"Aiden, stop! If the person you are looking for is not here, I will definitely make you pay in an even more cruel way than this! My men are strong enough to fight you!" Reza grinned viciously.

Aiden's lips curled into a sinister smile. "I didn't only come with my men, but also the police. If they find something here, I think you will be in danger!"

​​

Reza immediately lost his grin when he heard this. "Aiden, can we talk about it carefully? Your wife is not here."

"Then, where is she?" Aiden tapped his fingers on the table while touching the gun.

"If you tell those people to leave, I'll take you to her," said Reza.

Aiden looked at the man closely. "You finally admit that my wife is in your hands."

Reza took a deep breath. "I really didn't know that woman was your wife. Once I learned her identity, I didn't hurt her. Don't worry," Reza said, promising.

Aiden felt that the man in front of him was ridiculous. "Do you think I will believe you easily?"

At that time, his bodyguard suddenly walked in and whispered something to Aiden, making him immediately rise to his feet towards the door.

"Aiden, wait a minute..." Reza tried to chase and stop Aiden in panic.

"When you killed my bodyguard, you should have known that this woman was my wife, mine! Since you dared to do it, you should also think about what to do when I finally come to your doorstep!" Aiden ignored Reza and followed his bodyguards away.

…

Currently, Anya is under the protection of Aiden's bodyguard while following the woman and her son who have been taking care of them for the past few days. They took a shortcut to the Pratama Group's garden.

The bodyguard was injured and in a coma for several days. However, since the woman and her son took care of him carefully, his injuries slowly healed.

The four of them did not dare to use the main road because they were afraid that they would meet Reza or his men.

The whole village was full of Reza's men and his underlings, so they couldn't roam around carelessly. They could only go through remote roads rarely traveled by people.

The bodyguard is someone with a lot of experience. Along the way, he looked alert and didn't forget to watch over their surroundings so they wouldn't get lost.

When Aiden brought his people to surround Reza's residence, one of the bodyguards he brought found traces left by their comrade.

"Where are they?" Aiden asked in a low voice.

"Sir, we found a sign here. Ahead, there were three paths leading to the foot of the mountain. I don't know which one they took."

After thinking for a moment, Aiden immediately made a quick decision. "Take the road that leads to the garden."

"This road leads towards the foot of the mountain, they shouldn't pass it. But there are two roads that lead to the garden. This road is small and difficult to pass because of the dense vegetation. This one… "

"Divide into two teams. I will go through the small one." Aiden did not know which road Anya took. So he can only bet and follow his intuition.

"Yes sir."

Several bodyguards then followed Aiden. They were at the front to make way and behind to guard him. Meanwhile, Aiden was in the middle.

They walked quite a distance until they found another sign, "Sir, there is another sign. Madame should be near."

"Good. Keep speeding up again." Aiden rushed forward even faster. He asked his guards to pave the way even faster so that he could catch up with Anya.

He doesn't want to be too late to find his wife.

The sooner the better.

…

Anya can't run anymore. She gasped for breath and asked, "Is it still far?"

The woman answered and her son helped to translate it. "Still half way."

"We're only halfway there?" Anya feels hopeless. "Shall we find a place to rest for a moment?"

The woman immediately wagged her hand in panic and her son returned to translating. "We can't rest. The mountains will be even more dangerous at night!"

"Let me carry you, Madame." However, the guard's wounds had only just healed. He was already having a hard time even running alone. His clothes seemed to be stained red because the wound reopened again. How could Anya ask him to carry her?

"You are still injured. Let's walk again, I'm still strong," Anya gritted her teeth. She looked for a log that looked strong enough for her to use as a stick.

As they walked, Aiden's bodyguard suddenly stopped moving because he could hear movements behind them.

"What's wrong?" Anya asked.

"There are people who are after us. I heard about five or six people and they are running very fast in this direction," the guard said in a low voice.

As soon as the woman heard this, she immediately panicked and kept saying something.

"Reza's men are after us. If he finds out that my mother is helping you go, he will kill us," said the boy.

The bodyguard looked around him and made a decision. "Madame, hurry up and go. Let me stop them."

"You are alone and injured. There's five of them! You can't beat them alone. Instead of fighting them, we should hide," said Anya.

The woman looked around her and pointed towards the dark forest, suggesting that they hide there.

"Isn't it dangerous there? Isn't there a snake?" As soon as Aiden's bodyguard saw it, he felt the dark forest was too dangerous.

"Isn't there a cave or anything?" Anya asked.

"Nothing. The cave has collapsed because of a landslide," said the child. "Can you climb trees?"

"I can climb, but..." Aiden's bodyguard looked at Anya doubtfully.

Anya laughed when she saw that doubtful look. "Don't underestimate me. I often climbed trees when I was a child."

The woman immediately picked up her child and climbed a large tree. They hide in the most shady parts. Since she was wearing green, they were completely hidden behind the leaves.

The bodyguard squatted in front of Anya, allowing her to use his shoulders as footholds since Anya was not tall enough to reach the trunk.

Anya did not hesitate at all. Several people were chasing her and she didn't have time to hesitate. She immediately used Aiden's bodyguard as a foothold and grabbed a branch strong enough to climb it.

The guard was relieved when Anya was able to climb fast.

As soon as Anya went up, she heard the voices of those after her. She immediately hid and did not dare to move an inch. She saw Aiden's bodyguard immediately run and climb the tree in just two or three steps, like a monkey.

After that, he disappeared.

The tree they chose to hide was not on their main path, but far enough from the road. It was not easy for those pursuers to find them.

The sound of the footsteps were getting closer and closer, making Anya's heart beat fast.

"Brother Reza said we have to catch that woman."

"They passed that route. They are so fast!"

"That damn woman helped them escape!"

"We should have restrained the child so they can't run away like this! Damn it!"

Then they moved and went as fast as the wind.

However, even after those people had left, the four of them didn't dare to come down from the tree. They were afraid that the chasers would come back and find them.

They remained in the tree for more than half an hour. Seeing that the people from earlier had not returned, they could finally feel relieved.

However, before they could get off the tree, they heard footsteps from afar. This time, the sound seemed to show a sign that more people had come than before.

"Hurry up and hide again! Someone's coming! This time they're around eight people," said the guard.

Before his voice could be heard, Anya had already jumped from the tree. The guard was so scared and immediately shouted, "Madame, what are you doing?"
