Love Worth Fighting For

97 Possessive

Jack almost broke the glass in his hand when he saw the results of a search for a human trafficking organization involving young girls led by Osbert Wellington, an Argentine citizen who has been in and out of prison for similar cases many times. The lack of evidence and the strength of the money that Osbert has and the people who protect him, make Osbert never languish in prison for long.

“The latest news recorded by Interpol, this man went crazy when he found out he was infected with the HIV/Aids virus, sir. He chose to end his life by smashing his head against the prison wall, after repeatedly trying to kill himself by slicing his wrist,” said Erick quietly. , reading the report he got from one of his connections at Interpol.

“And a man named Yamada who is a regular client of Osbert is now in prison in Tokyo, all his business went bankrupt because all of its shareholders decided to withdraw all their support to him. His entire family even disappeared from the city where they lived in shame after all the evidence of Yamada’s crime was exposed by police.” Nicholas co-reported his findings about Yamada, the person called Suri had bought it from Osbert.

“And all these human sales business networks have been taken seriously by the countries of the UAE, where Osbert has lived for the last ten years while he was running his business.” Erick again explained what had happened to Osbert’s business.

Jack, who was dissatisfied with not being able to vent his anger on Osbert and Yamada, the two people who had a big hand in the kidnapping of Suri, seemed to still want to know more about the two people.

“Then.” Jack started talking again. “Did you manage to find the CCTV and the list of guests who stayed at the hotel Suri mentioned in Zurich for three years?”

“Not yet, sir. All guest manifests and CCTV three years ago that day mysteriously disappeared, even now the IT team at the hotel is trying to find them,” Erick answered carefully, he was afraid to disappoint Jack, who still looked dissatisfied with their work.

Jack immediately closed his eyes tightly, he was trying his best not to get angry. Jack didn’t want to be angry with innocent people.

“It seems that the person who has helped Miss Suri is not an ordinary person, sir. And I believe she is also the one behind the disappearance of the guest list and CCTV at the hotel,” said Nicholas suddenly.

.....

Jack and Erick turned their heads to Nicholas quickly at the same time.

“Please explain,” said Jack coldly.

Nicholas swallowed his saliva, slowly he then explained what was going through his head carefully to the master. Having better analytical skills than Erick makes Nicholas often give unexpected input to Jack at critical times like this.

“This time I agree with Nick’s words, sir. Only people who have great abilities are able to do all this, those who are not used to doing this will not be able to get rid of all the evidence so neatly and safely,” added Erick slowly, retorting Nicholas’s words.

“The only way to find out who the people who have helped Miss Suri from Osbert is Miss Suri herself, sir. Didn’t Miss Suri not say more specifically the characteristics of the people who had helped her back then, sir?” Nicholas asked curiously.

Jack shook his head slowly. “Suri didn’t say anything except she was a woman who had beautiful eyes and her ability to handle Osbert and Yamada at that time. For the rest Suri didn’t say anything and I decided not to ask Suri further. I’m afraid if I ask for more details Then the fear of Suri coming back...including the people who have kept her locked up in Auckland for years, I dare not ask. I want to wait for Suri to speak directly to me or to Anne.”

Nicholas and Erick nodded at the same time, although not part of the core of the Clarke family but they both knew how hard Jack and Anne had worked to bring Suri back to the way it used to be.

“Tonight Asher is going back to Geneva, sir,” Nicholas said quietly, he had almost forgotten to tell Jack about Asher’s return. As previously assigned by Jack, Asher lived and worked in Portugal for nearly three months overseeing the opening of the new Muller Finance International office in the country. Jack ordered Asher to go directly to the job so that Asher’s ability to manage the company would increase, although it was impossible to match Christian’s already great abilities, Jack hoped that his adopted son could at least be behind Christian. Jack owes such a huge debt to Linda and Paul, that’s why he tries so hard to make Asher a great, independent man. So that when the time came for Asher to build his own family, he could become a great family leader.

Jack took a deep breath. “Delay his return until the day after Suri’s birthday.”

“Yes sir.” Erick and Nicholas answered simultaneously.

Feeling that his business was finished, Jack then left his office to approach Suri and Anne who were still at the dining table to enjoy their dessert. Although his chest still felt tight after knowing how dangerous Osbert was, Jack tried to smile. He didn’t want Suri to find out that he had just found out about what happened three years ago. Jack knows that Suri has gone through difficult times, that’s why he doesn’t want to make Suri feel more depressed if he asks more detailed questions about the incident. His current job is to find out for himself about the person who saved Suri from Osbert. Jack still wants to take revenge on him because he has made Suri have to be stuck in Auckland for years.

