61 Crazy
“No way, Asher can’t do that,” Suri said hoarsely with teary eyes, she couldn’t believe all Christian’s words that told Asher’s actions during the last three years in Geneva.
Christian took a deep breath, Suri’s reaction was predictable from the start. Christian’s hand slowly moved, reaching for the cell phone on the table. For a few minutes Christian is seen looking for sothing on his cell phone, his expression darkening when he finds what he’s looking for. “You can see it for yourself if you don’t believe it,” he said softly as he handed his cellphone to Suri. “I’m not a talkative person, Grandpa Luis didn’t teach that.”
Suri who was curious then grabbed Christian’s cellphone. “Brother...”
“Read to the end, Suri,” Christian said quietly forbidding Suri to stop reading.
Suri, who had lifted her face from Christian’s cellphone, shook her head slowly. “Asher can’t do this, Christ.”
Christian pursed his lips, if it wasn’t Suri who spoke now, Christian might have exploded. Christian slowly stroked Suri’s long hair with a smile that continued to tug on his lips. “Read to the end, after that you can draw your own conclusions.”
“But...”
“Nothing is stronger than blood ties, Suri. Didn’t you and I prove it yesterday when we were in Auckland,” Christian says softly.
Suri swallowed her saliva. “Yes, but this is Asher. If it was soone else I would imdiately believe it, but if it was Asher who did all this I doubt it.”
.....
“Read all the files to the end, then analyze yourself. You’re a smart girl, Suri,” Christian said again. “Brother is going to the pantry to get a drink for you.”
Suri did not respond to Christian’s words, her attention turned back to Christian’s cellphone which is currently displaying several files that Kainer found in the last three years at Muller Finance International which show a leak of funds in the finance departnt, the departnt that Asher leads.
Christian who only took water quickly returned to the place where he and Suri were before, Suri who had finished reading looked weak. The look of sadness was clearly visible in her beautiful eyes at this ti.
“Does Daddy know about this?” Suri asked hoarsely at Christian who was sitting beside her.
Christian shakes his head slowly. “Not yet, Daddy doesn’t know yet.”
“Why haven’t you told Daddy yet?”
“For what? To make him hate even more? No Suri, I don’t want to make matters worse by exposing all of Asher’s cunning,” Christian replies quickly, veins popping up in his forehead when he ntions Asher’s na and ntions his relationship with his father has been so bad in the last three years.
Suri fiddled with her fingers quickly. “Is it because of ?”
“What?”
“Am I the cause of the deterioration of Daddy’s relationship with you, brother?”
Christian’s chest feels tight, the question that cos out of his beloved little sister’s lips that sounds so full of sadness makes Christian feel guilty. “No honey, of course not because of you.”
“You’re not lying, are you?”
“How could I lie to you my dear sister, I am the only person who will always speak the truth with you,” Christian replies earnestly, Christian doesn’t realize that he is making Suri even more attached to him.
“Is that true?”
“Yes.”
“So if in the future you already have a lover who will you prioritize?”
Christian chuckles. “Suri...”
“Akhh don’t want to answer. You promised earlier, Christ,” said Suri stubbornly.
“All right, little fox,” Christian imdiately pinched the tip of Suri’s nose in exasperation. “For , for Christian Clarke, Suri Mireya Clarke is number one. Everything that cos out of her lips is obligatory for to do.”
Suri laughed widely, showing a row of white teeth that were so neat.
“Are you satisfied? Or do you want to make it on a stamp, hmm?”
Suri, who was happy, imdiately hugged Christian’s body tightly. “Thank you sis, thank you for looking for endlessly.”
Christian’s eyes returned to heat when he heard Suri’s words that sounded so sincere. “Don’t thank anymore, Suri. You don’t need to talk like that, the important thing is that you’re here now. It’s back to your house.”
Suri tightens her arms on Christian’s big body, which is getting more and more muscular. The sense of peace she feels right now is really so calming. Being in the arms of her brother who always pampers her makes Suri feel calm.
“Christ...”
“Hmm.”
“I’m hungry,” said Suri again without taking her face away from Christian’s chest.
“Hungry, what do you want to eat? Still want pizza?”
On Christian’s chest, Suri shakes her head slowly. “No, I want sothing else.”
“Other food, what do you want to eat?”
Suri imdiately lifts her head from Christian’s chest and looks at him expectantly. “I want to eat sushi...”
“Sushi?”
“Yes, sushi...but eat right away,” added Suri quickly.
“Japan, you want to eat sushi in Japan?”
