Love Worth Fighting For

Chapter 13: Areez’s prison

“My name is Suri Mireya, my nickname is Suri, not Mira like what you’ve been saying all the time, Areez. You’re not deaf, are you?!”

Areez smirked. “Can you prove that that’s your real name?”

“Damn it, how many times have I told you to give me a cell phone or laptop or something so that I...”

“You can run away from me, can you?”

Suri immediately covered her lips, Areez, the annoying man who had kept her in Auckland, seemed to have a sixth sense. He always knew what plans were in her mind.

“I won’t let you go, not until you pay for the losses you’ve done over these three years and plus the last report from the Academy I just heard from Mrs Mauren about your misbehavior over the past two weeks.”

“I’m not naughty!”

.....

“Oh really? What about your friend who broke her leg?”

Suri immediately turned her face the other way. “It was her own fault.”

“Her own fault?”

Suri, who is too lazy to talk about one of her bullies at the academy, chooses to fold her hands on the table to be used as a headrest, Suri too lazy to talk to the man she hates so much.

Areez smiled faintly at how disrespectful Suri was. “Today you have to go home with me, the day after tomorrow there is a party...”

“To hell with those dance parties, I’m not interested,” Suri screamed loudly without lifting her head from the table.

“I just want to go home, I miss my family.”

“Home, where are you going?”

Suri quickly raised her head, looking at Areez who was still standing calmly in front of her without any guilt or anger even though she had behaved very rudely towards the noble man.

“Switzerland, my house is in Switzerland, Areez,” Suri replied quietly, Suri had told Areez countless times this.

“Your house is the place where you spent your last three years, Mira...”

“Suri! Don’t call me that name, I don’t want to hear it!”

“Whatever, for me you are Mira. From the first time I brought you home from the hotel where you stole my food, your name was Mira,” Areez said stubbornly, making Suri angry is a pleasure for Areez because he deliberately called Suri by a name he really didn’t like. .

Suri, who had run out of patience, then threw the books that were nearby at Areez in annoyance, but the agile Areez easily deflected the arrival of the books with ease, which made Suri even more irritated.

“I hate you, Areez!”

“I know.”

“You’re really out of your mind, Areez. You should have gone to a psychiatrist to have your mental health checked, you’re really out of luck.”

Instead of being angry with Suri’s words, Areez actually smiled broadly. “The more you fight me, the tighter I will be on you, Mira.”

“Suri!” Suri chuckles stubbornly, she doesn’t like being called Mira even though the name Areez is taken from a pun on her middle name Mireya.

“Wait here, I have to discuss all the losses of the Academy with Mrs. Mauren. After that we will go home,” Areez said softly, the next second the man turned around and went straight from the garden where Suri was to Mrs. Mauren’s room.

As soon as Areez entered the Academy, three of Aarez’s bodyguards immediately stood in a perfect position to guard Suri in the garden. Seeing the stone-hearted guards already lined up watching her, Suri sighed deeply, Areez really made her unable to do anything.

For the past three years, Suri has not been given permission to access anything on the internet, not to mention cell phones, laptops. Suri can only use a laptop that is not connected to the internet to do her assignments at the Academy, for the rest she doesn’t.

Actually, Suri’s attempts to escape from Areez have been countless, ranging from asking the maid to lend her cellphone to deliberately sneaking into Areez’s office to access the internet and countless other attempts. But nothing worked, Suri remained cooped up in Areez’s house being a lady who didn’t have the freedom to do anything. Suri is really made like 18th century girls by Areez, only allowed to learn manners, table manners, dance and various royal greetings.

“Mommy.... Daddy.... Christian... I miss you, I miss you so much. Please help me, Christ. I can’t stand being in this place anymore.”

“No, no... no honey, don’t go there. Come back to me now!!”

“Suri... Suri wait, Suriii!!”
