Chapter 11:Revenge (2/2)
”I know.” That was all Aiden's answer.
Anya's eyes widened, 'Aiden found out why Natali did this!'
She paused and waited for Aiden to say it, but it seemed the man had no intention of explaining it to her.
”I can help you pay for all of your mother's hospital expenses. I can also help you to get revenge on the person who did this to you.” Aiden assured her.
Anya was pensive after hearing Aiden's words. 'Revenge…'
Never once did she think of seeking revenge. She also came to Natali only to demand an explanation as to why Natali did all this to her. She looked for Aiden and found him because she wanted to ask Aiden for help to support her mother, not to take revenge on Natali.
But Anya recalled what Natali did to her. She remembered Mona's treatment when she tried to ask Natali for an explanation. Mona had beaten her up without giving her a chance to defend herself.
She remembered the news that was shown by Mona. Her name and photo were included in the widely circulated news. She was labeled a cheap woman, a woman who had seduced and cheated on someone else's fiancé.
Anya felt that all this treatment was unfair. She didn't deserve this kind of treatment.
Did she want to take revenge on those people?
”But I...” Doubts still haunted Anya's heart. Marriage was not something trivial. Marriage was not a game that could be used as a tool of revenge. She would spend her entire life with one man and worse, she didn't even love the man in front of her.
Was it worth trading her freedom for all of this?
Aiden could clearly see the doubt on Anya's face. She knew that Anya was uncertain because she had to marry someone she didn't know. The woman hesitated because she had to marry a man she didn't love.
This made Aiden even more sure that Anya was not pretending. Anya really didn't know him! That woman really didn't remember anything! He would ask Harris to find out what really happened to Anya that the woman had forgotten about him.
”The choice is yours,” Aiden said simply.
Aiden did not force Anya directly to marry him. His attitude just now made Anya feel scared. He didn't want to look too harsh so that it made Anya run away from him.
Even so, he did not give Anya another choice. He cornered Anya who really needed his help so that the woman would fall into his arms.
Anya stared intently at Aiden, trying to figure out what this man was really thinking. But Aiden looked back at her very calmly and expressionlessly, leaving Anya at a loss for what his true intentions were. This man was so mysterious.
Silence enveloped the room as the two of them sank into each other's gazes.
Anya knew that she had no other choice. Aiden was the only hope to pay for her mother's medical expenses.
She desperately needed this help, but she also couldn't just marry a stranger. She didn't know Aiden and didn't love him!
Should she marry a man she didn't love for money?
