Love Worth Fighting For

142 seek the truth

Christian carefully lays Elena down on his big bed which he hasn’t touched in two nights. Even though his relationship with Elena has improved, Elena still insists on returning to her parents’ house when their business at the jewelry shop is over. However, because on the way Elena fell asleep, Christian finally decided to take her back to the Clarke family’s house.

For Christian, Elena’s house which is now not her parents’ home anymore, but the Clarke family’s home, the house where Elena should live after their relationship has reached this stage.

“Excuse me, young master.”

Christian turns towards the source of the voice where Jorge is currently standing in front of his bedroom door which is still open.

“Yes.”

“Mr. Kainer is waiting for you downstairs, he said he wanted to tell you important news,” said Jorge again.

One of Christian’s eyebrows rises. “What important news? When it comes to postponing work until tomorrow, I’m already very tired right now.”

“It’s not about work, sir. It’s about Miss Elena and Miss Suri.”

Christian’s already one eyes opened wide. “Suri and Elena? What’s the matter?”

.....

Jorge shook his head. “I don’t know the details, young master.”

Christian turned to Elena who was fast asleep on his bed, it was really a tough choice for Christian to leave Elena who had been so resigned. Damn.

“Ok, I’ll be down. Tell Kainer to come straight into my study,” Christian says again.

Jorge nodded. “Okay young master.”

Christian takes a deep breath as Jorge leaves his room, while unbuttoning his shirt Christian walks towards the bed.

Cup

“I hope everything will be fine, don’t disappoint me Elena. I really want to make a family with you,” Christian whispers softly right in Elena’s left ear.

Elena who was fast asleep did not respond to Christian’s words, her sleepiness was too heavy to resist. All day following Christian’s activities made her tired, especially when her energy had not been fully collected after being sick.

Not wanting to make Kainer wait too long, Christian then hurries out of his room in his sleeping pajamas as he walks towards the first floor. Kainer, who looked so calm, immediately got up from the sofa as soon as he saw Christian enter the study which was so quiet.

“What is the problem?” Christian asks matter-of-factly.

“Mr Jack contacted me young master.”

Christian stops in his tracks. “Daddy? Jorge told me earlier that if you wanted to talk about Elena and Suri, which one is correct?”

Kainer swallowed his saliva. “Please have a seat first, sir.”

Christian lazily continues his steps towards his chair which is behind his desk. “Okay, you can talk now.”

Kainer took a deep breath, trying to neutralize the rumbling that was whacking her. It would be difficult for Christian to accept the information he was about to pass on, but Kainer had no other choice. He has to tell Christian everything before it drags on.

“Mr. Jack said that Miss Elena had a hand in the kidnapping of Miss Suri three years ago, sir.”

One second.

Two seconds.

Five seconds.

“What? What do you mean?”

Kainer clenched his fists, he had expected Christian to react like this.

“Kainer!”

“That’s the only information that Mr. Jack told me, sir. Mr. Jack is currently looking for evidence to substantiate the allegation to show you, Mr. Jack also asked me to find out the real background of Elena,” Kainer said quietly, trying to to stay calm.

Christian’s chest suddenly feels tight, he’s having a hard time breathing. The information that Kainer had just conveyed was like an iron noose wrapped around both of his lungs inside.

“What kind of rubbish information is this? Where did Daddy get this vague information, Kainer?” Christian asks in a trembling voice.

“It was Miss Suri who told Mr. Jack this information, sir.”

Brak...

Christian hits the table in front of him with a bang.

“Suri? It was Suri who said this to Daddy?”

Kainer nodded slowly. “That’s what Mr. Jack told me, young master.”

“Is Suri sure? I mean what is the evidence that shows my future wife’s involvement in the events three years ago?”

“I don’t know, sir. Because Mr. Jack didn’t say anything more than the two pieces of information I told you earlier,” Kainer replied timidly.

Christian immediately massaged his head which suddenly hurt.

‘Elena was involved in Suri’s kidnapping’

‘Elena was involved in Suri’s kidnapping’

The sentence kept replaying in Christian’s head, even though he had only known Elena for less than five months but Christian was sure Elena was not that kind of girl. Elena was the cleanest and purest girl he knew, Elena couldn’t possibly be seen in such a gruesome act.

Christian really doesn’t know what to do at this point, the drowsiness and tiredness that previously plagued him is gone. The information that Kainer had just conveyed completely left him speechless.

“I will re-investigate the existence of this information by starting to investigate Elena’s family background, sir. I will start working on it tonight and will inform you of the results as soon as possible,” Kainer said again.

“Not.”

“Pardon?”

Christian lifts his face, staring intently at Kainer. “Prepare for a flight to Geneva tonight.”

“Are you serious, sir?” asked Kainer in disbelief. “Aren’t you and Elena getting engaged in two days.”

“I have to directly ask Suri the truth, I want to hear this information directly from Suri. Suri can’t lie to me, so I have to talk to her directly to confirm this rubbish information,” Christian said hoarsely. “And for the matter of my engagement with Elena can be rearranged after I return from Geneva, which I definitely have to finish this information first. We investigate the background of Elena from Geneva.”

“Yes sir, I will prepare for our flight tonight.”

“And..and make sure Elena or her family doesn’t know about this matter, I don’t want them to know that we are investigating the incident of Suri’s kidnappers three years ago. Make sure Elena and her family stay in Luxembourg until all this investigation is completed,” added Christian again.

“Yes sir, I understand.”

With a face that looks so disappointed Christian gets up from his chair and leaves Kainer, Christian walks towards his room on the second floor with mixed feelings. He was still so shocked by the information he had just heard.

When he gets to his room, the first thing Christian does is sit on his big bed with his mouth shut tightly staring at Elena who is still fast asleep. With the innocence that Elena has shown so far, Christian never expected that he would hear such terrible news as he just heard a moment ago.

“Is this innocence of yours just an act, Elena? Were you really involved in kidnapping my sister three years ago?”

“Was your appearance before me part of your evil plan, Elena?”

“I love you so much, Elena. Please don’t disappoint me... you’ll regret it if you disappointed me. I could be a very terrible person if you were really involved in that incident Elena.”

Elena, who was really sleeping, didn’t give any reaction to the line of sentences that had just come out of Christian’s lips, Elena didn’t know if a big storm was currently stalking her. Her newfound happiness was at stake.

Wanting to arrive in Geneva soon, Christian slowly got out of bed and walked to his walk-in closet. In a short time Christian was out of the room with a black gun that was loaded with bullets, after making sure the gun was safe, Christian then put the cell phone into his shirt and stepped out of his room, leaving Elena who is currently being suspected of involvement with the horrific incident that happened to the Clarke family three years ago.

Although at this time Christian did not believe in the truth of the information, his heart was filled with such great fear.

“Please come in sir, our plane is waiting at the airport,” Kainer said quietly, inviting Christian to board the helicopter that was ready to take him to the airport.

Christian nods slowly, with a slight bow Christian gets into his helicopter. As soon as Christian entered, Kainer immediately ran to the other side to catch Christian in. After Christian and Kainer finished fastening their seat belts, the pilot immediately took the black helicopter with the big C logo flying to the airport.

Christian’s eyes are still fixed on his room where the lights were still on when the helicopter took him in the air, his heart beating so fast.

“Please don’t disappoint me, Elena. Don’t ruin all my dreams... I beg you.”

“I managed to find her, but she didn’t recognize me, she looked at me like she was staring at a stranger.”
