Love Worth Fighting For

Charlotte’s presence at a dinner with Star Entertainment staff was enough to make a scene in the restaurant for a few minutes because she thought Charlotte was the lover of a Christian Clarke, the excitement only subsided when Christian explained that they were just friends.

“Thank you,” Christian says sincerely. “I’m really happy to see you again, Charlotte.” After finishing eating, Christian took the time to take Charlotte back to her apartment before leaving for the airport. Tonight Christian and Kainer return to Luxembourg.

Charlotte smiled. “Isn’t that what friends are supposed to do, huh? Support each other.”

“Yeah and I’m so lucky for that.”

Charlotte’s smile widened. “So you’re back in Luxembourg tonight?”

“Yeah, I have important business to do so I can’t stay in this country for long.”

“You workaholic.”

Christian chuckles. “I hope we can meet again in Luxembourg or in Geneva, Mommy will be pleased to meet you.”

.....

“I miss Aunt Anne too,” Charlotte said honestly. “After my business is done, I will come to Geneva immediately.”

“Okay, then I’ll excuse myself.”

Charlotte stares at Christian’s outstretched hand. “So soon? Don’t want to come in and taste my coffee?”

“Next time, Charlotte. I have to get to the airport now,” Christian refuses politely.

“Okay.” Charlotte immediately grabbed Christian’s hand and squeezed it tightly. “See you next time.”

Christian nodded slowly and left in front of Charlotte who was standing in front of the entrance to her apartment, Charlotte waved at Christian who had gotten into the car that Kainer was driving. The beautiful girl only lowered her hands from the air when the car carrying Christian was nowhere to be seen.

Charlotte finally enters her apartment with her head down low, her hopes of being able to melt Christian tonight are gone. Her attempts to get Christian’s attention by buying one of the most expensive diamond necklaces from Christian’s company are in vain, the man is still very hard to beat. Charlotte forgets that Christian is a man who doesn’t fall in love easily, a cold man who is so stubborn.

After thirty minutes, Christian and Kainer were on the plane. The journey to the airport went so smoothly that they were able to arrive at the airport on time like never before when they were about to leave for New York. After getting permission, the jet black with the most advanced engines was successfully airborne.

“After this exhibition they will definitely take Clarke Enterprise into account, sir,” Kainer said quietly.

Christian nods slowly. “I hope so, I want to make Clarke Enterprise the number one company in the world.” Christian’s eyes flash with ambition.

Not wanting to spoil the master’s mood, Kainer decided to keep himself busy by checking out his other work. Leaving the office for a week had to make Kainer clever in dividing his time to take care of his main work at the office.

While Kainer works, Christian chooses to drink wine. When he had finished half of the contents of his glass, Christian then took out his second cell phone from the small bag that had been neglected for a week. Christian’s heart almost stops when he reads the latest message Romaria has sent.

“No.... This is impossible.”

***

Clarke family villa.

“Don’t worry, Miss. Everything will be fine,” said Romaria quietly, trying to calm Elena who was sitting on the sofa. Elena’s face changes when she hears the news that Christian has arrived in Luxembourg.

Elena nodded slowly trying not to calm Romaria.

“I will always be with you, so don’t feel alone, Miss,” said Romaria again.

“Thank you, Romaria.”

Romaria smiled, but her smile disappeared as soon as she caught the sound of several cars stopping in the front yard. Romaria immediately moved to stand beside Elena, she had decided to protect Elena from Christian’s anger.

This morning, after Elena showed her five pregnancy test kits, all of which showed the same two red stripes, Romaria then reported the news to Christian. At first Romaria thought that her message would not be read immediately like her other messages, but just as she was about to close her cell phone, Romaria suddenly realized that Christian had actually read the message. That’s why at this moment Romaria is so panicked, she is afraid that Christian will be very angry considering the efforts Christian has made one week ago by asking doctor Catherine for help.

Romaria’s heartbeat quickened when she heard the sound of footsteps getting closer to the room, but Elena had a different attitude. Elena looks so calm, the way she sits is also still so graceful it doesn’t change.

The long awaited figure finally appears, Christian who did not sleep during the flight from New York is now standing in front of Elena and Romaria. His gaze immediately fell on Elena who was also looking at him.

“Get out of Romaria,” Christian orders hoarsely, shooing Romaria away from him and Elena.

“It’s not Miss Elena’s fault...”

“Get out!!”

Romaria, who already had the intention to protect Elena, immediately shrunk when she heard Christian’s scream.

“This is my business with Elena,” Christian growls warningly. “So don’t interfere and get out before I change my mind.”

“Come out Romaria,” whispered Elena quietly. “I am alright.”

“But Miss...”

Elena pursed her lips. “Christian wouldn’t dare hurt me.”

Having no other choice, Romaria finally decides to leave the room, leaving Elena and Christian alone.

Christian is still standing where he was for a few minutes after Romaria came out, his blue eyes staring at Elena unblinking. Knowing the fact that Elena was pregnant right now made him so angry, all the plans he had made for Elena instantly fell apart.

“You did it on purpose,” Christian says quietly, breaking the silence.

Elena raised one eyebrow. “On purpose? What do you mean?”

“Don’t play dumb, Elena. You are a cunning and clever woman, you must have calculated everything very neatly, right? You must be doing this to continue your cunning plan, right?” accused Christian viciously.

“I don’t know what else to say, I’m at a loss for words at this point.”

Christian clenched his fists. “Is that child really my seed?”

Elena’s chest felt tight. “The only one who can answer that question is you, Christ.”

“Elena...”

“I was still able to take good care of myself for almost twenty-three years before you brought me to Interlaken four months ago,” Elena says quietly, sarcastically at Christian. Elena tries to remind Christian what he had done to her in the house Christian bought without his family knowing, a house that bears silent witness to how much she loves him.

Christian’s jaw tightens, his face red. Being reminded of what he had done four months ago at Interlaken leaves Christian at a loss for words, his brain going blank.

“You don’t have to worry, I don’t hold you accountable for this child. I can give birth and...”

“Who gave you permission to give birth this baby?” Christian cuts Elena off quickly.

Elena’s face was pale, her hands automatically covered her stomach. “W..what do you mean? You didn’t mean to kill this baby, did you?”

Fuck...

KILL

As Christian’s will to speak disappears, the word ‘kill’ that Elena spoke keeps replaying in his head. Killing an unborn baby is the most immoral act and Christian is not an unscrupulous person, he was raised by a man who has such great loyalty to his family and loved ones.

“Christ...”

“Don’t talk anymore, now you better get ready. I’ll take you to the hospital,” Christian says coldly.

Elena shook her head frantically. “Y..you didn’t mean to ask me to have an abortion, did you?” Elena’s tears fell slowly.

Christian’s hands are clenched into fists. “Don’t force me to be rude, Elena. Just do as I tell you!!”

After saying that Christian immediately turned his body and immediately walked away leaving Elena who was hit by such great fear, even though she didn’t want the baby in her stomach but Elena still wouldn’t be able to let Christian take the baby away from her at this time.
