Love Worth Fighting For

“You can sleep right away in your room, Kainer,” Christian says quietly to Kainer who is following behind him. Since it was almost morning, Christian then ordered Kainer to go home. Christian cancels his intention to visit Elena at the villa.

“Thank you sir.”

Christian nods slowly and hastens his pace to go to his room, because all the servants are already asleep the situation in the big house has become very quiet. Christian, who has been used to living alone since Luis’s death a few years ago, looks calm when walking in the not-so-bright light, Christian only stops when he arrives in front of his room.

Bruk...

Christian slams his body on the bed violently, his heavy eyes staring at the chandelier hanging in his room for a few minutes before finally getting up to go to the bathroom to clean himself before going to bed. Even though he was very tired, Christin still took the time to take a shower. Christian can’t sleep with his body covered in sweat after work.

After five minutes under a hot shower, Christian then wrapped his body with a bathrobe that had been provided for him. Without wearing clothes, Christian then climbs into bed and begins to close his eyes. Because he had turned off his cellphone, Christian did not know the news of the death of Jody and Camila Wilson which was given by one of his subordinates who were still in St. Mary in Echternach.

Due to having slept too much during the day, Elena still can’t sleep right now. It was almost four in the morning and Elena was still awake in her room alone. Although in her room there is a television that broadcasts various broadcasts of her favorite movies, Elena never touches the television.

.....

“What’s wrong with me, why is tonight so uncomfortable,” said Elena quietly.

It’s been almost an hour Elena continues to be restless, she feels very uncomfortable. Even though she was brought to the villa by Christian a few weeks ago, Elena had never felt this restless.

Unable to stand it anymore, Elena then left her room. Without turning on the light, Elena descended the steps and walked towards the side door that connected to the garden.

“Miss Elena!”

Elena, who was walking towards the lounge in the garden, immediately stopped her steps, she slowly turned to the guard who had just called out to her.

“What are you doing this late?” asked the second guard with his hand directly touching the gun that was on his waist.

Elena pursed her lips. “I can’t sleep after a long day of sleeping, I want to relax in the garden. The air in the room feels so stuffy,” answered Elena honestly.

“But it’s almost four in the morning, Miss.”

“I know,” Elena said quickly. “I just want to sit in the garden, you guys take it easy. I won’t be able to escape.”

“That’s not the case, Miss. You just passed out this morning, what if you fall ill again?”

“I won’t be sick again, I promise.” Elena tried to remain calm as she spoke. “I won’t be long either, I just want to get rid of this boredom.”

“But Miss...”

“It’s your mad master’s fault.” Elena cut off the words of one of the guards who was a meter in front of her. “If only he hadn’t confiscated my cell phone of course I wouldn’t be bored like this.”

The two guards who were on patrol immediately fell silent, neither of them could reply to Elena’s words. The sentence that Elena had just said made them not dare to speak, commenting on the young master’s decision to confiscate Elena’s cell phone was like looking for death and the two guards still didn’t want to die. They still want to enjoy life longer.

Elena took a deep breath. “If you’re afraid I’ll run away, you can come and sit with me in the garden. I’m very bored, I need someone to talk to.”

“Sorry Miss, we don’t dare,” the two guards answered almost simultaneously in a panic, both of them remembering the message from Christian that forbade anyone to over-communicate with Elena.

“Why? Are you guys scared of Christian?” Elena asked, confused.

The two guards immediately stepped back, trying to keep as much distance as possible from Elena who had just stepped forward.

“We have other duties, Miss. Sorry.”

“Yes Miss, we are sorry. Excuse me.”

The two guards then rushed away from in front of Elena to continue their duties, they immediately ran away from Elena who looked still confused. Elena just shook her head slowly as she watched the two guards leave, Elena carefully stepped back into the garden. Elena’s intention to sit on the chair was canceled after she noticed a wooden swing not far from the chair she had previously seen from the room.

Elena let out a sigh of relief when she managed to sit on the swing that looked clean, using one leg, Elena swung the swing slowly. Returning to enjoying the swing after a long time made Elena feel a little better. Elena’s eyes widened at the sky which still showed its beauty with dozens of stars still twinkling in the sky. Being able to see the sky so clearly like this made Elena sure that the villa where she was currently located was on a plateau. Apart from that, almost every morning Elena could hear the very clear chirping of birds, a situation that Elena rarely heard when she was at her house. Remembering again that her house had turned to ashes, it made Elena’s chest tight again, Elena couldn’t imagine how her parents felt when they saw that the house and the place where they worked were no longer left.

Elena’s tears fell again, the faces of her parents came back to Elena’s mind. The wrinkled faces of the two who had never been angry with her reappeared alternately in Elena’s head.

“I’d give my worthless life to you if you really wanted to, Christ,” Elena said hoarsely. “But I beg you please let go of my parents, let them go. Let them live in peace and serenity for the rest of their lives, sob... I’m willing to give you whatever you want, I’m willing to let you make your sex slave for life, I will do all orders that you’ve been giving me while in bed.” Elena’s lips trembled at the memory of all Christian’s craziness when she was in bed. “I promise to satisfy you as long as you let go of my mom and dad, Christ...”