***

“You seem to enjoy talking to Mrs. Claire’s assistant,” Christian said coldly in a half whisper to Elena who had just come out of the toilet to fix her makeup after enjoying lunch from Mrs. Claire.

Elena smiled. “His name is Rusty.”

“To hell with his name, I don’t need to know his name,” Christian replies curtly. “Why? You want to be angry when I talk like this, hm?”

“Christ,” Elena sighed desperately. “We’re at the restaurant, watch your attitude. Don’t offend Mrs. Claire. If you want to be angry, wait until we get home. Even if your anger is not clear.”

“Not clear,” growled Christian in annoyance. “You’re my woman, Elena. Do you deserve that close with another man in front of my eyes, huh?”

Elena gulped, she almost forgot that Christian had a unique personality. “Ok ok, I’m sorry. I’ll keep my distance from him and won’t do it again in the future, so what? Will I get your forgiveness, honey?”

Christian was immediately silent without a word when he heard the word ‘honey’ come out of Elena’s wet lips who were asking for a kiss, Christian was really in torment all day because he couldn’t touch Elena who was near him.

“How? I’ll get your forgiveness, won’t I?” Elena seduced again, seeing the blush on Christian’s face made Elena even more excited to tease him. Elena was playing with the burning embers.

Christian straightens up, the smugness taking over him again. “I’ll think about it later, it all depends on your good attitude today.” After saying that Christian immediately left in front of Elena and returned to the table, where Mrs. Claire and her assistant Rusty were waiting.

Elena shakes her head at her boyfriend’s childish attitude, Christian really looks like a person with multiple personalities. Realizing that she had been away from the toilet for too long, Elena rushed after Christian to join Mrs. Claire and Rusty.

“Sorry,” Elena said quietly as she sat down in the chair that had been left out for nearly fifteen minutes.

“It’s ok, Elena,” Rusty answered quickly with a smile.

“We understand, Elena. Take it easy.” Mrs. Claire chimed in with Rusty’s words.

Elena smiled, she was glad that no more questions were asked of her. Mrs. Claire is so wise. From his seat Christian did not shift his focus to Elena, even though he was talking to Mrs. Claire, but Christian was still able to steal glances at Elena to make sure the girl didn’t repeat the previous mistake by talking to Rusty again. Christian’s possessive level is increasing every day.

“Thank you for your time, Mr. Clarke. I really can’t wait to start our collaborative project,” said Mrs. Claire softly when she finished enjoying the lunch filled with laughter.

Christian smiles. “I am as impatient as you are, madam.”

Elena’s heart beat faster than usual, even though Christian’s words were aimed at Mrs. Claire but Elena knew that Christian also showed those words to her. The wink Christian gives her as soon as she finishes speaking makes Elena sure that Christian will devour her soon. Elena really had to find another way to keep the man from losing her sanity again. This morning Elena had almost lost her sanity because of the touch Christian gave her.

Mrs. Claire gave Elena a hug right after Rusty shook hands with Elena, if it wasn’t for Mrs. Claire, Christian would definitely break Rusty’s hand, who dared to ask Elena to shake hands first. In the future Christian promises to take Rusty seriously when his collaboration with Mrs. Claire begins.

“Give me your hand,” Christian says coldly to Elena as Mrs. Claire’s car is out of their sight.

“My hand?”

“Yes.”

Although still confused by the order Christian gave her, Elena still held out her hand to Christian. “What do you need...”

Elena’s words stopped when Christian immediately cleaned his palms using Christian’s handkerchief that had just been taken out of his pants pocket. As if Elena’s hands had just touched dirt, Christian repeatedly wipes the surface of Elena’s hands, causing Elena’s palms to turn red.

“Christ...”

“Don’t forget to keep hand sanitizer in your bag in the future,” Christian says coldly. “Immediately clean your hands as soon as a man shakes your hand, I don’t want your hands to be infected by germs carried by the person who shakes your hand.”

“Christ...owhhh...”

“Don’t argue, Elena,” Christian growls warningly, as his hand squeezes onto Elena’s ass. “You are my woman, you can only listen to what I have to say. Do you understand?”

“Y..yes, I get it, Christ,” Elena stammers, trying to get Christian’s hands off her buttocks making Elena lose focus for a moment.

Christian smiles broadly. “Good, that’s my girl.”
