102 Fight back
Suri’s birthday was celebrated with great fanfare, some invited guests who were business associates of Jack began to arrive. Some of them went straight to Suri and congratulated her sincerely.
With the scenario that Jack had previously made, no one asked about Suri’s activities so far. Charity activities in several orphanages spread across the country which were created in the name of Suri managed to fool everyone and none of them realized that Jack had a big role in all of these events.
“Mom, where’s Christian? Why hasn’t he shown up yet? He can’t not come, can he?” asked Suri nervously. “I wouldn’t be blowing my birthday cake if Christian wasn’t here.”
“Your brother will definitely come, dear. Be patient, maybe your brother is stuck in traffic,” replied Anne softly, trying to be calm even though she was also very nervous because Cristian did not respond to any messages or calls from her.
Suri stomped her foot on the floor firmly. “Switzerland is a developed country that is free from traffic jams, not like developing countries, Mommy! How could Christian get stuck in traffic? Besides, he can use a helicopter like he used to do when he picked me up from school. Maybe Christian will go straight home to Luxembourg.”
Anne immediately bit her lips strongly hearing her daughter’s words, fear immediately overtook her.
Jack, who had been welcoming his co-workers who had attended Suri’s birthday party, then walked towards Anne and Suri who were standing not far from Suri’s birthday cake in the shape of a palace.
“Come on, it’s time for you to blow out the candles, honey,” Jack said softly. “The guests are waiting.”
“I don’t want to blow out the candles if Christian isn’t here,” Suri replies curtly. “He hasn’t given me a present either, anyway I don’t want to continue the event without Christian. Period!”
.....
Anne, who was at her wits’ end to seduce Suri, gripped Jack’s arm tightly, Jack, who understood the code given by his wife, nodded slowly.
“Your brother must come, you know that you are his favorite?” said Jack softly, seducing Suri to want to start the event.
“Yes dear, the guests have also been too long.” Anne replied to Jack’s words quickly.
Suri looks confused, the words of her parents make her indecisive. Realizing that her parents’ names are at stake in this event, Suri finally agrees to start the event even though she doesn’t fully enjoy the event, because her brotter has not yet seen the bridge of her nose.
When Suri was asked to blow out the candles by the host, suddenly there was a commotion from behind. Jack and Anne who were standing near Suri and Asher who were standing near Suri’s birthday cake also turned their eyes to the source of the sound, where a well-built young man with a mask was walking with a girl who was wearing a dress of the same color as him. Even though his face was covered, everyone could tell who was the person who was walking towards the place where the Clarke family was standing right now.
“Christ...”
Christian who came wearing a mask like Elena thinned his lips at his sister’s call.
“Continue the show, Suri,” Christian said quietly without taking his hand from Elena’s waist who was standing on his left.
Moments ago, Elena suddenly felt uneasy and asked Christian’s permission to stay at the hotel, Elena was not ready to meet Christian’s family. Christian, who already had the intention to introduce Elena to his parents, immediately rejected Elena’s request, because Elena was still nervous, Christian finally proposed Elena to wear a mask. And Christian’s crazy idea managed to make Elena feel confident again, realizing that if the scars from her mother’s slap were still clearly visible on her cheeks, she chose to wear the same mask as Elena, only in a different color.
Even though Suri was still confused by the appearance of her brother who looked very strange, Suri continued the event by blowing out the candles that had already begun to burn halfway. As soon as the candles were blown there was applause from all the guests present including Elena and Christian who were still standing next to each other.
Jack and Anne simultaneously gave Suri a kiss, followed by Asher, who since Christian came immediately looked tense.
Seeing Suri approaching her, Elena tries to get Christian’s hand off her waist. But instead of letting go, Christian’s grip on her hand got even stronger there, making Elena feel bad because everyone in the room was looking at her, including the show’s owner, Jackson and Marianne Clarke, who seemed so intense to her. Although Christian often has multiple lovers, this is the first time Christian has brought a girl to his family event. And that’s why at this time Jack and Elena were so curious about the figure of Elena, the masked girl who was standing next to the son.
Without removing his left hand from Elena’s waist, Christian gives his little sister a hug and a happy birthday that he has brought home.
“May you always be happy, Suri,” Christian whispers softly in Suri’s ear as he hugs her.
Suri smiled. “Thank you.”
