Chapter 162
162 Broken heart
Along the way, Elena did not let go of Christian’s arms, being able to be free from the mysterious kidnapper who had held her captive for the past few days made Elena so grateful. Elena did not notice the change in Christian’s attitude which was so cold, Elena also asked Christian for help to find out about the condition of her parents. Being able to meet Christian again really made Elena forget everything.
Elena just lifts her head from Christian’s shoulder when Dimitri’s car stops, too happy for Elena to notice her surroundings. Until now she looked confused when she saw the building that looked so foreign. The building that was similar to the Clarke family’s castle that she had been visiting in a smaller version was already standing firmly in front of Elena who was still in the car.
“Where are we, Christ?” asked Elena quietly.
“Let’s go downstairs,” Christian replies curtly, distracting Elena’s question by choosing to quickly open the door handle.
Elena, who did not want to be left by Christian, followed what Christian did in a hurry, was kidnapped by unknown people, making Elena still afraid to be far away from Christian at this time.
Elena’s eyes immediately narrowed when she saw the sturdy building that stood in front of her, Elena looked amazed at the splendor of the building that was quite old.
“This is one of the Clarke family villas which has become one of my favorite places to cool off,” Christian says quietly.
“Villa? Then why do we have to go to this place, Chris?” asked Elena again.
Christian, who had been trying to avoid colliding with Elena, now fixed his gaze on Elena who seemed to have so many questions.
.....
“Still have more questions? Have you forgotten your duty?”
“My duty?” asked Elena confused, her eyes widen perfectly at the question.
Christian fixes his gaze on Elena with his mouth closed, for the first few seconds Elena is still so confused about the meaning of Christian’s words that finally Elena suddenly feels her face heat up when she understands the meaning of Christian’s words.
“Understand?” Christian speaks again in a cold tone.
“Yeah, but...”
“Okay let’s go in!”
Elena nodded slowly. “I..I want to go home.”
Christian, who was ready to step back, glared at Elena. “Home? Where to go? This is your home from now on.”
“W..what?”
“Elena,” Christian growls coldly. “I’m not in the mood for a fight, so hurry up and do your thing.”
Elena shakes her head slowly, she slowly backs away trying to get away from Christian. However, the presence of several bodyguards standing behind finally made her stop walking.
Christian, who is still trying to be patient, slowly reaches his hand towards Elena. “Come on Elena!”
“Christ...”
“We’re talking inside, you have to clean your body first. I don’t like smelling another man’s scent on your body,” Christian says cruelly.
Elena’s face immediately went white. “I didn’t do anything weird in that place Christ...”
“Who said you were acting weird? I’m just saying that I don’t like smelling other men’s scent on you, weren’t your kidnappers yesterday male, right?”
“Yes,” answered Elena subconsciously, Elena really didn’t notice Christian’s oddity.
“Well hurry up, don’t test my patience for too long, Elena!” Christian again shakes his hand asking Elena to come closer to him.
Elena who had no other choice slowly walked over to Christian who was already looking so impatient. As soon as Elena is closer to him, Christian immediately grabs Elena’s upper arm and pulls her forcibly into the villa which is a silent witness to one of Jack’s atrocities against Anne when he was losing his memory. Christian decides to take Elena to that place because he wants to make the place Elena’s temporary residence.
Elena’s eyes continued down the hallway she was currently walking, suddenly Elena didn’t feel very comfortable at this time. Elena’s intelligent brain started working, she began to relate all the oddities that bothered her starting from Christian’s sudden appearance until they finally arrived at the Clarke family’s villa which seemed so closed. While still outside, Elena saw that the villa she was in now had high walls that made it so closed.
Elena’s steps stop when Christian takes her to a room on the second floor, Elena looks around at the whole room that looks so neat, clean and smells good. It was clear that the place was so awake.
“This is your room from now on,” Christian says quietly, removing his hand from Elena’s arm.
“My room?”
“All your needs have been prepared, so now you better clean your whole body. I can’t stand the smell of the rotten smell that you carry,” Christian said again asking Elena to take a shower.
“But Christ...”
“Don’t argue and do what I say, in twenty minutes I want you to be ready and don’t disappoint me.” Christian cut Elena’s words loudly, after saying that Christian then rushed off leaving Elena alone in her new room.
Elena, who still looks so confused by all of Christian’s words, finally chooses to obey Christian’s orders by walking into the room, her steps stopped when she saw the dressing table which was already filled with skincare with the same brand as the one she had used so far. Elena also saw that the walk-in closet in the room was already filled with clothes that had been arranged so neatly.
“Who prepared all this?” Elena muttered quietly. “Did they prepare this on Christian’s orders? But why did Christian do this? Did he mean to invite me to stay in this place?” Elena stops her words when she remembers Christian’s words saying that the room she is currently in is her new room.
“What exactly is Christian planning?” Elena squeezed her fingers tightly as she suddenly felt uneasy.
Remembering Christian’s previous message, Elena continued her steps towards the bathroom which was near the walk-in closet whose door was half open. Elena was again rendered speechless when she saw the situation in the bathroom, everything from the soap to the shampoo she had been using had been neatly arranged in the bathroom. Elena was completely rendered speechless.
With slightly shaking hands, Elena took off her clothes one by one and put them in the laundry bag in the bathroom and started walking towards the shower. Even though there is a bathtub ready to make it so comfortable when taking a shower, Elena chooses to use a shower. As Christian said earlier, Elena wanted to remove all traces that were left on her body.
Elena doesn’t want to disappoint Christian, Christian is a person who was born with a golden spoon so his sense of smell must be much sharper than anyone. Because of that he could definitely smell a bad smell from the shabby place she’d been held captive for the past three days, so he asked Elena to take a shower.
Elena’s eyes began to close as the warm water pouring from the shower began to wet her head, for the first few minutes Elena did nothing. She let the water soak all over her body, Elena wanted to make her body as clean as Christian wanted.
After bringing Elena from where he was held captive, Christian’s mood did not improve. The extra info that Ronin had given him this morning had really made his day, his mind in complete disarray. The thing he feared the most happened. The new photo that Ronin found this morning has already shattered Christian’s hopes, the masked girl whose identity has been confirmed as Elena. The latest photo found by Ronin shows that there is an almost perfect resemblance to Elena, in the latest photo it is clear that the masked girl is tidying the mask on her face which makes her face hidden so tightly visible.
“You really disappointed me Elena, you’ve been so cruel to play with my feelings,” Christian says hoarsely with his hands clenched tightly. “You must get revenge after making my sister suffer for so many years, you must feel the same suffering as my precious sister, Elena. I hate you Elena...I hate you.”
