Love Worth Fighting For

127 Areez’s fault

It turns out that what Aldrich said about coming to the Clarke family’s house was true, because after returning from the house of the most famous ruler in Geneva, Areez became constantly grumpy and unclear. Almost everything he does is messy and nothing is right. In the end, it was Aldrich who had to clean up the mess Areez had made.

“Actually what’s the matter with you, Areez? Why have you been getting angry like this all along?” Aldrich, who was impatient with letters, finally spoke curtly.

Areez, who was sitting on the sofa with a bottle of mineral water he took from the refrigerator, did not respond to Aldrich’s words, instead he squeezed the bottle of mineral water to make an uncomfortable sound. Afraid Areez will make a bigger mess with the bottled mineral water, Aldrich then rushed to grab the bottle of mineral water violently from Areez’s hands.

“Suri, I saw her hugging that person..”

Aldrich’s steps immediately stopped. “Hugging who?”

“The boy who dined with us, the black-eyed boy,” Areez answered hoarsely, trying to remember Asher’s face.

“Isn’t he a member of the Clarke family too, is he?”

Areez’s jaws tightened, his gaze immediately fell on Aldrich with a thick aura of hostility. “Jackson Clarke only has two children, Christian and Suri.”

Aldrich immediately raised his hands in the air. “Sorry..sorry, I forgot.”

.....

“Find out about that young man named Asher, his origins and why he’s so close to the Clarke family. I want you to get all the information about him today, before lunch,”

“Areez!”

“And I don’t want to hear no.” Areez resumed his speech. “Good job and wake me up once you’ve got all the information.”

After saying that Areez immediately left from in front of Aldrich, towards his room which had not been touched since last night. After returning from the Clarke family home, Areez takes Aldrich to one of the best bars in Geneva to calm down after seeing Suri hugging another man. Even though neither of them were drunk, they both went home just as the sun was about to rise.

And now Aldrich has to postpone his sleep because he has an assignment from Areez, because he doesn’t want to make Areez angry, Aldrich decides to postpone his sleep and starts searching for information about Asher. The figure of the young man who was hugged by Suri last night. With his abilities, it didn’t take long for Aldrich to find answers to all of Areez’s curiosity.

“A adopted son, apparently,” Aldrich muttered under his breath, commenting on one of the articles discussing the Clarke family. “No wonder he is so close to Suri and her parents.”

When he was about to close his laptop, suddenly Aldrich found an article that was far more interesting than Asher’s origins. Aldrich’s drowsiness immediately disappeared when he read a dark article that discussed some of the ugliness of the Clarke family member that he accidentally discovered, the dark secret of the Clarke family that was stored for years on the internet in a site that was only visited by hundreds of people in three years.

Aldrich raised an eyebrow when he realized the number of visitors on the site. “This site isn’t a provocative site, but why isn’t anyone visiting it? It’s actually not that hard to find. Hmm... looks like the owner of this site is the haters of the Clarke family.”

Like finding a new toy, Aldrich then continued his activities even though he had not slept at all since last night. Since moving to Germany, Aldrich’s sleep pattern has been really messed up and the situation is made worse by Areez’s madness who always gives him orders that he doesn’t want to refute. Because he already knew who Areez was, Aldrich chose to remain silent and did the task his best friend had given him.

Just like Aldrich, currently Areez is not sleeping even though he is already lying on a soft hotel bed. The image of how Suri hugged and comforted Asher kept replaying in Areez’s head.

“Three years, three years I waited for you to open your heart to me with so much patience, Suri,” Areez said hoarsely. “But why do you hug another man so easily? A man who doesn’t have as much love as I love you, Suri.”

Clarke Mansion, Geneva. 1.30 PM

Due to being too busy at work, Kainer skipped lunch. He only realized that his stomach had not been filled when suddenly his stomach hurt. Even though Kainer has been given permission to do anything in the Clarke family home, he still maintains etiquette. He didn’t want to eat at the dining table that the rest of the Clarke family used to eat in the absence of Christian, which was why now Kainer was enjoying his late lunch at the dining table where the maids and drivers and other bodyguards eat near the dirty kitchen.

Suri, who was looking for a juicer in the kitchen, immediately stopped her activities when she saw Kainer eating, her smile broadened when she realized that her brother’s assistant was at home. With cheerful steps, Suri then approached Kainer and immediately sat on the empty chair in front of Kainer. Kainer who didn’t expect to see Suri suddenly sitting in front of him almost choked, luckily he had prepared drinking water beforehand so that Kainer quickly managed to regain control even though his face looked so red at this time, after holding back a cough.

“Kainer, I’m sorry,” said Suri regretfully. “I didn’t mean to choke you.”

Kainer shook his head. “No Miss, you don’t need to apologize. It’s not your fault.”

“But you’re all right, aren’t you?”

“I’m fine, Miss,” Kainer answered quickly, after three years Suri’s attitude had changed a lot. Suri is much more mature now.

Suri thinned her lips. “Thank goodness, next time you see me coming you don’t need to panic, Kainer. I’m not a ghost you should avoid or be afraid of, am I?”

“Sorry Miss.”

“It’s ok, oh yeah, is my brother home yet?” asked Suri slowly.

