Love Worth Fighting For

Chapter 30: Sadness

Christian just released his hand from Elena’s arm when they arrived in front of Elena’s room, Christian violently pushed Elena to his bedroom door. Holding the girl’s shoulders with both hands.

“Next time use your eyes to see the situation,” Christian says coldly. “Don’t embarrass me anymore.”

Without waiting for Elena’s reaction, Christian immediately released the grip on Elena’s shoulders and left her just like that to her room which was right in front of Elena’s room. Kainer who was standing not far from Elena’s room took a deep breath, she slowly stepped closer to Elena.

“What exactly have you been doing, Elena?”

“I accidentally bumped into that person, Kainer,” Elena said quietly. “I also didn’t carry anything in my hand, for some reason the man suddenly took off the coat he was wearing and started cursing at me even though I already apologized to him.”

Kainer raised one eyebrow. “You apologized and the guy is still angry like that?”

Elena nodded slowly, the wine still remaining in her head dripped down her shirt. Seeing how messed up Elena was right now, Kainer decided to end the conversation.

.....

“Okay now you go to your room and clean yourself up, you’re a complete mess, Elena.”

Elena’s cheeks reddened hearing Kainer’s words, tonight Elena really succeeded in becoming the laughing stock of many people. Not daring to lift her face, Elena turned her body and pressed her room key on the sensor. As she was about to enter, Kainer suddenly held the door to her room.

“What else?” asked Elena quietly.

“Do you remember what that guy’s name was?”

Elena frowned, trying to remember the name of the man who had just humiliated her. It was really hard, considering how rude the man was. The way he spoke didn’t really show that he was angry with a woman.

“If you don’t remember, don’t force yourself, Elena. I just...”

“Areez.” Elena cut off Kainer’s words. “Just now the man with glasses standing behind the grumpy man called him Areez.”

Kainer’s eyebrows rose. “Areez.”

Elena nodded slowly. “Yeah, that’s all I remember.”

Kainer’s lips thinned. “Okay then, you can rest, Elena. But, before that you have to clean your body first. You really look...”

“Disgusting?”

Kainer immediately moved her hands together, panicking. “No, who said? You’re still beautiful even though you’re a little messy, but believe me Elena, right now you...”

“Thank you Kainer, thank you for still comforting me,” Elena said hoarsely cutting Kainer’s words with tears already gathering in her eyes. “I’m in now, good night.”

Kainer didn’t say anything, he was still staring at the door of Elena’s room which had just been closed right in front of her eyes. Kainer didn’t mean to injure Elena, knowing that he couldn’t do anything, he decided to go back to his room. Today has really been a long tiring day.

As soon as she violently closed the door to her room, Elena didn’t go straight to the bathroom. She was still standing behind the newly closed door with her head down, Elena could clearly see drops of wine falling from her long hair which now resembled a mop. Sticky and very smelly, it was fitting that Christian had previously called it a mess. Elena’s chest felt very tight.

After feeling better, Elena then dragged her steps towards the bathroom. When she reached the large mirror, Elena stopped her steps. Her brown eyes stared blankly at the glass which showed her messy state. Humiliated in public tonight will be an unforgettable night for Elena.

Using both hands, Elena wiped the tears that had just flowed down her slightly pale face. Luckily, Elena used waterproof make-up, otherwise the situation might have been even more chaotic than it is now because the make-up faded. As she was about to step into the shower, Elena accidentally saw a pair of scissors near a pile of clean towels prepared by the hotel staff. Without thinking Elena immediately grabbed the scissors and took her to the shower, Elena let her whole body wet with warm water that fell like rain from the shower above her.

Elena, who was still looking down, could clearly see the remnants of the wine sticking to her body being swept away by the water. As soon as she felt her hair clean from the expensive wine that Areez poured on her, Elena slowly raised her hand holding the scissors into the air. Elena was silent for a while before finally saying, “I’m sorry Mom, Dad.”

Areez Mansion, Auckland.

“Miss...Miss Mira..wake up Miss..”

“Miss Mira...”

It’s been almost ten minutes the voices of the maids in front of Suri’s room trying to wake up Suri who hadn’t actually slept. The first night without Areez made Suri happy. That’s why since the afternoon she decorated her nails with various colored paints alone without anyone’s help.

“Miss...”

Suri’s eyebrows rose, her patience running out. After throwing the pillow at the end of the bed, Suri immediately got up from the big bed and immediately walked towards the door.

“What else? Can’t I feel peace in this house?” shouted Suri loudly right in front of the four maids whose faces looked pale.

One of the oldest maids stepped forward, approaching Suri. “M-Mr Areez would like to speak to you, Miss.” With slightly shaking hands the maid lifted a rectangular object with the logo of a bitten apple. A cell phone!

Suri’s eyes lit up, looking happy. After three years, the opportunity finally came, but before Suri had time to take the cellphone, a man’s coughing sound came from the cell phone that the maid was holding. When Suri tried to look more carefully suddenly heard laughter from the cellphone, the laughter of a man who Suri really hated, Areez Floyen. The heartless monster who had locked her up for years for no apparent reason.

“Don’t expect too much, Mira. As soon as I finish talking to you, the cell phone won’t work because I’ve already set it up from here,” Areez said loudly from the cell phone that was still in the maid’s hand.

Suri narrowed her eyes, silent without doing anything until suddenly Suri grabbed the black cell phone from the waiter’s hand.

“I hate you Areez Floyen, you better go and don’t show your face in front of me again! Go you to the ends of the world befriend penguins and plankton in the north pole.” Because Suri was too angry to speak wrongly, penguins live at the south pole, not at the north pole.

Prank...

Suri slammed the phone on the floor full of emotion, in an instant the expensive phone looked like trash because it couldn’t be used anymore. Suri’s chest heaved up and down, showing how angry she was at the moment. Areez, even though the man is not beside her but still he can still make her so angry.

“Go you guys and don’t bother me until tomorrow,” Suri snapped loudly at the innocent maid. “If that polar bear calls me again tomorrow, tell him I’m dead!”

“Miss..”

“Don’t talk like that Miss, it’s not good.”

Suri’s cheeks turned red, her heart beat faster. No, she couldn’t die now. She had to go home to meet her family in Geneva, Suri was sure at this time her mother must be suffering a lot because of her.

“Miss...”

“Go!! Get out of my sight and don’t bother me anymore!” Suri screamed again with tears already flowing from her blue eyes. Every time she remembered her mother at Suri’s house, she would cry. Suri really misses her mother, a graceful woman who has bequeathed her extraordinary beauty. The beauty that made her imprisoned in the power of Areez Floyen.

Without being ordered twice the servants immediately left in front of Suri, after no one was near Suri dropped her body to the floor. Letting her tears flow freely, Suri cried loudly in the middle of a tense night in the cold Areez mansion like its owner who has no conscience.
