Love Worth Fighting For

Chapter 9: Turning point

Zwetta continued to run even though her legs were already sore, being chased by ten men who were bigger than her forcing Zwetta to run even though her strength was almost exhausted. Zwetta would rather die from exhaustion than be caught, especially now that she has an important mission to find a man named Jackson Clarke as per the wishes of a beautiful girl who almost fell victim to Osbert.

“Stop right there!”

“Stop!

“Only fools will obey your orders,” Zwetta muttered quietly as she continued to speed up her running.

All Zwetta had in mind right now was finding shelter and the crowd was the quickest choice that crossed her mind, when Zwetta was looking around far from where she is currently there is a parade. Without thinking Zwetta immediately changed her direction of running towards the procession of the parade which was quite crowded. As Zwetta hoped, ten men who were chasing her looked confused when they couldn’t find a trace. Zwetta who didn’t feel safe still choosing to remain in the midst of the troupe that was currently the center of public attention, Zwetta wanted to make sure the pursuers really left before separating from the parade troupe.

“Ok, looks like things are safe. I have to go back to the hotel and find Jackson Clarke,” Zwetta said quietly, after returning to make sure things were completely safe Zwetta then separated herself from the parade troupe who became her savior.

Once she managed to get out of the parade procession the first thing Zwetta did was look for taxi to return to the hotel where she left her belongings on the mission, Zwetta quickened her pace when she saw the highway not far from where she was standing now. Still afraid of the presence of her pursuers, Zwetta finally chose to run to reach the highway. When just stopped running, Zwetta was confused by the screams of several women who were quite loud. While trying to find out what was really going on suddenly Zwetta’s world became dark and light.

Luxembourg.

It has been almost six hours Christian has not left his study, since arriving in Luxembourg three days ago Christian changed be quiet. Today is exactly four days since Suri disappeared without a word or trace, the secret police and the Clarke family’s best men still haven’t managed to bring any good news. Christian himself, who has mobilized his best subordinates, has not received any information regarding the whereabouts of Suri, his spoiled and whiny little sister.





Remembering how precious Suri is to her parents, Christian’s eyes, which are still puffy, are filled with tears again. Christian is really wracked with remorse that suffocates his chest, Christian repeatedly blasphemes and blames himself for forcing Suri to come to Luxembourg. If yesterday he himself had picked up his little sister to Switzerland, maybe something terrible like this would not have happened, maybe at this time the beautiful Suri was still in the midst of her family. Gives joy with all its random nature that sometimes doesn’t make sense.

“Suri, where are you right now honey? Come back Suri, come back my dear.”

In the photo, Suri looks very beautiful and elegant even though she was only fifteen years old when the photo was taken, the best genes inherited from Anne and Jack managed to make Suri look like a very beautiful royal princess in the photo. Even though his real demeanor isn’t what people think when they see the photo for the first time.

Kainer who was standing not far from where Christian was sitting could only be silent and didn’t dare to make a sound, she knew what Christian needed right now was time to calm down. Because of that, Kainer didn’t want to interfere with her master’s healing process. As someone who was familiar with Suri, the beloved princess of the Clarke family, Kainer felt sorry for the disappearance of this cheerful girl.

“Kainer,” Christian calls hoarsely to break the silence in the cold study.

“Yes sir.”

“Clear the schedule for the next month, I don’t want my search for Suri to be disturbed,” Christian said quietly without taking his eyes off the family photo taken a year ago.

“But next week you have an appointment with...”

“Cancel, I don’t want to see anyone. I want to focus on looking for my sister, Kainer. Before finding Suri I couldn’t live peacefully, looking at the photo of Mommy still mourning My chest feels tight. That’s why I have to find her immediately and take her home to meet Mommy.” Christian who usually spoke loudly this time spoke in a barely audible voice, something Christian had not done since he was a child.

Luis’ strict upbringing from childhood made Christian always speak in an elegant and charismatic way, but today, four days ago, after Suri disappeared, everything Luis taught him disappeared.

Kainer nodded quickly as he realized his mistake. “Very well sir, I will clear all your schedules.”

After saying that Kainer immediately left Christian’s presence, changing the schedule that had been made for the next month was not an easy job and Kainer had to finish it as soon as possible.

As soon as Kainer left, the tears Christian had been holding back for so long finally spilled out. Christian condemns the stupidity he has done, the stupidity that his entire family is now suffering from. “Come home Suri, come back to us. I promise to grant all your requests, but come home my beautiful little sister, please....”
