Love Worth Fighting For

333 Get rid of obstacles

“I’m fine Christ, don’t worry too much. Didn’t the doctor explain everything clearly earlier?” Zwetta, who was tired of hearing Christian’s chatter, finally spoke even though her voice wasn’t very clear.

Christian who is still sitting in the chair beside Zwetta, narrows his eyes. “It’s okay how? You were in so much pain and I still remember how you looked in pain, so don’t tell me you’re fine now, Zee. You still have to get treatment in this hospital until you’re fully healed.”

“You can’t force a healthy person to stay in the hospital, Chris!! After all, I just had a normal headache, so don’t overdo it. If you want to stay in this hospital then you’re the one who’s sick!”

Christian’s eyes dim, his gaze turning wistful. Seeing Zwetta being stubborn again made his heart break even more.

“Just how hard is your job, Zee?” Christian asks suddenly. “Won’t you consider my request yesterday? You’re a woman, Zee. You can’t always risk your life in such a dangerous world.”

Zwetta was silent, Christian’s words again disturbed her inner calm.

“The doctor who examined said that the cause of your headache was due to a fairly hard impact, even though nothing happened to your skull and brain but it’s still dangerous, Zee,” Christian said back hoarsely.

“Clash?”

“Yes, the doctor who examined you found small stitches on your head and it’s possible that it was an impact wound or a blunt object.”

.....

Zwetta cocked her head. “During my work, I never got a head wound. Likewise when I was a child, at that time my father only hit my body, not on the head. So it feels weird if I could have a head wound.”

Christian’s lips are wide open. “You got beaten by your father as a child?” Christian’s voice shook violently when he spoke, even though he had seen Zwetta naked, Christian did not find any glaring wounds on Zwetta. Apart from a gunshot wound to the back, the only scar Christian found was a wound in Zwetta that had almost disappeared.
Zwetta’s lip curved. “Having a drunkard and gambler father is not easy, Christ.”

Christian immediately grabbed Zwetta and squeezed it tightly. “It’s ok, that’s in the past. Now you don’t have to feel all that pain anymore, you don’t have to work anymore to make ends meet.”

“No need to work?”

“Yes, Zee. Marry me, be mine completely, Zee. I promise to give you whatever you want,” Christian said excitedly.

Zwetta looked so shocked, she didn’t expect to hear such a sentence from a man.

“I’m going to free you from Robin Jones, I’m going to pay all you owe that damn man,” Christian says again. “I’ll pay whatever money Robin Jones has spent caring for and looking after you so far, even though I know you’ve made him rich all this time.”

“Chistian...”

“I know that every mission you go on is fantastic, Oliver Lee has already told me everything so you can’t deny what I’m saying, Zee.” Christian growls warningly. “That damn bastard has really taken advantage of you and your friends, Zee. Don’t you realize this? You’ve been turned into a money machine by him, and so have your other friends. What you have is the payment you should receive for the work you have done. So if you quit and leave Robin right now you have the right to it, you are not bound by any debt of gratitude to him.” Christian’s chest rises and falls, talking about Robin Jones’ behavior makes Christian so angry.



Zwetta massaged her forehead which suddenly hurt, all the words Christian said were true. She and her three other friends do work for an extraordinary amount of money, although there are some missions that are excluded such as when hunting for Osbert for example. At that time Zwetta deliberately took the mission for herself, had almost become a victim of Osbert making Zwetta have a grudge against the man.

All this Zwetta had not been bothered by her work at all, but at this moment when Christian spoke she seemed so unsettled. Christian’s words about the debt she has paid off to Robin are so disturbing to her.

“Zwetta.” Christian squeezed Zwetta gently. “You are a woman, Zee. You deserve to live a more decent life than now, you deserve the love and attention of a man. So quit this job, this job is too risky for you, Zee.”

Zwetta lowered her head deeply trying to avoid the intense stare Christian gave her. There was a strange feeling that was making her chest so uncomfortable right now. Even though her life is now comfortable with all that Robin has given her, Zwetta feels that what Christian says is true. She shouldn’t continue to be in such a dangerous world as she is now.

“Robin won’t let me go, Christ,” Zwetta quietly.

Christian’s eyes open wide, he quickly grabs Zwetta’s and lifts her up, facing him. “Repeat, try repeating what you just said!” A cold aura immediately burst from Christian’s body.

Zwetta lips. “Robih has been chasing me now, Christ. Even though I’ve already messaged him if I want to take a vacation, I want to calm down. And in fact he has sent his men to chase me all the way to Europe, even now the hired detectives have arrived at Luxembourg.”

“Arrived in Luxembourg?” growled Christian with emotion.

“Yes, the day you were hit by a motorbike I saw one of them. Luckily that person didn’t get to see me, because if he had seen me at that time, I might have gone home by now. I’m in New York and all my passports and IDs are certain will be detained by Robin,” Zwetta unconsciously, Zwetta tell her secret to Christian about Robin, who often withheld her identity card and passport.

Christian’s face turns dark and hideous, his killing intensity intensifying and Zwetta can feel it. “Bastard.”

“But it’s not Robin’s fault, Christ. I’m the one at fault because...”

“Don’t defend him anymore, Zee.” Christian squeezes Zwetta’s chin firmly. “Don’t use your beautiful lips to mention his name again, I don’t want your beautiful lips to be used to mention the name of that damn bastard.”

Zwetta shook her head.

“I will do everything I can to protect you from him, I will protect you with all the abilities I have,” Christian says, full of promise. “I have far greater abilities than that bastard, you have nothing to fear. You won’t be returning to the battlefield again, I swear.”

Zwetta’s eyes lit a moment, hearing the words that came out of Christian made a warm feeling well up in her chest. Zwetta felt a strange feeling that had never appeared in her before, Zwetta felt happy because someone was protecting her.

After saying that Christian then removed his hand from Zwetta and immediately grabbed his cellphone which was on the nightstand, not long after that Christian was involved in a very serious conversation with several people who Zwetta hear because Christian had activated the loudspeaker on his cellphone. Although surprised to hear Christian’s conversation and Zwetta still managed to hold back, Zwetta barely screamed when Christian had spoken to Oliver Lee. Although at first Christian did not mention Oliver Lee’s name, Zwetta immediately recognized the man Christian was talking to as Oliver Lee as soon as he heard his voice for the first time.

“Do whatever it takes to destroy Robin Jones’ business, I’ll send you whatever money you need to run this operation, Oliver,” Christian says hoarsely.

“Christ..what are you hhmmp...” Zwetta’s speech stopped because Christian had covered her mouth with one hand, it was obvious that Christian was serious about his words at this time. Hearing about the whereabouts of Robin Jones’s men who had chased Zwetta to Luxembourg made his anger flare.

Oliver Lee chuckled, the sound of his laughter even clear to Zwetta who was trying to get away from Christian.

“You don’t have to pay me anything, Mr Clarke. I would be happy to get rid of that Robin Jones for free, to be honest my main target so far is Robin Jones,” said Oliver Lee seriously. “So save your money to expand your business in America only, Mr. Clarke.”
