"Be honest with me, does Nadine's disappearance have anything to do with you?" Galih asked his daughter.

"I'm not involved. I really don't know where Nadine is, Dad! I really love Aiden. I used to be too naive and stupid that I ended up losing Aiden. I'm sure Aiden loves me too. If not, why would he marry a woman who looks like me?" Keara said while shedding tears.

​​

Galih looked at his daughter angrily. He didn't know how many times he tried to revive his daughter, but it seemed like Keara still didn't want to accept the reality. "It's just your thoughts. Aiden married Anya when he couldn't see. He did not know that Anya's face was similar to yours. What is your excuse?"

"I… Father, please help me! As long as I can get back to Aiden, I will do whatever it takes," Keara begged her father.

Galih did not answer his daughter. He called his assistant into the room. "Take Keara home. Starting today, she can't go anywhere without my permission!"

"Yes sir!" The assistant replied.

Keara bursted into tears in panic. "Father, how can you do this to me?"

"I did it for you!" Galih shouted.

"Father! What did I do wrong? Why did you do this to me?" Keara struggled and refused to leave.

"Your biggest mistake is not understanding your place," Galih waved his hand and his assistant took Keara away from the room by force.

Keara jerked her hand and pushed Galih's assistant hard. "Let me go. I can go alone!"

Galih sat in his chair and thought for a moment. Then, he decided to call Anya.

Anya just ordered food for her and Aiden. She was waiting for her food to be prepared when her cell phone suddenly rang.

Anya was stunned to see Galih calling her.

"Madame, please pick up the phone first. Let me wait for your food," Harris said.

"This is from Galih Pratama..." Anya's face seemed to have a complicated expression.

"If Mr. Galih asks about the company, you..." Harris lowered his voice and whispered some things Anya should remember.

Anya nodded after hearing all of Harris' suggestions. Then she picked up the call at the edge of a large window.

She had absolutely no idea that everyone in the room was staring at her.

"Isn't that Anya Tedjasukmana? Why did she come to the employee restaurant?"

"She was accompanied by Harris'. Looks like Mr. Aiden sent them here."

"Her face looks very innocent, but it turns out she is very wild. A seductive woman, cunning as a fox."

"It turns out that Mr. Aiden likes women like this, women with innocent looks but have cunning hearts."

"She is not just any woman. If she's not the one seducing Mr. Aiden, how would Mr. Aiden accepted her?"

"Can't you see? The woman's face and body are extraordinary. They said she was the most beautiful woman on campus. Mr. Aiden's choice of woman is truly extraordinary."

"Isn't Keara Pratama also beautiful? Then why did Mr Aiden prefer Anya?"

"What do you mean? Does Keara want to go back to Mr. Aiden?"

"I heard that Mr. Aiden chose Anya because she is similar to Keara. Just look at her face, they really have striking resemblance. Unfortunately, Anya doesn't have a good family background."

"She's just a substitute."

"I would be willing to be a substitute if only I had a face like that!"

"You would, but Mr. Aiden wouldn't!"

"Stop gossiping. Harris saw us," several female employees who were gossiping realized that Harris' cold gaze was sweeping over them, making them immediately shut up.

Anya was not as strong as she seemed. Her heart was really fragile and she had a lot of distrust about relationships and romance.

After all, she came from a divorced family. Plus, the reason for the divorce was because of the third woman. Not to mention she never received affection from her father.

All her experiences so far made her feel unconfident of herself.

When she was with Aiden, she was under a lot of pressure, feeling that she was not worthy of Aiden. If the words of the female employees reached Anya's ears, Anya would have felt very uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Harris immediately helped his strong and brave madame. Anya was different from most women. She really loved Aiden with all her heart.

Aiden did not know what Anya had done behind his back to be with him.

A while ago, Bima didn't embarrass Anya at his birthday party. Although he was not friendly towards Anya, he also did not openly show his displeasure.

Aiden thought it was all because he was protecting Anya. Aiden insisted in front of Bima so that his father would know that it was impossible to separate them. So in the end, his father was forced to accept Anya as his daughter-in-law.

Actually, that's not the reason…

Anya asked Harris to help her make a letter of agreement, to give her garden to Bima.

The letter even stated that when Aiden and Anya divorced, Anya would come out of Aiden's house without bringing anything.

Anya signed the letter because she never thought about how much property Aiden owned.

She just wanted to be with Aiden, live happily with the man she loved. If indeed Aiden didn't love her and asked to be separated, she would leave, without bringing a penny.

When she found out that Aiden made a lot of money every year and all of his property would be divided in half with Anya when they got divorced, Anya felt very guilty.

She understood why Bima told her to sign such an agreement.

That's because she came with nothing, and Bima was afraid she would go with all of Aiden's belongings.

That was why Anya asked Harris for help to meet Bima and sign the letter behind Adine's back.

She only asked Bima not to embarrass her in front of Aiden, in the hope that Bima and Aiden's relationship would improve.

Therefore, Anya was allowed to attend Bima's birthday party and even stayed for the first time at the Atmajaya Family house. The servants at the Atmajaya family house also acknowledged her identity as Aiden's wife and considered her the daughter-in-law of the house.

The female employees gossiping about Anya didn't know how much Anya struggled to be with Aiden. They didn't know that Anya was a good woman.

Not a seductive woman…

Not a cunning woman who relied on her beauty to get a man…

Just an ordinary woman, trying her best to be with the man she loved…

Anya knew that once she went down to an employee-only restaurant, someone would definitely talk about her.

Still, she had to work at this company. Sooner or later, she would have to face the same thing. Even though everyone was talking about her, she could only pretend to cover her ears.

She was standing at the window, answering the phone with a smile. She and Galih exchanged greetings politely before heading to the main topic.

"Keara said, you and Aiden are married. Is that right?" Galih asked.

"During my father-in-law's birthday party, Keara stayed at the Atmajaya family for a while and accidentally found out about it. Aiden canceled his engagement and I haven't graduated from college either, so we decided to hide it first. Please don't tell this to anyone," Anya said.

"I won't tell anyone. Congratulations on your marriage. Aiden is willing to marry you and give you his last name. That means he really cares about you,"

Anya was a special woman for Aiden.

When they were together Aiden's eyes rapidly recovered. That was enough as a proof. Even though the cause of his speeding recovery wasn't exactly known, it could be because of Anya too. All the miracles that Aiden experienced were thanks to Anya.

This kind of relationship was not a simple relationship that could be broken with the past. At least, Galih could understand this better than his daughter.

"Thank you. Is there anything I can help you with?" Anya asked.

"This morning, Aiden lowered the share price of the Pratama Family company and bought it. Maybe he'll do it again tonight. Can you help me to persuade him?" Galih asked.
