The Love Trap of the Ruler.

Chapter 295. Is he really going to step down from his post?

“Laura? Have you seen the news about Adelia?” Graciella came to her best friend's room who seemed not even awake even though the clock had shown at 09:00. Laura absolutely can not sleep, I don't know, said people sleep difficulties will happen if the pregnancy has entered the third trimester. But for Laura's case, she even felt it from the beginning. Therefore, he who just slept early in the morning, replied by sleeping until noon.

“What news?” laura asked still unwillingly to leave the smell of her pillow. His eyes grazed several times closer to the friend whose stomach was much more distended than her Graciella sat with her face that seemed unable to cover her shock.

“Look at first.” Graciella immediately pressed the remote television button in Laura's room. Take a few television programs before she finds what she's looking for.

Laura was definitely staring at that lazily. His life was still flying in the clouds, even if he felt that what his friend said was not important at all. Laura will be angry soon.

However, even by reading the title alone Laura had already widened her eyes.

“Adelia? Cheating?” laura asked with widened eyes, perfectly round and gaping fur in disbelief. “How can that be? Right here! Increase the volume of the sound!” Laura snatched the remote from Graciella's hand for fear of being fooled by her unfocused eyes. But what he heard seemed to confirm what was there. Especially the photos shown there. Laura was completely in disbelief until she held her head.  “So Adelia also cheated?”

Graciella just kept quiet to notice what was plastered in front of her television screen. The more he noticed, the more he doubted that the woman was having an affair. There was a sad and lonely look on Adelia's face even when she was with him. Even if he has to admit. In some other photos, when Adelia laughed, she looked much better. Graciella –with all the sharpness of her brain– felt they just spent time together, maybe there was interest, but not a sign that this is an affair.

“I thought, I was so mean to Adelia all this time. Didn't know he did too. Uh! Now I feel relieved. Turns out I didn't hurt her too much.” Laura breathed. All this time he thought that she was the most evil woman. Clearly in love with a man who has become the husband of people, although at first the man has forced him. But, with her innocent and elegant face, Laura never thought Adelia could do it.

“I don't think.” Graciella bit her lip. Bad memories appear. She knew exactly what Adelia was feeling. Probably the same as how he felt when he first met Xavier.

“Eh? What?” asked Laura with a wrinkled face.

“It's okay. Get up, and have breakfast. You have to keep your food intake from now on, right?” graciella sighed as she tried to stand with her stomach rounded. Not wanting to explain further. Only, now that Laura's position was not a position that could sense it, and again, if Graciella said it, she was afraid that Laura was thinking about it more and more and that it was not good for her content. Anyway, for now, Graciella can't do anything.

“Gracie ..” Laura caught Graciella's hand staring at her best friend. “What's up? You know my brain is sometimes dull, especially now, it feels like my brain is really slow. Maybe because since childhood I was often sick and given a lot of drugs.” Laura poked her lips like a duck.

Hearing that Graciella couldn't help but laugh. “As a doctor, you should know it's just a myth.”

“Ya, but ... what is it?” ask Laura. I felt something covered by my best friend. Graciella likes to be mysterious.

“It's okay. It's just your feeling.” Graciella smiled sweetly as she patted the back of the hand of the friend who took her breath. Want to not accept that.

Say that Laura is a bad woman. But somehow, from his little heart, came a glimmer of hope.

Would it be better for both?

Laura rubbed her flat stomach slowly while hoping for anxiety.

Flickering blitz lights from the reporters made Antony's glare that inevitably finally appeared in public. With the entire presidential guard ready around him. Keep it even from colleagues, acquaintances, even Adelia's family or even Antony.

Antony stared at the dozens of presses crammed into the presidential hall. Staring with his stern face and firm eyes. With a neat black suit he walked slowly towards the prepared table. Return the entire camera beam and light towards him. Antony could not even clearly see the even heartless curious faces before him.

“Happy day.” Antony's heavy voice echoed throughout the room. Making a noise and also a camera blitz that was boisterous suddenly silent for a moment. Of course they do not want to miss what a President who betrayed his capital with one of his passports will say. Antony took a deep breath.

“I know that this news surprised everyone. And of course, for me too. I also can't blame anyone right now, either the people who've been trying so hard to explore all of our private lives together or Adelia, even the man you took his picture with my wife.” Antony was silent for a moment. Every now and then the camera blitz sounds again, as if as a reminder that Antony must finish it immediately.

“At this point, I realized that we can't make everything perfect. People voted for me, gave me responsibility to take care of this whole country and I accepted it. But, right now, I think there are a lot of people, especially opponents of my political party who might be getting their opinions out on this. How can a president like myself care for, build and raise this country if someone like me can't even keep my wife. I'm sure it will appear in the news soon.” Antony smiled wryly at it. Make everyone there stare. Even Luara and Graciella who saw it could only remain silent. I don't know, whether Antony does feel sadness or how, but Graciella even Laura admits, the man is very smart to do his sadness.

“Yes, and the one to blame is me. I'm too focused on my job. Doing everything for the sake of this country and the people who voted for me until I forgot that there was one person waiting, waiting for me, and also needing my attention. I used to think that housekeeping would be like living together, understanding each other and then going well. Without thinking that taking care of a household is as difficult as taking care of a country. The little conflicts that I often ignore become big conflicts. And, yes, it all just happened. I'm not going to corner Adelia. But I admit it was all my fault. I'm sorry, if I say all these useless things. And here.” Antony who had been sitting quietly stood up, with a face so sorry directly staring straight at one of the cameras in front of him. “ I am on behalf of the president and also my wife, apologizing for the mass furore we are doing. And with this also, I declare my resignation from the presidency and hand over my office to my deputy. Again, I'm sorry. Thank you.” Antony finished his interview quickly and immediately walked off the podium which of course was immediately pursued by journalists who were dissatisfied. As if given a piece of the story, but completed in a hurry by the driver of the story. They need to dig it deeper.

Graciella and Luara immediately threw her gaze. Both lips were locked perfectly. Didn't expect that it would come out of Antony's lips.

Did ya? He's gonna step down from his post?

Hi brother, haha, the full moon is finally moved to write this. I'm done. But it may be a little rushed, and the writing style is also a little different to the one it used to be. Sorry if I disappointed you. I kept my promise to some faithful people waiting for this story.
