The Love Trap of the Ruler.

Chapter 26. Prove it! Kiss her!

““Excuse everyone. I'm too old to be here. Enjoy the party and forgive me if I have to go back to my room to rest. Enjoy it while you're young" Liliana said. He approached Xavier for a moment. “Live longer. Their herbs are for grandma. Grandma can not stand all this frenzy,” said Liliana. Liliana's gaze moved towards Graciella who had seemed nervous and tense. He raised the corner of his lips, then pulled out a gesture for Graciella to get closer.

“Don't be too nervous" whispered Liliana to Graciella who leaned her body towards Liliana. “They're all sycophants. No matter how good you are to them, they'll keep talking about you in the back. Get used to it if you want to get into the Qing.” family Liliana blinked one eye at Graciella. Graciella raised her eyes. He had not expected to hear something like this coming out of Liliana's lips that from earlier looked so classy.

“Please help my granddaughter to keep that woman away, I don't like her!” liliana said again that made Graciella's eyes widen. Liliana just laughed looking at the shocked face of Graciella. Graciella also contracted Liliana's laughter. Devina on the other end was hot to see Graciella's proximity to Liliana.

“Alright, I'm sorry," said Liliana back to maintain her attitude and immediately left the crowd. Graciella returned Liliana's smile before she disappeared from her sight. The behavior of Liliana made Graciella shake her head, this family is really hard to guess. Graciella's eyes involuntarily pointed at Xavier. Xavier only raised one corner of his lips.

“Do your grandmothers know we're just pretending?” graciella asked, not believing that the grandmother and granddaughter were plotting to break Xavier's engagement.

“He asked me to bring someone,” replied Xavier who actually did not give on the question from Graciella.

“So she knows or not?” asked Graciella again, as if toyed with by this grandmother and grandchild.

“Can know, can also not.” again Xavier gives floating answer. Graciella got upset by herself. It's better to stay still, thought Graciella who several times had to nod slowly to let some guests go home to make the atmosphere more serene there. Graciella was finally able to breathe more freely. After this the debt will be done and he will be free of this man, right?

“Grachiella?!” Devina came out of nowhere and suddenly pulled Graciella's hand so violently that she almost fell down. Graciella was certainly shocked, the pull was rough and made her hand hurt, fortunately just when she wanted to fall. Xavier catches Graciella's body. Xavier's burly hand held Graciella's small waist.

Of course this action from Devina made everyone who lived in the room shocked and speechless. They saw the reckless action of Devina who hit her rival directly. Anyone in the room knows how crazy Devina is about Xavier. Even some of them chose to remain at the party because they wanted to see how Devina hit Graciella. It will be a fun spectacle for them.

“I can't believe you're Xavier's partner! How can a woman like you be Xavier's partner! Only I deserve to be his partner!” devina said with great emotion. From the look of his face, he was drunk.

“Devina, you really have to keep your attitude. Do I need to kick you out of here?” xavier asked Devina.

“Xavier! Be quiet! It's a woman's business. Have you now lost your wife by taking care of women's affairs? This is my and her business. Or is your woman too weak to face me that you should face me?” Devina looked at Xavier with angry reddened eyes. Those angry eyes then returned towards Graciella who was just silent. This woman is so fucked up, it must be so painful to see the man we love with another woman. Instead of being angry, Graciella felt sad to see Devina.

“I can't speak. It's just that I feel sorry for you. How can you keep trying to get a guy who doesn't even like you?” ask Graciella. “How can you survive to get someone when it hurts you so much? Why not just let go? why force it to look so pity?” Graciella became emotional. He remembered these words were once triggered by Clara. The woman who had destroyed the household heresy herself and Adrean when she had just sailed. At that time, Graciella begged Clara to no longer be in contact with Adrean. She wants her husband back to her. But that's what Clara said. Graciella felt stupid to ever beg like that, it turns out Clara was just the beginning. There are still many more painful things that Adrean hates. And now, she could somehow tell Devina that.

Xavier heard the words Graciella just looked at the woman seriously. Seeing how sharp Graciella's eyes looked at Devina. But his sadness can Xavier feel.

“You! how dare you say that to me! Xavier is mine, everyone knows that he is mine!” Devina.

“The reality is now that he's mine.” Graciella directly attached her body to Xavier's body. This also made Xavier shocked. Usually this woman seems reluctant to be close to him. This time he who was writhing spoiled at Xavier even he linked their hands, clasping each other. It's not like pretending to be done until people believe, Graciella thought.

“Stay only! I can't believe you guys are a couple. I'm sure it's just your wits to call off our engagement. I'm sure! you guys conspired to get me to cancel this engagement!” Devina. Still unaccounted for, he could be defeated by this woman. “Prove if you are lovers. If you can prove it, I will accept the cancellation of this engagement!”

“We don't need to prove anything to you,” Xavier said flatly. He was about to leave from there. But Devina quickly confronted Xavier.

“Where are you going? scared of? you can't prove it, can you? Xavier's! Don't be so petty. Get rid of this stupid charade! I will never cancel this engagement! and You! cheap lady! how can you be asked to pretend to be Xavier's girlfriend? Really cheesy! how much did he pay you?” Devina fiery. Everyone was just silent seeing this fight. Right no, it's a very pleasant spectacle.

Graciella felt already immune to listening to cheap, disgusting words and others. He had listened to her so often that he had no problem with the words now. Even when he didn't do anything wrong, he was always branded as such. So now it feels normal.

However he felt his hand being grasped by Xavier being re'mas by him. Graciella then looked towards Xavier. His face was like anger. Why is Xavier angry? from earlier it seemed like his face was indifferent and flat. But now why does it look so angry?

“Then what do you want us to do?” xavier's voice was resolute with his angry tone.

“Cium him!” Devina. He knows Xavier. He couldn't kiss a woman. He could certainly hold hands and also be close to the cheap woman. But if you kiss her? Devina was sure she wouldn't!
