Love Worth Fighting For

179 Another wound

It’s been hit by iron, maybe it’s the most appropriate proverb for Elena at this time. After knowing yesterday that her parents had died, this morning Elena was surprised by the presence of a white pill on a small plate next to Romaria’s breakfast. Elena’s heart felt like it was being stabbed from the inside at this moment.

“Sorry Miss, I have to do this,” said Romaria quietly as she pointed her cellphone camera at Elena. “I was only carrying out the young master’s orders.”

Elena who was still in shock seeing the contraceptive pill in front of her eyes slowly raised her face towards Romaria who was standing in front of her. “Ok, I’ll drink it soon.”

Romaria nodded slowly, although she didn’t have the heart and felt sorry for Elena but Romaria still did her job. From where she was standing, Romaria could see Elena had tears in her eyes as she swallowed the pill Christian had given her. Romaria was absolutely sure that right now Elena was so devastated. After being lured by a happy life after marriage, Elena turns out to have to swallow a bitter reality that is so painful.

“Did you record it?” Elena asked quietly, holding back tears.

“Already Miss.”

Elena smiled. “Can I eat now?”

Romaria nodded quickly. “Of course you can, Miss. You do have to eat.”

Because it was not strong, Romaria finally decided to get out of Elena’s room. She knew that Elena was trying to hold back her tears right now.

.....

“What a poor girl,” said Romaria quietly.

After Romaria closed the door, Elena burst into tears. Christian really wants to make her a sex slave.

“Father...mom... why did you leave so soon? Why didn’t you wait for me? Pick me up mother... pick me up, I can no longer carry on with my ruined life.” Elena spoke to herself with tears that had already flowed into rivers, streaming down her face. Elena subconsciously touches her stomach with both hands as she cries, Christian really doesn’t want that.

Muller Finance International

Although his intention had not been achieved, after returning to Switzerland, Jack had to return to work. Dozens of documents that have been pointed at his desk must be processed as soon as possible.

When Jack was busy with dozens of documents, suddenly Anne appeared with a brown bag filled with food that she had specially prepared for Jack as usual. Erick and Nicholas went straight out of the master’s room as soon as they saw the mistress enter, Jack’s two loyal assistants were very understanding.

“Hmm, it looks delicious.” Jack commented on the food that was being served by Anne on his desk which had been cleared of piles of documents.

Anne smiled. “Of course, this is your daughter’s first dish, Jack.”

“Huh, what does that mean?”

“Suri, today she helped me prepare this meal in the kitchen. She even washed the chicken and vegetables without me asking.”

Jack opened his mouth wider, he really couldn’t believe the words his wife had just said.

Anne laughed amused at her husband’s expression, Anne slowly pointed the food at Jack.

“How? It’s delicious, isn’t it?” asked Anne curiously.

“This is the best food I’ve ever eaten, honey,” Jack replied with tears in his eyes.

Anne smiled. “Grateful if you like it, because the one who chose this menu is Suri.”

“Suri chose the lunch menu this time? Oh my baby, how adorable she is. Our daughter really has grown up, Anne.”

“Yes, Suri has grown up,” said Anne softly. “Since being close to Areez, Suri has changed a lot. She’s never had a panic attack anymore, she’s also rarely angry.”

“Arrez Floyen?”

Anne nodded excitedly. “Yes, that handsome young man.”

“Thankfully then, if Suri’s development gets better we can end the same treatment she is still doing. It’s time for Suri to return to a normal life without the help of therapists and drugs, I really have been waiting for that moment to arrive,” said Jack hoarsely. “The thought of Suri screaming in fear makes me feel like I’ve failed as a father.”

Anne put the fork on the table and immediately grabbed Jack’s hand. “Don’t say things like that, we all know what happened to Suri wasn’t on purpose. It was a disaster, Jack. No parent wants their child to go through something like that, so stop blaming yourself.”

“When Suri still hasn’t been found, I always imagine the times when we lost the princess. I’m really really scared that we have to go through the same thing.”

“Jack ..”

“That’s why I want to take revenge on those who have made my daughter suffer,” said Jack again with a slightly trembling voice.

Anne raised one eyebrow. “You didn’t make Elena..”

“I didn’t punish the girl.” Jack cut Anne’s words curtly. “Christian did it.”

“Christian?!” Anne’s voice trembled at the mention of her first son’s name. “How come, doesn’t Christian really love Elena, huh?”

Jack shook his head. “Apparently not anymore, our son is already aware of all the girl’s cunning,” replied Jack casually, he slowly pulled his hand from Anne’s grip and chose to start eating, his hunger could not be suppressed any longer. The food that Anne prepared was so tempting.

“Cute, Elena?”

“Honey,” Jack sighed, getting impatient. “Listen to me carefully, the girl you have called out by name many times was involved in a fucking plot that harmed our only daughter. They made Suri suffer for years, then after three years she came to Christian. She teased her. and managed to get Christian caught up in her rot, if she doesn’t have any bad intentions then what’s her name?”

Anne lowered her head trying to keep herself from being provoked by the words her husband had just spoken.

“I know you definitely don’t like me talking like this, but believe me honey, what I’m saying is a fact. The girl’s movements were really predictable, what she was after was our family’s treasure,” said Jack again with a roaring breath.

“Regardless of what she has done to Suri and what she is planning to do with our family, I hope you and Christian don’t use violence against her. Remember, Jack, violence doesn’t solve problems. we both know and learn from all of our life’s journeys that have not gone smoothly. I don’t want what we have gone through decades ago to repeat again, all I want now is to live quietly with our children. So...”

“You don’t understand, Anne!” Jack rebuked hard. “You don’t know what I feel, even though I’m not the one who conceived and gave birth to Christian and Suri, but I still don’t want to see my children have to suffer like that. I also wouldn’t be able to go crazy if I wasn’t provoked, what did I do at the time? this is just a form of response to what they have done.” Jack’s eyes were bloodshot, his chest heaving with anger.

“Then what if Elena is innocent? What if Elena is the same victim as Suri?”
