Love Worth Fighting For

“At that time I was overcome with anger, Zee. I really couldn’t think straight, that’s why I made that decision,” Christian continues hoarsely. “After all, what I did was right.”

“You did the right thing? You justified the kidnapping of a girl? Oh my God, you’re really insane, Christ!!”

“The one who was angry and chased after Elena was not only me, Zee. Daddy was also very angry with her... Daddy sent his best men to catch and imprison her, lucky at that time my men moved much faster than Daddy. Because if my Daddy’s men got Elena first of all, I don’t know what will happen to her,” Christian says again. “Besides, I didn’t torture her, I just cut her off from the outside world. I locked her up in my family’s private villa.”

“Not torturing?”

Christian’s face turns pale. “At that time I didn’t torture her, I just hid her from everyone. Cut off her relationship with the outside world.”

Prank...

Zwetta who was annoyed immediately threw the flower vase on the table to the floor with a bang.

“What’s not torturing? Kidnapping, holding and severing ties with everyone is a barbaric act. It’s torture of the highest level and you’re still defending yourself if it wasn’t torture? Mental illness!! You’re completely insane, Christ. You’re already like a psychopath.” Zwetta’ chest up and down, her emotions completely out of control. The confession Christian had just said made her so emotional. If only she had a gun on her waist right now, Zwetta will give a shot to Christian.

.....

Christian lowers his head, his already interlocked fingers turning white. Christian looks so depressed and feels so guilty.

“And now where is Elena Wilson? I’m sure you know where she is, right?”

Christian lifts his face. “No Zee, I don’t know. I’ve also been looking for it for months and to no avail, I couldn’t find any trace of it.”

“Then what about Elena Wilson’s parents, have you and your father apologized to them? Both parents must be very sad and worried about the sudden disappearance of their only daughter like that, at this time they might...”

“They’re dead, Zee,” Christian says quietly.

Jesus...Zwetta covered her mouth with both hands.

Christian’s eyes glaze over with regret. “Jody Wilson had health problems especially with his heart, he died a few hours before his wife and them...”

“And you can still be like this? Enjoying your life happily without guilt? You are really amazing, I think Lucifer must lose compete with you. You’re really great...” Zwetta ended her words by clapping her hands and suddenly Zwetta took off the infinity ring Christian had forcibly put on her ring finger this afternoon. “I’m returning this ring, I don’t deserve to wear it. I don’t want to end my life like Elena Wilson, you and your dad are real psychopaths.”

Christian shakes his head. Panic. “No Zee, you can’t take the ring off. You’re ready to wear it, you’ve also accepted my proposal and promised to accompany my days.”

Zwetta, who was already standing, laughed softly. “I don’t want to end up like Elena Wilson, even though I don’t have parents anymore but I still don’t want to fall victim to your madness by locking her up in a villa like that. I’d rather spend the rest of my life on the battlefield than die slowly in your prison..”

“Watch your words, Zee!! You can’t say things like that.”

“Who are you to dare to control me, huh?!” Zwetta snaps at Christian harshly. “You are nobody, you also don’t have any share in my life so you have no right to control me.”

Christian gets up from the sofa and tries to approach Zwetta, but Zwetta who is fed up and disappointed in Christian backs off just as Christian tries to touch her.

“Don’t touch me!! I don’t want to come into contact with people who have no morals like you. All the atrocities you have done to that family add to the list of reasons in my life why rich people like you deserve to be hated.”

After saying that Zwetta rushed into the room and immediately locked the door using a double lock that Christian would not be able to break easily by now pounding on the door, forcing Zwetta to open the door.

Zwetta who was already very angry decided to leave, she couldn’t stay near Christian. Apart from being so angry with Christian, Zwetta also feels guilty if she stays by Christian’s side, let alone accepts his proposal. Zwetta feels guilty towards Elena, even though she doesn’t know Elena directly but Zwetta still doesn’t accept the treatment given by the Clarke family to Elena and her parents. Zwetta felt sick and hurt.

Since Christian is outside, Zwetta easily finds and tidies up her personal belongings that Christian had been holding. For the past few days Christian has kept Zwetta in a small safe in the hotel room, Christian has done that to keep Zwetta from leaving him. However, because Christian is not present at this time, Zwetta opens the safe with the key still hanging. After confirming that her personal belongings were saved, Zwetta immediately changed into clothes that were neatly stored in her backpack. Zwetta completely ignored Christian’s screams outside, her determination to walk away from the man was strong.

“Zee... we can talk about this, Zee.”

“Please open the door, honey. You promised me you wouldn’t leave me, Zee..”

“Zwetta hear me, this is all just a misunderstanding. You haven’t heard all my explanations, Zee.”

Knock...knock....

“Open the door, honey.”

In a panic, Christian continues to force Zwetta to open the tightly locked bedroom door, he doesn’t care about the pain that appears on the back of his fingers. Christian’s effort to knock on the bedroom door is too strong to his fingers hurt

“Zwetta...”

Christian’s words stopped when the door to the room opened suddenly and Zwetta who had returned to being herself again looked so ready to go, the backpack that had been stored in the closet was already on Zwetta’s back.

Christian shakes his head. Panic. “Where are you going, honey?”

“Don’t call me that, I don’t love you!”

“You can’t be like this, Zee. You promised me to...”

“I never said if I accepted your proposal, I also never agreed to your request to be your wife. So you have no right to forbid me to go,” Zwetta firmly, her eyes showing so much anger. “It seems that God still loves me, because otherwise I might end up having the same fate as Elena Wilson whom you guys tortured so cruelly.”

Christian, who doesn’t want to lose his love for the second time, tries to approach Zwetta, but Zwetta who is already so alert, easily avoids Christian’s embrace. Zwetta even had time to give a punch to Christian’s stomach which managed to make him fall. Zwetta is grateful that Christian forces her to eat, so she has the energy to beat the man.

“Listen to me carefully, Christ.” Zwetta points at Christian with one hand. “Before you apologize to Elena and kneel on the grave of her parents, then I will not forgive you. Believe me, your life will not be calm and happy until you do that to them. Likewise with all the other members of your family, who have been stupid believe the words of the spoiled princess.”

Christian’s tongue was blank, he was unable to answer Zwetta that slapped him hard.

“I’m not part of the Wilson family, I’m so angry like this, I really can’t imagine how Elena Wilson hates you especially for you, Christ,” Zwetta hoarsely said with anger, her chest felt so tight when she spoke. “Immediately ask God for forgiveness, ask Him for help to immediately bring you together with Elena Wilson so that you can apologize to her. I’m really sorry I saved your sister, if only at that time I didn’t help her and let her become one of the victims of Osbert’s madness. Maybe this simple family is still living quietly.”

Christian clenched his fists. “You’re a woman, Zee. How can you say that?”

Zwetta smiled. “You’re defending your sister? So who’s defending Elena Wilson and her family? It’s clear that the root of all this problem is your spoiled little sister’s stupidity, yet you continue to defend her. I really can’t believe it... I don’t think I need to talk to you anymore. people like you can’t be spoken to properly.”

“You can’t leave like this, Zee!!” Christian snaps loudly, stopping Zwetta who was already on his feet. “You promised you wouldn’t leave me.”

Zwetta who is really disappointed and angry with Christian decides to continue on her way, leaving Christian who is trying to get up with his hands still clutching his aching stomach. Zwetta ignored Christian’s screams that kept calling her name, Zwetta at this time was to get as far out of Christian Clarke’s reach as possible.
