Love Worth Fighting For

“What else do you want?” asked Charlotte curtly at the man whose seed she was carrying.

Johan smiled. “Is this how you welcome me again Cherry?”

“The two of us are not bound by any agreement at this time and I also no longer need your help so you don’t need to come back in my life forever.” Charlotte spoke filled with disgust.

“Are you kidding me?”

“I’m not, I’m not joking at all and I’m not trying to be funny. I really don’t want to see you anymore, so don’t ever appear in front of me again,” Charlotte said again. “Didn’t you already get what you wanted from me?”

Johan narrowed his eyes. “I haven’t gotten everything I want, so…”

“You really are a greedy human Johan, you are the definition of a human who is not good at being grateful.”

“Don’t talk as if you are the most holy Charlotte, we both know how dirty we are with each other,” Johan said coldly.

.....

Charlotte folded her arms across her chest, challenging Johan. “Oh yeah? How dirty am I? I am the only daughter of Chester Lloyd, the former UN Secretary General who currently leads the largest charity organization in Switzerland. I come from a respected family that is respected by many people, both domestically and abroad which is very very different from you Jonathan Muller.”

Johan’s face turned white as paper, so far no one knows his real name. He never even once told Charlotte who he was, that’s why he was so shocked at this time.

“You…”

“Why? Surprised I found out who you really are?” said Charlotte sarcastically. “I’m not as stupid as you think Johan, from the beginning you asked me to work together. I already knew who you really are and all your ambitions and your paralyzed father.”

“Charlotte!!” Johan shouted loudly, his index finger pointed at Charlotte. “Don’t try to offend my father, this is our problem. So don’t even offend my father who is sick.”

Instead of being afraid of Johan who was threatening her Charlotte just laughed out loud, the anger shown by Johan made her happy. It felt like all his patience waiting for this day had paid off, Johan really didn’t disappoint him.

Charlotte wiped away the tears that had come out from laughing too much with her slender index finger. “Not only your father, Johan, I also know the plan you are currently carrying out by using Asher as a sacrifice.”

“Exactly what do you want?” asked Johan seriously, Johan could finally read what was on Charlotte’s mind at the moment.

Charlotte landed her buttocks on the couch gracefully. “Get out of my life and don’t bother me.”

“Only that?”

“That’s all,” Charlotte answered firmly.

“No way, I know you very well Chery.”

Charlotte thinned her lips as her finger touched her still flat stomach without realizing it, at this time her womb was starting to enter the age of three weeks, two weeks earlier than Christian’s presence in Geneva.

“I will close my eyes and mouth for everything you are doing at Muller Finance International, I will also pretend not to know that you are the biological child of Edmund Muller, cousin of Jackson Clarke who is known to have died in a car accident fifteen years ago. then as long as you don’t admit the relationship that never happened between us,” Charlotte said calmly. “As long as you keep your mouth shut about our relationship then your secret will be stored tightly in my head, I will not reveal all your crimes for the last six years to the police and the Clarke family so that way you and your paralyzed father will continue to be able to enjoy all the money you have stole it from Muller Finance International.”

Johan clenched his fists, suppressing emotion. Johan had absolutely no idea that Charlotte knew all of his and his father’s secrets. Johan was really sorry because he thought Charlotte was a stupid girl, because it turned out that he was the one who had been skinned all this time by Charlotte who was moving in silence.

“How, do you agree to do this interesting cooperation Johan?”

Johan gulped. “Apart from my identity and secret which will be kept, what else would I gain from keeping our relationship in the past a secret.”

“You will be freed from your responsibilities as a father,” Charlotte answered quickly, as quickly as she threw a white envelope in front of Johan. “If you are still confused by what I said then you can see for yourself through the paper.”

Johan glanced at the envelope that Charlotte had just thrown.

“Take it and read it, then all your curiosity will be answered,” said Charlotte again.

Having no other choice, Johan finally did what Charlotte ordered. Slowly he grabbed the white envelope and took out its contents slowly. Johan’s world almost collapses when he reads the report listed on a piece of paper issued by a laboratory at a mother and child hospital.

“I aborted your baby two weeks ago, I didn’t want to lie to Christian with a child from your seed. So I decided to abort it,” said Charlotte.

“CHARLOTTE LLOYD.” Johan shouted loudly. “How dare you kill my son, how dare you take away the innocent life I gave you.”

Charlotte pursed her lips. “He’s still lifeless, only a few days old. Even when the doctors removed him from my stomach he was still a blood clot no bigger than my thumb.” Charlotte raised her thumb in the air, showing it to Johan.

Johan, who did not accept that his child was cruelly killed by Charlotte, immediately pushed forward towards Charlotte and choked her neck tightly. Charlotte, who did not expect to get such an attack, could only open her eyes wide when Johan’s fingers were firmly entrenched in her neck. .

Hot and stuffy, Charlotte was really very uncomfortable with what Johan was doing at the moment. Her lungs hurt so badly when she didn’t get oxygen.

“Damn slut,” Johan whispered right in Charlotte’s left ear. “How dare you insult and kill my son cruelly like that, who do you think you are to do that to me? Who do you think you are to do as you please like this huh?!”

Charlotte, who was already having a hard time breathing, patted Johan’s hand, used her last bit of energy to get away from Johan. But because she was outsized, all her efforts were in vain. Johan didn’t move at all, he even added pressure to his legs which were now pressing on Charlotte’s stomach which still contained a weak fetus that couldn’t possibly get that kind of pressure. Charlotte’s tears dripped slowly when she felt a sudden pain in her lower abdomen due to what Johan had done to her.

“No, I can’t lose this baby. No…”