Christian pursed his lips, after being satisfied with hugging Suri, Christian slowly removed his hand from Suri’s body and officially introduced Elena to his sister who looked so curious about Elena.
“Elena Wilson, my future wife,” Christian says quietly to Suri, introducing Elena as his future wife.
Even though Christian’s voice is not that loud, Anne and Jack who are standing behind Suri can hear what Christian is saying. The two of them spontaneously came forward, approaching Christian.
“What the hell, Christ? Watch your words, this is Suri’s birthday. A lot of Daddy’s co-workers are coming, you’re not trying to embarrass Daddy, are you?” Jack quickly preceded Suri who was about to speak.
Christian thinns his lips at his father’s words, his guess is right, it turns out that his father is still not by his side until now. Sensing that Elena was scared, Christian then turned his gaze back to Suri and smiled at her. “Your gift is already at home, once again happy birthday Suri.”
After saying that Cristian then released his hand from Elena’s waist and turned to her already very cold hand, after feeling his hand gripping Elena’s fingers, Christian immediately pulled Elena out of the place, ignoring the words of his father who had just given a stubborn warning.
“Christ...”
“Shut up, Elena.”
Elena immediately closed her lips tightly, her intention to stop Christian from leaving the party immediately disappeared knowing that Cristian was currently angry. The sound of Christian’s breath, which is so heavy, can be heard clearly in her ears.
Several of Jack’s co-workers who recognized Christian tried to reprimand him, but none of them were answered by Christian. All Christian did was keep walking, splitting the crowd of guests present towards the exit where by this time Kainer and several of his other bodyguards were waiting. As if he knew what had happened, Kainer then immediately walked quickly to the car that was still stopped in front of the hotel lobby where Suri’s birthday was taking place.
“We’re going back to Luxembourg tonight,” Christian says coldly to Kainer who is waiting for him at the car door.
“Very well, young master. I will prepare everything.”
Christian nods slowly, after making sure Elena gets into the car he does the same. It was his good intention to officially introduce Elena to his parents and sister disappeared after Christian heard unpleasant words from his father and that’s why Christian decided to return to his home, in Luxembourg. The place where he grew up and was raised so harshly by Luis was like the wish of David Clarke who wanted a great heir.
“What you are doing now is evil, Christ. Your father, mother and sister must be sad to see you go like that,” said Elena quietly. “Moreover, today is your sister’s birthday, a special day that should be filled with laughter right with an unpleasant incident like this.”
Christian, who had been staring at the bustling streets of Geneva, slowly turned his gaze to Elena who had just finished speaking. “Didn’t you hear what my father said earlier?”
“I heard and it didn’t feel wrong, your father just warned you not to talk about sensitive issues like that at your sister’s birthday which in fact is being filled with many people. If I were in your father’s position I would definitely say something like that.”
Christian chuckles at Elena’s words. “You’re too innocent, Elena. That man, Mr. Jackson Patrick Clarke is a man who never plays around when he talks. He is always serious...”
“But he...”
“And he already has another son who he loves so dearly with all his heart that with the heart..” Christian immediately stopped his words. “Never mind, I don’t want to bring up old wounds that have started to heal.”
“With what heart, Christ?” asked Elena curiously. “Go on with your words!”
“Elena...”
Elena shook her head. “No, answer my question first. Don’t make me curious, you’re not hiding anything from me, are you?”
“Hide what? Don’t talk nonsense!”
Elena shrugged her shoulders up. “How do I know, only you know yourself. Who knows if you’ve actually been betrothed to a daughter of your father’s co-worker or some other rich family, as always.”
Christian, who was trying to suppress his emotions, was again provoked by Elena’s provocation, with the strength of his hand, Christian suddenly grabbed Elena’s hand and brought her closer to him.
“I’ve never been betrothed to anyone, I’m already very rich and don’t need that kind of marriage to increase my wealth. So don’t ever say that damn matchmaking thing in front of me again because that kind of thing will never happen in my life,” Christian said warningly. “I have the right to choose and find the woman I want on my own without anyone else’s interference.”
Elena gulped, being this close to Christian made her uncomfortable. Especially now that they were in the car, there was Kainer and Alex the driver.
“You got it, Elena!”
Elena nodded slowly. “Yes, I understand. But...”
“No buts, Elena!”
“But tell me, who is the other son your father has? Your father didn’t have any illegitimate children from other women, did he?”
