Love Worth Fighting For

201 Suri’s big Secret

When Johan found out that Jack was hunting for the daughter of the Wilson family who was romantically involved with Christian, two months ago Johan ordered his men to burn down the two-story Wilson family’s house, not long after the house was empty. Johan wants to make Elena Wilson, whose whereabouts are still unknown, Johan really wants to stir up the atmosphere in the Clarke family.

Just like his father who had tried to destroy Jack and Anne’s household, this time Johan wanted to do the same for Christian and Suri. Apart from wanting to make Suri satisfy his lust, Johan also wants to make Christian, who he considers arrogant, cry blood. Johan wants to make that annoying Christian the most miserable man in the world, so he decides to burn down the Wilson family’s house. Johan wants to make Christian feel guilty about Elena Wilson. And in silence, Johan has ordered his men to join in looking for Elena. After learning that Elena is suspected of being involved in the kidnapping of Suri three years ago, Johan wants to be a hero to Elena. Johan wants to show his support for Elena because Johan feels that if he manages to get Elena to be on his side, his dream of destroying Christian will be realized more quickly.

After Johan left, Asher and Suri had a serious conversation. Although Asher is not given the task of guiding Suri, Asher always shares his knowledge with his younger sister without hesitation. Asher, who was very happy when he found out that Suri had started working in the office, decided to become a special mentor for her, even though Suri currently has Areez, a personal mentor who always monitors her learning outcomes for the past two weeks.

“You’re a fast learner, Suri. I’m really proud of you,” Asher said honestly.

Suri chuckled. “I’m still learning, don’t praise me too much. There’s a lot more that I need to master before I actually work.”

“Don’t be too hasty, if you’re still not clear you’re still allowed to study, Suri. Uncle Jack didn’t force you to take on a project right away, right?”

Suri shook her head. “No, but I want to let everyone know if Suri Mireya Clarke, who they have called a spoiled princess, is able to work. I really want to keep people’s mouths shut with the achievements I have, like you and Christian have. I Also want to get the award trophy from you two, Asher.”

Asher smiled, he lovingly stroked Suri’s hair which was now dyed black. “Don’t worry, in the future you will definitely get everything you want. All you need to do now is listen to all those people’s sneers without replying, just show them your success. I’m sure they will shut up on their own.”

“Yeah, those are also the words Areez said to me,” said Suri softly with blushing cheeks, mentioning Areez’s name embarrassed her for no reason.

.....

“Areez, Areez Floyen you mean?”

“Yes, how many Areez do I know? I only know one Areez,” replied Suri softly.

Asher’s expression slowly changed, he also immediately changed his sitting position. “Actually when did you meet that guy from Auckland, Suri? I always forget to ask you this.”

“W..why?”

“Nothing, I was just curious,” replied Asher quickly. “I just wanted to get to know him better, if he’s originally from Auckland and has a lot of knowledge about the city he should understand the crime that exists in that city.”

Suri tilted her head. “What do you mean? I do not understand.”

“I want to ask Areez if he knows about the criminal who has held you captive for three years in that city, Suri,” Asher said quietly, his face so serious as he spoke.

“A..asher...”

Realizing that Suri panicked, Asher immediately grabbed Suri’s hands which were already cold. “Don’t be afraid, Suri. I don’t mean to bring up the terrible incident, I just want to catch the person who has made you suffer. I want to make calculations with him.”

“You don’t have to do that, Asher. I don’t want you to get hurt,” said Suri hoarsely with teary eyes.

“Suri.” Asher squeezed Suri’s fingers gently. “I won’t get hurt, I’ll be fine. As long as I do everything according to established procedures everything will be safe, I also know that I won’t be able to work haphazardly.”

“I..I don’t want you to look for that person, I don’t want to remember what happened again. I don’t want to, Asher.”

Asher who was sitting in front of Suri’s desk immediately got up from his seat and immediately approached Suri and hugged her tightly. “Ok...ok...I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Suri. Don’t be afraid anymore, I won’t talk about that incident again. Don’t be afraid, okay?”

Suri nodded slowly, with tears in her eyes. Suri tried to normalize her heartbeat which was racing very fast right after hearing Asher’s words, who wanted to make revenge with the person who had held her captive for years in Auckland. Suri doesn’t want her little secret with Areez to be revealed, Suri is the only reason why until now Areez has not apologized to Jack and told all the truth that happened. Suri doesn’t know if her selfish decision makes a family fall apart, Suri doesn’t know if her actions make a girl lose all her beautiful dreams.

Asher let go of Suri’s embrace after Suri had calmed down, Asher carefully wiped Suri’s tears that still remained on her beautiful face. “How about now we go to the canteen, in the canteen there is a new menu of food that you must like?”

“How about Johan?”

Asher smiled. “I’ll tell him to follow us to the cafeteria.”

“Okay, but wait for me to put my makeup first, okay?”

“Okay, boss.”

Suri chuckled amused, after grabbing a small pouch from her desk drawer, Suri then walked to the bathroom to tidy up her slightly messy makeup. Suri, who always wants to look perfect, wants to make sure that her makeup doesn’t change.
