New Life

Detainees

Not feeling well. Slow yes, sorry for waiting and thank you for waiting.

Julia fell silent, not answering just nodding. "You're scaring me" Julia said suddenly. "Have your head hit? The Maxilian I knew wasn't the one who wanted to beg for something. Tell me, what are you really thinking?"

Maxilian. He seemed to be reminded until he realized. Then he moved his hand over his wife's flat stomach. "Son.this is dad." There was a sweet smile etched on his lips. She put her lips closer to Julia's belly "You have to be strong because dad is waiting for you here. Don't bother your mother, you understand?"

Julia frowned with a look of disbelief. Somehow this simple thing Maxilian did touched his heart.

"Don't worry, I'll always protect you."

"You see? He is our son, who will always be with us, holding our hands and joking with us, and will be..."

"I won't accept your proposal before I take my revenge." cut Julia cold.

Maxilian was silent, something was piercing his heart. He looked at Julia's black eyes with a complicated expression. "I told you, I'd do anything for you. You just need to stay home and take care of our son."

Julia grunting. "It's not a wedding. It was a prison. Lian, I'm not a child's factory to you. This kid is my son, I can take care of him."

"Julia"

"Lian, stop. You don't deserve to be sweet at all."

"You're not following?" asked Maxilian coldly. He was well versed in the stubbornness of his wife. "I won't let you move, because my son is so much more important. So stay home and you'll receive all the reports."

"If so, I choose not to. Our contract, I want to keep it going. I'll be working as a model as I used to be. I'll be a good mother to my son. I will take care of her in my own way!"

"Julia!" maxilian shouted in frustration. He would continue his words before the door opened and Mery entered, followed by Lucas, Hanna and the two maids.

"Ayoyo, are you yelling with my grand-daughter-in-law?" greet Mery cold. He immediately hit Maxilian on the head without hesitation. "You bad boy! You're yelling at my son-in-law's sick granddaughter! Comehere you! I'll teach you a lesson!"

"Au grandma! it hurts." elak Maxilian dodged.

Julia who was initially in a state of emotion, now smiles to see the arrival of Mery. "Grandma, stop." the line is soft.

"What are you talking about?" kelly asked Lucas to know.

"Not a big deal. Grandfather need not worry." he replied to Lucas who walked over to him.

"Do you still feel pain? Is my great-grandson all right?"

Julia's heart warmed when she saw the worried look of Lucas who said softly. "Hmm, I think he's fine. Grandpa, I'll take care of him."

"Oh dear, my poor daughter-in-law's granddaughter. Oh my great-grandson, are you in pain too? mery asked closer after being satisfied to beat Maxilian.

Julia looked over and smiled gently. "Grandma doesn't have to worry."

"Ayoyo, you must be having a bad day. I've seen it all through the cctv. You shouldn't have to protect her." Mery wrote to Maxilian. "You're pregnant, how can you protect your ignorant husband."

"Grandmother." Maxilian's warning objected.

Julia glanced at Maxilian at a glance then returned to Mery. "Grandma, I didn't know I was pregnant. I just don't want him to get hurt."

"Ayoyo, look, look at your wife who's sick because of you and you're still yelling at her. You bad boy! Not know yourself! Comehere!"

Julia chuckles and touches Mery's soft hand "Mother, rest assured I'm fine. He's fine too."

Mery hugged Julia gently. "Ayoyo, my son-in-law, you must be in a lot of pain."

Seeing how tough Julia was, Lucas coughed softly. He turned his head to look at Hanna who had only seen everything with a warm smile. "Hanna, go call Tomas. Tell him to arrest the man who kicked my son-in-law's granddaughter."

Hanna nodded quickly. "Grandfather, I'll call Tomas soon."

"And that woman," said Mery hanging. He looked at Maxilian coldly. "Send him out and don't let him go back to.."

"Grandmother," Maxilian. "I'll take care of them myself. Aaron and Iusi, I'll take care of them my way."

Hearing that, for some reason Julia's heart became congested. It sounded like a defense in his ear. He's too sensitive or because he can't trust Maxilian.

Lucas coughed lightly and looked at Hanna. "Go, call Tomas. I'm going to see Aaron."

