“Ouuchhh ..”

Christian moans of pain sounded quite loud when Zwetta threw a punch at the man’s solar plexus just as Christian stood in front of her as he was about to help Zwetta get out of the car.

Zwetta folded her arms across her chest. “Feel it, that punch should have landed on your body since we were in Paris!”

Christian lifts his head up, towards Zwetta who is also looking at him. For a few seconds Christian does not say, he prefers to neutralize the pain that is so suffocating in his stomach.

After three minutes had passed, Christian was finally able to stand back up. Even though he just received a painful blow, Christian doesn’t look angry. He looked so calm, as if nothing had happened.

“Still want to vent more emotions?” Christian asks quietly. “Please hit again if that calms you down.”

Zwetta rolled her eyes. embarrassed. “Damn you weirdo!”

“I told you before, didn’t I? I would do anything to correct the wrong I’ve done, so if you feel better after hitting me then do it. I won’t stop you or retaliate against you,” Christian says wisely, his eyes looking at Zwetta with love.

“I’m not the girl you used to date before, Christ! So stop sweet-talking me, because it won’t have any effect on me,” Zwetta said curtly, as her gaze flickered at Christian.

.....

Even though she couldn’t remember all the bad things Christian had done to her, Zwetta was already so angry with him. The real anger confused Zwetta herself, she didn’t understand why she had so much anger towards Christian. It’s clear what happened to them in Paris yesterday was not an act of coercion, they both had a consensual relationship, not coercion with a gun or anything like that.

Then why should Zwetta be angry? Even though the memory is clearly closed. Zwetta remembers absolutely nothing about Christian and the husband and wife who made her their child.

“I’m serious with what I said, Zee. I’m willing to be an outlet for your anger,” Christian said again, Christian trying his best to restrain himself from hugging Zwetta again at this time. Seeing Zwetta’s face that was staring at him full of hatred made his chest feel tight.

Zwetta waved her hand in the air, dismissing Christian’s words. “Don’t talk too much, come on in. I’m already hungry and want to eat.”

“Zee...”

“Wasn’t your intention in the first place to invite me to this place because you wanted to eat, huh?” Zwetta cut Christian’s words firmly. “If it doesn’t, then I’ll just go!”

Christian immediately grabbed Zwetta’s hand and gripped it tightly. “Where are you going?”

“Go!”

“We’re at the restaurant and you want to go? Where are you going?”

Zwetta locked her lips, not answering Christian’s question that sounded so soft when it entered her ear.

“Let’s go in, looks like the room I asked for has been prepared,” Christian says again.

Zwetta narrowed her eyes. “Room, what room do you mean?”

Christian smiled a little, as a grown man who had a lot of experience immediately understood where Zwetta’s question was headed.

Christian caresses Zwetta’s short hair affectionately. “The room I’m talking about right now is a room where we can eat with utmost privacy, not the kind of room we used to make love until morning.”

“Christ...”

“Don’t be mad we’re out in public.” Christian immediately grabbed Zwetta’s hand and led her to walk towards the special door of the restaurant which could only be passed by those special guests such as Christian who had made a reservation beforehand. “You wouldn’t want Robin Jones’ men to find you, would you?”

Zwetta’s steps immediately stopped. “Y..you know that Robin’s men have arrived in Luxembourg?”

“Of course I know, this city is mine. It’s easy for me to get that kind of information, especially if it’s related to you, who is currently the highest priority in my life.” Christian’s smile instantly creeps onto his handsome face when he finishes speaking. “I’d do anything to prevent Robin Jones from using you again, Zee. You’re too valuable to do such menial work.”

Damn Christian!

Every word the man spoke made Zwetta lose the ability to speak.

“So let’s go inside, from now on you have to try to cover your whereabouts as closely as possible when you’re outside. That damn Robin Jones sent more than ten rats to Luxembourg to look for you,” Christian says annoyed.

“T..ten people? Robin sent ten people to take me home?”

