“Good morning, baby,” said Anne softly to Suri, who was still tossing her wet hair as she walked towards the dining table.
“Why didn’t Mommy wake me up?”
“Because you sleep so well, honey.” Jack, who had just taken a sip of his coffee, answered Suri’s question gently.
Suri snorted in annoyance.
Anne reached out her hand to gently stroke Suri’s hair. “Why are you angry? Is there anything you want to do so early in the morning?”
“I want to jog, I haven’t jogged in a long time. My whole body feels sore.”
“Is the massage from yesterday still lacking? Do you want us to go to...”
“No, Mom. I just want to exercise, not go to places like that,” replied Suri quietly.
Jack pursed his lips. “Today there is a charity event at the office, if you want you can come with Daddy.”
.....
Suri immediately turned her gaze to her father. “Charity event?”
“An annual charity event that’s been going on for the last three years,” Jack answered quietly.
Suri, who looks still not satisfied, still looks at her father without blinking. She still demands more explanation from her father. Having no other choice, Jack finally explained the reason for the long-standing charity event, while his father was talking, Suri locked her lips together. She didn’t think that her parents would organize such an event on her behalf.
“Why do Mommy and Daddy make such an event?” Suri, who couldn’t stand it, finally asked the question that had been coming straight to her for a long time.
Anne squeezed Jack’s hand gently, giving it a code to tell Suri everything. After being silent for a second, Jack finally told Suri all the things he had done for the past three years to keep Suri alive in everyone’s eyes.
“Daddy wants everyone to know that you are still in our midst,” said Jack slowly ending his story with puffy eyes. “Sorry Suri, I’m sorry that we didn’t make it public about the incident. At that time Daddy was too arrogant to think we would find you as soon as possible, that’s why Daddy didn’t tell anyone about what happened that time. That’s why everyone didn’t know that you were kidnapped and missing for three year.”
“Don’t just blame your Daddy, dear. Because Mommy also took part in the creation of the Foundation on your behalf, that is,” said Anne quietly in response to Jack’s words, she didn’t want Jack to bear all the blame alone.
“So you’ve been doing a lot of social work on my behalf all this time?” asked Suri slowly.
“Yes dear,” answered Anne quickly. “We want to keep your image good in public, even though you are never seen in front of the camera. We want to make your existence still exist, dear.”
“I’m sorry, Suri. We know it’s wrong, but it’s the only way we can think of to keep you present in our midst after all the ways we’ve done to find you,” added Jack quietly. “Sorry about this Daddy’s incompetence, honey. Daddy’s really useless.”
Suri immediately got up from her chair and rushed towards Jack. “No, don’t talk like that, Daddy. Daddy’s innocent, Daddy’s the greatest dad in the whole world. So please don’t talk like that.”
Jack, who had been carried away, tightened his arms on Suri. He feels happy with Suri who has grown up, her spoiled and irritable Suri has now become wiser in dealing with a problem.
“It’s also not Mommy’s fault, I’m actually happy with all the activities that Mommy and Daddy have done,” added Suri gently when she felt the softness of her mother’s hand stroking her hair.
Anne and Jack smiled at the same time, their spoiled little daughter had completely changed. Fearing that Suri would be uncomfortable, Jack slowly let go of his embrace on Suri, as well as Anne who finally led Suri to sit on a chair nearby.
“It’s all gone, don’t remember it again, okay. What’s important is that you’re home now,” said Anne softly as she wiped the tears that had just come out of the corners of Suri’s beautiful eyes.
Jack smiled. “What Mommy said is true, now you’re home. So don’t remember the bad things that have passed, it’s time for you to live your life again. A happy life.”
Siri nodded slowly. “Yes, Dad.”
“Good girl,” said Anne quickly, quickly grabbing Suri’s hand and kissing it many times, as she used to do when Suri was little.
“Can Daddy ask, honey?” he asked quietly.
“Sure.”
Jack clenched his fists tightly. “Can you tell us what happened that day?”
“Jack...”
“It’s ok, Mom.” Suri immediately interrupted her mother’s words gently.
