"Indah, what are you doing?" Galih immediately chased after her. He looked at Anya, asking for help. "Anya, please calm your mother!"

Anya approached her mother and held her hand. "Mother, I will help you pack your things. This family cannot treat us fairly."

​​

"Why should I go? Shouldn't your father be the one leaving? This is my daughter's house. If you defend other people more than your own daughter, you'd better get out of the house, Galih!" Indah shouted at her husband angrily.

"Indah, don't listen to the recording and believe it. There's obviously a misunderstanding!" Galih knew very well that the tape proved Agnes had kidnapped Anya or that she ordered someone to harm her. Aiden must have gotten the tape long ago.

Indah hit Galih's chest angrily. "Galih, wait for the divorce papers from me. Unless you can prove that Agnes and you are not related by blood, I will not see you again!" Then she shouted, "Hurry up and pack my husband's things. He will leave the house tonight as well!"

"Anya, what are you doing? Did you come back to destroy our relationship?" Galih said to Anya.

Anya was silent in her place clenching her fists tightly. She didn't think her father would blame her.

Was she the one who asked to return to this family?

Not! She didn't! She didn't even want to have anything to do with Keara!

Now, her father blamed her and said she had ruined his relationship with her mother.

Her father continued to defend Agnes and blamed her for something that was not her fault.

"In order to protect your child, Keara, my mother had to lose me. She raised Keara like her own. Then, do you remember what Keara did to her? She didn't want to save mom when she was in need. Have you ever appreciated my mother's hard work over the years?"

"If it weren't for my grandmother's kindness, if it weren't for the blessing from God, I would have died long ago! Now you said that I want to return to this family to destroy your relationship? Is it only yourself you think about?" Anya asked.

Galih was silent in his place. He knew that Anya and Aiden would never accept Agnes.

"Of course I appreciate your mother's hard work. She is my wife and I love her and you too. But you guys are unfair to Agnes, you suspect her too much. You don't know her but you hate her. You thought I cared too much for her so you instigated your mother to fight with me. Anya, you have a happy family, husband and children of your own. But Agnes has nobody. Can't you feel a little sorry for her?" Galih said with anger.

When she heard what her husband said, Indah felt even more angry. She thought her husband had really gone mad.

"If you still continue to defend Agnes, just get rid of me, Galih. I've been blind to stay with you all this time. How can I marry a man like you! Get out of my way!" Indah really couldn't hold back her anger.

"I will go. Don't be emotional, Indah. This is not good for your health," Galih is afraid that Indah's blood pressure will rise and her health will be affected because of her anger.

"Father, let me take you," Aiden followed Galih towards the door.

"Are you happy now? Do you want to use the tape to embarrass me?" Galih said angrily.

Aiden just stared at him in silence. The more angry Galih is, the more he is convinced that Galih wants to hide something.

"No one knows Agnes better than you. I've already sent several people to investigate her. At first, I was just suspicious, but now I'm sure," Aiden said coldly.

Galih looked at him in surprise. "I don't understand what you're talking about. Agnes is my niece."

"I know who she is and you know too. I didn't say it because I knew how serious this matter was. I don't want Anya to be separated from her father after she meets her parents," when Aiden said this, Galih froze in place as if unable to move.

"Aiden ..."

"I don't like seeing my wife being treated like this. I will never let anyone hurt her, even if it's her own father. Anya and I don't need your family, we don't need your wealth nor the power behind your last name," Aiden said coldly.

"You want to protect Agnes, but Agnes doesn't care about Anya. I don't know what she gave Reza that the bastard refused to open his mouth up to this moment. Without solid proof, I can't do anything to Agnes. If you continue to protect her, it's the same as hurting Anya. But let me remind you again. Never challenge me, because I won't stay silent." Aiden didn't care even though this man in front of him was his father-in-law. If it weren't for Anya, he would have resolved this matter quickly.

Galih had failed to educate his own daughter. Just look at what happened to Keara.

He is a reliable and successful businessman, but he is not a good father for Anya nor a good husband for Indah. He continues to make Indah and Anya feel sad.

"Agnes has already lost her life once. I've spoken to her. She just wants to live in peace. Why can't you accept her?" Galih said bitterly. "She's lost her mother since childhood..."

"Then what does your wife's years of hard work and sacrifice mean?" Aiden felt Galih was too naive. Would it be meaningless if someone raised a child that's not their own?

This time, Galih finally stopped hiding everything.

"Indah was very kind to Keara. But whenever she missed Anya, she would avoid Keara. Keara didn't even know what's wrong. She didn't understand why her mother suddenly ignored her. I couldn't say anything because I knew my wife was also sad because she lost her real daughter. How could I forbid her to be sad?" Galih took a deep breath. "All of this is my fault. I can't protect them well."

Aiden didn't feel sorry for Keara. She got all the love that should have belonged to Anya. But even so, she still wanted everything Anya had. She didn't even want to let Anya live in peace.

"Right. All of this is your fault. You lost your daughter, you can't take care of your wife and educate your daughter. You couldn't teach her properly that she grew up selfish and only cared about herself," said Aiden.

"Keara told me that she changed the DNA test results because she was afraid that Anya would take all the love from me and Indah. She didn't tell Natali to shoot Anya either, but her assistant. It was too late to stop it. I know Keara took things to the extreme sometimes, but she couldn't be that bad…"

Aiden snorted coldly. "If you believe that she's good, then that's on you. But should you force us all to forgive her and trust her again like you, after what she'd been doing all this time?"

The man rarely showed his anger so openly since he had always been cold towards others. But he thought Keara had gone too far. "Do you know what Keara has done? She killed my unborn child… Anya's child! Keara wanted to take Anya's life and she almost died from the shooting. Do you think I can forgive her just like that? Has it ever crossed her mind to let us live in peace? After regaining her new life, she ordered Reza to kidnap Anya instead. Have you ever thought about our feelings? Damn…"

"Aiden, what do you want to do?" Galih had a bad feeling.

"If she dies a second time one day, it means she'll die by her own hands. I won't do anything to her, I won't kill her. But if she wants to die, I won't help her." Aiden stopped walking. "Go away, I won't take you."

Galih looked worried. "I will meet her and persuade her to leave. Please give me some time and don't do anything to her. Think about Anya. You don't want her to separate from me and see her father go to jail, do you?"
