Love Worth Fighting For

Anne, who realized Zwetta’s condition, then gave a loving hug to her beautiful daughter-in-law, Anne realized that Zwetta was currently very broken.

“And you don’t have to feel guilty Zee.” Christian firmly asked Zwetta not to lament over all the missions she had carried out under Robin’s orders. “You know nothing about all those missions, so stop feeling guilty.”

“But I killed those people,” Zwetta hoarsely. “I have killed many innocent people.”

“Zee...”

“I’ve become a cruel killer,” Zwetta sobbed again.

Anne, who could not stand it, grabbed Zwetta’s face, which was bowed upwards at the same level as her face. “You’re innocent dear, you’re completely innocent,” Anne said firmly. “What you did back then was under Robin’s orders, so don’t be sad or call yourself a murderer because you’re just a victim. A victim of Robin Jones’ trickery.”

Zwetta’s eyes glazed over at his mother-in-law’s words, the tightness in his heart easing a little.

“A..am I the only one who doesn’t know the real purpose of those missions, Christ?”stammered Zwetta.

.....

“Unfortunately, yes, you’re the only person who doesn’t know about all of Robin Jones’ insidious plans,” Christian answered firmly, even though he knew his answer would hurt his wife, but Christian chose to speak the truth. Christian thinks that Zwetta should know as soon as possible. “I’m sorry I have to talk like this, but this is the only way to tell you all the rottenness of that man.”

Instead of being angry, Zwetta’s lips just curved into a smile that was so wide on his face. “Robin really made me the stupidest person, he really managed to make me the most heartless human.”

“Zee.” Anne took Zwetta’s which felt so cold. “Don’t blame them, you should thank them.”

“Thank you?”

“Yes.” Anne nodded her head slowly. “You should be grateful to them, especially to Robin who didn’t tell you the true mission. Because by not knowing about the mission, you don’t have to feel guilty for the victims who have become Robin’s atrocities, by your ignorance of the true goals of the missions. if you do, then you will not be charged with sin. The ones who bear the sin for the death of those people are those who know the purpose of the mission.”

“Is that true?”stammered Zwetta .

“Of course it’s true, let alone in the eyes of the all-understanding, all-knowing and all-great God. Even in the eyes of human law you are innocent, you are completely innocent. The police won’t be able to charge you with anything, because what you did was based on the orders of Robin Jones, the man who was the mastermind of all those massacres and robberies. The police will only arrest the mastermind, so you don’t have to keep blaming yourself.” Anne answered all of Zwetta’s questions in words that were easy to understand.

Jack smiled a little. “What your Mommy said was right, Zee. So stop blaming yourself, you’re innocent. Oliver Lee wouldn’t dare touch you either.”

“Daddy knew Oliver Lee?”

“It’s not only Daddy who knows Oliver Lee, your husband knows him very well too, Zee,” Jack replied quietly.

“Christian?”

“Your husband is the man who brought Oliver Lee to his knees, Zee.” Areez who had been silent until now finally spoke. “So you don’t need to worry or be afraid of him, because Oliver Lee was already afraid of your husband long ago.”

Zwetta immediately turned to Christian, staring at him with great curiosity. “Why is Oliver Lee afraid of you? He’s the chief of police for New York City, it’s absolutely impossible for someone like him to be afraid of civilians.”

“How could he not be afraid, Christian holds the man’s dead card,” said Areez again, smiling broadly.

“Areez,” Christian growls warningly. “Don’t talk nonsense.”

“What nonsense?” Areez immediately answered Christian’s words quickly. “I know that Oliver Lee is very afraid of you, after all there isn’t anyone who wouldn’t be afraid of someone who already knows his biggest secret. Including Oliver Lee, the chief of police for New York City.”

“What’s Oliver Lee’s secret?” asked Anne curiously.

“Oliver Lee and Robin Jones both stole rare diamonds owned by Iraqi rebels,” Areez answered quickly. “The police chief hunted Robin Jones to keep himself safe, he wanted to get rid of Robin Jones so no one would know about his crime.”

“Jesus.” Anne covered her mouth with both hands, so did Zwetta. Zwetta, who knew Oliver Lee very well, also seemed very surprised to hear Areez’s words. She did not expect that Oliver Lee, the police chief, had ever committed a major crime.

Seeing Zwetta’s shocked expression Areez laughed amusedly, she seemed to enjoy Zwetta’s obvious shock.

Christian, who was not happy to see Areez laughing, then threw a punch that Areez couldn’t avoid, the silver-haired man immediately looked down holding his stomach which ached from Christian’s punch.

“Brother, why did you hit Areez?” screamed Suri loudly, Suri could not accept seeing Areez in pain like this.

“Tell your boyfriend not to talk nonsense,” Christian snapped. “He’s been too talkative, like an old woman who hasn’t eaten.”

“Who are you calling an old woman?!”

“Enough.” Jack intervened again to break up Christian and Suri’s argument. “You’ve grown up, how long do you want to fight like this, hm?”

Suri pursed her lips. “Christian started it, Daddy!”

“Why so me? Blame it on your lover for talking too much,” said Christian, not to be outdone.

“Christ.” Zwetta touches Christian’s wrist. “You’re going to be a father soon, how long are you going to continue like this? Aren’t you ashamed of your child?”

It was not only Christian who immediately locked his lips tightly, Suri, who intended to seduce Christian again, immediately did not move. Zwetta’s words made her tongue feel numb.

Anne smiled a little, her delicate fingers again squeezing Zwetta’s fingers which already felt warmer than before. “It’s a good thing you’re around, Mommy really couldn’t stop the two of them from fighting.”

Zwetta pursed her lips. “It seems that Mommy really has unlimited patience, huh?”

“Not anymore, dear,” said Anne quickly. “Yes, let’s not talk about it anymore, talking about the two of them will never end, we better go to the kitchen. Mommy is hungry, Mommy wants to enjoy a new flavor of gelato. Do you like gelato?”

Zwetta’s eyes opened wide. “I like gelato, I really like it. Especially the matcha flavor.”

“Well, thank God then, the gelato that Jorge bought yesterday looks like gelato flavor,” said Anne excitedly.

Zwetta immediately got up from the sofa where she was sitting. “Let’s go to the kitchen, Mom.”
