ready"

It feels to Laurine today is full of surprises. The figure of Xavier in front of him is now different from the figure of Xavier yesterday who seemed arrogant and economical to talk.

"You drunk?" ask Laurine plain.

Xavier. "So I had a drink, but my alcohol tolerance was high. I really said it, Laurine"

Both Laurine and Xavier looked at each other and smiled. But shortly after that Laurine was silent for a while when it came to a few things. Making Xavier flinch also felt worried and afraid of rejection.

"Why? You don't want to? I won't force you. Be calm"

Then Laurine shook her head. "Dating with you means I have to stay in this country because there's no way we're dating far apart. But if I stay in this country, I have to do something I've been avoiding"

"You mean remembering the bad events of the past you forgot?"

"You know what?"

"That family secretary told me"

Lauren's breath sounded heavy. "Xavier, that's really creepy. I'm afraid" he's making Xavier pity.

"It's okay. Whether you're anywhere, we can still be in a relationship. I will occasionally visit you to Russia or even move there" Xavier said softly.

"Lucien hates me. He won't let you meet me either. I'll be exiled and not just moved. When I'm there, I'm gonna be locked up like the whole time that Uncle Anthony did to me"

Xavier sighed in a still hugging position to Laurine. Then the crazy idea came up. Xavier's brain is thinking of how to get rid of some of the obstacles that are blocking his relationship with Laurine.

But his heart said no and Xavier shook his head. Killing Lucien would be like killing Laurine.

Unimaginable how devastated Laurine would be if left behind by her family for the umpteenth time.

"I'm going to fight that fear" said Laurine suddenly breaking the silence.

"I'll open that memory to continue my father's murder. Because then Lucien will let me live in peace"

Laurine's words surprised Xavier. The man released a hug and looked at Laurine in surprise.

"You sure? You just said it was so scary, Laurine. You don't have to do that for me. We think about something else, but not about it. I'm concerned. Mental health is not a trivial thing. It not only hurts your body, but your heart"

Lauren smiled with sparkling eyes. "It won't be creepy while you're around. I'm certain. So Xavier, I need you to help me get out of that creepy life"

Xavier returned that gaze with a look of soft eyes. For the umpteenth time Laurine made things that Xavier never felt.

This time Xavier felt really needed. There was a fragile girl who needed his help and it left Xavier touched.

Since then, Xavier has declared himself to give, exert, and do whatever it takes to make his girl happy.

Whatever it is. Even if his life is at stake, Xavier will run for the sake of just being able to make Laurine alive.

...***...

22:09 PM. Incheon International Airport's.

Suddenly the attention of the two was distracted when they heard a knock on the passenger car glass or glass next to Laurine.

Apparently it was Lucien who was already in the car park area. Not to forget there is also Edmund who follows Lucien with his head lowered like fear because he realized what he did a moment ago was wrong.

Edmund who helped Xavier to prevent Laurine from leaving is certainly at odds with Lucien.

Lauren stepped out of the car first. Bravely face Lucien who looked so angry.

Xavier got out of the car and stood next to Lauren. Lucien's gaze, which had originally been fixed on Laurine, became diverted towards Xavier.

"Actually who are you? Yesterday you helped Laurine escape in the hospital, now you also suddenly come and do the same thing as yesterday. Who are you? Her hero? White riding prince Laurine?"

Xavier had not yet opened his mouth to answer, Lucien's hand was raised to throw a punch at Xavier.

But before that really happened, Laurine first blocked Lucien with all her might. Preventing his twin brother from hurting Xavier.

Then Lucien threw out his hand while sneering. "It looks like this guy is so special. Who her? Your lover?"

Laurine and Xavier share their views. It also did not go unnoticed by Lucien and Edmund.

Laurine took Xavier's right hand. Making Xavier a little surprised at this brave act of Laurine who dared to nod her hand in front of the twin sister of the girl.

"Yes. She is my lover" said Laurine firmly.

Lucien's laughter broke instantly. Then stared cynically at Xavier and Laurine in turn. "You sure? Look at her looks, Laurine. Battered face and pungent smell of alcohol. Like a bandit thug!" cibir Lucien's.

What Lucien said was true. Xavier's current appearance was also noticed by Laurine. There were reddish bruises on Xavier's handsome face and also the smell of alcohol was clearly smelled.

Laurine's logic says that Xavier is a person who seems to have been close friends with a hard and challenging life. Or like a thug like Lucien said.

Edmund, who was previously held by Xavier at gunpoint, also put his suspicions on Xavier's background.

"Be polite to her" said Laurine, staring at Lucien sharply.

Lucien sniffed his shoulder indifferently and then pulled one of Laurine's hands. "Now come with me. Failing to go to Russia does not mean you will fail to go to another country. I'll send you to a country further away and make sure you don't come back to this country"

"Don't do that to Laurine! She's your twin sister that you should love and not be this ignorant!" xavier said in a high voice while releasing Lucien's check on Laurine's hand.

Xavier hid Laurine's body behind his. Trying to protect Laurine from Lucien.

"I don't need your opinion!" snapped Lucien riding a apoplexy.

"I deserve my own life. Please. Don't send me abroad, Lucien" please Laurine.

Lucien rolled his eyes lazily. "You remember our agreement this afternoon? You can stay here and I'll admit you're my sister on the condition that you open up the memories you've forgotten, Laurine!"

Laurine sighed. "alright. I'm going to reopen those bad memories to help solve my father's murder case" Laureine said in the end, leaving Lucien a little distrustful.

Likewise Edmund who had just been silent. "Miss, but you're saying if it's very painful for you"

"Certainly that?" lucien asked making sure in a deep tone of voice from before.

Then Laurine nodded and glanced at Xavier who was also looking at her. "On additional terms you must also agree to my relationship with Xavier"

In a moment Lucien was silent with the brain weighing the request of Laurine.

Xavier awaits Lucien's reply. His hand grip on Laurine tightens. Her heart was worried about Lucien's rejection of the relationship between Laurine and herself.

Lauren is also waiting for Lucien's answer to her request.

"Can I trust my twin sister to you, Xavier?" asked Lucien who was addressed to Xavier.

Without hesitation Xavier nodded steadily. Then Lucien turned to look at Laurine.

"You seem to like it a lot. Then I can't stand in the way of this. You are a normal human being after all. I just hope you guys keep boundaries in dating. I'll keep an eye on you guys" Lucien said.

Then Laurine nodded with a wide smile on her face. He looked at Xavier who was also smiling towards him.

It was a fun day for them. The day when they can finally unite and meld the sense of it into a whole unity in search of other happiness.

At that time Xavier and Laurine were just teenagers who were drunk in love and a little naive because they just thought that their relationship would be filled with happiness, without knowing if the actual bad scenario is being prepared and will happen in the future.
