Love Worth Fighting For

Christian’s face immediately changed. “What do you mean?”

“What I mean is, is Miss Suri sure that she saw the mole under the woman’s eye in the mask? While Miss Suri can’t remember the faces of the other two perpetrators, shouldn’t the faces of the other two perpetrators actually be easier to remember, right? What’s more, they don’t use masks,” Ronin said quietly, letting out a few things that had been bothering him for the past week.

Christian is silent, his brain digesting the sentence Ronin just said.

“Miss Suri is too shocked by what happened, Ronin.” Nicholas suddenly joined in, without anyone knowing it seemed that Nicholas had been standing in front of Christian’s open study door for almost thirty minutes. “According to the psychiatrist, Miss Suri was so afraid of the other two perpetrators who had bad intentions towards her. Because of that Miss Suri forgot their faces and only remembered a few small things, like that mole she said, for example.”

Ronin nodded slowly. “Too scared, huh?’

“Yeah, that’s what the psychiatrist said. That’s why they can’t ask Miss Suri in more detail about the incident,” Nicholas replied again. “So if Miss Suri can only provide a little information, please understand, because believe me, it’s not easy to rise up against fear after experiencing such a terrible event. Kidnapped and held captive for three years won’t make that person the same.”

Nicholas’ words made Christian’s chest tighten even more, imagining the worst possibilities that Suri had gone through in these three years out there really made him feel guilty again and his desire to find out one of the perpetrators that Suri still remembers is getting bigger.

Not wanting to disturb further, Nicholas finally leaves Christian’s study. Even though he already knows that Christian and his men are doing the same thing, as Erick and his men are doing. But Nicholas chose to remain silent and didn’t tell anyone including Jack. Very familiar with Luis’ upbringing made Nicholas not dare to divulge Christian’s secrets, he didn’t have that much courage to face Christian’s anger. For Nicholas as long as Christian did the right thing then he would keep it alone and will not for him with other people.

“Ok, looks like I’ll have to use the only means left at this point,” Ronin muttered under her breath.

“What way?” asked Kainer, who had just closed the door to Christian’s study.

Ronin turned his gaze to Kainer seriously. “I’m going to sabotage the space satellite to get a photo of this woman,” answered Ronin flatly, without guilt.

“What? That’s too dangerous, Ronin,” Kainer shrieked spontaneously.

“I know, that’s why I never wanted to do this. But because now there is no other way, the only way is to do that,” said Ronin again.

“How long will it take?”

“Eh?”

Kainer and Ronin immediately turned to Christian who had just spoken.

“How long will it take to get the results the way you want to do it, Ronin?” Christian asks quietly, clarifying his question.

Ronin pursed her lips. “Three to five days, sir.”

“Too long.”

“Three days at most,” said Ronin again.

Christian fixes his gaze on Ronin. “Ok, I’ll give you three days to get a clearer picture of this woman’s face, Ronin.”

Ronin, who understands that Christian is being very serious then nods slowly. “Yes sir.”

Instead of responding back to Ronin, Christian orders Kainer to prepare his flight back to Luxembourg. For one week working non-stop makes Christian very tired at this time and only Elena is able to break all that tiredness, even though Christian has got Suri’s kidnapper’s instructions on Elena but Christian chooses not to act at this time. As long as Christian hasn’t seen the photo of the masked woman it’s clearer he won’t judge Elena, his love for Elena still blinds Christian’s sanity.

Kainer, who was quick to respond, immediately contacted the Clarke family’s private pilot to prepare immediately, after getting clarity on the flight time, Kainer then conveyed the information he had just obtained with great care. Kainer doesn’t want to make Christian’s mood worse if he acts recklessly.

“Thirty minutes from now our plane is ready, young master.”

“Not us, only me going back to Luxembourg. You stay here, accompany Ronin.” Christian immediately replied to Kainer’s words with a straight face.

Kainer, who was preparing to approach Christian immediately froze. “Ok young master. I will accompany Ronin here.”

Christian who was so tired then walked towards the door and just left without saying a word to his two best men, not just physically tired. Right now Christian is also very tired mentally. The beautiful plans he had made after marrying Elena fell apart after Suri said that Elena was the girl she saw at the hotel three years ago. Although the certainty is not clear, but Christian is very disturbed by the news.

“Please don’t disappoint me, Elena.” Christian speaks to himself as he gets in the car that will take him to the airport. “Please don’t disappoint me, I believe you are a good girl.”

Luxembourg.

Elena woke up from her sleep when it was two o’clock at night, she woke up because her throat was dry. After finishing drinking, Elena realized that she hadn’t showered since coming home from work a few hours ago. With eyes still a little sleepy, Elena walked towards the bathroom to clean herself up. Even though it was so late, Elena still decided to take a shower. Better late than never, right?

“Oh that’s fresh,” Elena said cheerfully with a half shriek, feeling so much better after her shower. “You slacker, maybe after eating apples you go to sleep.” Elena cursed her carelessness while walking out of the bathroom.

Not wanting to get sick, Elena immediately put on clothes to go back to sleep. Working non-stop for one week with dozens of documents that must be completed as soon as possible made Elena so exhausted. However, Elena’s intention to sleep had to be delayed when she suddenly heard a knock on the door. Because the door to Elena’s room was open, she could clearly hear the knocking sound that now sounded so clear.

“Thirty-thirty in the morning,” Elena muttered under her breath. “Who visited last night?” Elena spontaneously clutched her rumbling chest. Her fear of ghosts suddenly came back, even though she was currently in her own house.

When Elena wanted to ignore it and pretended not to hear a knock on the door, suddenly Elena heard a familiar voice, a voice she had missed so much for the past week. Without thinking twice, Elena immediately descended to the first floor. As if forgetting to be afraid of ghosts, Elena walked towards the locked door without turning on the light.

“Christ...”
