Chapter 11：Revenge (1/2)

”Marry me.”

Anya looked at Aiden with her mouth agape. She was sure her ears were having trouble. Or maybe she was hallucinating? Looked like she was too exhausted today so her brain was not right. How could Aiden propose to her?

She scratched her head even though it didn't itch. She felt a little stupid, thinking that this handsome, super rich and mysterious man had just proposed to her.

Aiden watched Anya's every move, waiting for her reaction. However, it seemed that Anya did not hear what he said, or maybe she could not believe what she heard. Hence, Aiden decided to make it clear one more time.

”Marry me and I will help you,” Said Aiden for the second time.

Only then did Anya realize that she had heard correctly. Aiden did propose to her!

”But ... but ...” Anya stuttered. She didn't think that something like this would happen so she didn't know what to react to. Her mouth opened, closed and opened again because she didn't know what to say.

After confirming that Anya truly understood his intentions, Aiden was silent. He waited until Anya could digest the current situation. He knew that his sudden proposal was a great shock to Anya.

Meanwhile, Anya took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. She was completely flustered and her mind was in chaos, as if Aiden had just sent a tidal wave that had ravaged her mind.

She racked her brain, trying to find out what the man in front of her was thinking. But she still didn't understand why Aiden had proposed to her all of a sudden. She had come to ask Aiden for help, but this was not what she thought of. What did this man want?

”Why are you asking me to marry you?” She asked.

Actually, Aiden himself didn't know why he proposed to Anya in this way. All he knew was that he only wanted to protect Anya. He didn't want anything to happen to her. He wanted to make sure that Anya would always be safe, and that the only safe place was with him.

He didn't know how to explain all this to Anya. Plus, Anya didn't remember it at all. He could only let that feeling hide tightly in his heart. He was the only person known to this feeling.

Seeing Aiden not answering his question, Anya said, ”But marriage is something sacred. Marriage is not something that can be used as a game.”

”I'm not playing around,” Aiden replied curtly.

”I want to take responsibility for what I did last night.” Aiden replied. Only the events of that night could Aiden use as an excuse.

Remembering that night, Anya's face immediately turned red. In fact, all of this was her fault. It was her own fault that she entered someone else's room and asked for help from that man under the influence of the medicine given by Natali. But Aiden was heartened and wanted to take responsibility for his actions.

”It's not your fault,” Anya said softly, ”It's all because ...”

Anya was silent and looked down. She remembered that the person who caused all this was Natali, Aiden's fiancé. How could she possibly tell Aiden that his own fiancée had done this to him?

Aiden glanced at Anya who suddenly fell silent and did not finish her sentence. He knew what Anya was thinking. The woman was so gentle and kind that she didn't want other people to feel hurt. Anya didn't dare finish her words because she was afraid that Aiden would get hurt.

”I'm sure you already know who did it,” Aiden said.

Anya looked up, seeing Aiden's still calm face. She immediately understood that Aiden also knew who had done all this.

”Do you know why Natali did all this?” She asked, ”Natali is your fiancée. Why would she do this to her own fiancé?” She spoke of the question quietly as if speaking to herself. That question still bugged Anya's mind and until now, she had not got the answer yet.
