"I… I made a mistake. But I can't tell you," Nadine said guiltily.
Anya didn't care what mistake Nadine made. After all, it had nothing to do with her. It's Aiden and the Atmajaya Family business to fix.
From the bus stop, Anya and Nadine picked up their bikes at Lanny's flower shop and then led them home. Luckily, the distance wasn't too far.
Diana welcomed Nadine very warmly, the dinner served that night was so varied. After dinner, Nadine immediately volunteered to help with the dishes.
After everything was sorted out, Anya helped Nadine to call a repairman and fixed her bike's tires. After that, Nadine went home.
On the living room sofa, Diana took her daughter's hand and said, "Your assistant is very kind. She is cheerful and also smart. She even offered to help me wash the dishes after dinner. Looks like she's a good girl "
"Nadine is Aiden's niece. I don't know what happened, but it looks like she's being punished. Aiden only gave her 20 thousand a day. She had trouble eating. Poor girl," Anya said.
"That girl is the illegitimate daughter of the Atmajaya Family?" Diana realized immediately.
"You're really smart," Anya gave Diana a thumbs up.
"Maria has found her biological daughter now. Plus, Nadine has been missing for years and hasn't come back either. There must be something going on. But this is none of our business. We can only help her if she doesn't have anything to eat for dinner," Diana said.
"Hmm..." Anya nodded.
She also didn't want to get involved with the Atmajaya Family. But she didn't have the heart ...
At night, Anya laid on her bed and turned on her cellphone. There was still no news from Raka.
Nico warned her not to contact Raka for a while. Even though Anya knew that Raka had returned to his family, she was still worried.
However, Raka had always helped her all this time.
Right now, the only thing Anya could do to help Raka was not to contact him.
…
In the blink of an eye, international women's day arrived. The mall owned by the Atmajaya Group was holding an event so that many visitors came.
Anya called Aiden to tell him that she couldn't have lunch with him. "Iris is very busy today. I can't eat with you,"
"If you dare to break your promise, our agreement will be canceled," Aiden said.
Anya was annoyed by Aiden's answer. Could he be a little understanding? "I'm working and looking for money for you!"
"I don't need money," Aiden replied curtly.
Anya was speechless. What could she say to refute Aiden?
He was the CEO of the Atmajaya Group and Iris was just like a grain of sand to him…
Today, it was Abdi who drove Anya to Aiden's office. He dropped her off at the entrance to the Atmajaya Group's building so that Anya had to go up by herself.
Anya stood at Aiden's office door and knocked, but there was no answer.
"Aiden, I'm in."
Inside, Anya didn't see Aiden. But she did see a bouquet of roses and a jewelry box on the table.
At the same time, Aiden walked out of his room. When he saw Anya, his eyes sparkled with joy.
"Look. This is a gift for you. Do you like it?" Aiden asked with a smile.
"I came here to eat. Why do I have to accept this gift?" Anya only saw the flower and the jewelry box briefly, then she walked towards the dining table.
Aiden stopped walking. He felt his vision blur so he closed his eyes. His body felt heavy.
Seeing Aiden silent, Anya felt that the man was offended by her refusal.
'Anya, you are divorced. Don't get involved with him anymore,' Anya thought to herself.
If it weren't for the contract, she wouldn't want to have lunch with Aiden.
"What's wrong with you?" Anya had already arranged all the food, but Aiden was still standing in his place. It was the moment Anya realized something was wrong.
"It's okay," Aiden felt his body sway and he walked toward the sofa slowly.
Anya immediately helped him to walk. "Aiden, what's wrong with you?" She tried to help him towards the sofa, but her feet tripped over the table instead.
Aiden tried to protect her by hugging her, and they both fell on the sofa together.
Anya's tiny body leaned against Aiden's chest, while her lips accidentally met Aiden's.
Anya was immediately shocked to death.
Aiden was also surprised. He hesitated for a moment and then took the opportunity when Anya couldn't react by holding her face and kissing her deeply again.
Anya's eyes widened. Aiden's kiss made her head buzz. She couldn't think of anything and couldn't react.
Aiden continued to kiss her lips and his hands hugged Anya tighter.
A few moments later, Anya regained consciousness and tried to break free. But Aiden immediately turned around and held Anya's body on the sofa, rendering her unable to move.
Their memories seemed to repeat itself in his mind. They were really happy, his memories with Anya were full of sweetness.
Aiden would never be able to forget her to death.
He knew very well that he shouldn't have done this until Anya's identity was clear. But he couldn't control himself.
Anya could clearly see the longing in Aiden's eyes.
When Aiden still loved her in the past, he always looked at her like this.
His gaze was full of longing, love, and passion.
After that, Aiden would hold her out of bed and clean her.
Remembering this, Anya immediately panicked and pushed Aiden's chest hard.
But Aiden was completely immovable. His hand gripped Anya's hand very tightly against his chest, so that the woman could hear his pounding heartbeat clearly.
"Aiden, are you crazy? Let me go!" Anya shouted.
Aiden seemed to wake up and immediately took control of himself, releasing Anya's body.
Once freed, Anya immediately retreated far enough from Aiden as if trying to protect herself.
He stared angrily at Aiden's handsome face, like a cat about to scratch.
"Sorry. I couldn't help myself," Aiden said in a deep voice.
"Aiden, you yourself wanted to divorce from me. You were the one who didn't want me. What did you do just now?" Anya shouted loudly.
"I didn't... I just..."
"Just what?" Anya asked.
Aiden's lips continued to move, but he didn't say anything as if he was at a loss for words.
"Did you think that you can protect me by hiding the truth? Do you know the meaning of marriage? No matter what happens in marriage, a husband and wife must trust each other and struggle to face problems together. Did you even think of me as your first wife?"
Anya stared angrily at Aiden. "I'm not coming tomorrow. I will return to France when the competition is over. To hell with that contract. You can just put me in jail!"
Aiden heard Anya's footsteps leaving him and his heart was filled with mixed feelings. He didn't know why he did that ridiculous thing just now.
He only wanted to kiss Anya. He wanted to kiss Anya and tell her that he still loved her. He really loved her to the point of wanting to die!
He buried his desire deep in his heart but his feelings exploded and he couldn't control himself today.
Even though Anya had signed their divorce papers, for Aiden, Anya was still his.
Aiden wanted to protect her, wanted to hide her from the evil of the world and wanted her back.
Anya was his and could only be his.