Christian nods slowly. “Yeah but you don’t have to be afraid, right now I have deployed my best hunting cat to keep an eye on those damn sewer rats. Before they find you or report their findings in this city to their masters, they will surely die immediately.”

“Christian, you can’t do that! You can’t kill innocent people, they’re just doing their job and...”

“I’ll do whatever it takes to protect the people I love, Zee. I don’t want to lose you again,” Christian said. assertive. “So don’t tell me if you ask me to forgive them, since they accepted the task that Robin Jones gave them, they have been my target since then.”

Charlotte continues to throw the stone in her hand into the lake, after Christian’s left two hours ago Charlotte is alone in the backyard of Clarke’s mansion which has a fairly large private lake. Charlotte vented her emotions in that place alone.

Various questions appeared in her head at this time, even though she had listened to the discussion about Elena and Zwetta who turned out to be the same person, Charlotte was still so confused. She didn’t understand why Zwetta suddenly appeared, the girl she thought had disappeared from Christian’s life reappeared with a different identity and this made Charlotte very angry.

“How long are you going to punish the innocent fish in that lake, Miss Lloyd?”

Charlotte straightened up, slowly turning her head towards the source of the voice that came from behind her.

Not far from where Charlotte is currently standing, Johan is seen walking quietly, the bespectacled man’s smile adorning his pale face.

“Go! I don’t want to be bothered!” Charlotte said curtly once Johan had stopped walking beside her.

Johan removed his glasses from above his nose. “Why are you still so mean to me, Miss? Even though I haven’t done anything to harm you at all.”

“Your presence at this time has already taken a toll on my peace of mind,” Charlotte said with emotion. “So hurry up because I don’t want to talk to you, don’t make my mood worse.”

“Do you still want to refuse the cooperation offer I gave you earlier, Miss?”

“The offer I gave you is still valid today, Miss.” Johan continues to launch his attacks on Charlotte.

Johan, who inherited Edmund’s cunning, was so good at reading the opportunities that appeared before his eyes. Seeing the flames of jealousy burning from Charlotte’s body made Johan decide to approach the haughty girl again.

“I don’t understand what you mean.”

Johan grinned widely at Charlotte’s words. “I may not be smart in some ways, but I’m very sensitive to a woman who is heartbroken.”

“I’m not heartbroken!!”

Binggo.

The bait that was installed by Johan was right on target.

“Oh so you don’t like Christian?” asked John pretending to be stupid. “Then what is all the attention and sweetness you give him? It’s impossible if you only think of Christian as friends, right?”

Charlotte bit her lower lip hard. Question after question that Johan gave so bothered her.

“How long are you going to be stuck in an unhealthy relationship like this, Miss?”

“What do you mean?!”

Johan put his glasses back on. “Everyone in the office already knows that you have such sincere feelings for Christian, including me. So don’t pretend anymore, Miss. You knew from the start where I was talking.”

Charlotte squeezes her fingers tightly, being reminded again of her unrestricted feelings for Christian makes her even more irritated.

“That’s why I offer you cooperation, a collaboration that will greatly benefit you,” added Johan again.

“It would be of great benefit to me, what does that mean?”

Johan slightly lowered his face towards Charlotte who had a shorter body than him. “Don’t you want to be Mrs Clarke? Then why are you still asking?”

Charlotte tilted her head, trying to digest the words that had just left Johan’s lips. Despite being so arrogant and selfish, Charlotte is very smart. He inherited the best genes of Chester, the father.

“The cooperation I am about to offer you is very beneficial to you, Miss Lloyd. All you need to do is continue to be by Christian’s side as it is now, maintain your position and don’t let any woman take your place. Including that girl named Zwetta, because to be honest you are much more beautiful than that girl you are also more deserving of the title of Mrs Clarke.”

A blush immediately appeared on Charlotte’s face, hearing the praise given by Johan made her so flowery. The anger that had gripped her since Christian’s departure vanished in an instant.

“Can you really give up the man you’ve been waiting for all these years for another woman?”

“W..what?”
