Love Worth Fighting For

251 Attack

Because Christian decided not to eat, as a result, after the main meal was finished, Suri rushed to find Christian. Suri, who knew that Christian’s condition was not fine, followed her brother who was sitting alone on the rooftop of the restaurant.

“It’s finished?” Christian who saw Suri’s arrival immediately asked an unexpected question.

Suri was annoyed. “Why don’t you come to eat? You’re really sick, aren’t you?”

“I’m fine, Suri.”

“No, you’re not doing well. I know that,” replied Suri loudly.

Christian smiled a little, he slowly got up from the sofa where he had been sitting for almost thirty minutes and walked towards Suri who was wearing her hands on her hips. “I’m just putting my mind at ease here, honey.”

“Christ...”

Christian raises his hand and touches Suri’s face gently. “I’m fine, I’m fine.”

Suri, who had been trying to hold back her tears as hard as she could, then dropped herself onto her brother’s chest. “You’re not alone, Christ. You’re not alone through this, you still have us. You still have me to help you.”

.....

Christian smiles, he affectionately touches Suri’s head. “Thank you, Suri. Thank you very much.”

Suri slowly released her arms from Christian’s body, she could no longer see Christian like this. Suri intends to admit all her mistakes to her brother right now, but just as Suri is about to open her lips to start confessing, suddenly Christian’s cell phone rings. Christian, who was as surprised as Suri, took out his cell phone from his pocket and received an incoming call from Kainer, who was still in Luxembourg with Erick, replacing him with the care of Clarke Enterprise.

Christian’s face immediately turned serious when he heard the report that Kainer gave, Suri, who didn’t hear what Kainer said to Christian, was immediately worried. Suri silently asked Christian who was still listening to Kainer’s report. Just like Suri did, Christian answered his sister’s question by only moving his lips. It was clear that at this time Christian wanted to seriously listen to Kainer’s words, Suri who understood then nodded slowly. She decided to wait patiently for her brother and Kainer’s conversation.

“Ok, I’ll be right back in the office. Keep in touch with Nicholas who is at the office, I’ll tell Daddy,” Christian says quietly.

“Yes sir, Erick and I are trying hard to track down who is behind all this. I hope you are careful going to the office, sir. We don’t know what they are doing right now,” Kainer answered seriously from the other end of the phone. Kainer immediately worried about Christian’s safety when he found out that his master was currently out of the office.

Christian nods slowly. “I know, don’t worry.”

Suri gulped, seeing how serious Christian’s tone was at this moment made her sure that something bad was going on.

“What’s the matter, Christ?” Suri asks quietly as Christian finishes his conversation with Kainer.

“There’s a bit of a problem,” Christian replied briefly as he looked around the restaurant, through the third floor where he is currently, Christian’s view is wider.

Suri who was afraid then gripped Christian’s arm tightly. “What is it?” she asked again.

“I will leave this restaurant first, you and the others stay here. Wait for my signal,” Christian said seriously, his hands gripping Suri’s shoulders tightly.

Suri shook her head. “No, you’re still here too. At least until then...”

“I have to get to the office, Suri. There’s a bad guy trying to mess with the company’s database.” Christian finally says the big problem that Kainer had reported to him a moment ago. “And I have to be at the office to help Nicholas.”

“But...”

“Call Areez, ask him to come and remember my message not to leave this restaurant at least until Areez arrives. Tell him to come with his men.”

The frightened Suri grabs Christian’s hand, trying to stop him from leaving. “Tell me the reason why I have to ask Areez to come with his men? Is there a bad person who is after us here?”

Christian who had no other choice then confessed, using the softest words Christian explained the real incident to Suri. Christian explains the current emergency. Suri, who had guessed earlier, immediately tightened her grip on Christian’s arm.

“No, you can’t get out of this place,” said Suri hoarsely. “Wait for the police to come, wait until it’s safe, Christ.” Suri’s eyes filled with tears, she looked so scared. Hearing that a bad person is after them makes the fear come back again, the trauma of the events in Zurich four years ago slowly surfaced.

“I’m not alone, honey. There’s my men downstairs, they’re all armed. They’ll protect me, you don’t have to worry. I’ll be fine.” Christian tries to calm Suri as calmly as possible. “You haven’t forgotten who I am, have you? I’m Christian Clarke, I’m a great person, Suri.”

Suri hits Christian’s chest, she is angry at her brother who is trying to be funny in such a very inappropriate situation. Suri’s intention to again seduce Christian so as not to leave was stopped by the sound of the footsteps of many people approaching them, automatically Suri then turned towards the stairs where at this time Asher and Charlotte the spoiled leech appeared with some of Christian’s men. They all looked panicked.

“What’s the matter, Christ? Why did your men ask us to gather here? What happened?” asked Charlotte scared, she tried to reach Christian but was stopped by Suri who immediately used her body to become Christian’s shield. Charlotte’s face, which initially looked panicked and afraid, immediately changed drastically when she realized Suri’s actions.

“Nothing, everything is fine,” Christian replies quietly, his left hand patting Suri’s shoulder signaling his little sister to calm down and not cause trouble with Charlotte. Christian knows what Suri’s goal is to suddenly change places. “Right now you stay here with Suri and Asher.” Christian glanced at Asher, Asher who understood what Christian meant then nodded his head quickly. “Wait for my people to pick you up.”

Charlotte shook her head. “Then how about you? You’ll be waiting with us, won’t you?”

“I’m going back to the office, I have important business to attend to,” Christian replies quickly.

“But....”

“Don’t make things worse, Charlotte,” said Suri, annoyed. “Just follow what my brother says.”

Charlotte who was putting on her best sad face immediately turned to Suri who had just spoken so curtly to her, she seemed to be holding herself back from exploding right now. Charlotte doesn’t want Christian to have a bad opinion of her.

“Everything’s going to be fine, Cherry,” Christian says quietly, pronouncing Charlotte’s first name.

Charlotte’s cheeks immediately turned red when she heard Christian’s words, she didn’t expect Christian to call her by her first name at times like this.

“Come on sir, it looks like things are safe downstairs.”

Christian nods slowly, responding to the words of one of his bodyguards. Before leaving Christian lands a kiss on Suri’s forehead and says “I’m leaving, take care of yourself and don’t forget to call Areez.”

“Okay.”

Christian smiles, he slowly turns to Asher. “Take care of Suri, don’t disappoint me again.”

“I’ll take care of it with my life, Christ,” Asher answered earnestly.

Christian nods his head and rushes to the stairs to get down with his three men, while Christian is going down the stairs asking his men for guns. Even though there are currently people guarding him, Christian still asks for a gun just in case something bad will happen.
