Love Worth Fighting For

259 Punish me!

“And thank you, thank you for making me lose the love of my life,” Christian says in a trembling voice, tears welling in his eyes as he speaks. “Thank you for making me do cruel things to Elena, making an innocent woman a victim, making my child born prematurely. Thank you Suri.” Christian finishes his sentence again, the pain in his chest too strong to resist. Christian tries hard not to hurt Suri, he still keeps his sanity so as not to hurt Suri’s skin.

Suri shook her head frantically, her face filled with tears turning pale. The words Christian just said pierced her chest. Even though she had prepared herself and heart if something like this happened, but in fact when it all came Suri was not able to accept it well. Her heart ached when she heard her brother’s words.

“I didn’t mean it like that, Christ. I didn’t mean to ruin your relationship with Elena, I really didn’t have such a bad intention,” replied Suri regretfully. “I really don’t know, I’m really confused, Christ. I really don’t...”

“No Suri.” Christian releases Suri’s hand from his grip and pushes her back so that Suri sits back on the sofa. “You can’t not know, you are the one who has been with the masked girl for a long time, the one who saved you from the person who intended to sell you to an asshole. How could you call such a person of great merit as part of the kidnapper? Why Suri? why are you doing this, huh!!” Christian shouts loudly, as long as Suri and Asher have grown up with Christian this is the only time they both hear Christian speak so loudly.

“And one more thing, why are you hiding the fact that Areez Floyen is the one who has held you captive for years! Why didn’t you tell us the truth? Why, Suri? Why?!”

Christian is absolutely furious, his body shaking violently as he speaks. He really couldn’t believe it and suspected that Suri was actually hiding such a big fact.

Jack who had been holding back from venting his anger on Areez froze, his eyes closed a few times when he heard Christian speak. Jack, who had a big share in the injury that Elena got, really regretted it at this time, Jack really felt ashamed because he had accused Elena of being the person most responsible for Suri’s suffering. While the fact is not like that, Suri the beloved princess who made him hate and hurt an innocent girl actually hides the real culprit. The one who had made him disappear from the world for three years.

From near the door, Nicholas and Asher who were already standing side by side neither dared to open their mouths. Both of them were still so shocked to hear Areez’s unexpected confession, what they were seeing right now really seemed to be in a drama. The person who has been so kind to Suri turns out to be the person whose figure is most wanted to be held accountable for the events of Suri’s disappearance over the years.

Christian wipes the tears that stream down his pale face. “You didn’t just break me, Suri. You didn’t just hurt me with this immense guilt, you really ruined my life. You made me hurt Elena...” Christian gripped his left chest tightly as the pain swelled with pain. which is more painful in that area. “You made me hurt Elena, an innocent person. Because of your lies that have hidden the main culprit, Elena became a victim. She who is innocent must get all the suffering that she should never get at all.”

.....

Suri quickly shook her head again, her numb tongue unable to answer Christian’s words that were so very painful. From the floor, Areez, who was still under Jack’s control, closed his eyes because of Christian’s words, as the person who has the biggest sin in this matter, Areez really can’t answer Christian’s words. What Christian said a moment ago is undeniable, because everything he said is true. The innocent Elena was already the one who suffered the most in such a complicated matter.

“And my daughter,” Christian says again though his voice is not as loud as before. “My child wouldn’t be like this if you didn’t say that nonsense, Suri. Luna must have been born in perfect condition, healthy and become a beautiful and adorable baby, unlike now. She has never been able to get out of her breathing apparatus for the rest of her life, everything that happened to Luna was because of your selfishness and that bastard who was both cowardly. You’re the one who made Luna suffer like that, Suri. You’re the one who ruined my life so perfectly.”

Nicholas who couldn’t stand Christian’s words stepped closer to the young man who was being shattered into pieces, using one hand Nicholas patted Christian’s back gently. He tries to calm a broken Christian.

“I really can’t believe you had the heart to do this to me, Suri,” Christian says back. “You have ruined my life, you have snatched my happiness without a trace.”

Suri bites her lower lip firmly when her head is lowered again, the words that come out of Christian’s lips replay in her head even though Christian has stopped talking.

Christian suddenly stepped towards his father, with lips tightly locked Christian pulled Areez up from the floor ignoring his father who immediately stepped away as soon as Christian touched Areez’s collar.

“You are really amazing, Areez. Your acting for these months is really great, you come like a hero in our family but in fact you are a villain who has destroyed our family,” Christian said quietly right in front of Areez’s face which had started to show. purplish red on Jack’s punches. “Thank you Areez, thank you for opening my eyes and making me realize that demons don’t always have a terrible and disgusting appearance.”

Christian, who was already having difficulty breathing, then released his grip on Areez, without turning back to Suri who was looking at him with regret. Christian stepped out of his father’s study with a broken heart. The reality he had just come to know had completely crushed him to the ground.

Watching Christian leave with his head down, Jack clenched his fists again. “Get this guy out of my sight,” Jack said quietly to Nicholas who was staring at him with an unreadable expression. “Make him...”

“Daddy don’t!” Suri screamed loudly. “Please don’t do that, Areez is not entirely guilty. I am the one who is guilty of forbidding him to tell all this to you, if Daddy wants to punish then punish me. I am the one who deserves that punishment, not Areez.”
