Love Worth Fighting For

255 Areez confession

“Christian!” shouted Areez loudly.

Areez who just got out of the car looks shocked when he sees Christian yelling at Asher who is defending Suri, Areez quickly walks over to Suri and immediately hugs her tightly, trying to protect her from Christian.

“It’s ok, I’m here. Don’t worry,” Areez whispered softly to Suri who was already in his arms. “I won’t let Christian get mad at you.”

“She..i met her again, Areez,” Suri stammered.

Areez furrowed his brows. “She? Who is she?”

Suri lifted her face from Areez’s chest. “She, the girl who brought me to meet you in Zurich four years ago.”

“What?”

Because the distance from Suri and Areez is not too far, Christian can hear Suri and Areez’s conversation. Without thinking, Christian violently pulled Suri’s hand from Areez’s arms who was trying to calm her down.

“Ouchh...”
.....

“So you and Areez have known each other since four years ago?” Christian asks in a loud voice to Suri who has just groaned in pain from the hard grip of Christian’s hand on her arm. “Did Areez have anything to do with the kidnapping four years ago?”

Suri’s face that was already covered in cold sweat became even paler because of the question that Suri most didn’t want to hear, her whole body felt weak at this point. Her heartbeat was also racing so fast, Suri was really faced with a situation she really didn’t want to face. Her strenuous effort to atone for all his guilt towards Christian, Elena and Luna seems to be soon forgotten.

“Suri,” Christian growls impatiently. “Quickly answer my question, I’m not a patient person!”

Suri’s lips trembled she really almost fainted, the pressure Christian gave was too strong. And Areez who realized Suri’s bad condition immediately moved, with Areez’s lips closed trying to snatch Suri back from Christian. He tried to get Suri under his control, but apparently Areez’s plan was read by Christian. Unexpectedly, Christian suddenly lifted his left leg and landed perfectly on Areez’s stomach. Areez who didn’t have time to dodge finally fell backwards and hit the asphalt hard.

“Arees!” cried Suri in a choked voice, the tears she had been trying to hold back finally flowed down her paper-white cheeks. It was as if all the blood on her face was gone.

Christian smirks. “That’s right, your concern for that damn bastard has answered the question I asked you.”

“Christ...”

“No, not here, Suri!” Christian cuts back. “You must speak in front of Mommy and Daddy, they must know the truth directly from your lips.”

After saying that, Christian then pulled Suri’s hand towards his car, ignoring Areez who was in pain, Asher, who grew up with Christian and Suri, looked so shocked when he saw Christian’s attitude to be so rude to Suri. Asher, who knows how much Christian loves Suri, really didn’t expect to see Christian make Suri cry so hard.

“How is it, Asher?” asked Charlotte quietly. “What should we do? Christian seems furious at Suri.”

Asher, who had forgotten about Charlotte’s presence at that place, was shocked by the girl’s words, but it didn’t last long because Asher finally managed to regain control of himself.

“Come home Charlotte,” replied Asher firmly. “Right now there’s nothing you can do, this is an internal matter for our family.”

“But...”

“Nothing but Charlotte!” Asher loudly cut off Charlotte’s insistence on staying near Christian. “Don’t interfere in our family matters, you certainly don’t want your family interfered with by strangers, right?”

The smile and gentleness that still lingered on Charlotte’s face instantly disappeared, Asher’s words were so piercing that she was speechless. All of her voices were caught in her throat, Asher’s figure, whom he had always considered easy to beat, was apparently so hard. Charlotte really didn’t expect that Asher could speak so rudely to her who was clearly of a much higher social status than the man.

While Charlotte was still, Asher moved again. This time the target was Areez who had just stood up, without fear Asher immediately grabbed Areez’s arm tightly. “You come with me, you owe us a lot of explanation,” he said coldly.

“I have nothing to do with you, Asher,” Areez answered, not wanting to lose, using his free hand Areez grabbed Asher’s collar. Even though his stomach still hurts from Christian’s kick, Areez still has great strength to fight Asher. His years of muay thai practice is really coming in handy today.

Asher who was in a disadvantageous position gave a small smile. “Show your ability, Areez. Show us if you are a responsible man, if you are innocent you should not be afraid of anything,” Asher said sarcastically, although he did not hear Suri’s words very clearly but Asher clearly heard the conversation between Suri and Christian a while ago before Christian was so angry and took his emotions out on Suri.



The emotions that Areez had been trying to hold back finally boiled over because of Asher’s words, Areez knew that Asher was currently sarcastic gently. Adding strength to his grip on Asher’s neck, Areez said, “I’m not a coward and just so you know if it weren’t for Suri who detained me eight months ago I might have told Mr. Jackson Clarke and Christian everything.”

“What?”

Areez smiled sarcastically in response to Asher’s surprise. “You don’t know anything about me and Suri, Asher. So you better shut up and don’t talk too much if you don’t want Suri to hate you.”

After saying that Areez then released his grip from Asher’s neck and immediately rebuffed Asher’s hand which was still on his arm, once completely freed Areez immediately walked back to his car which was parked right behind Asher’s car. The Royce Roll car with metallic white color immediately sped away at high speed not long after the owner entered, the purpose of the car was the Clarke Enterprise to overtake Christian who was forcibly carrying Suri.
