"Even if you do something, do you think you can still stand in front of me? If you want to make amends, you have to devote your life to Atmajaya Group. That's all I want." After saying that, Aiden immediately took Anya's hand and led her into the elevator.
"Aiden, I promise to give up all of my shares and work for Atmajaya Group for the rest of my life to make amends for my mother. But please… please let my mother live," Ivan finally said his wish.
Aiden looked at him with a smile. "I know. I'll keep my promise too then,"
"Thank you," Ivan breathed a sigh of relief. As her son, this was the only thing he could do for Imel.
Ivan didn't understand the true meaning behind Aiden's smile, but Anya did.
Imel was destined to suffer!
Ivan voluntarily gave up his shares and was willing to work at the Atmajaya Group for the rest of his life just so that his mother would get a chance to live.
But he didn't know Aiden. How could Aiden let Imel die after doing all this?
For Aiden, the best revenge would be to let Imel live and suffer rather than die.
When the elevator doors closed, Anya turned her head and looked at Aiden. "Brother Ivan just got engaged yesterday and yet Imel was suddenly arrested today. Did you plot everything?"
"Imel was happily attending his son's engagement party yesterday, dreaming that she will experience heaven one day by my father's side. But she went to jail the next day instead. Isn't that amusing?" Aiden did not deny Anya's question.
He did not intend to destroy Ivan's marriage. He was also not afraid that the Mahendra family would support Ivan. As long as Imel's scandal and crimes got exposed in public, Ivan would never be able to take over the Atmajaya Group.
And even if Bima agreed to it, the shareholders of the Atmajaya Group would not want Ivan to become the CEO.
He could only become a temporary CEO. Aiden could make his comeback any time, so he could easily seize everything if he wanted to. Other than that, Ivan realized that he had to leave the company to Nico when the boy was capable enough to take over.
What Imel did had become a stain on Ivan's life, a stain that could never be erased.
Bima might not agree to Ivan giving back all of his shares, but at least he wouldn't be able to give Ivan any more shares.
Aiden was still the largest shareholder in the company.
Even if Ivan wanted to do something, he would never succeed. Everything was within Aiden's control…
"Aiden, Brother Ivan didn't do anything wrong. You shouldn't do this to him. No one can choose what kind of parents they're born into. I hope you don't punish him for what Imel has done," Anya seemed to feel sorry for Ivan.
Seeing her displeasure, Aiden said, "Ivan is not completely innocent. It's true that Imel did all this for him. But two years ago, he suddenly came home. Can you guarantee that he never thinks of selfish goals for himself?"
"But Brother Ivan is also a member of the Atmajaya family. There is nothing wrong if he also wants his position in the family. But in the end, he didn't do anything, right? What did he do two years ago? Did he hurt you? No. On the contrary, his presence in Indonesia made Imel unable to do anything freely because she had to maintain her good image for him. I think it's fair to say that Brother Ivan has protected everyone," said Anya.
Aiden took Anya's hand and led her out of the lift. He didn't think Anya would say all of that.
For the past two years, Ivan had done nothing. He was always humble and had no intention of competing with Aiden. His presence in Indonesia made Imel unable to do anything.
Seeing Aiden not answering her, Anya continued, "Aiden, can you hear me? No matter what Brother Ivan did, he was used to doing it without telling anyone. You can't understand his good intentions. For the past two years, Imel has not done anything because Brother Ivan is in Indonesia. He was the one preventing Imel from doing whatever she wanted."
"How do you know if Ivan has no intention of helping his mother?" Aiden took Anya back to the car.
"Imel is his mother. Of course he didn't want to see his own mother committing a crime. He even begged for Imel's safety. In my opinion, Brother Ivan is innocent." Anya thought about what happened to her mother and felt sad too. "I also hate Imel. She made my mother miserable. But what did Brother Ivan do wrong?"
Aiden pulled Anya into his arms gently. "They have killed my mother and brother. I almost died too. Until now…"
"What is it? Have you experienced trauma?" Anya heard that many people were traumatized after such a big incident. The trauma could also cause other side effects.
Even though Aiden was very strong, he had experienced an incident that almost took his life. It was a miracle that he was able to recover like a normal person
Anya still remembered the first time she met Aiden, the man's eyesight was still not fully recovered back then.
Aiden smiled and stroked Anya's head gently. How could he be traumatized?
Anya was his sun that could heal all of his wounds. He didn't ask anything other than keep her by his side.
"I have the greatest days in my life with you by my side," said Aiden.
"Aiden, since when did you turn this romantic?" Anya leaned against Aiden's chest and stared at him with a smile.
"I learned from you. Do you like it?"
"Yes. Say a few more things," Anya said on purpose.
She rarely could hear Aiden convey such romantic words.
"Before you appeared in my life, my world looked dark. You are the one who brings color to my world and makes it brighter," Aiden looked at Anya with love.
Anya still remembered when Aiden couldn't see. She didn't know how Aiden could survive in such dark days.
But Anya was very happy because Aiden was recovering now.
"If I knew my existence could bring light to your life, I would have come earlier," Anya said, holding Aiden's face and kissing his lips.
Her gentle kiss lasted for a while so that the air around them heated up. Aiden was afraid that he would not be able to control himself so he pushed her away. "Don't play with fire."
Anya laughed seeing him.
"You naughty. Look, I'll punish you at home," Aiden said hoarsely.
"I am not afraid. I'm menstruating right now," Anya said boldly.
Aiden smoothed Anya's hair and tucked it behind her ear. "So, are you teasing me on purpose?"
"You think?" Anya smiled, making Aiden swallow hard.
He opened a bottle of water and gulped it down at once. Anya saw Aiden's head lifted and his Adam's apple continued to move as he swallowed the water rapidly.
"How sexy..."
"You really want to kill me huh?" Aiden knew Anya was doing it on purpose.
When they returned home, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.
Seeing Anya coming, Hana immediately brought her the medicine.
Anya did not know that she was taking medicine to prevent the risk of miscarriage. She drank all the medicine that Hana had brought and said with a smile, "Indeed, Doctor Tirta is far better than Tara. The medicine he prescribed for me is not bitter like Tara's medicine."
