Love Worth Fighting For

111 Provocateur

“It seems that this time the young master has managed to find his happiness,” said Jorge in his heart. “And it is time for you to be happy with your life, young master.”

Lake Geneva, Swiss

“It’s ok, Suri. This is a place we used to visit often, you don’t have to worry. After all, there are bodyguards guarding us at this time,” Asher said softly to Suri who still didn’t want to get out of the car, even though they had arrived twenty minutes ago on the shores of lake Geneva, one of Suri’s favorite places to skate with Asher five years ago.

Suri looked around from the car, trying to observe the situation around Lake Geneva, which was still very busy even though it was already getting late.

“Aunty and Uncle are also here, Suri,” said Asher again.

“Mommy and Daddy, what are they doing here? There’s no way Mommy just wants to feed the geese in the lake, right?”

Asher chuckled amused at Suri’s words, as someone who has lived with the Clarke family since childhood, Asher knows that Anne’s habit of feeding wild geese in the lake continues to this day.

“Uncle is having a business meeting, the wife of Uncle Jack’s new business partner really likes this place that’s why Aunty and Uncle invited them to have dinner at a restaurant around the lake, Suri,” replied Asher smiling as he continued to caress Suri’s hand, gripped it tightly.

“Oh I see.”

.....

“Yeah, so you’ll be fine now. And believe me Suri, I won’t make the same mistake a second time. I swear I won’t leave you,” Asher said seriously. “I’d rather die if I have to leave you.”

Suri immediately tightened her grip on Asher’s hand firmly. “Don’t talk about death, I don’t like hearing that. Come on, let’s go downstairs, I want to take a short walk by the lake and then we’ll find Mommy and Daddy, okay?”

“As your wish, princess,” Asher said loudly.

Suri laughed amused at the behavior of her brother, who she had just met again. After being sure that everything would be fine, finally Suri slowly got out of the car following Asher who had gotten off and was waiting for her outside the car with a smile that did not disappear from his face.

Asher immediately grabbed Suri’s hand and held it tightly as soon as Suri actually got out of the car, the two of them then immediately walked towards the stairs to the lake which was not so crowded. Because previously Johan, Asher’s assistant who always accompanied Asher wherever he went, had bought food for the geese, Suri and Asher immediately rushed to the lake to feed the geese that were gathering on the shores of the lake.

Being able to return to one of her favorite places, Suri’s mood immediately changed drastically. As if she had never been traumatized, Suri cheerfully threw the food in her hands to the geese that were now approaching her. Suri’s laughter was so cheerful that it could be heard clearly in Asher’s ears, who was standing three meters from where Suri was currently.

“I’m curious,” Johan whispered quietly.

“Curious what?”

“About the kidnapping of Suri,” Johan answered flatly.

Asher who was looking at Suri immediately turned to Johan quickly. “Watch your words, Johan! Don’t talk about it here, we’re in a public place!”

“I know, that’s why I speak in such a low voice,” Johan answered evasively.

“Well, don’t talk about it anymore. My sister is fine now,” Asher said curtly.

Johan smirked, he looked happy to see Asher’s expression start to get provoked. “I’m not discussing the incident, I just wanted to share my thoughts with you right now.”

“About what?”

“Three years ago Suri disappeared, without a trace, without news, without information. We have mobilized all the best detectives to search for her throughout the country and abroad and it feels very strange if suddenly Christian can find Suri in Auckland, considering that Christian has been on the loose all this time. With this incident, it seems very impossible if Christian managed to find Suri that easily,” said Johan slyly, starting to fire again at Asher over his tension with Christian.

Asher, who doesn’t like Christian being badmouthed, grabs Johan’s collar roughly and pulls him closer. “I warn you, Johan...Christian is my brother, he is also Suri’s older brother. It’s definitely impossible for a Christian to do such a lowly thing, Christian isn’t that crazy by making Suri’s scenario look like he’s been kidnapped. No, Christian isn’t like that. And Even if Christian seems indifferent to Suri’s disappearance for the past three years, I’m sure he won’t just sit there. I know Christian very well.”

Since all the bodyguards were focused on Suri, none of them were aware of the small argument between Asher and Johan right now.

“If you know Christian well then why is he acting like this to you now, Asher? Open your eyes, Asher... you will never be considered by Christian. In Christian’s eyes you are just a parasite who is not expected to be around.”

“Johan!!!” Asher screamed out of control. “Watch your words, don’t you ever dare to speak ill of Christian again in front of me if you still want to work with me.” Asher’s breath was shallow as he spoke, showing great anger. Even though until now Christian still hates him, Asher is not willing if someone vilifies Christian. For Asher, Christian is still his best mentor and brother to this day.

Asher immediately removed his hand from Johan’s collar when he realized that Suri and the bodyguards guarding him turned to look at him after hearing his screams, not wanting Suri to think anything wrong, Asher immediately walked over to Suri’s place and joined her as if nothing had happened.

From where he stood, Johan looked coldly at Asher and Suri who were laughing together. “Wait me, Asher. Slowly I’ll make you hate Christian, I’ll make you destroy the Clarke family.”
