The Love Trap of the Ruler.

Bab

Graciella just came out of the bathroom. His body that was heavy felt quite light after soaking in warm water long enough.

Graciella who only used a towel coil immediately glanced towards the wardrobe that was not far from her. Maybe it's okay to borrow a t-shirt or nightgown from Xavier. He slowly shifted the closet doors. Graciella frowned. There were also not many clothes belonging to Xavier. Maybe because it was just a house.

Graciella picked up a plain black t-shirt that was there. Trying use. When Graciella uses it, a distinctive fragrance bursts into her kiss. It really reminded him directly of Xavier.

Because of their striking body differences, the shirt certainly looks so great on Graciella's body. It was even enough to cover his body to the mid-thigh. Neither did Xavier's pants fit for Graciella. He had to tie it up so he could still use it.

Graciella saw the reflection of her body on the cemin standing nearby. He chuckled a little at the sight of his body that was completely submerged in that shirt. As she was still amused at the sight of her body, Graciella heard her phone ring. He just walked over to his phone and hoped to find an unfamiliar number on his screen. But Daren's name was plastered there.

“Halo?” graciella replied immediately.

“Halo? Graciella, where are you now?” ask Daren directly without further ado.

“Oh, me? I stayed at one of my friends' places. Brother, I'm sorry yes, I didn't directly meet you to report from yesterday. I'll see you tomorrow. Forgive the unprofessionality,” said Graciella holding her forehead, absolutely right. He was so focused on finding Moira that he forgot he had other responsibilities. He should have submitted a report about the case on the island to Daren.

“No. That's it's okay. Helena reported everything. Your work is very good and immediately jacked up the name of our investigation team. But I didn't call because of that,” said Daren, who sounded a little anxious.

“Eh, then?” ask the confused Graciella.

“Are you now with Xavier tonight?” ask Daren again hesitating.

Graciella immediately frowned. “No, I'm not with him tonight. What's up, sister?” ask Graciella. Suddenly, his feelings were not good. Moreover, he recalled Xavier's words saying that maybe he couldn't come tonight to accompany him. Did something happen to her?

“David Qing, he was killed tonight,” said Daren sounding a little slow.

Graciella was instantly speechless and stunned to hear the news from Daren. What the hell's going on? How did the man suddenly die? wasn't that okay? Anxiety immediately erupted in Graciella's feelings. How's Xavier doing? Is she okay? Graciella felt very uneasy.

“Grachiella?” ask Daren who has no answer from Daren.

"Eh? brother, do you know how Xavier is doing?" ask Graciella directly. Can't help his anxiety. He even bit his nails a little bit, a sign he's been very anxious now.

"No, I can't get any news about him. I got this news also because I have a relationship in the police."

“Oh, yes, well, uh, brother, I will disconnect the call for a moment. There's something I have to do. Uh, thanks for the info, brother. I end yes,” said Graciella hastily turned off her phone. She wanted to contact the man, but Graciella just remembered how she contacted Xavier. Doesn't he have his number? Graciella was really not calm. How does he know Xavier's? Graciella tries to call the numbers Xavier has ever called her. None of them are active. That made him more anxious. Graciella just played her phone.

A knock from her bedroom door left Graciella shocked to the point that her heart immediately beat faster. Graciella stood up and opened the door. Looks like the female assistant who was there too. Serine.

“Nona, I'm sorry to bother you, but the General wants to talk to you. He has contacted you, but your phone number is busy. This is Miss,” Serin said handing over a phone to Graciella. Graciella just picked it up. There was a slight sense of relief knowing this man could contact her.

“Thank you,” said Graciella. Serin immediately left Graciella, who placed the phone in her ear. “Halo?” graciella said slowly. He was still wondering as well as preparing himself to listen to the worst news. He bit his lips slowly.

Graciella took off her lip bite. The voice sounded slightly limp, not as firm as usual. Graciella grew anxious listening to him.

“Yes, what's wrong? Are you okay, I heard something news about ... “ said Graciella who immediately wanted to read the question. Of course he couldn't stand all the things that were now spinning in his head.

“I'm fine, But tonight I can't keep my promise. There are things I should do here,” Xavier said slowly. Graciella flicked her thin lips until they looked lost.

“Yes, I understand. I've heard the news about your father, I ...” said Graciella who was cut by Xavier once again.

“Moira is alive. But Robert Kim sent him somewhere,” Xavier said again in a still flat tone.

It instantly made the part between the two eyebrows Graciella wrinkled. His face was in disbelief, he did not even answer Xavier's words directly.

“What?” graciella asked in disbelief what Xavier had just said.

“We will find it soon, I promise,” Xavier said again in such a convincing tone.

Graciella was silent again. Where did Xavier suddenly get this. Not that his father just died. Graciella's eyes grew rapidly. He remembered Xavier's words before he left. He will demand justice for anyone who has made them this way. Don't-don't ….

“Xavier, Your father?” ask Graciella who doesn't know what to say. It would be unethical to say that Xavier killed his father. That's what's now coming to his mind.

“Tonight, go home. I'll have Jack and Serin drive you home. There will be special forces guarding you. From now on, be careful. Until I can get Robert Kim, your situation is getting dangerous,” Xavier said again like giving orders to his subordinates.

“Alright, I'll go home now,” Graciella said obediently. He could not deny Xavier's orders. I think it's too serious now. He should not be reckless let alone follow his own emotions.

“Now I have to go. I'll call you as soon as I can. Please, never go alone. If anyone comes and says that I asked him to pick you up, don't come unless I've contacted you,” Xavier said.

“Good.” Graciella could only obey but her feelings grew more anxious and unsettled. It suddenly made her feel dizzy and nauseous. Ah, his body condition is not good. “Xavier!”

“Ehm?” ask Xavier who just wanted to disconnect the one-sided call as usual. Graciella who knew just called him right away before the call was completely cut off.

“Be careful yes,” said Graciella with her tone a little spoiled. don't know why now she actually just wants to be with the man but what to say is impossible when this time she remains attached to her wishes.

Silent for a moment, Xavier did not immediately answer Graciella's words. Xavier just felt that his empty feelings were a little warm with Graciella's words. “Alright, be prepared if you want to go home. I'll turn off the call.”

“Ya.”

Directly heard the tone of the call disconnection. Graciella looked at the screen of the phone. If Moira is still alive and Robert Kim knows where she is, they should move faster. After all, they could no longer allow Moira to endure it all. Graciella needs to know where her daughter is now!