Hanna nodded once more. "I'll call him soon."

Mery clasped Julia's hand and stroked her. 'You don't have to worry. We'll take care of it."

"Sir," said Julia did not know how to express her feelings.

Mery nodded. "Oh right. I heard something from Aaron's mouth about the contract. What contract is that?"

Julia looked at Maxilian and they looked at each other. "It's nothing grandma. Grandma must have heard wrong." said Maxilian.

"Julia, I can't believe what came out of this bad boy's mouth" Lucas replied, glancing at Julia.

"That's just a contract. Yeah, my contract as a model. The employment contract was related to Lusi. That was a problem for me and Lian. So.."

"Yes Julia is right. It was an actual employment contract that I had not yet agreed on. Grandma and grandpa could ask Hanna that too. He knows about that too."

"Looking at the tension, Hanna tried to break up as well. "Ah yes grandma. I witnessed it myself. Grandpa and grandma know that Julia is now a model. He will always be concerned about the employment contract. Moreover, he as a substitute Maxilian was also in a company meeting at a time when maxilian could not attend."

Lucas glanced at Hanna for a moment and then returned to Julia. "Is that true?"

Julia nodded without hesitation. "Grandfather don't have to worry"

But in Mery's eyes it was different. He snorted exasperatedly at Maxilian. "This brat! You dare to make my son-in-law's granddaughter work so hard that you make a contract! Are you crazy! He's my son-in-law's grandson and you made him replace you at a company meeting? You must be tired of living!"

Mery walked over and again beat Maxilian many times. Maxilian dodged but did not complain. For him it does not matter if his grandparents did not know about the actual contract Aaron meant.

Looking at the maxilian who could not resist, Hanna let out a small laugh. He was observing everyone inside. This warm atmosphere, she really missed. Heart warms.

"Stop it." Lucas's leper made Mery stop. "Give him another lesson."

Mery nodded. "True, Julia I'm going to add your stake in China to twenty percent. And you'll also get the Lunox family's ten percent stake in Nivada."

Lucas nodded. "I'll take care of some letters for resorts and hotels and some residences for my would-be great-grandchildren. I'll also give you my share of ten percent."

"Wow! Julia you won a lot!" hanna hugged Julia warmly.

"Grandmother.." exclaimed Maxilian objected. "How can you give all that away so easily. I'm your granddaughter, she's my wife. He won't be able to take care of everything himself.just me..."

"Shut up!" mery Ketus. He approached Julia and hugged her. "My son-in-law's granddaughter shouldn't be working. He would just sit sweet and do the things he liked without anyone being able to forbid. Isn't that Lucas?"

"Grandfather..grandmother.." sidelines Maxilian while staring at his grandparents.

"My son-in-law, you can calm down now. Oh, and one more. You don't have to give birth to a boy. Just give us a great-granddaughter of a beautiful woman so that the house is not deserted. Let Lian take care of all the work until old age. I don't want my great-grandson to have to work like his father and have a face as cold as his father's. That's so annoying."

"Yes, girls sound better. I'll be able to play with him every day." exclaimed Lucas no less spirited.

"Grandmother.grandfather.." cried Maxilian once again. Julia just laughed.

Seeing that Hanna patted Maxilian on the shoulder several times. "Cousin brother, it looks like you're going to be so busy that you age. I'm sorry for your fate."

"You're quiet." Maxilian replied annoyed, but it made Hanna even more upset.

Julia looked at everything and smiled again. This warmth was something she missed so much. If his biological parents knew, would they also love their grandchildren? Will they also be this enthusiastic? thinking of this, made him miss his father and mother who were in China.

**

Three weeks later Julia, who was in her quiet room, breathed a sigh of relief as Maxilian went to an important meeting. Since returning from the hospital, Maxilian had completely restricted his wiggle room until Julia felt imprisoned. Jeni who was standing guard today looked calm and stood obediently, Seeing that Julia said quietly.

"Jeni, can you help me buy these little shoes?" ask her while showing her a red baby shoe from her phone."

Jeni approached and smiled when she saw the picture of the shoes. "Miss, I'll buy it, after Miss Hanna comes."

