"If I were the head of the Atmajaya Family, I would never force you to marry someone you don't love. I've experienced it too and I just freed myself from that. Come home. Don't involve your aunt," Aiden didn't want Anya to get more involved in the Atmajaya Family's complicated matters. He would try his best to protect Anya, even if he had to sacrifice Nico.

"Uncle, you can't do this to me. You're married to Auntie. Your married life is very happy. Why do I have to marry a woman I don't love?" Nico complained.

​​

"I told you you don't need to get married. Just get engaged and cancel the engagement at the right time," Aiden said.

Anya also felt a little hesitant to interfere in this matter. After all, Aiden's father was still alive and in charge of the entire Atmajaya Family. Anya and Aiden could not oppose Bima's decision.

"Nico, how about you get engaged first just to fulfill your grandfather's wish? Then, you can find the right time to cancel the engagement," Anya suggested.

Nico sat on the edge of the sofa and said in a weak voice. "Auntie, it's not as simple as you think. Since this is a matchmaking for cooperation, whoever wants to cancel it will have to compensate. My grandfather loved money as much as he loved himself. For him, money is his number one priority. Even when my uncle was kidnapped, he preferred to report it to the police rather than pay a ransom. Do you think Grandpa is willing to cancel the engagement?"

Anya was stunned for a moment when she heard that. Was there really no other way?

"Uncle, you also raised me from childhood. Do you really have the heart to make me feel what you felt once?" Nico didn't give up and tried to melt Aiden's heart.

Aiden's lips curved into a cold smile. "What can you do for me if I help you?"

Nico's eyes lit up at hearing that. He knew there must be a way to turn things around. "Uncle, tell me what you want and I will give it,"

"Ask your grandfather for a 5% stake in the Atmajaya Group as an engagement gift. With that, I will become the largest shareholder in the Atmajaya Group," Aiden said.

"So Uncle actually has a plan!" Nico laughed. "Alright, alright. If Grandpa wants me to get engaged, I'll ask for shares from him. That way, uncle will become the largest shareholder and help me to cancel the engagement,"

"If it is me who holds the power, of course I will protect you. I will not interfere with your love relationship. You can marry anyone you want," Aiden promised to Nico.

After reaching an agreement with Aiden, Nico's mood improved. He no longer worried about the blind date his grandfather had planned. "I'm going to call my mother and say that I want company stock,"

"Hmm…" Aiden muttered.

Nico was feeling really excited, but Aiden wasn't really as sure as Nico.

Bima was a very smart man. He would never give Nico a gift of company stock even if his favorite grandson was engaged.

Aiden thought this problem could only be solved by asking Maria for help.

After knowing that the problem was resolved, Nico returned home with a happy heart. Meanwhile, Aiden went to his study to finish his work and Anya returned to her room to take a shower, then sleep.

While checking Anya's health, Tara reminded Aiden not to overwork Anya with their 'extreme sports'.

Tara knew she had to say it in front of Aiden as Anya wouldn't be able to refuse her husband. If Aiden really cared about Anya, he needed to hold back.

They were married and would live together for life. If Aiden was a wise man, he would choose to hold back so that Anya's health would improve and they could live happily.

However, Anya did not think Aiden would really do that for her sake.

That night, Aiden just hugged Anya's body and they fell asleep until morning.

That night, Aiden held back for Anya's health!

When she woke up the next morning, Anya realized that her menstrual cycle had arrived and she did not feel any pain in her body. Apparently, herbal medicine, nutritious food and adequate rest really made her body much better.

"Good morning, my husband," Anya ran to the locker room and hugged Aiden who was changing clothes from behind.

"It's still early morning, but Mrs. Atmajaya is already very excited. Are you trying to seduce me?" Aiden said jokingly.

"I'm on my period," Anya looked from behind her back and stared at the mirror in front of Aiden. "I just wanted to say that my stomach doesn't hurt today,"

"Hmm..." Aiden turned around and hugged Anya's waist. "Don't you want to give me a present?"

"Keep your head down!" Anya stood on tiptoe and ordered Aiden to look down a little.

Aiden's big hands pulled Anya's tiny body into his arms. Their eyes both closed as their lips danced.

Anya put her hands around Aiden's neck, chewed her husband's lips, as taught by the man. It was still morning, but the temperature in the room was getting hotter, until Aiden's cell phone rang.

In the end, Aiden had to let go of Anya's body.

"There is an important meeting at the office this morning. You should rest first and go to work at noon," Aiden said softly while stroking Anya's head.

"Hmm..." Anya nodded obediently.

She drove her husband to the office and gave him one more kiss before they parted.

…

At 10 pm, one of Aiden's bodyguards escorted Anya to Iris.

Anya had no idea what happened when Aiden returned Raisa's cellphone to the woman. All she knew was that Raisa suddenly appeared and waited for her in Iris.

Mila was waiting for Anya to stand some distance from Iris and immediately approached when she saw Anya's figure. She stopped Anya from entering the shop and immediately said, "Anya, don't come in. Raisa has been waiting for you from earlier. Judging from her appearance, her purpose of coming to this place is not good," Mila said.

"Don't worry. I can face her," Anya had no intention of running away from this problem. She couldn't hide behind Aiden forever.

"Should I contact Mr. Aiden?" Mila asked anxiously.

"No need. Take Raisa to the living room on the first floor. I will talk to her," Anya said calmly.

Mila went straight back to the shop and carried out Anya's order.

When Raisa knew that Anya had arrived, she immediately got up. "Anya, I want to talk to you,"

"Please make a cup of tea for Miss Raisa. I'll meet Mrs. Esther first and will be back right after," Anya ignored Raisa and headed straight to the stairs.

"Anya! Can't you see I've been waiting for you so long? Stop!" Raisa shouted irritably. Never had she felt neglected like this before!

"Raisa, it's still my working hour. I have to report to Mrs. Esther first. You can wait a little bit longer," Anya ignored Raisa and continued walking to the second floor.

Raisa felt really angry. Anya put her down! Anya didn't really consider her presence there!

Early in the morning, she was asked to come to Aiden's office. She waited a long time until finally Aiden agreed to meet her after the meeting.

Aiden returned her cellphone and also warned her not to bother Anya again. That man even suspected that Raisa had ordered someone to destroy Anya's vanilla garden.

Never once did she do that!

Anya must have accused her and tainted her name even worse in front of Aiden.

"Anya, don't accuse me carelessly. What's the point of you slandering me in front of Aiden, making Aiden look at me even worse? Come down quickly! I want to talk to you right now!" Raisa shouted.
