Love Worth Fighting For

163 Disappointed

6 hours before Elena’s pick up.

Christian, who deliberately did not make any movement after ordering Logan and his men to secure Elena, chose to remain silent and continue to watch the movements of the father and his men, fortunately at that time he moved quickly because if it was not possible by now Elena would have been caught by his father.

While enjoying his bitter coffee in the living room alone, Christian was suddenly startled by the sound of his father’s screams calling his name loudly repeatedly, Christian slowly put the coffee cup in his hand on the table.

“Christ...”

“I’m in the living room, Dad,” Christian answered quietly, Kainer who had been silent beside Christian immediately straightened up when he heard the sound of Jack’s footsteps getting closer.

Christian purses his lips, trying to be calm. “What’s the matter, Dad?”

“Answer Daddy, where did you hide that bitch?!” asked Jack in his hoarse baritone voice, it was very clear that at this moment Jack was trying very hard to speak in a less loud voice to Christian.

“Bitch?”

“Elena Wilson, where did you hide her?” Jack repeated his question more clearly. “Daddy knows that you’ve hidden the whore.”

.....

“Hidding Elena? What’s the advantage of hiding her? Hasn’t Daddy seen me doing nothing for the past few days, huh? So how can Daddy accuse me of hiding that woman?”

Jack’s teeth chattered together. “Daddy knows you very well, Christ. Even though you haven’t done anything but you have tons of subordinates who will work quickly as soon as you give them an order, so don’t fool Daddy. Daddy’s not a kid you can fool.”

“If Daddy doesn’t believe me, please ask Kainer, ask him if I gave orders to arrest and hide Elena or not. Even though Kainer is my subordinate, he will tell the truth if Daddy asks.” Christian sarcasm sarcastically at his father and Kainer directly, Christian still hasn’t forgiven Kainer who he thinks has betrayed him for coming to Luxembourg together with Jack three days ago.

Jack immediately turned his gaze to Kainer who looked so tense. “You’re asking Daddy to ask this robot that only obeys you? Only a madman would do that.”

Christian smiled slightly at the name his father gave to Kainer, his father would indeed call Kainer a robot when he was so angry. Christian also feels a little relieved that his father hates Kainer, because it is one of the proofs that Kainer didn’t betray him.

“I’ve answered Daddy’s questions before, that’s why I asked Daddy to confirm everything I said earlier to Kainer if Daddy didn’t believe me. So where did I go wrong?”

Jack’s jaw tightens, Christian is really good with words. His son looked so much like him, now Jack felt like he was arguing with himself in a younger version.

“Daddy couldn’t find the woman’s whereabouts, even her parents didn’t provide any useful information for Daddy. They both firmly said that they didn’t know about his daughter’s whereabouts at this time,” said Jack coldly in a rising voice. “Daddy has also mobilized all of Daddy’s best people to look for him, but to no avail and the only possibility right now is you. You are the only person who can do all this.”

Christian who was previously sitting on the sofa slowly straightened his body, his eyes still focused on his father who was standing two meters away from him. “I’m not going to make any moves until I’m sure that the girl called Suri is Elena, that’s why I haven’t done anything yet. Daddy can check my cellphone if you don’t believe me, Daddy can see all my activities from that cellphone.” Christian throws his phone on the table roughly.

“You’ll be sorry Christ, that girl is really sneaky,” said Jack again. “She has already inflicted such a huge wound on your sister, she is also the one who caused our relationship to be like this. Open your eyes wide, Christ. That girl doesn’t deserve you, she is a mad witch with no heart.”

“To cause our relationship to be like this?” Christian repeats a few words that came out of his father’s lips in confusion, he doesn’t understand what his father meant.

Jack stuffed his hands into his pants pockets. “Yes, she is the cause of our relationship breaking down. If only Suri hadn’t disappeared three years ago, now our relationship would be fine.”

Christian suddenly gasped, what his father said was true. If only three years ago Suri had not disappeared, this kind of thing would not have been possible. Suri also will not experience such a huge and prolonged trauma as it is today. Christian was completely at a loss for words when he was presented with one of the most striking facts by his father.

“Why are you silent? Daddy’s right, isn’t he?”

Christian clenched one hand. “Daddy can’t just blame Elena for the strain on our relationship, when it’s clear that the main source of our fight is the adopted son who...”

“Christian Cyrillo Clarke!!!” snapped Jack loudly. “Watch your words, Asher is not an adopted child. He is your brother, your little brother.”

Prok...Prok...prok...

Christian immediately clapped his hands.

“That’s great, Daddy really protects him well. I really really salute Daddy,” Christian said sarcastically without stopping clapping. “It’s no wonder, after all, he deserves more to be Daddy’s son. To be a Clarke who...”

“Asher has been a Clarke since we brought him back to Geneva decades ago.” Jack interrupts Christian’s words quickly. “He’s part of our family, part of the Clarke family who...”

Brak...

Emotionally Christian hits the table in front of him hard.

“There’s no Asher in the Clarke family tree,” Christian screams loudly. “If Daddy really wants to add him to Daddy’s family tree then go for it, but don’t use the name Clarke for him because I won’t. Just give him Muller as his new last name.”

Jack, who couldn’t contain his emotions, then threw a punch at Christian’s stomach with a sudden force.
