Chapter 92 - Heartache (1/2)

”Three years ago, my mother fell ill and I needed money. When Raka's mother found out about my mother's illness, she gave me money so that I would leave Raka. Raisa is right, I took the money from their family.” Anya said softly.

”Mrs. Mahendra gave the money in the form of a check and I didn't understand how to withdraw it so I asked Raisa's help to do it. That's how Raisa found out about the money.” She added.

”And the money?” Aiden asked.

Anya was silent for a moment as if thinking about what to answer. No matter what Anya said after this, Aiden was sure she would lie to him. Why didn't Anya want to tell him the truth?

”For my mother's treatment.” Anya answered carefully. She looked closely at Aiden's face, feeling a little afraid of the man. Anya's heart ached as she recalled what happened three years ago. Her eyes were slightly teary but she struggled with all her might to keep her tears from spilling.

Aiden did not have the heart to expose Anya's lies, but his face also looked gloomy, ”Don't get in touch with the Mahendra Family anymore.” In the end, that was all Aiden could say.

Anya nodded and continued eating. Meanwhile, Aiden got up from his seat and moved to the sofa in the room.

Anya looked at Aiden leaving his seat with a sad face. She knew Aiden was mad at her. Did Aiden know she was lying?

She sat at the dining table in silence, stirring the soup with her spoon. It felt like her appetite had disappeared.

Three years ago, she did receive the check from Raka's mother. But before she could bring the money to the hospital, she was robbed. Her robber took her money and also kicked her body and legs so that she could not walk for more than half a month.

Anya couldn't understand Raisa's way of thinking. She knew that the robber must have something to do with Raisa because in the end, the money fell into Raisa's hands. However, she still pretended as if Anya had accepted the money. She also kept trying to destroy Anya's reputation whenever she had the chance.

Anya could feel the rage that slowly built inside her heart. She never did anything she was accused of. She never seduced Aiden. She was not the third person between their engagement. Still, everyone thought of her as a cheap woman.

She did not get to use the money given by Raka's mother, but everyone trusted Raisa and thought that she was a gold digger.

She didn't bother Raka and didn't see him again after they separated, but everyone thought she was chasing Raka because she wanted his treasure.

No one believed that Natali did all this to her.

Nobody knew that three years ago Raisa was the one who robbed her.

No one believed that Raka was the one who kept chasing her. She had tried to explain and cut ties with Raka, but Raka kept coming to her, making everyone misunderstand her.

Anya raised her head, looked at Aiden who was sitting on the sofa, ”Aiden, I ... I accidentally saw the document on your desk.” Said Anya in a low voice.

”What documents?” Aiden asked.

Anya pressed his lips tightly. She hesitated, but decided to confess, ”You're investigating the check.”

”Why did you tell me about that document?” Aiden replied, looking at Anya's worried face.

”I know you don't like other people to lie to you. I don't want to lie to you!” Anya got up and walked towards the sofa.

She stood in front of Aiden, her hands clasped together, showing her current uneasiness, ”I don't want to lie to you, but I can't tell the truth. I don't know what to do.” Her eyes filled with tears. Anya held back her tears while biting her lip.

Aiden held out his hand for Anya and Anya accepted it. She let Aiden pull her body into his arms.

”Aiden, I… I feel sad. I don't know what to do.” Anya sobbed when she said this.