Without guilt, Suri imdiately nodded her head excitedly. “Isn’t all that food the best when you eat it where it ca from, huh?”
Christian did not imdiately agree to Suri’s request, currently there are still many things he has to do before letting Suri return to being in a public place. Recalling how Suri went missing three years ago makes Christian still afraid, especially now that he doesn’t know the overall condition of Suri’s health. There are still so checks to be done at the hospital, Christian wants to make sure that Suri’s body is not embedded with any tracking devices.
“You just got ho last night, honey. Aren’t you tired?”
Suri shook her head quickly. “I’ve slept a lot, Christ. I’m still fresh, my energy is still full.”
“Kainer and the others are resting at the mont, and so is our private pilot. We can’t just go out alone, honey. You have to go to the hospital tomorrow morning for a check-up with Dr. Pauline anyway.”
Suri imdiately pursed her lips, looking so angry and annoyed.
“Tell you what, tomorrow after all the inspections are finished we will leave imdiately, okay. I also have to prepare everything before we leave, Suri.”
“Promise, tomorrow afternoon!”
Christian smiles. “Yes dear, tomorrow afternoon we leave for Japan. Now you better sleep, the sun is almost out.”
Siri nodded slowly. “How about you?”
“I have to finish so work first, after that I’m going to bed,” Christian replies softly as he ruffles Suri’s hair excitedly.
“I sleep in your room,” said Suri suddenly.
Christian’s eyebrows imdiately shot up. “Sleep in my room? Are you serious? Your room has been prepared by Jorge since...”
“Hmmm no, I want to sleep in my brother’s room,” said Suri stubbornly.
“Ok .. ok ... yes you are up now, yes. Later, I will follow you.”
Suri’s smile imdiately widened, she imdiately got up from the sofa and rushed to the stairs to sleep in her brother’s room which beca one of the places for her to relax when she was in Luxembourg.
After Suri is out of sight, Christian rushes to his study which is currently tightly closed. Only Christian and Kainer and Jorge could enter the room. The maids who were going to clean the place had to report to Jorge first.
Arriving at his desk, Christian imdiately opened his laptop and started work. Currently, Christian is sending a new assignnt to all of his subordinates, related to Suri’s request to go to Japan to eat sushi.
“I have to make sure everything is safe before Suri leaves.”
***
Floyen Mansion.
Twenty-four hours have almost passed and no sign of Suri’s whereabouts has been found, Areez who is so angry at this ti can only silently stare at the living room of his house that is no longer in shape. Rare jars worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, glass ornants given to him by so of his co-workers and paintings from the ancestors of the Floyen family are also out of shape on the marble floor.
No one dared to stop Areez from destroying those things when he was angry, losing Suri when he was alone with her made Areez really crazy. Everything that was near him was now out of shape, even his hands were now bleeding from the previous beating on the wall to vent his carelessness.
Areez was so caught up in Suri’s sudden change in attitude that he let his guard down and the thing he feared the most, Suri disappeared and escaped his grip. With a breath that was still short after destroying the crystal table that was near the painting of the two people, Areez sat with his head down.
“Areez...”
Areez didn’t answer Aldrich’s call, he was still too deep in his own anger.
Aldrich sighed, always there when Areez was experiencing the worst tis in his life, making Aldrich not surprised if he saw that the room in front of him was no longer ford.
“You need rest, Areez,” Aldrich said again.
Areez turned his face slowly towards Aldrich who was standing a ter away from him. “My fear has finally co true, Aldrich. Mira is out of my reach.” Areez’s voice sounded so sad when he spoke.
Alfred took a deep breath. “Patience, your people are still working. We’ll wait for the results, I’m sure we can find Mira.”
“No, I’m sure Mira must have gone very far by now. She is a smart girl, her desire to get away from is so strong and never goes away,” Areez said quietly.
“Areez...”
“Am I wrong if I force her to stay by my side, Aldrich? Am I wrong if I want to make her mine alone?”
As soone who knows how Areez’s love story was before, Aldrich really understands why Areez wants to have Suri for himself. Aldrich also knows what is the main reason for all the crazy actions Areez has done over the past three years to keep Suri by his side.
“What can I do if Mira is not by my side, Aldrich? I can’t think clearly right now.”
Aldrich moistened his dry lips with his tongue. “Let go of Mira, Aldrich. Let her go...if you are really ant to be, you will surely et again in a much better way at the right ti. If our people don’t find her right now, then that’s the only way to go. what you can do is let Mira go for a while.”
