290 Connected to each other

Floyen Mansion, Auckland.

Even though Areez has returned to Auckland, Areez still hasn’t been able to get Suri’s name out of his head, recalling his last meeting with Suri which ended badly made Areez so uneasy.

“How long are you going to continue like that?” Aldrich, who couldn’t wait to see Areez, continued to stare at the beautiful photo of Suri in the figure. “You have a lot of work to take care of, Areez!”

Ares took a deep breath. “I still haven’t been able to contact Suri until now, Aldrich. I’m afraid her family will know if Suri comes back to help me, I’m afraid Suri will become the target of Christian’s anger.”

Aldrich put his smart tablet on the table and walked over to Areez who was still sitting behind his desk.

“Christian would not have hurt Suri, even though they were siblings. No matter how angry that man was, he would not be able to land his hands on his sister’s body. Likewise with Jackson Clarke, Suri was his favorite child, the child he was so eagerly waiting for after they were born. lost a baby girl who was born prematurely due to an accident. So get rid of your fears, Suri must be fine now,” said Aldrich seriously, after eight month close to the Clarke family, Aldrich knew the little secrets of the family that he managed to hear from the public. Muller Finance International staff accidentally, including the death of Princess Clarke who was forced to be born prematurely after Marianne Clarke fell in the room.

Areez was silent, his tongue suddenly lost its function. All the words that Aldrich said pierced his chest.

“If you want to fix all your mistakes then look for Elena,” added Aldrich again. “Elena is your only key to getting an apology from Christian and Jackson Clarke.”

“Elena?”

.....

Aldrich nodded. “Yes, Elena is the victim of all this. Not only was she the target of Christian’s anger, Jackson Clarke also made Elena the target of his hatred. That’s why you have to find Elena and bring her to Clarke’s family, that’s the only way for you to gain the family’s trust. I’m sure Suri will also be happy if you manage to find Elena.”

Areez intertwined his fingers on the table, he looked so serious digesting the sentence that Aldrich just said. Areez, who had been told everything by Suri, actually also had a lot of guilt towards Elena.

“That’s the only way for you to get back to Suri, Areez. Even then if you still want to make Suri yours, unless you let Asher get Suri then forget everything I said.”

Areez who was digesting Aldrich’s previous sentence immediately raised his face to his best friend, his two eagle eyes staring intently at Aldrich. Gave him a murderous glare.

“Don’t be angry, I’m telling the truth. Didn’t you say that Asher wanted to marry Suri yourself, did you?”

“But I won’t let that happen, Suri is mine.”

“Therefore your choice is the first, find and bring Elena Wilson to Christian Clarke. I’m sure if you do that they will forgive you. Because to be honest, the only victim here is Elena,” said Aldrich seriously.

Areez’s anger disappears when he is reminded of Elena, he knows that he should be the one who should be the target of Christian and Jackson Clarke’s anger, not Elena. The innocent girl is not only a victim of the father and son’s anger, Elena is also a victim of his selfishness and Suri who deliberately keeps the truth from everyone.

“Elena, where should I look for her? While Christian and Jackson Clarke who have that much power are still having a hard time finding her,” Areez muttered in disbelief.

“Oh Jesus... why are you like this, Areez? Where did the Areez Floyen I used to know go? Crazy Areez Floyen who always has the confidence as high as a Titan? Why are you being as soft as a jellyfish like this, huh?”

“Aldrich White,” Areez growled warningly.

“What I said is true, I’m not talking nonsense. Since you got to know Suri, all your ferocity is gone. The only thing in your head is Suri..Suri.. and Suri. Your world seems to pivot to her and to be honest I’m really sick of seeing you blindly love like this,” said Aldrich without fear. “I really miss that stern and cold-blooded Areez Floyen, I miss that crazy best friend of mine.”

Aldrich’s words again made Areez’s already blazing anger lessen, the string of harsh words slapped Areez many times without pause. Since Suri came, everything has changed. Areez, who vowed never to fall in love again, suddenly has such a strong desire for Suri, that he has been under house arrest for three years. Seeing how hard Suri’s rejection of him made Areez’s spirit of competition sparked until finally the seeds of love appeared so fertile in his heart. One thing that Areez never expected would happen again in his life after the big betrayal that befell him from the woman who became his first love.

“In that case, okay.”

“Okay what?” asked Aldrich, confused.

Areez narrowed his eyes. “We’re looking for Elena Wilson, I have to find her and apologize to her first before taking her to Christian Clarke.”

Christian is still sitting in his car parked in front of the hotel where Zwetta is staying, after a long conversation with Zwetta which ended with Zwetta’s scathing words that left him speechless. But even so, Christian still took Zwetta back to the hotel.

“Are you really unable to forgive me, Elena?” Christian repeats what Zwetta had said an hour ago. “Isn’t there a chance for me to fix everything? Isn’t there a second chance for me to start all over again with you?”

“Luna needs you, dear. She needs her mother’s presence,” Christian’s voice sounded hoarse when he said the name of the princess who still needs intensive supervision by the doctors. “Don’t add to this torment anymore, Elena...I need you.”

From the twelfth floor, Zwetta looked at Christian’s sports car which had been parked in the same place for an hour. Even though she has no relationship with the Wilson family, Zwetta is very angry with Christian and his family for the unfair treatment that Elena and her parents received just because of the unclear words of Suri, the spoiled princess who she had saved from being destroyed.

“Christian...Elena...Suri...Areez..aarrrgghhh why am I thinking about them too? It sucks!! My goal is to take a vacation, is this why I’m thinking about other people’s problems?” Zwetta stomped her feet on the floor hard. “Damn Christian Clarke...”

Not wanting to keep thinking about Christian and the strangers she doesn’t know, Zwetta rushes to the bathroom to freshen up. Even though it was already three o’clock in the morning, Zwetta still decided to take a shower, to refresh her head, which was also feeling dizzy because of other people’s problems.
