Chapter 92 - Heartache (2/2)

She wanted to hide Raisa's crimes. But the more she thought about it, the angrier she felt. She felt she did not deserve to be treated like this. Why should she help Raisa?

However, she wasn't aware that Aiden already found out what happened. Still, Anya decided to lie to him. Anya defended Raisa, and her main goal was so that Raka wouldn't find out about this.

Aiden didn't care to whom the money was returned, be it Raka's mother or Raisa. What was more important was that Anya and Raka had separated because Raka thought Anya received the money from his mother.

Aiden must not reveal that secret. He would let Raka misunderstand all of this forever.

If Raka found out that Anya did not accept the money, Raka would blame himself and continue to chase Anya out of guilt. Aiden didn't want to see that so he let Anya lie.

”What can I do for you?” Aiden lowered his head and kissed her forehead gently.

Anya's eyes turned red when she thought of the frustration she had been hiding all this time, ”That check. The check from the Mahendra family, it is true that I received it. At first, I wanted to take it to the hospital to pay for my mother's hospital fees. But I was robbed on the way.”

”I know.” Aiden replied.

Anya looked at Aiden in surprise, ”What else do you know?”

”I know your leg was injured so you couldn't walk for half a month. I know you don't have money to go to a doctor so you just treat it with oil.” He replied.

”I also know you called Raka's mother and said that the check was stolen, but Raka's mother didn't believe you and insulted you as a greedy woman.” Aiden continued.

”I know you called the police, but there is no name on the check so you can't prove the check is yours. The police don't want to help you investigate it. Who took the money?”

Aiden said all the things he knew one by one. Hearing the words that kept coming out of Aiden's mouth, Anya felt her eyes stinging even more. She couldn't hold back her tears anymore. Her tears rolled down her cheeks.

Aiden raised his hand and wiped the tears that rolled down Anya's cheeks. He hugged Anya's body tighter and kissed her cheek, wiping away the tears one by one.

”Anya, don't cry.” He whispered softly.

”The day after that, Raka went abroad.” Anya lifted her head, tears still streaming down her face, ”I really needed it at that time, during the toughest times of my life. But now everything is finished. I hope you keep this a secret for me.”

”Very well.” Aiden replied.

Anya hugged Aiden tightly and buried her face in the man's chest, ”It's fine that Raka misunderstood me, but I hope you don't think of me as a woman who is hungry for wealth. I don't want your money. I just need money for my mother's treatment. I can work to pay for my tuition and pay for my own life.”

”Anya, I know what kind of woman you are and I have never looked down on you. I agree that you go to work because that is your dream. You don't have to support yourself and pay your own tuition fees. Because I will do it for you.” Aiden's eyes were filled with tenderness as he looked at Anya.

Anya was deeply touched. Her tears were flowing because her heart was moved by Aiden's kindness, ”Aiden, why are you so nice to me?”

Aiden's usually cold eyes looked warm when he looked at Anya, ”Because you deserve the best and I believe I am the best for you.”

”Aiden ...” There was one more thing that Anya expected from Aiden. She hoped Aiden saw her as Anya, not Keara.

She hoped that Aiden's tenderness was given to her, the real her, and not because of her face that resembled Keara's.

For the first time, Anya felt pain in her heart…
