Love Worth Fighting For

Chapter 164



164 The mask girls is Elena

Kainer and Erick, who had been spectators of the father and son debate, screamed at the same time when they saw Christian fall on the sofa as soon as Jack threw a punch.

“You’ve really crossed the line, Christ. You’ve been so insolent.” Jack’s chest heaved up and down as he spoke, in all the years dealing with such a rebellious Christian, this was the first time Jack had been so angry.

Christian, who was already sitting on the sofa with a slightly sore stomach, then burst out laughing, instead of venting his pain by arguing with his father again, he chose to laugh.

Jack’s eyes narrow as he sees Christian laugh, his hands clenched into fists ready for another punch. Seeing that, Erick immediately moved, trying to calm Jack so he wouldn’t get carried away by his emotions again.

“Why is Daddy angry? Isn’t what I said true, right? In the Clarke family tree it is clear that Jackson Patrick Clarke’s children are Christian and Suri, therefore if Daddy wants to add them to Daddy’s family tree please provide Daddy’s last name which is not David’s grandfather’s gift ‘ said Christian coldly. “Because I’m sure Grandpa wouldn’t be willing if an unknown person suddenly entered the Clarke family tree.”

“Christian!!!” Jack snapped back. “You really...”

“Ronin called, young master.” Kainer interrupted Jack’s words quickly. Ronin really became a helping god this time.

“Accept and turn on the loudspeaker,” said Jack quickly.

Kainer, who feels that if his employer is Christian, does not immediately do what Jack ordered, he is still waiting patiently for an answer from Christian who is still locking his lips.

.....

“Sir...”

Christian nods slowly, agreeing with his father’s words.

Kainer swallowed slowly, his hands were shaking slightly and then he pressed the green button on his cell phone screen to receive an incoming call from Ronin who was still in Switzerland.

“Young master...”

“Straight to the point, Ronin.” Christian interrupts Ronin’s words quickly.

Ronin took a deep breath. “I’ve got a much clearer picture, sir. And I’m pretty sure that the girl behind the mask and the black hat is really Elena Wilson.”

Silence...

There was no response from Christian or Jack, both of them locked their lips together. Likewise with Erick and Kainer who immediately lowered their heads at the same time, Erick and Kainer who still hoped that the masked girl wasn’t Elena looked so shocked to hear the information that Ronin had just given.

“I will send the photo to you, sir,” added Ronin again.

Christian remains silent, he doesn’t give Ronin any answer. Ronin, who could guess that Christian must have been in shock at this time, ended the call, not long after that Kainer’s phone rang again several times when the photo that Ronin sent came in.

The intelligent Kainer immediately connected his cellphone to the monitor screen in the room quickly, and in no time the photo that Ronin had sent appeared on the screen. Christian immediately closed his eyes when he saw the photo that Ronin had just found, it was clear in the photo that the masked girl, whose photos had been so hard to find, was seen lowering her mask so that it showed part of her nose even though it was not fully visible. However, with the clearer photo, identification of facial similarities with Elena became more accurate.

“Look.” Jack suddenly spoke, breaking the silence. “See clearly, that little slut of yours has been confirmed as one of the gang of kidnappers who made your sister suffer for years, Christ. Open your eyes wide...” Jack stopped his words as his chest hurt. “She really has completely tricked you.”

Christian again clenched his fists to hold back his boiling emotions, his eyes still staring intently at the monitor screen which showed a comparison of the photo of Elena and the photo of the masked girl whose face is now clearer.

“Now answer, where did you hide your little slut, Christ?” Jack asks Christian the same question again, his tone heavier than before. Jack’s ambition to take revenge on Elena was getting bigger at this time, the image of how Suri screamed in terror was replaying in Jack’s head.

“Christ...”

“Elena is my woman,” Christian says hoarsely. “I’ll take care of it and I don’t need Daddy’s help.”

“So it’s true that you have hidden the witch?”

Christian turns his face towards his father, his eyes bloodshot with anger. “Daddy doesn’t need to know, what Daddy knows enough is that I will take care of Elena. Even though I love Elena, I will not stand still. Suri is still my top priority.”

“You have to, you have to defend your sister. If you don’t defend yourself then who will? You only have one sister, Christ.”

Christian’s lips curl wide, the long-awaited words finally escape his father’s lips. “That’s right, the only sister I have is Suri. Only Suri Mireya Clarke,” Christian said quietly, sarcastically mocking his father.

Realizing that Christian was being sarcastic, Jack clenched his fists again. Christian really always brings Asher in the opportunity.

