"Why do you think your mother begged the Atmajaya Family for? She did it to protect you. The Mawardi Family, especially Salim's wife, is straight up cruel. Salim has failed you and your mother, and he must take responsibility for what he did. Prestige will not make your life happier, nor will it feed you. Just look at what happened to Jonathan for not daring to go against his family. In the end, his wife fell victim. You have to take a lesson from him," Aiden didn't say much, but his words really hit hard.

He believed that Harris would understand what he was trying to say.

​​

At first, the Srijaya Family did not like Jonathan's wife. Because of that, they kicked Jonathan out of the house and disowned him. They did all kinds of evil and made Jonathan's wife a victim in the end.

Even though Alisa was a direct member of their family, the Srijaya Family did not want to acknowledge her as one.

But things changed. Jonathan occupied the top spot in the family now. And so his daughter Alisa had an important position in the family too.

It was true that submitting to money was not a good thing. But being stubborn and rejecting things that should've been rightfully owned was also wrong.

"Sir, I understand what you are saying. I won't let anything happen to Nadine. I will not take what is not mine. But if it's mine, I won't let anyone else get it," Harris said firmly.

"I'll be waiting for good news from you," Aiden hung up and looked at Anya who was lying on the bed. His wife smiled broadly and pointed her two thumbs up at him.

Aiden stroked Anya's head gently and kissed her forehead.

His little wife was really sweet.

Since the surgery that would be carried out today was a minor one, Aiden forbade anyone to visit Anya today. He didn't want people to ask about her feelings and make her feel even more depressed.

Before the surgery, he held Anya's hand tightly, giving his strength to the future mother of his children.

"Are you afraid?" Aiden asked in a soft voice.

"I'm not afraid," Anya smiled sweetly. Aiden felt proud that his little wife was much braver than he could have imagined.

Two years ago, their failure to protect their child had left a gaping wound in Anya's heart.

As long as she could take care of her children she carried, Anya would endure any pain.

…

The operation went very smoothly. Before it was carried out, Anya had undergone various examinations and the doctor advised her to have a cesarean delivery to ensure the safety of her twins.

Initially, Anya and Aiden had discussed this issue and decided to have a normal birth as long as Anya was still able. Anya wanted to give birth normally. Also, the recovery of normal delivery was also much faster than c-section.

But when she heard the doctor's advice, Anya immediately changed her decision without having to think twice.

Aiden held Anya's hand and kissed her. "I'm so proud of you. You are so brave."

"I'm also proud of myself. From the start, I doubted if I could have children with my poor health. I keep trying to recover by taking vitamins and herbs so that I can conceive them, our twins! It was not easy to have them and I believe it'll be even more difficult to look after them later. But thinking about the time when they will be born and I will become a mother makes me feel like my hard work will pay off," Anya smiled.

"Thank you..." Once again Aiden kissed the back of Anya's hand. "I will work hard for us."

"Really?" Anya teased.

"I'm going to learn to be a good father," Aiden said with a smile.

In the afternoon, Maria came to visit Anya and brought her food. When Anya was eating, Maria looked towards Aiden. "I heard Keara was caught."

"Today?" Anya looked at Aiden in surprise.

"I helped Raka to erase his name from the news," Aiden said casually.

He didn't lie, the news of Keara's arrest immediately buried the news about Raka and Della's relationship. Even the public relations of the Mahendra Family could delete news about Raka easily from the internet.

Meanwhile, news about Keara had spread widely, and sure enough, it raised a lot of speculation.

From Mila's confession, the story that Keara stole the perfume recipe had been circulating for quite a while and triggered some rages from many. They were surprised to find out that Keara won second place in a prestigious competition by using Anya's perfume formula.

But because the formula was still not finalized and only an experimental one, everyone who bought the perfume was struck with allergies.

Mila also told her that Keara not only asked her to steal the recipe but also to spy on Anya.

Two years ago, Keara almost caused Anya to miscarry during an event at the Atmajaya mall.

Keara's assistant had also been caught. In order to get a reduced sentence, he immediately revealed everything Keara had done.

When Keara found out that Anya was her younger sister, she immediately changed the results of the DNA test, deliberately making the Atmajaya family misunderstand and thinking that Anya was Maria's daughter.

The confession from Keara's assistant finally revealed the real reason why Aiden and Anya separated two years ago. All of this happened because of Keara!

The gun that Natali had also came from Keara. It was true that she was the one who instigated Natali to kill Anya, but unfortunately Natali had gone mad so she couldn't recognize her.

Keara was also the one who put the bloody knife on Anya's hospital bed.

To put the blame on others, Keara asked her assistant to use a remote bank account to send money to the nurse.

Keara knew very well that Anya was her sister, but she still did those cruel things.

She really was crazy!

Everyone immediately trashed on Keara, but Anya didn't want to see it. She didn't want the news to affect her mood.

Right now, she needed lots of rest for the children she carried.

"At least my children will be safe since she's been caught. I don't have to worry that Keara will hurt me," Anya breathed a sigh of relief.

When she heard Anya's words, Maria also felt worried. "I also hope that Keara is punished as severely as possible. She has repeatedly planned assassinations and got away with it every time,"

Anya nodded in agreement. Maybe this was the best news she had ever heard.

"I've contacted your father. Since Keara wants to donate her liver to your mother, the Pratama Family will probably help her get a suspension from prison," said Aiden.

When she heard the conversation between Anya and Aiden, Maria just found out that Anya was a child from the Pratama Family. She felt happy because Anya had found her biological parents.

"I'm not sure if she wants to donate her liver. She just wanted to use that excuse to escape her sentence," Anya knew Keara well, she'd learned many things about her from the past.

"Keara is currently pregnant so the Pratama Family might be able to ask for a deferment easily. If they decide to help her, don't be hurt. I'm sure they can handle Keara and not let her hurt you," Aiden said softly.

Anya nodded. "If you are here with me, I can rest easy."

Aiden stroked her head gently. He would do his best to protect Anya and their children.

…

A week later, Aiden received an invitation from Salim Mawardi. Salim intended to announce that the Mawardi Family had found their second son who had been separated from them for years.

Even Harris himself did not think that Salim would throw a special party to introduce him to everyone.

"I'm not going," Aiden pushed aside the invitation.

"Even though you don't care about the Mawardi family, at least you have to come for Harris and Nadine," said Anya.

"But..."

"Go. My children and I will wait for you to come home," Anya said with a smile.

Aiden shook his head. "Harris and Nadine will understand why I didn't come. I don't want to leave you alone!" He lowered his head and kissed the top of Anya's head gently. "Do you want to hear a funny story?"
