Love Worth Fighting For

288 Minus

Even though it was cold at night, Zwetta still didn’t want to leave the ruins of the Wilson family home. An hour ago, Zwetta left the hotel and walked towards the place. After knowing that the face of Elena Wilson, the kind-hearted girl who was said to have disappeared mysteriously, was very similar to hers, Zwetta was so disturbed. Zwetta, who felt that she had never had a twin sister, was so curious as to why her face and Elena Wilson’s face were so similar. What distinguishes her and Elena Wilson is the color and style of the haircut only, the rest they both look so similar.

“Why should I think about this family? Aren’t there a lot of similar people in this world, huh?” Zwetta spoke to herself, in the chair where she was talking to Mrs. Elle, the old woman she had met a few days ago.

Even though Zwetta regretted her decision to come to a place that held such sad memories, inside her heart she felt so sick. Zwetta felt so hurt and sad when she saw the rubble in front of her right now. The calm of Zwetta who was enjoying her solitude under a shady tree was disturbed by the arrival of a white luxury car that stopped right in front of the ruins.

“Christian Clarke!!!”

Zwetta immediately covered her mouth when she realized her mistake that she had accidentally said Christian’s name out loud. However, Zwetta is late because her voice can be heard by Christian who just got out of the car. The absence of activity in the place made Zwetta’s voice audible to Christian.

Christian who immediately turned to the source of the voice, looked so shocked when he saw Zwetta’s presence, Christian even blinked a few times to make sure he wasn’t hallucinating. After making sure that he wasn’t seeing the wrong thing, Christian rushed over to Zwetta who was sitting under a tree. Zwetta, who couldn’t escape, could only surrender when Christian drew closer to her.

“Hi...”

“Are you here?”

Zwetta and Christian’s words clashed in the air as the two spoke at the same time.



.....
Christian who just returned from the hospital smiled a little. “Ladies first,” he said slowly, allowing Zwetta to speak first.

Zwetta pursed her lips. “I just wanted to say hi to you, so there’s nothing to be special about.”

“What are you doing here so late?” Christian asks directly, he can’t hide his curiosity.

“I don’t know either,” Zwetta answered quickly. “I really don’t know what made me come to this place again, when I woke up from my long nap a few hours ago I suddenly had such a strong desire to come to this place.”

“Are you curious about my relationship with Elena?” Christian suddenly asks a striking question that Zwetta will never be able to refute.

Zwetta who couldn’t hide her curiosity anymore nodded slowly even though she looked a little hesitant. “Yeah, I’m really curious. I’m sure you two have a special relationship considering how your spoiled sister got to know her, I’m pretty sure you’ve brought that girl named Elena to meet your family.”

“Elena Wilson is my fiancé, she is my future wife.”

Even though she could guess, Zwetta was still shocked when she heard Christian’s confession.

“And we almost got married if only at that time Suri didn’t make a mess that would have a long-lasting impact on my relationship with Elena,” added Christian again.

Zwetta, already so curious about the story of Elena Wilson’s mysterious disappearance, touched the back of her neck, lifting her head up for too long to see Christian who was still standing; it made her feel uncomfortable.

And the smart Christian could immediately read Zwetta’s body language. “May I sit down?” he asked politely.

“Of course, talking to you like this really makes my neck want to break,” Zwetta replied jokingly.

Not removing the smile from his face, Christian then sat down beside Zwetta. Silence stretches again in that place as Christian and Elena don’t speak to each other. Sitting back this close to Christian Clarke made Zwetta feel uncomfortable, Zwetta who had never been close to a man except for Robin and Andres felt so awkward being in a very unpleasant situation like now. Zwetta is still confused about why she bothered to find out about Elena Wilson and the tragic tragedy in her family, empathy for fellow women made Zwetta feel so sorry for the bad luck that befell Elena Wilson, who was none other than herself.

“At that time Suri had identified you wrongly,” Christian said slowly, starting to speak.

“Suri, who was diagnosed by a psychiatrist with major trauma, can’t clearly remember the events of her kidnapping four years ago and I finally understood what the psychiatrist said after hearing your explanation about Suri’s condition the first time you saw her,” added Christian again, a sad smile mixed with guilt. blend into one on his face. “As you said before, no one will be fine after experiencing a kidnapping like that. Let alone a girl who is so pampered like Suri.”

“Yes and your sister is great to be able to rise from such a great trauma, because to be honest if another girl was in her position she might have experienced a great mental disorder,” Zwetta said quickly, her lips forming a smile that was so sincere. “But you and your family don’t have to worry, I don’t think Osbert and his men have landed their dirty hands on your sister. Suri’s appearance was still immaculate, except for the bruises on her neck and her tied wrists; everything was fine.”

Christian smiles. “I know my sister is still clean, I’ve done a thorough check on her.”

“Brother in charge.”

Christian immediately turned to Zwetta. “I may be a brother who loves and is responsible for his sister, but as a grown man I have failed. I am a very selfish and cruel person to my partner, to my woman.”

The smile on Zwetta’s face immediately disappeared, a curiosity that was so great immediately flared in her sharp eyes who were looking into Christian’s eyes.

“After Suri mentioned Elena as part of the group of her kidnappers, my anger flared immediately. By not confirming again with Elena, I immediately punished her and locked her in...”

“So you are the one responsible for Elena Wilson’s disappearance?!” Zwetta shrieked quickly, interrupting Christian’s confession. Christian, who had been keeping his biggest stupidity meeting all this time, suddenly told Zwetta everything without coercion.

“Indirectly, yes. I was the one who caused Elena to disappear until now.”

“If there is a word that is lower than the word stupid, selfish and cowardly, maybe it’s all you deserve.” Zwetta reacts quickly to Christian’s confession. “You are the most minuscule man I know, Christian Clarke!”