"Go and get it now. No need to wait for Hanna. I'll be fine."

"But miss.."

"Hurry back."

Hearing that Jeni no longer refuted, then left Julia alone. Julia lay down and stroked her stomach a few times.

"Darling, are you okay there?" ask Julia gently. "Did you miss your grandparents in China? How about we go see them there."

Julia came down from the second floor and turned off the cctv throughout the living room. His eyes shifted on a key that was still attached and a relieved smile was engraved there. Either Jeni forgets or fate is on her side. Today everyone seems busy preparing for the wedding. Until it can settle unnoticed.

As it settles out, he is stunned when a car stops right in front of him. His heart was racing but then relieved when Jack's face was seen when the car door opened.

"Julia, what are you doing here? Why you... Julia?"

Julia chose to immediately enter Jack's car without warning. His panicked face clearly made Jack confused. "Jack, I'll explain later. Now take me away first."

"But Julia..."

"I beg of you. It's about my life. I'll explain later. Let's get me out of this house first."

Jack complies and runs his car. "There's a guard at the side of the gate. Lower your body."

Julia complied so they could escape the supervision of the guards. Towards the freeway, Julia sat down comfortably and sighed deeply.

"Can you take me to the airport?" pinta Julia.

Jack looked back for a moment and then looked forward. "Julia, are you leaving? Whither? Don't mess around, your wedding is in two days."

Julia looked over, smiling bitterly. "Jack, do I look happy in your eyes? I'm distressed. Maxilian, he's.I can't even set foot in the living room. I'm not a prisoner, I want to live free as I want."

Jack widened his eyes. "Wait, you mean..."

"Yes, when you come check on me, he'll take me out. With many guards there. Didn't you see? Does that make any sense? If conceiving a child of the Lunox family was this difficult, I would rather give my family's last name to my son. Lian's attitude was so exaggerated that it made me so depressed."

Jack disintegrated. He didn't expect Maxilian to do such a crazy thing to his wife.

"We were only married on contract. Although this marriage is officially registered, there is a contract that we have signed. Today is the last day of our contract. I don't want to stay longer in a rich family house like him. I want to live a simple life and do whatever I like."

"Julia, I can't say anything about this. I was really surprised to hear that. But it seems your steps are right. I'll help you out. Where are you going?"

Julia looked at Jack in disbelief.

"You can trust me. I'm not gonna let you get caught so easily."

"Chinese. I'm going to China."

"Do you have any family there?"

"family?" repeat Julia getir. He bit his lower lip in doubt.

"You have money?"

Julia nodded with this question.

"Bring my card." said Jack later. He opened his car drawer and took out two of his cards. "You can't use your cards because maxilian will easily track you down. Use this for your needs. Now we take the vitamins for your content first. Remember to be careful in each step. Be sure to be able to manage stress because it has a bad impact on your content."

Julia was stunned, she received the two cards with trembling hands. "Jack, what did I repay you with?"

Jack laughed a little. "Is that a question?"

Julia nodded small.

"No, by helping you out, it indirectly rewards me. I want to see the excitement that will happen to Maxilian when he finds out you're gone from him. You know him, right? As long as I've been friends with him, he's always been cold and somehow that looks cool. Although he is very handsome, he is a cruel man. I don't know why women like men like that."

Julia laughed unconsciously over the matter. "Well you're right. Even I was scared when I saw him being so gentle. It's like an angel came to take my life."

Julia laughs. "Want I tell you a secret about her?"

"You know Luci, don't you?"

Julia looked at Jack flatly, "His childhood sweetheart right?"

"Love of childhood? did he say that to you?"

Julia nodded unconsciously. Jack did the same.

"That girl is no one. Not his childhood friend or lover. The girl suffered from trauma and very high delusions. Feeling guilty, Maxilian let the girl be around him.

"Trauma?"

Jack nodded. "He was just one of Maxilian's fans when we were in college. On a date, Maxilian arrived late and saw that the girl had been raped until her soul was shaken. Maxilian tried to cure him with a lie. And you know, until now that girl didn't know the truth. That girl is crazy. Julia, you gotta be careful with her."

Unknowingly Julia's hand clenched tightly. "Oh, so it's like that?"