Kainer shook his head slowly. “Not yet, Young master and Elena haven’t returned.”

“Elena... oh the secretary who is currently my brother’s lover, huh?”

“That’s right, Miss. Looks like the young master is taking Elena to visit some interesting places in Geneva.”

Suri immediately raised her eyebrows. “Visit some interesting places in Geneva, you know how?”

“From the young master directly, Miss. Last night when Master and Elena were leaving I had the chance to meet them in the front yard and the young master said he wanted to take Elena to visit some of the tourist attractions in Geneva,” Kainer answered honestly. “Elena has never visited Geneva before, Miss.”

“Never been to Geneva? Are you sure? Didn’t she come on my birthday too?”

“I mean she’s never visited Geneva for any personal purposes other than work, Miss. Elena doesn’t come from a wealthy family, so she can’t travel abroad as easily as you, Miss.”

“You seem to have a pretty good relationship with that girl, huh? To the point that you know that she’s never been abroad,” Suri sarcastically said.

Kainer gulped, noticing the change in Suri’s colder tone. “Sorry Miss.”

Suri was annoyed. “Does my brother have another cell phone number? Since last night I haven’t been able to reach him.”

“No Miss, young master only has one cell phone number,” said Kainer lying, he didn’t dare to give Christian’s second cell number to Suri without Christian’s permission. Even if Jack or Anne would ask, Kainer would still not give Christian’s second cell phone number. For Kainer, what he must and must obey is Christian, that’s why at this time Kainer lied to Suri.

Suri snorted in annoyance. “It’s so annoying, he came home but it was someone else who he took for a walk, not me.”

“Would you like me to call, Elena, Miss?”

“No need, I don’t want to make the secretary big head. Later when my brother calls you, just tell him that I’m angry with him,” said Suri quickly, as fast as her movement which immediately left Kainer alone.

Seeing Suri sulking, Kainer could only stay silent and didn’t dare to do anything, Suri was everything to Jack and Anne. Whatever Suri said was a mandatory order that had to be carried out, that’s why Kainer didn’t dare to oppose it. Even though the food wasn’t finished yet, Kainer’s hunger was gone. Talking to Suri instantly filled him up.

Poor Kainer.

After tidying the dining table as before, Kainer then immediately took out his cell phone. There hasn’t been a single message from Christian or Elena and Kainer himself doesn’t dare disturb them both. As a grown man Kainer knew his limits not to intrude on his master’s time.

Kainer’s steps finally came to a halt in the back garden, after feeling comfortable he then resumed his work. Ensure that no problems occur in the office as long as Christian does not come to the office.

From inside her room, Suri stomped one foot on the floor when she saw Kainer busy with his laptop in the garden. “You selfish, annoying bastard!”

“Who’s selfish, honey?” Anne, who had just finished an online meeting with some of her friends who are both active in the social world, appeared in front of the door of Suri’s room, which was wide open.

Hearing her mother’s voice suddenly made Suri turn around.

Anne laughed a little when she saw Suri’s sullen face which was not friendly at all, with elegant steps Anne approached Suri who was still standing by the window, looking at Kainer who was busy working.

“Who else has pissed you off like this, honey?” asked Anne softly as soon as she reached Suri’s side.

“Who else, only he can irritate me like this,” replied Suri curtly.

Anne who understood who Suri was referring to laughed amusedly, Anne still didn’t realize that Suri was still staring at Kainer. “Why again with your brother, what else has he done to upset you, hm?”

“Christian left since yesterday and hasn’t been home until today, Mom. He was having fun with that Elena without me,” said Suri jealously, never being seconded by Christian making Suri feel so annoyed when she found out Christian was taking Elena around the city of Geneva .

“Honey...”

“I’m Christian’s little sister, Christian should be more concerned with me than Elena. After all, Elena isn’t necessarily his wife, is it?”

Anne pursed her lips, she knew that her youngest daughter was jealous of her brother’s lover who was not much different from her age. “One day you too will be in the same position as Christian, connecting with the people you love and traveling around interesting places like Chistian is doing now.”

“I don’t want to get married yet, I’m still a kid! I don’t want to leave Mommy and Daddy,” Suri screamed hysterically.

Anne immediately took Suri into her arms. “Everyone will definitely have their own life without exception, dear. Just like what Christian is living right now, after all, your brother also deserves to get married. Mommy is actually happy if your brother gets married, because getting married means your brother will not live alone again in Luxembourg. There is someone who will accompany and color his days, Mommy’s guilt for your brother will be a little less.”

Suri locks her lips, even though what her mother said is true, but Suri is still not willing to marry Christian. It seemed she was still not satisfied spending a lot of time with her brother. Even though all this time she had always teased Christian by asking him to get married soon, but after parting with the rest of her family Suri suddenly wasn’t willing to give up her brother for another woman.

“This is all the evil monster’s fault,” said Suri in her heart. “If he hadn’t kept me captive for three years, there might have been a lot of interesting places and things that I’ve been through with my brother... Damn Areez Floyen, why don’t you just drown with the plankton in the ocean. Why do you have to appear again in front of me like this. I hate you, Areez I hate you...”