Anne shook her head. “No honey, you don’t have to tell me what happened in the past. We don’t need to talk about it anymore.”
“We have to know the truth, honey. I want to know who the bastard who dared to kidnap Jackson Clarke’s daughter,” said Jack hoarsely. “I want to take revenge on him, he must pay dearly for all the time he has stolen from all of us.”
Suri was silent, there was an upheaval in her at this time. On the one hand, Suri wants to tell everything to her father about how Areez took her from the hotel where she was kidnapped by a Hunter Angel until finally she was in the Floyen Mansion for three years, but on the other hand Suri’s other heart forbade her to tell everything that had happened to her for three years. Suri’s dilemma, Areez’s kindness and patience during these three years in dealing with all his rude behavior makes Suri doubt.
“But what if Suri’s trauma reappears, Jack. Don’t you know that doctor...”
“I was kidnapped by an Angel Hunter, Dad.”
Anne and Jack immediately turned to Suri at the same time, both of them seemed to process the sentence that just came out of Suri’s lips.
“W..what is Angel Hunter?” asked Jack stammering when he had regained his composure.
Suri squeezed her mother’s hand which was still above her left thigh. “Angel Hunter is someone who looks for girls to sell to philanderers who are willing to pay a high price...”
“What?” Anne and Jack shouted loudly at the same time.
Suri gulped. “That’s what the person who saved me from that bad guy said.”
“Wait, so someone else knows what happened? Who is he? Do you remember his name? Or have you met him maybe?” Jack immediately bombarded Suri with several questions at once.
“Jack,” whispered Anne softly warningly. “Slowly.”
“Sorry honey, sorry Daddy. Daddy’s too excited.”
Suri thinned her lips, after taking a deep breath slowly Suri told her that at the beginning she was visited by Osbert’s men who gave her drugs while waiting for Asher who was buying food for her until finally the next day she woke up in a hotel in Zurich with a cloth gagged at her mouth and her hands and feet tied on a big hotel bed.
Jack almost threw all the glasses and plates in front of him when he heard Suri’s words, his blood boiled when he knew there was a jerk who almost made his daughter, the daughter of a Jackson Clarke who had great power.
However, Anne seems to be looking at different things, Anne looks more determined and ready than Jack. Anne, who has had so many bad images that have been floating around in her head for years, seems to be able to accept the explanation that Suri just said well.
“Do you know the person who saved you from this guy named Osbert and Yamada, dear?” asked Anne quietly, trying to hide her nervousness.
Siri nodded slowly. “I don’t know, she covered her face with a mask while interacting with me until finally I was arrested by the person who had taken me away from the hotel because she was thought to be a hitman hired to kill her.”
Jack immediately grabbed Suri’s hand quickly. “Wait, so you’re saying that after you got rid of the guy who sold the girls you got caught by someone else, huh? People who think you’re a hitman, do you?”
Siri nodded slowly. “Yes, Dad and I don’t know who she is, because after that I was taken to a place far from residential areas. I was not allowed to go out or interact with anyone, not even the servants who were in that place were allowed to use cell phones. Because That’s why I couldn’t contact all of you until I finally had the chance to go out and be able to borrow someone else’s cell phone to call my brother.”
“Oh Jesus,” Anne immediately hugged Suri tightly. “Thank you for protecting and looking after my daughter.”
Suri pursed her lips hearing her mother’s words, there was a little guilt in her for not telling the truth about Areez. Suri doesn’t know why she hides Areez from her parents. The only thing on Suri’s mind right now was not wanting to mention Areez to her parents.
Jack, who was already very curious about Osbert, suddenly got up and left the dining table. What he wanted to do now was find out about Osbert the Angel Hunter mentioned by Suri.
“Erick, Nick.” Jack talks to his two personal assistants live via video call. “Come to my house right now, we have important work to do as soon as possible. I want you to find out about a disgusting organization that has kidnapped my daughter. I want to destroy all of those involved in that disgusting organization.” Jack’s voice sounded heavy, it was obvious that at this time Jack was holding back such great anger.
