Love Worth Fighting For

Chapter 122



122 First night

Interlaken. 11.30 PM

After traveling for two hours and fifty minutes Elena finally arrived at a wooden house located in Interlaken, a city located in the Alps.

“Welcome home,” Christian whispers softly, surprising Elena who is still admiring the building in front of her.

Elena immediately turned to Christian quickly. “Whose house is Christ?”

“Our home.”

“What? Don’t joke, this isn’t funny, Christ!”

Christian chuckles. “I’m not joking, this house is indeed made to live with my wife and children in the future. And since you are my future wife then this is your house too.”

Without waiting for an answer from Elena, Christian then invites Elena into the house that is so well maintained. Before leaving, three hours ago, Christian had contacted the maid guarding the house. Therefore, when Christian and Elena arrived at this time all their needs were ready, starting from fresh food ingredients, drinks, fruit and toiletries, everything was ready. Even the fireplace on the first floor can be used immediately.

Elena has really been made smaller by Christian, all the extravagance Christian has shown over the past few weeks makes Elena feel even more out of proportion to her. The difference with Christian is too far.

.....

“You’re the first to visit this house, Elena,” Christian says again as he puts the bag containing his clean clothes and Elena’s clothes on the sofa.

“First person?”

“Yes.”

“No way, don’t lie to me, Christ. I’m not a kid you can fool easily,” said Elena curtly, doubting Christian’s words.

Christian who was already leaning on the sofa with his arms folded across his chest, smiled a little. “I’m not lying, since the house was completely renovated after I bought it from the former owner, I’ve only come to visit twice. The first time, I came to this house after Daddy and I had a big fight three years ago and the second now.”

“No way, impossible,” Elena said hoarsely.

“What’s impossible? Maybe, because no one knows I have a house in this place. Even Kainer doesn’t know this place,” Christian says back with a proud smile. “I really made this house my secret place, the place I prepared for my future wife..”

Elena shook her head again, although Christian’s words could not be confirmed but Elena was really touched. Elena feels so special to Christian and she still doesn’t feel she deserves all those privileges.

Seeing Elena just standing still makes Christian finally move back, Elena is not the type of girl who would throw herself at a guy even though she’s been given seduction or luxury items and Christian knows that very well. That’s why Christian took the initiative again. Christian stops his steps when he arrives in front of Elena who is covering her mouth with her beautiful hands.

“I’m serious with you, Elena. In what other way do I have to prove all my seriousness to you, hm? Do I have to bring a stone from the moon first so you can believe it?”

Elena immediately smacks Christian in the chest. “Don’t talk nonsense, I’m not that crazy asking for a stone from the moon.”

“So talk, tell me, what I have to do to prove all my seriousness to you. Don’t confuse me,” added Christian again.

Elena slowly lowers her head, breaking off the intense eye contact with Christian. “I’m scared.”

“Scared, scared about what?” Christian repeats Elena’s words with raised eyebrows.

Elena nodded slowly.

An impatient Christian grabs Elena’s chin, lifting her up so that she is level with him. “Afraid of what? What scares you, Elena?”

“I’m afraid of being hurt,” Elena answered honestly.

“Offended?”

“The two of us are very different, Christ. Meeting your parents really made me feel very nervous and scared, their big names make me feel nothing. Honestly I feel very happy because you want to introduce me to your family, but on the other hand I’m afraid. I’m afraid of being rejected, dumped.... Oouucchh..”

Christian who doesn’t like hearing Elena’s words, immediately grips Elena’s arms tightly, suddenly making Elena wince in pain, both eyes staring coldly at Elena. As if to swallow Elena alive.

“Listen to me Elena Wilson,” Christian growls hoarsely. “I’ve told you over and over again that there will be no such thing in my family, my parents would never make a fuss about your background. Nor would I ever hurt or dump you, so put those thoughts away from now on. Because if in the future I hear you talk like that again then I will do far more terrible things than you can imagine. Don’t keep testing my patience, Elena.”

Elena, who was holding back the pain in her arms, couldn’t help but hear the warning Christian had just given her.

“I’ve never been this serious with a woman before, Elena. So don’t ever doubt me again, I’ll be really angry if you keep doubting my seriousness and sincerity to you,” Christian says back.

Elena swallowed her saliva. “I don’t doubt you, Christ.”

“If you have no doubts why do you have to repeat the same sentence over and over again, Elena!” Christian snaps loudly while shaking Elena’s body hard without realizing it, again Elena’s doubts make Christian’s emotions provoke.

The tears that Elena had been holding back finally fell down her cheeks.

“Come on, Elena,” Christian sighs in frustration. “You’re not a child, crying won’t solve the problem.”

Elena used her left palm to cover her eyes, cursing her stupidity for crying so easily. Christian shakes his head seeing what Elena is doing, with great regret Christian immediately hugs Elena’s body tightly to his broad chest.

“Shhh...sorry, I’m sorry, Elena. I didn’t mean to be rude to you, I’m sorry, Elena.”

Elena, who was already in Christian’s arms, could only stay silent and try to stop crying, but her tears were so stubborn that they continued to fall, soaking Christian’s shirt. Feeling his chest wet, Christian slowly pushes Elena away from him. Filled with great regret, Christian lands a kiss on Elena’s lips which are slightly pale because Elena has not put lipstick on her lips again after he kissed her so fiercely when he was at home, three hours ago.

“I won’t give you sweet, intoxicating promises, Elena. I’ll give you proof, I’ll prove that I really love you,” Christian says softly as he rests his forehead against Elena’s.

Feeling the heat from Christian’s breath so warm that Elena slowly calmed down, her anxiety began to fade.

“You trust me, right?” Christian pushes back.

“Y-yes,” answered Elena softly, barely audible. But Christian’s keen sense of hearing managed to catch Elena’s voice well.

With a big smile, Christian slowly stands up a little to keep his distance from Elena. His left hand slowly went into the pocket of his trouser jacket, not long after that he took out a square box containing a ring that Elena had shown yesterday in front of her parents.

Without speaking, Christian opens the box and takes out its contents. The single heart-shaped diamond ring looks so beautiful when it is taken out of its place, its sparkle is even more beautiful when it is hit by the light.

“Since you have agreed and your parents have also blessed us, then I will not ask your permission again to wear this ring,” Christian said quietly as he put on the ring he had ordered especially for Elena.

Elena, who feels she has never been to a jewelry store with Christian, is amazed when the ring Christian wears on her ring finger is so perfectly attached. So fitting and very appropriate to the size of her ring finger which now looks so beautiful with the existence of the million dollar ring.

“So beautiful, it suits you very well, Elena,” Christian says honestly.

Elena who is still fascinated by the beauty of the ring slowly turns her gaze to Christian who is looking at her so gently.

“I will immediately ask Kainer to do a formal engagement party for us once we return to Luxembourg.”

“Engagement Party?”

Christian nods slowly. “Yeah, the engagement party we’re going to have before we get married. I want everyone to know that you’re my future wife, that’s why we need to have an engagement party.”

“But Christ...”

“No buts and you can’t refuse either, because it’s an important process,” Christian says quickly. “And before the engagement party there’s one thing I want to do with you tonight.”

Elena lowered her face again which was already hot, Elena knew what Christian wanted to do to her. Oh God, is tonight the time?
