Love Worth Fighting For

130 a Blessing

Arrez lowered his head deeply with the phone still to his ear, it had been almost thirty minutes Suri ignored him.

“Are you ok?”

“Suri ignores me, she’s still so scared of me. What should I do, Aldrich?”

Aldrich, who was standing leaning in front of Areez’s bedroom door, let out a long breath. “Keep fighting or quit and give it up for someone else.”

Areez immediately raised his face, staring blankly at Aldrich. “What are you saying?!”

“No, don’t be mad at me. There’s something I want to show you right now and it’s related to the Clarke family, especially Christian, Asher and Suri,” said Aldrich seriously.

“What do you mean?”

Aldrich took a deep breath, he knew it would be difficult to talk to Areez without telling him directly. With silent steps Aldrich approached Areez and sat in front of him, for a while Aldrich looked busy with his laptop before finally showing Areez his findings.

“You’ll see for yourself,” Aldrich said quietly, as he handed his laptop to Areez who had also just woken up after sunset.

.....

Areez, who was already curious, grabbed his best friend’s laptop and was immediately shocked when he saw what was displayed.

“What is this?” Areez’s voice trembled with anger when he saw the edited photos of Suri and Asher who were doing something obscene.

“That’s okay, Areez. Let’s see it all,” Aldrich said quietly.

Areez who was already focused on the laptop screen did not give any response, his attention was really focused on the dozens of dark articles that filled the gallery of a site containing all the scandals of the Clarke family whose existence could not be accounted for.

“Where did you find this, Aldrich?” angrily

“I accidentally stumbled upon this site while looking for information about Asher, seeing how horrific the contents of this article seem like the Clarke family doesn’t know there is such a site,” Aldrich replied quietly. “Because if they knew they would have found out the mastermind behind all this.”

Areez’s jaw tightened, seeing Suri being abused made him barely breathe.

“Don’t tell Jackson Clarke first about this problem, I will find out who deserves to be held accountable for this incident. Anyone who dares to harass Suri will become my enemy,” Areez said again, clenching his fists tightly.

“Are you sure?”

“Yeah, at least with this I can atone for my guilt towards Suri,” Areez replied back with a slightly trembling voice.

Aldrich took a deep breath, he could already guess that Areez would definitely do that. “Ok, I will support you.”

“Ask Felix to come to Geneva, change all our plans.”

“What do you mean by changing plans?”

Areez closed the laptop in front of him slowly. “I want to build our company in Geneva.”

“Are you serious?” asked Aldrich in surprise.

“Yes, getting closer to Suri and her family will make it easier for me to move. My goal now is not only to get forgiveness from Suri and her family but also to find out who the person who tried to bring them down,” answered Areez confidently.

“Well if that’s what you want, I’ll cancel our plans to find an office in Germany.”

“Thank you, Aldrich.”

Aldrich pursed his lips. “It’s ok, you don’t have to thank me.”

Areez massaged his forehead which suddenly hurt, even though he knew that all the photos he had just seen were fake but Areez was still carried away by emotions. Suri, who he guarded so carefully like a precious treasure, now has his pride trampled on by an unknown person and Areez vows to find out who the person who has tried to destroy his Suri is.

***

Anne smiled a little when she saw her two children eating silently, both Suri and Christian looked very unappetizing, even though the food served today was so appetizing.

“Why hasn’t Daddy seen your lover, Christ?” asked Jack suddenly and the question Jack asked suddenly made the atmosphere even more tense.

Christian, who was trying to stop himself from thinking about Elena, looked directly at his father with a cold gaze. “Elena will be spending the night at the hotel.”

“Hotel? Why should you stay at the hotel?”

Christian smiles sarcastically. “Of course because she’s uncomfortable, Elena is a very sensitive girl. That’s why she prefers to spend the night at the hotel after feeling her presence is not considered.”

“Christ...”

“Isn’t that right, Mom?” Christian quips sarcastically at Jack.

“Mommy has already spoken to your girlfriend, Christ. How can you call her being disrespectful, huh?!” Suri, who had been unfocused since thinking about Areez who suddenly contacted her, immediately responded to her brother’s words. “If you don’t believe it, you can ask her. But wait, could your lover have said anything bad about Mommy, huh?”

Christian clenched his jaw at Suri’s words, if it wasn’t Suri who spoke like that at this time, Christian would have exploded. No one could insult his Elena who was so pure, but it was his beloved little sister who had just spoken. Christian really is in for a tough choice.

“Suri.” Anne warns Suri not to talk, Anne knows Christian is still very sensitive.

“But Mom...”

Suri’s words were stopped by Anne who immediately shook her head, signaling Suri not to speak anymore. And Suri, who was more mature at this time, chose to obey her mother’s orders, even though she was still so annoyed.

“Forgive Daddy, Christ,” said Jack suddenly.

Everyone at the dining table including Christian immediately turned to Jack in surprise.

“I’m sorry, because Daddy has made your lover feel uncomfortable because of Daddy’s words that night. If you really feel that you are compatible with her, you can take this relationship to a more serious level. Daddy is ready to help you do anything,” added Jack again.

Christian raises an eyebrow, even though his father has just said the happy news, Christian still doesn’t look happy. His trust in his father has not returned at this time.

“Mommy and Daddy have given you their blessing, Christ. So if you want to marry Elena, we are here to help you prepare everything.” Anne replied to Jack’s words with a smile.

“You guys give me your blessing to marry Elena?” Christian repeats his mother’s words with a frown. “Why? What made you guys suddenly give my blessing to me and Elena?”

“Daddy admits what Daddy did that night was wrong, Daddy shouldn’t have spoken like that. That’s why Daddy apologizes to you and regarding the blessing we gave us, we have seriously considered everything. This year you will turn twenty-eight years old, which is enough for a household, therefore Mommy and Daddy agreed to give you their blessing. Whoever Elena is, where she comes from or what her family is like, doesn’t matter anymore, Daddy. As long as you love her, Daddy will give you his blessing,” replied Jack. At length, his eyes seem so focused on Christian as he speaks.

Christian’s chest suddenly felt warm, even though his relationship with his father had not fully improved, but when he heard his father’s words that had given him his blessing to marry Elena, Christian felt that the burden that had been on his shoulders had been lifted slightly.

“What your father said is true, dear. Whoever Elena is, wherever she comes from, we both don’t care. So you don’t have to ask Elena to sleep in a hotel anymore, the door of this house is wide open for her and Mommy will be very happy if Mommy’s future daughter-in-law wants to stay in this house. with us.” Anne, who did not want to lose, also spoke.

“Thank you,” Christian says, shaking slightly. “After I returned to Luxembourg, indeed I was planning to have an engagement ceremony with Elena, I wanted to make Elena’s status clear to everyone before I married her...”

“Really? So you’re going to make an engagement with Elena? Can Mommy help? Have you chosen a ring for her? Ah no, have you thought about what the concept of the party will be like?” With so much enthusiasm, Anne bombards Christian with several questions at once. “Mommy would really be so happy if you let Mommy be on your show with Elena, Christ.”
