"I heard you are pregnant. Congratulations!" Natali said, smiling at Anya.

When she heard that voice, Anya's heart felt like it would come out of her chest. She was really shocked, and also scared…

​​

There was no way Natali had come just to congratulate her.

"What do you want?" Anya looked at Natali suspiciously.

"I'm going to be an aunt soon, so of course I'm happy to hear the news. What do you think I want?" Natali took the fork on the table and poked at Tara's unfinished cake.

Anya felt very panicked. She glanced at the bathroom, hoping Tara would come back soon.

She didn't dare to stand up because she was wearing high heels. If Natali pushed her and she fell, what would happen to her baby?

As long as she didn't eat or drink whatever Natali gave her, Natali wouldn't have a chance to do anything to her.

"We're not even that close to greet each other. Don't come near me. I didn't intend to play drama with you," Anya asked Natali to leave.

"Anya, are you afraid of me? If you don't do anything to me, why should you be afraid of me?" Natali put down the fork she was carrying. "I just like this cake. Look, it has a nice look before but now it got ruined. Kind of reminds me of myself when those disgusting men forced their way on me,"

Anya felt panicked even more. Natali was warning her that she would take revenge for what she did to her.

What should she do now?

"I am not afraid of you and I don't feel sorry for you. I don't care what happens to you because you also intend to harm me. You had it coming for your abominable deeds. You deserved it," Anya grabbed her bag and intended to take her cell phone to contact Aiden. Before doing so, she saw Raka approaching her.

Seeing that Anya's face was pale, Raka asked worriedly, "Anya, are you okay?"

"I am fine. Are you looking for Natali?" Anya looked towards Natali. The meaning of her gaze was very clear. She hoped Raka would immediately take Natali away from her.

Raka understood the meaning of Anya's gaze and knew what made her feel scared. "Natali, your father is coming. Let's greet him,"

"Sister, our father has come. Come with us," Natali reached out to take Anya's hand but Anya immediately brushed her hand away. "Don't touch me!"

"Sister..." Natali's eyes turned red. "Do you hate me?"

"I don't like other people touching me. Get going first. I'm waiting for Aiden," Anya said coldly.

Raka stepped forward and stopped Natali, "Anya is still waiting for Aiden. Let's go first,"

"Sister, I will not appear in front of you again if you hate me," Natali pretended to be sad and went along with Raka.

After Natali left, Anya could only breathe a sigh of relief. She looked at the crushed cake in front of her and understood how much Natali hated her…

Tara came out of the bathroom and saw Anya's pale face. She asked worriedly, "What's the problem? Why are you destroying my cake?"

"Natali just came. She was the one who stabbed the cake with a fork," Anya replied in a low voice.

"That crazy woman. What did she want? Giving you a warning?" Tara immediately checked Anya's heart rate and there was no irregularity. She felt relieved.

"She congratulated me on my pregnancy and said that she would never forget the humiliation she went through. She really hates me now," Anya's face looked very pale.

Tara was several years older than Anya. She was an independent woman who had her own business and was in contact with many people every day so that she was much more mature than the pregnant woman beside her.

Hearing Anya's words, she knew that Anya regretted having a problem with Natali.

But Natali had always been looking for trouble and didn't want to let Anya live in peace. It wasn't Anya who deliberately provoked Natali…

"Anya, have you ever thought what would happen if Aiden didn't save you? People like Natali should be taught a lesson. If she still doesn't give up, that means the lessons aren't enough for her," Tara said angrily.

"Not enough?"

"You still care about Raka's family and you also don't want your father to be sad so you don't sue her. Only Yura was punished for her actions. But Natali is not grateful at all. She thought that the Mahendra family was the one who saved her. There was only hatred and evil on her mind. She knows you are pregnant, that's why she started plotting evil. You have to be careful."

Tara felt the safest way to deter Natali was to put her in jail.

Otherwise, Natali would keep coming back for Anya. And now that her friend is pregnant, they should take precautions so that nothing bad happened.

"I'm also worried. I'm afraid I can't protect myself from her. I'm afraid I can't protect the life that's growing inside me," Anya said worriedly.

Suddenly, Aiden appeared from behind them. "The event will start soon. Let's go there,"

Anya didn't know whether Aiden heard their conversation or not.

"Tara, let's go together," Anya took Tara's hand. The three of them immediately walked towards the center of the room.

Music started playing. Lisa in her white dress appeared on the runway that had been prepared for the bride and groom.

Due to her pregnancy, she wore a fluffy skirt to cover her growing belly.

Nico was standing at the end of the street holding a microphone. He sang as he slowly walked towards Lisa.

This was the first time Anya had heard Nico sing. Then, she turned to her husband curiously. "Aiden, can you sing?"

"Do you want to hear it?" Aiden could guess what Anya was thinking.

"Would you do it if I said I wanted to hear your voice?" Anya smiled and deliberately asked him.

Aiden looked at his wife's face affectionately, "If you want, I'll sing for you,"

"Can you not show off your affection in front of me? You two are really… " Tara couldn't finish her sentence because Aiden's gaze was on her. She immediately changed her words.

"… very romantic."

Anya laughed and whispered to Tara, "Do you think Aiden has a good voice?"

"Of course he has a good voice. How could Aiden's voice be anything else… " just like Nico, Tara was also good at words. Her answer made Anya laugh even louder.

Nico finished his song and took Lisa onto the stage. He held the microphone to his mouth and asked out loud, "Lisa, do you want to be by my side and let me take care of you all my life?"

"I… I…" Lisa's lips moved, but she couldn't say 'do'. Her eyes continued to glance toward someone below the stage.

Tara followed Lisa's direction and saw a familiar figure. "Anya, I think this engagement party will be ruined,"

"Are you going to snatch the groom?" Anya asked in surprise.

"Tara, don't talk nonsense," Aiden immediately rebuked her.

Tara only shrugged her shoulders. "Not me. Looks like someone came to get Lisa,"

"Who?" Anya asked anxiously. She saw that Lisa was not looking at Nico. Her gaze fell below the stage, at a man in a white shirt and a gray suit in the crowd.