Not wanting to waste time, Christian then rushes out of the room towards the door leaving everyone with their mouths tightly shut. Kainer, who was connecting his cellphone to the monitor screen, rushed after Christian but Christian’s prohibition to go with him made him freeze on the spot, Kainer let Christian go with Dimitri who was his personal driver. In fact Kainer knew why Christian forbade him to go, the master wanted him to stay at home watching over his father’s movements.

“You’ve really blown me to pieces Elena,” Christian says softly, tears slowly trickling from his already bloodshot eyes. “You shattered the dream I had built with such high hopes...I’m really disappointed in you Elena.”

Christian shakes his head slowly trying to erase the last conversation he had with his father at home a few hours ago, the words Ronin had said replaying in his head as did the image of the most recent photo Ronin had found. Christian really is in a difficult choice, not only Suri he has to defend his rights but there are hundreds of tears his mother must be held accountable to Elena, the only person who has made Suri suffer for years.

“Fuck...”

Christian massages his aching head, which his father says is true. All the main sources of trouble came from Elena. If only Elena and her gang kidnapped Suri at this time her relationship with her father would be fine, the big fight that happened three years ago would also not have happened. Elena really didn’t just hurt him, she had hurt everyone with her thorns.

Christian’s thoughts are broken when his cell phone rings, a message from his mother makes him slowly return to reality. Slightly limp from lack of rest and having not eaten anything since last night, Christian reaches for his cell phone and reads the message from his mother with hot eyes.

“Suri is stable, she is not scared and screaming anymore. The arrival of a friend has made Suri much calmer.”

Christian reads slowly the writing that appears on his cellphone screen, a good news finally heard after all the chaos that has been going on for days. The tightness in Christian’s chest unraveled a little because of the news his mother gave him, Christian immediately closed his eyes imagining Suri’s very wide smile before all the big events happened. A smile that has never appeared on Suri’s face since she came back until this moment, if not for having experienced such a terrible event in her life how could Suri have turned 180 degrees like that and this is what makes Christian very angry and disappointed in Elena.

All his love for Elena instantly disappeared without a trace, replaced with hatred and anger that wanted to make Elena feel the same way Suri had felt all these years.

When Christian was deep in his plans to make Elena tortured suddenly there was a knock on the door, suddenly Christian turned his gaze towards the door and found Elena standing in front of the door with her new clothes and looking prettier. Damn it! Three days without seeing Elena made Christian swoon when he saw her again, his slightly tousled half-wet hair that perfectly framed Elena’s thinner face.

“I..I’m done showering,” said Elena, stammering a little.

“Good.”

“I’m hungry, is there any food in this place to eat?”

Christian raises one eyebrow. “You’re starving? Isn’t there food where you were held before, huh?”

“Yes, but I only touched it twice.”

“Only touch twice?” Christian repeats Elena’s words in a rising tone, looking displeased. “Why?”

Elena lowered her head. “I’m afraid the food is poisoned or given drugs like the ones in the movies.”

“Stupid, where there is such a thing. Isn’t the food that was given to you still in the form of a tightly sealed package, huh?”

Elena instantly lifts her head and looks at Christian in confusion. “H..how did you know about those foods?’

Damn it, because Christian was too annoyed that he stopped talking. He was about to reveal the truth that he still wanted to hide a little longer.

“You didn’t forget who picked you up from that dirty place, did you?”

A gleam of happiness immediately appeared in Elena’s eyes. “Sorry. , i..i forgot...”

“Never mind it doesn’t matter, you said you were hungry, didn’t you? Come downstairs, looks like the maid has already prepared the food at the dinner table,” Christian says curtly.

“What about you?”

“I’m not hungry,” Christian replies lying, no one isn’t hungry after almost twelve hours of not eating. “Hurry up. fill your energy, after that follow me to the room and do your duty.”

Elena’s cheeks felt hot, even though Christian’s words weren’t too vulgar but still it bothered Elena.”

“Not coming down?”

“Eh?”

“Didn’t you say you were hungry earlier?”

Elena gasped. “Yeah..I’m hungry, I’m going downstairs now.” Elena then hurried away from Christian to eat on the floor as Christian said before.

Arriving at the dining table Elena’s smile widens, what Christian says is true. The maid have already prepared food for them. Because so hungry Elena immediately sat on one of the available chairs and began to eat voraciously, Elena had not realized all the oddities that had occurred. She didn’t even realize that Christian had become a different person. Elena, who is blinded by her happiness at being able to reunite with Christian, doesn’t realize that the man she loves is currently preparing a terrible plan for her.

Having only eaten two slices of bread for the past three days, Elena was voraciously enjoying her meal. Serving a variety of delicious food that aroused made Elena so happy, the hunger she had been holding back for the past few days was completely cured. Elena really did not waste the food in front of her.
