"I love Anya. If you are really nice to her, I can let her go. But I will not remain silent if you use her and deceive her." Raka said as he glared at Aiden.
"Anya is my wife. You don't need to meddle in our problems," Aiden said coldly with an arrogant gaze.
"Anya is a good person. She is so strong and has faced many struggles in her life. How can you treat Anya like this? I thought you could treat her so well that I was ready to let go. But you tricked her. The garden is just a piece of land for you, but for Anya, it's her whole childhood memories. Every tree, every flower there was planted with her own two hands," said Raka with great emotion, "You don't deserve Anya."
Aiden completely ignored Raka's words. He looked up lazily with a sneer. "Anya is already mine. You can never take her."
Raka was really furious that his anger had taken over him. He threw a punch at Aiden, but Aiden swiftly avoided it.
"Your eyes..." Raka was very surprised.
"Are you trying to use my weakness to beat me? Just because my eyesight is not good?" The sarcasm on Aiden's face was obvious. Before Raka could react, Aiden had already thrown a punch, causing Raka to hit the bookcase behind him hard.
Several books fell from the cupboard, making a loud noise.
Anya immediately pushed open the door to Aiden's study and entered in a panic. "You two, don't fight!"
"Anya..." Raka looked at Anya in surprise.
"Raka, I'm fine. You don't have to worry. My mother's garden is fine too," Anya positioned herself between Aiden and Raka so they wouldn't hit each other.
Aiden stepped forward and pulled Anya's body into his arms.
Anya's back hit Aiden's strong chest, making her heart beat wildly. When she looked up, she saw the hurt in Raka's eyes. It made her feel bad.
Aiden ignored Raka's presence and lowered his head to kiss Anya's neck. "Are you afraid that I will get beaten? So you come and help me?"
Anya blinked her eyes repeatedly. Would Aiden get beaten? Aiden really looked like he didn't need her help…
"Anya, you haven't sent your account number. I was afraid something happened to you, so I brought the money," Raka took the money from his backpack. He put the money in a thick envelope.
Anya was stunned to see him. She did ask Raka for help because she was afraid that Aiden would suddenly force her to pay. She was afraid that Aiden would do everything to get the garden after Anya learned the secret he was hiding.
Anya did not dare to take risks regarding her mother's garden.
But she did not think that Raka thought something had happened to her that he brought the money straight away.
"Raka, I thank you because you came specifically to help me and did not refuse when I needed help. Take back your money. I have solved the problem," Anya gratefully said.
Raka looked at Aiden worriedly and asked Anya, "Where did you get the money?"
"I sold my house so I could take back my mother's garden," Anya tried to get away from Aiden, but her husband hugged her so tightly.
She took a deep breath and slightly clawed Aiden's hand so he let her go.
Anya immediately returned Raka's envelope to his bag. "Raka, I really appreciate your help. Thank you for being willing to come to this place."
Raka's eyes brushed across Aiden's face. "I want to talk to Anya, alone."
"No!" Aiden immediately refused.
Anya turned and looked at Aiden irritably. "I'll talk to him in my perfume room. You can't follow me."
"Anya, have you forgotten what you promised me?" Aiden's voice immediately sounded cold.
"I promise I won't see Raka again because I respect our relationship. But the person who forced me to ask for help from Raka is you. Why do I have to keep my promise to you?" Anya argued, ignoring Aiden and walked out of Aiden's study.
Raka immediately followed Anya into her perfume room.
When entering the perfume room, Raka's steps suddenly stopped. The room looked exactly the same as Anya's perfume room.
"Do you feel this room is familiar? Aiden asked his people to make a perfume room that was exactly the same as mine," Anya said with a faint smile.
"I heard he's nice to you, but now why..."
"My mother woke up and when she found out I made her garden as a guarantee, she fell into a coma again. I never thought Aiden wanted to do anything to my mother's garden," Anya felt stupid when she said that.
"Why did you make your mother's garden a guarantee? I thought he loaned you the money and you were forced to marry him instead." Raka didn't understand all this.
"At first, I wanted to find a way out of this marriage. As long as I can pay all my debts, I can divorce Aiden. He did not force me to sign the guarantee agreement. Everything is my own initiative," Anya calmly said. "I've paid my debt and now my mother's garden is fine."
Raka's eyes flashed a complicated look, "So, do you want to divorce Aiden?"
Anya shook her head. "I don't know. I love him."
"Anya, how long have you known Aiden? How can you…" Raka was really hurt. He and Anya had known each other since childhood, so their relationship was very close. But why did Anya fall in love with Aiden so quickly?
"Raka, bring back your money. I'm grateful to have a friend like you who's willing to help me in times of need," Anya looked at Raka with a smile. "Do you have Ivan's phone number?"
"I had lunch with him before he came home. Now Ivan is not in Indonesia," Raka looked at Anya with a confused look, "Why did you suddenly ask about Ivan?"
"I heard, Ivan is a member of the Atmajaya Family now," Anya looked at Raka as she said this.
Raka was stunned when he heard the question, "You... How did you know?"
"So you already know?" Anya laughed at herself, "No wonder my mom is really hurt."
"Anya, Ivan didn't do anything wrong." Raka said.
"Ivan is Imel's son, and that was his biggest mistake." Anya's eyes look cold. "Can you imagine how sick my mother has been over the years? How much did my mother hate them?"
"Anya, what happened to our parents shouldn't affect our feelings. Ivan really loves us, don't you remember?" Raka tried to remind her.
Anya shook her head. "Raka, I was ten years old when the accident happened to my mother. Do you know Ivan's age? Ivan is twenty-one years old, he's an adult! At that time Imel tried to kill my mother. He was not that stupid, not knowing his mother's plans. But he didn't do anything."
"Maybe at that time Ivan was also having a hard time. Or maybe Aunt Imel is hiding everything from Ivan…" Raka tried to find an excuse for Ivan, but it felt completely inconclusive.
"Raka, do you really believe Ivan didn't know?" Anya asked with a faint smile. "I don't want to live in the Atmajaya Family. I don't want to face Ivan. I'm afraid to become a victim in the middle of Aiden and Ivan's feud."
"I can take you away from the Atmajaya Family whenever you want. Don't you want to go abroad to study perfume?" Raka asked.
