188 The last night
Even though his conversation with his mother had ended two hours ago, Christian was still disturbed. There was a lump in his chest now.
“If you want, we can leave tonight, sir. So you can witness firsthand how the people from the entertainment star work,” said Kainer quietly when he was about to end his conversation with Christian who was discussing the jewelry exhibition event from the Clarke house of Jewel in New York next week.
Christian shakes his head. “No, not tonight. Too soon.”
“How about the day after tomorrow, sir?”
“No, we’re leaving tomorrow morning. Tonight I want to come to the villa, give a message to Romaria and the other maids to take good care of Elena. That woman fainted yesterday, I don’t want her to die in a hurry.”
“E..elana fainted?” Kainer repeated Christian’s words in complete shock.
“That’s what Romaria said,”
“Wouldn’t it be better if you took her to the hospital for a more detailed examination, sir?”
Christian shakes his head. “No need, she’s fine. Doctor Roggy didn’t give her an IV either, she was just acting.”
.....
Kainer swallowed his saliva.
“Now we better finish all our work first, I don’t want any problems while we are in America,” Christian said again.
“Yes sir,” Kainer replied quickly, as fast as he could as he sat back down in his chair.
Seconds later, the room is quiet again as Christian and Kainer return to focus on their work again. During Christian’s work several times Kainer glanced at his master, Kainer felt that Christian had changed. The man who easily smiled when he was with Elena was no longer there, replaced by a cold figure who was completely untouchable. The fact that shows Elena’s involvement in Suri’s kidnapping really makes Christian very disappointed.
“Ok, that’s enough for today. We can go home now,” Christian says quietly when all the work is done.
“Would you like me to take you to the villa, sir?”
Christian shakes his head. “No, you prepare me for our needs for the next four days in New York.”
“Okay young master, tomorrow morning I will pick you up at seven in the morning.”
“Okay.”
After turning off all the lights and locking the door, Kainer then ran towards the elevator following Christian who had arrived in front of the elevator. The office was very quiet when the two of them got into the elevator, just like the last few days.
Once the elevator reaches the basement, Kainer leads Christian to a metallic black Range Rover parked in the front. A parking lot that no one but Christian can use.
“Be careful on the roads young master,” says Kainer quietly as Christian finishes fastening his seatbelt.
“You too.”
Because it was too late, Christian then drove his car at high speed to the villa where Elena was. Going away for a week makes Christian intend to satisfy his desire for Elena to his heart’s content tonight, that’s why Christian refuses Kainer’s offer to take him to the villa.
After twenty minutes, Christian’s black Range Rover finally arrived at the villa. Several guards who were very familiar with bulletproof cars immediately ran to their master.
“Welcome, sir.” Ten guards give Christian greetings simultaneously with their heads down.
“Night,” Christian replies curtly. “Oh yeah, did that woman get into trouble today?”
A guard standing right beside Cristian immediately raised his head up. “No sir, Miss Elena today didn’t even come out of the villa like she usually does.”
“Not out of the villa?”
“Yes sir.”
Christian, who at first just wanted to make small talk, finally interrogated the guards with some questions about Elena, although Romaria would not lie but Christian felt that he needed additional information from the guards.
As long as the men of Kainer’s age were talking, Christian didn’t open his mouth at all and chose to be a good listener.
“That’s all we can say, sir. As for Miss Elena’s other activities in the villa, we don’t know, sorry.”
Christian smiles. “It’s ok, I can ask Romaria later and thank you for the information. I hope you guys continue to do well during my absence, remember you have a huge responsibility here.”
“We understand, young master.” The guards standing before Christian answered in unison.
Because he couldn’t wait to meet Elena, Christian then continued his steps into the villa. Several maids standing at the door immediately greeted him politely.
“I didn’t see Romaria,” Christian said quietly as soon as he realized that Romaria didn’t accompany him along with the four maids who were standing in front of him.
“Romaria is in the room with Miss Elena, sir.”
Christian frowns. “Together with Elena, she didn’t cause any trouble today, did she?”
“No sir, Miss Elena didn’t even come out of the room today,” replied the head chef quickly.
“Is she still sick?”
“No sir, Miss Elena is fine.”
Christian was silent for a few seconds before finally deciding to go up to the second floor to meet Elena, Christian was curious about the condition of his ex-lover. Christian, who is already so angry with Elena, now only sees the woman as a former lover. Despite the fact that until now, Elena is the only woman who warms Christian’s bed.
Arriving in the room in front of Elena’s room whose door was open, Christian didn’t go straight in. He stood still trying to listen to Elena and Romania’s conversation. Even though according to the servants, Elena is currently fine, Christian wants to confirm it himself. He had to know whether the servants were telling the truth or not.
“Is there anything else I can help you with, Miss?” asked Romaria softly, since taking the contraceptive pill this morning, Elena doesn’t want to talk at all and this worries Romaria.
Elena shook her head. “No, I don’t need anything. I want to sleep.”
“Well then, I will leave you,” said Romaria softly. “If you need anything you can call me, Miss.”
“Okay.”
Romana smiled. “Good night and have a good rest, Miss.”
“Thank you Ro...”
Elena stopped her speech when the corner of her eye caught the figure of the man she really didn’t want to see, the man who had broken her heart countless times.
Seeing Elena so shocked made Romaria confused, she didn’t understand why suddenly the young girl whom she had served for almost one six five weeks looked so frightened. Romaria slowly turned her body, looking behind her, at the direction Elena was looking at. Romaria almost screamed when she saw Christian who was standing a meter from where she was standing.
“Y..young master...”
“Come out Romaria, I want to have a one-on-one talk with Elena.”
Elena immediately gripped the edge of the blanket that was wrapped around her as soon as Christian stopped talking, her eyes filled with tears again as she remembered what Christian had done to her.
