Love Worth Fighting For

257 Yes, it’s me

Jack, who was waiting anxiously for Christian’s arrival, was shocked when he saw Christian forcibly pulling Suri in a furious state.

“What’s wrong? What happened? Why is Suri crying?”

Instead of answering his father’s question, Christian chose to directly push Suri to the sofa in his father’s study. Luckily the sofa in Jack’s study is one of the finest in Switzerland so even if Christian pushes it roughly, Suri won’t feel any pain.

“Christ!” Jack rebuked loudly, he was not willing to see Suri being treated so harshly by Christian. “What are you doing?”

Christian turns to his father, his eyes reddening with anger. “It’s better for Daddy to directly ask this spoiled child, ask the reason why I am this angry with her.”

“Christian Clarke!” Jack squealed loudly again. “She’s your sister, what’s the matter? Why are you like this, huh?”

The loud screams of Jack and Christian were heard by Nicholas, who was busy in his room with several IT experts who were trying to secure the company’s data, which was attempted by hackers who sent threats to Muller Finance Technology and Clarke Enterprise at the same time an hour ago. Sensing something was wrong, Nicholas then left his desk and rushed to the master’s room whose door was not closed. Although not yet in Jack’s room, but Nicholas could feel the cold atmosphere from the room.

“Ask her,” Christian says hoarsely, his chest rising and falling as he speaks. It was clear that Christian was trying to neutralize his emotions. “What’s the secret she’s hiding with Areez Floyen, that scumbag from Auckland.”

Jack, who didn’t know the source of the problem, frustratedly turned to Suri, who was sitting with her head down with tears already flowing. Unable to bear to see Suri cry, Jack rushed to the sofa and hugged her as soon as he sat beside her. Suri, who was previously silent, began to sob when she was in her father’s arms.

.....

“No Suri, don’t cry like this. Daddy can’t see you crying,” said Jack softly.

Christian, who was already very upset, could only stay silent when he saw Suri continue to cry, Christian was really disappointed in Suri now. Although Suri has not said everything clearly but Christian is sure that Suri and Areez have a big secret they are hiding from the incident four years ago in Zurich, Areez’s surprise when Suri told about the girl who had saved her from her attackers when they came out of the restaurant thirty minutes which then makes Christian one hundred percent sure that the two of them have a secret they’re keeping so tightly knit.

Christian’s concentration on Suri was broken by Areez’s footsteps coming in haste, seeing Areez’s arrival Christin’s smile grew perfectly.

Clap..clap..clap...

Christian clapped loudly to welcome Areez’s arrival, Jack who was hugging Suri even let go of his embrace out of curiosity about what Christian was doing.

“Well, our main actor has arrived,” Christian says sarcastically, his lips forming a sinister smile. “Please Daddy ask him too, he can answer all of Daddy’s curiosity.”

Jack narrowed his eyes. “Who came and why did Daddy have to ask him?”

Jack’s question was immediately answered by the appearance of Areez who was invited in by Christian, Christian looked so excited to welcome Areez and this made Jack even more confused.

“What’s this, please tell me more clearly what really happened,” asked Jack again without letting go of his arms on Suri, who still kept her head down even though Areez had appeared in front of her. Her guilt was so great for her brother that Suri did not dare to lift her face.

“Answer My Daddy question, Areez,” Christian says aloud. “Tell him how you and Suri got to know each other in Zurich four years ago.”

“What? Know each other in Zurich since four years ago?!” Jack repeats Christian’s words in a very surprised tone. “How could that be?”

“Suri.” Christian speaks again, his voice shaking violently at the mention of Suri’s name. “Suri is lying, Dad.” Christian tries to hold back his tears from falling. “She lied by saying the masked girl was part of her kidnap group.”

“What?”

Christian clenched his fists, Elena’s crying face suddenly popped into his head. “The girl with the mask is actually the one who has helped Suri, she’s the one who saved Suri from the clutches of Angel Hunter who wants to sell Suri to the masher who is his customer.”

Jack’s lips and eyes are wide open, Christian’s words really make his heart beat really fast.

“That girl helped me a while ago too, Dad,” Christian adds again. “If it weren’t for that girl, I probably wouldn’t be standing here right now.”

Jack immediately got up from the sofa with a face that was getting paler. “What do you mean, speak clearly, Christ!”

Christian closes his eyes, trying to neutralize the emotions that are already burning in his chest. Feeling better, Christian opens his eyes and begins to tell his father what had happened to him moments ago. Christian narrates so neatly and in detail, not a single event is missed by him. Christian’s voice begins to tremble as he recounts what Zwetta had said about what happened to Suri four years ago in Zurich.

Jack turned to Suri with a chest that felt so tight, Jack really did not expect that the masked girl who she had thought was one of Suri’s kidnappers turned out to be the one who saved Suri from the kidnappers who intended to sell her.

“Is what your brother said true, is it the masked girl you think is Elena.” Jack stopped his words in a trembling voice. “Was the one who saved you from your real captor?”

Suri’s body shook violently, tears welled up in her eyes. She was so scared right now and Areez, who saw how scared Suri was, immediately approached Suri, trying to give support to the girl he loved.

Seeing how Areez calmed down Suri a smirk of anger mixed with disappointment reappeared on Christian’s face. “Why didn’t you answer my question before Areez? Why are you silent? Answer me, how did you two know each other four years ago in Zurich. And how do you know the masked girl too.”

Jack, who was looking at Suri immediately turned to Christian again. “Areez knows about the masked girl?”

“Daddy just ask him directly,” Christian said hoarsely with teary eyes, if what he’s dealing with right now isn’t Suri, Christian might have removed a lead from his gun.

“Areez Floyen.” Jack said Areez’s full name. “What my son said is true? Do you also know about the figure of the masked girl that Suri mentioned as one of the kidnappers? And tell me also, how did you and Suri know each other four years ago in Zurich? Were you also at the hotel where Suri was staying? locked up then?”

Areez tightened his grip on Suri’s body, he tried to calm himself. Finally, it was time for him to reveal all the secrets he had been keeping so tight.

“Why are you silent, Areez?! Quickly answer my Daddy’s question!” Christian insists impatiently.

Hearing her brother’s words, Suri who was looking down immediately lifted her face, looking at Areez with a face that was already wet with tears. Suri slowly opened her lips and asked Areez not to say anything.

“It’s ok, I’ve prepared myself for this, Suri,” Areez said so softly it was barely audible.

Suri shook her head again, she didn’t want to lose Areez.

However, Areez who was very ready to face Jack and Christian ignored Suri’s ban. Areez slowly shifted his gaze from Suri to Jack and Christian who were standing side by side.

“I was the last person with Suri after she was saved by the masked girl.”
