Chapter 12:I’m Willing (1/2)
'Do I have to marry this man?'
This was the second meeting between Anya and Aiden. They didn't know each other and had never met before. You could say they both were strangers to each other.
Anya didn't know anything about Aiden. She didn't know his background, his family, let alone the man himself. She didn't know what kind of person Aiden was. She also didn't know what Aiden's true nature was like. What if Aiden wasn't a really nice guy?
”But we don't know each other. Why do you want to marry me?” Asked Anya softly, not daring to express her opinion to Aiden.
Aiden tried to hold back the resentment in his heart. He didn't like it when he heard that the woman in front of him didn't remember him.
”You need my help and I also have my own plans. Is that reason enough for you?” Aiden calmly replied.
'Plan? What plan did Aiden mean?'
”What plan?” Anya asked back.
Aiden looked straight at Anya, but not a single word came out of his lips. His mouth was tightly closed as if he didn't want to tell Anya what he was thinking.
Was it possible that Aiden wanted to take revenge on Natali because his fiancée betrayed him? Was that why Aiden wanted to use it as a weapon to make Natali feel the same way he did?
Actually, Anya felt reluctant to do all this. She didn't want to marry a man she didn't love. But did she have any other options? This was the only way for Anya to save her mother. She had no other choice.
Only Aiden was the answer to all of her current problems.
She could only bow under Aiden's gaze, not daring to look at the man directly. Her hands moved restlessly. She didn't know what to say. Panic could be seen in her eyes as her face looked a little pale.
”Okay, I will marry you.” In the end, Anya decided to accept it.
It felt like something was stuck in her throat when Anya said those words. She had given her freedom to a man she didn't know. On the other hand, she felt relieved as if the heavy burden she carried on her shoulders seemed to have been lifted. At least, she didn't need to think about her mother's constantly inflated hospital fees. With this, her mother's medication and care would be guaranteed.
Aiden felt very happy when he heard Anya's answer, but he did not want to show his feelings openly. He just smiled faintly and nodded. His hands were tightly clenched at his side, not because he was angry or upset. He held back the urge in his heart so that he would not hug the woman in front of him. He didn't want to make Anya even more afraid and keep her distance from him.
Aiden immediately got up and took his cellphone on the big table. He left Anya confused and alone while he made several phone calls. However, his eyes were never far from the figure of the woman sitting on the sofa in his office.
After finishing, he stepped back to Anya and said, ”We will go to the registry office now to get the marriage documents.”
'Eh? Now?' Anya's head felt dizzy. She did not expect that everything would happen this fast, 'Isn't this too sudden?'
”Right now?” She asked in surprise.
