Love Worth Fighting For

266 Suri’s future husband

“What punishment?”

Asher pursed his lips. “You don’t need to know, for sure this punishment will be able to make this jerk suffer.”

“But...”

“Get out Nick, I’ll take care of this bastard.” Asher forcefully chased Nicholas and his men out of the interrogation area.

Seeing how serious Asher made Nicholas relent, by giving nonverbal codes to his four subordinates Nicholas then left Asher alone with Areesz in the five-by-five meter interrogation room. Asher still locked his lips tightly for a few minutes, he was still enjoying Areez’s pain that seemed so real. The lashes left on his body looked so torturous.

“What you are feeling right now has nothing to do with all the pain and sorrow your family has felt over the years for your barbaric act, Areez.” Asher spoke curtly to Areez, his brown eyes staring all over Areez’s body which was now bleeding from the lashes given by Nicholas’ men.

Areez smiled a little. “I am guilty and selfish, but I am a responsible person.”

“Responsibility? Not wrong?Can you say you are responsible, huh?”

“I was responsible and took good care of Suri while she was in my power in Auckland, I gave all the best for her from food, clothes and education. I always asked my assistant to serve Suri as well as a princess, when she returned to Geneva I was also by her side when she was at her worst...”

.....

“The trauma that Suri got was because of you, you bastard!” Asher interrupted Areez’s words. loudly, hearing Areez so proud of himself for what he had done to Suri made Asher’s ears heat up. “You are the one who has made Suri get such deep trauma, then how can you call yourself a hero after what you have done to her?” , huh!”

“Just so you know, I had absolutely no idea that Suri was the victim of a kidnapping in the first place. I really thought she was a spy sent by my business rival, which is why I brought her back to Auckland to investigate further. So you can’t blame me for the trauma that Suri got, Suri’s fear is on the kidnappers who intend to sell her, not me, the people who have taken good care of her,” Areez said loudly, he balked at being called the cause of Suri’s trauma.

Asher immediately clenched his fists, the self-defense that Areez had just said made his emotions rise. “You are really good at talking Areez, it’s only natural that Suri can do this. You must have been such a bad influence on him that he prefers to protect an asshole like you.”

“From the very beginning when I found out that Suri was Jackson Clarke’s daughter I wanted to confess to her, but Suri forbade me. She said she wasn’t ready to tell everything to her family, that’s why I...”

Areez’s words were interrupted by the punch that Asher threw at him. Areez, who wasn’t ready to get hit like that, looked so painful. The blow that Asher gave was so strong that it made him choke.

“Don’t use Suri as a shield, Suri couldn’t possibly do something that low. Suri is a girl who was educated with high discipline, she has a very graceful attitude and what you just said is the complete opposite of what Suri is,” Asher said loudly right in front of Areez’s face which was bruised in several places.

Areez spat blood splattered on the floor, the blow that Asher had just given to the solar plexus forced him to spit out the blood-tinged liquid that had gathered in his mouth. With lips that still had traces of blood Areez said, “I never lie, what I just said was fact. Although it sounds strange but that’s what happened, Suri asked me to hold back and not confess to her family for a while. Suri wants to find the right time to tell everything to her parents and Christian. But apparently God said otherwise, God wants the Clarke family to know sooner than what we had previously planned.”

“Don’t take God, with your dirty mouth you have no right to mention God’s name. You’re too low to be able to carry the name of God,” Asher said curtly, talking to Areez really made him lose control. “You may continue to use Suri as a shield for the crimes you’ve committed, but we all wouldn’t believe that. Suri we know is not someone who would do such a lowly thing for her own sake, so stop talking nonsense because none of us will believe what you say, Areez.”

Areez pursed her lips. “You can ask Suri directly if you don’t believe me, ask her if I’m lying or not.”

“Only a fool will do what you ask Areez,” Asher replied curtly. “From now on you better stay away from Suri, you really are a bad influence on her. I don’t know what you did to her for three years in Auckland until Suri finally chose to defend a criminal like you.”

The smile on Areez’s face disappeared instantly. “You have no right to stop me from meeting Suri, Suri and I have a long relationship more serious than you think.”

“Oh yeah? Who gave you permission to be close to Suri? Nothing, Areez. We’re all against you being close to her, especially me. I will be the first person who will prevent you from getting close to Suri again.”

“You can’t do that, you son of a bitch!” shouted Areez loudly, starting to provoke Asher’s provocation.

Instead of getting angry at being called an adopted child, Asher laughed. He laughed out loud at Areez’s words. He looked so happy to hear Areez’s words.

“Of course I can do that, especially if I’m going to make Suri my wife.”

“Fuck, no! You can’t do that?!”

“Can’t you? Why can’t I? Aren’t Suri and I not related by blood, huh? Am I not the adopted son of the Clarke family as you just said? So there is no reason that can stop me from marrying Suri.”

Areez who was chained to the wall trying to reach Asher who was two meters away from him, Areez was so angry at what Asher said.

“And as Suri’s future husband, I have full rights to forbid my future wife to be close to any man including you,”

“No, you will be able to snatch Suri from me. Suri is mine!” Areez said loudly.

Asher burst out laughing. “Oh yeah? Want to bet?”
