"Are you angry?" Anya asked weakly. Even though her whole body felt so uncomfortable, she was still thinking about Aiden's feelings.

"I'm right next to you. If something happened to your mother, you should have told me first rather than put yourself at risk like that," Aiden's voice sounded cold. "Don't you think of me as a husband? Am I unreliable?"

​​

Anya rested her head on the back of the sofa and hugged him. She knew that her husband was very angry because she didn't tell him her problem right away.

Aiden was angry that Anya was putting herself in a dangerous situation.

But what could she do?

Should she risk her mother's life?

"I heard my mother's voice on the other end of the phone. Yura also didn't let me hang up and she was watching me via CCTV. She threatened to hurt my mother if I asked for help," Anya said, trying to defend herself. Tears rolled down her face.

She also didn't know what to do.

She did not know whether Yura tricked her or really caught her mother.

If it turned out that her mother was really abducted, it's possible that she would lose her mother's life.

Aiden's eyes seemed to soften a little. He knew that Anya had no other choice at that time. Luckily, Anya sent a message to Tara. But still, Aiden was furious.

Aiden stretched out his hand and touched Anya's forehead. His wife's body was burning.

Anya held Aiden's cold hand and said, "Aiden, I was wrong. I should have asked you a favor and not follow her. Please help me."

"How can I help you?" Aiden asked on purpose.

Anya reached out and hugged Aiden's neck tightly. She snuggled into Aiden's arms like a trembling cat.

"Let go of me," Aiden said.

"No. I don't want to let you go. I know I was wrong. I didn't think that Yura would be that cruel," Anya said, crying.

Her body felt so uncomfortable that she continued to squirm. But Aiden had no intention of helping her. Her husband was really angry!

Aiden knew that Anya was in a deep pain. But she didn't take her to the hospital nor helped her to 'satisfy' her until the drug's worn off. He let Anya burn in the heat a little longer. He wanted Anya to feel this little pain so that she could be more careful next time.

Until when would Anya continue to let herself be deceived by everyone's tricks?

"Aiden, help me!" Anya knew Aiden had no intention of taking her to the hospital and wanted to help her in some other way.

But her husband was so angry that he refused to touch her. She felt fire in her chest, as if it wanted to burn her alive and Aiden had no intention of extinguishing it.

"You deserve this. If you keep moving, I'll leave you," Aiden said coldly.

Anya looked up and looked at Aiden with tears in her eyes.

Aiden took a deep breath and carried Anya's body, but not towards the bed. He brought her to the bathroom instead. The man took Anya into the bathtub and poured cold water over her.

Her whole body was shivering and her skin was red from the heat from within and the cold water.

But it didn't help her at all. In fact, it made her tremble even more.

Anya could only hug her body while crying. "I know I was wrong. I know I shouldn't act alone. I know I should have told you. I'm stupid and I'm putting myself in jeopardy. I know I was wrong…"

Aiden gave Anya a big towel so that she could wrap her body in it. After that, he left Anya alone in the bathroom.

Anya took off her drenched dress and put on a robe from the hotel.

She was really cold. The coldness felt like it pierced her bones.

Shaking, she headed over to the bed and buried herself in the blanket.

She's really tired, cold and hot too…

It's all mixed up…

"I've found her. Don't worry," Anya didn't know who Aiden was talking to. He only said a few words and hung up the call.

After ending the call, Aiden approached the bed and looked at Anya who was curled up while hugging herself under the blanket. Tears still stream down her beautiful face.

His little wife…

His little wife whom he loved so much, was almost…

When Aiden came into the room, he was very angry when he saw the various objects scattered on the bed.

He was very, very angry!

Two men were waiting for his wife and intended to attack her with aphrodisiacs. They intended to use these disgusting drugs on his wife. In addition, there were also filming sets in the room.

If that happened, wouldn't that be the same as killing Anya?

Anya did not know how worried Aiden was when he found out that she had disappeared.

Once Aiden managed to find her, the chasers had injected drugs into his wife. Aiden was really angry.

Who should he vent this anger on?

He knew Anya had no other choice. But he was still furious when he learned what the two men were planning to do with his wife.

Then what could he do?

"Aiden, I'm really sorry..." Anya cried so hard.

"See what you are like now. If I didn't save you in time, you would… " Aiden muttered angrily.

Anya couldn't resist the drug's effect at all. The medicine made her lose her rationality. She couldn't think clearly.

Her hands reached out to embrace Aiden's body. However, her sudden movement caused Aiden to fall off the bed and land on the floor. Luckily, the floor was covered with a thick carpet that was very soft.

Anya felt no pain at all. She could not think and could only suck her husband's cold lips.

Her lips were soft and sweet, but Aiden tried hard to hold back. He did not intend to kiss Anya back.

"Aiden, help me..." tears flowed from Anya's eyes to Aiden's face.

The more the tears flowed, the more Aiden's heart broke. But who could teach Anya a lesson other than himself?

He was Anya's husband, he would be responsible for guiding her, so that this would not happen another time.

"How should I help you?" Aiden knew what Anya needed, but he didn't want to give it. He wanted to torture Anya a little longer.

"I don't know," Anya looked at Aiden. Her husband's face was hazy with tears that obscured all her vision.

Aiden got up and helped Anya to straighten her body. Then he took Anya's hand and led her into the bathroom. "Take a cold shower. It can make you sober,"

"Aiden, don't punish me..." Anya tried to pull her hand away from Aiden. She didn't want to take a cold shower. She was really cold to death!

"What do you want?" Aiden asked.

"I know I'm guilty. I'll listen to you next time. Please help me!" Anya looked at her husband with red eyes.

Aiden could only take a deep breath. "What should I do with you…?" Seeing that his wife was really suffering, Aiden couldn't bear to torture her anymore.

He was really angry when he found out that something bad had almost happened to his wife.

But seeing Anya like this, he couldn't bear it any longer.

He hoped that the incident this time would really make Anya regret her choice to act on her own. May this taught her a lesson so she would not be easily fooled anymore.

Aiden carried Anya back to the bedroom, letting her sit on his lap.

Anya was still sobbing in Aiden's arms, but felt calmer after Aiden agreed to help her. Her hands tightly hugged Aiden's neck, afraid that her husband would change his mind again.

However, Aiden wouldn't change his mind. He was already thinking of another 'punishment' for his wife.
