My Beloved Stepmother's

CHAPTER 18 - Getting Worse

Forced, inevitably Zora had to make that decision. He can no longer believe Lucas can protect him. Right now, only he could protect himself and his future baby. For the sake of the safety of the baby he is willing to live this kind of life.

After all it was all his fault, it was worth receiving such a harsh punishment. Even harder, Julian was lucky to be still kind and willing to accept the baby. It's okay even though the beautiful dream is extinct, it's wrong of him who believes too much in Lucas to be able to solve everything.

Ever since Zora accepted Julian's offer, she's never been out of the main room. Julian really locked her up as a wife who made a mistake with her husband. Not done there, Julian again asked Assistant Mike to hire a waiter to replace Zora.

A few days later, he did not meet Lucas. Somehow the current lover was, which clearly Zora was not given permission to meet him at all. Julian gives her the freedom to care for the baby in her womb, even if all of Zora's needs are met before she asks.

Yeah, that's how quickly things change. After Julian's confession regarding the reason why he did not touch and always vent his anger on Zora, the man did soften a little. Either because of the pity of seeing bruises and bruises that never go away, or because they do not have the heart because the baby in the womb Zora.

If judged from that, the decision that Zora took was very correct. Julian and Zora's relationship seems to be improving, but not with Lucas. Several times Zora often heard Lucas scream outside the room. It seems that Lucas did not accept the decision that Zora took to remain Julian's wife.

Some of the servants who entered also often said that his employer had a big fight out there. Zora could not imagine how hot their current relationship was.

Until, when Julian asked her to go outside the room, Zora saw clearly if their relationship was really chaotic. Unlike Julian, Lucas also often vent his anger on inanimate objects.

The atmosphere of the living room looks really chaotic, Lucas crossed out all their family photos. As Zora recalls, Lucas really hated his father. It is certain that after this incident, it was clear that he hated his father even more.

"Sit down .. Don't you miss the air outside?" julian asks Zora to sit in the front yard, a place that used to always be Zora's escape in her own time.

Julian may have fulfilled his duties as a husband. Yes, even though Zora feels as if she is being treated well by a father. He tried to be as calm as possible even though his mind seemed to break, imagining if Lucas suddenly came and made trouble always imagined.

As promised, he will obey and not much behavior if he wants the baby in the womb safe. Believe me, he who accepts when Julian holds his hand is a form of self-defense so that problems do not become, he does not want what he has threatened.

Unfortunately, just now thought Zora's fear had really happened. Lucas, who has just returned on his bike, approaches Julian and forces Zora to return to him.

"Basic shortsighted!! Daddy hid my girlfriend in your room for days out of fear of me? Don't dream, Dad ... Zora is mine" Lucas stood right in front of Julian, now in his presence.

"How many times should Daddy explain ... Zora was Daddy's wife and she herself chose Daddy, if you don't ask him."

Julian spoke according to the facts, and that fact was completely unacceptable to him. Lucas hardened his jaw and clenched his hands until his fingers turned white. He was so angry that he hated Julian even to his veins.

"Zora, look me in the eye, is it true that you chose this son of a bitch over me? Hm?" lucas asks with a bead full of supplications if Zora will come back to him, for God's sake she really needs Zora.

Not choosing, but being forced to choose because it is the only thing that can make it okay. He had no choice at the time, however much his love for Lucas was still free.

"We can raise that child well without her, I can, Zora!!! Why did you agree to his request?"

"Sorry, Lucas."

Just an apology, but explaining everything and succeeding in getting Lucas destroyed. Lucas slowly retreated and laughed discordantly at Zora's reply, the man's eyes began to wet and it was clear he was injured.

"Here you go, Lucas .. Take it, Daddy's been kind enough to accept your son in Zora's womb, what's wrong?" julian's asking is back to keep Lucas warm.

He was ridiculed, considered weak and treated like a baby. Julian chuckles to see Lucas looking at him in despair, until moments later Lucas again attacks Julian mercilessly.

"It's good that Daddy just died .. didn't Mommy used to run out this way?" lucas asked with a thin smile and then hit Julian in the face with a raw bogem.

As if he was throwing all the anger at Julian, Lucas went blind and Zora panicked of course. He didn't stop, before then bodyguard Julian came in and countered Lucas' attack.

Zora, who was worried Julian was wretched, now turns down worrying about Lucas. He begs Julian to let Lucas go, but strangely the man seems to teach Lucas a lesson first no matter if Lucas has been injured.

"Lucas!! Please stop!!" zora shouted frantically and was about to scatter towards Lucas, but had just stepped a threat from Julian unsheathing in her ear.

"Dare you defend him, not only did Lucas end up, but your baby and your father too" said Julian, who again made Zora desperate, he was really confused as soon as he saw the reality of the impact of his actions turned out to be this severe.

"But he's hurt!!"

"Let it be, it's a punishment for being presumptuous of me who raised him to that age" Julian said, then pulled Zora's hand, the woman's eyes were still fixed on Lucas who had looked at her in the midst of his efforts to defend himself.
