Love Worth Fighting For

287 Hurt together

Christian shakes his head frantically. “No Zee, it’s not like that. Shouldn’t I know more about the person who saved my family from such great destruction?”

Zwetta pursed her lips. “Is this meeting of ours still not enough for you?”

“Zee...”

“Our worlds are different, Christ. I’m not someone who can make a friendship like other people, it would be very dangerous for you to have a friend like me. And to be honest, I really don’t want to put anyone in danger,” said Zwetta seriously. “But I really appreciate your good intentions.”

Christian clenched his fists, again getting rejection from Zwetta made his whole body feel weak. Christian felt that all his bones were trying to break free from his body.

“If God really wants us to be friends, I’m sure we will meet again on another occasion,” Zwetta said quietly as she put the black mask back on her face. “So I’ll excuse myself and thank you for the lunch.”

After saying that, Zwetta then left Christian without looking back, Christian, who was still hoping if Zwetta would give him the opportunity to be friends, looked so shocked when he saw Zwetta just leave.

Christian suddenly lost his balance, lucky Ronin worked fast so Christian’s body didn’t fall to the hard floor.

“Are you all right, young master?” Ronin asked worriedly.

.....

Christian nods slowly.

“Looks like your body needs a rest, sir. You’ve been working too much lately,” said Ronin again, despite not living in Geneva with Christian these past eight months, but Ronin has always been in touch with Christian and Kainer that’s why he knows if Christian has been overworked.

“I’m fine...”

“No, you’re not fine sir. Don’t lie to yourself, for eight months to be honest I’ve lost the boss I knew before,” added Ronin again. “As for the girl named Zwetta, don’t worry, I promise I’ll find out about her.”

Christian closes his eyes again, being reminded of Zwetta again makes his chest tight again.

After Christian’s condition improved, Ronin then helped Christian to get out of the restaurant. Luckily they moved to the VIP room so that no other restaurant diners could see Christian’s condition, which was not as good as it is now.

Zwetta, who was already on the bus to the hotel, looked very serious reading an article discussing Christian Clarke from her cellphone, even though she had previously searched for the rich family, but this time Zwetta focused her search on Christian. Zwetta felt uncomfortable with Christian’s compulsion to make friends, she felt that the man had more intentions than just being friends and that’s why Zwetta immediately rejected the man with the sideburns request.

Zwetta’s smile widens when she sees several articles that show news of Christian’s closeness to beautiful women.

“You playboy.”

Zwetta who had lost her mood immediately put her cellphone in her pocket, because the hotel where she lived was close, Zwetta finally rushed to the exit. She wanted to quickly pack up to leave Luxembourg.

However, Zwetta’s intention to immediately pack up when she arrived in the room was lost. Suddenly Zwetta felt so uneasy, the disturbing feeling that made her decide to take a vacation to Europe without Robin’s permission came back and this time the effect was far more powerful than she had felt before.

“What is this? What really happened to me? Why am I crying like this?” said Zwetta stammered, Zwetta was not just shedding ordinary tears, she was actually crying. Even her voice was gone now.

Because the tightness that hit her was so strong, Zwetta finally decided to get on the bed and vent her tears loudly. Even though she was confused because she suddenly started crying, Zwetta still couldn’t stop her crying.

Zwetta who was standing on the edge of the bed suddenly fell to the floor with both knees hitting the hard hotel room floor. Zwetta suddenly lost her balance as her chest felt so tight and unexpectedly clear tears came out of her eyes. Zwetta, who never cried, looked so shocked when she realized that she was crying.

Zwetta did not realize that all these uncomfortable feelings were getting stronger when she met Christian Clarke in Geneva five days ago, Zwetta did not know that the tightness that made her cry at this time was due to her great hatred for the man who had given her a beautiful baby. Using a pillow, Zwetta vented her tears. Zwetta didn’t want anyone to hear her cry.

Clarke Mansion, Geneva-Switzerland.

Ever since Christian brought Luna back to Luxembourg, it had been cold inside Jack and Anne’s mansion. No more laughter was heard in the house, even in the dining room which should have been the warmest place in the house was now the loneliest place.

Anne, Jack and Asher did not speak to Suri. The three of them chose to busy themselves outside the house just to avoid Suri who was already under house arrest, Jack, who was so disappointed in Suri, ordered all his men to keep Suri from leaving the house. Jack even confiscated all of Suri’s electronic devices, from cell phones to laptops and Suri’s tablets had been stored in a hidden place on Jack’s orders. Even though he already knew that Areez Floyen had returned to Auckland, Jack still tried to prevent communication between Suri and Areez by making Suri not have any means of communication.

Just like this past week, Suri was the only person staying at home when everyone was busy with work. Anne, who was previously mostly at home, now prefers to travel to the hospital to find the right heart donor for Luna. Anne, who wants Luna to get well soon, is trying very hard. Anne thinks this is the only way to get Christian’s forgiveness, which is why she works so hard to find a donor heart for Luna who has been away from her this week.

“Good morning Miss.”

Suri smiled. “Good morning.”

“Your breakfast is ready at the dining table, Miss,” said the maid back so politely.

“I’m not hungry yet, I want to read a book in the library.”

“But Miss...”

“If you don’t mind, please bring milk and fruit into the library as usual.” Suri continued her words before continuing her steps towards the library which had been her favorite place for one week.

Once at the library, the tears that Suri had been holding back finally spilled. Being a stranger in her own house makes Suri so tormented.

“Sorry...I’m sorry Christ, I didn’t mean to destroy your relationship with Elena... I’m sorry Christ...”
