BXBX NOVEL Chapter 61 - Love Triangle
"Whatever you heard is true. I am the third person between Aiden and Natali." Said Anya coldly. Her eyes were not like the eyes of the woman Raka knew before. In the past, her black eyes looked very warm when she looked at him. However, at this moment, Anya was looking at him coldly.
"I don't believe it. I know you are not like that." Raka shook his head and looked at Anya in disbelief. He knew very well who Anya was. He knew very well what kind of woman she was because they'd spent their childhood and adolescence together.
Anya smiled calmly when she heard Raka's words even though her heart was beating very fast, "Raka Mahendra, don't think you know me well." She didn't expect her voice to be so calm. She thought she would sound trembling because she could not control the anxiety she felt.
"I know you. You will not sell yourself for money." Raka met Anya's gaze with such an agonizing look in his eyes.
Anya could taste the bitterness in her mouth. Raka was right, she would never sell herself for money. Even if she had to fight tooth and nail once, still she would not make money that way.
She was currently with Aiden because of Natali's actions. But everything had reached this point. Anya could only think that this was fate. All of this was the path she had to undergo. Then, what could she do now?
Aiden kept looking at Raka. His eyes were cold as ice as he glared at the man in front of him, "Where were you when Anya needed you?"
Those words were like a knife slicing through Raka's heart. He was not there when Anya needed him. He couldn't do anything for Anya when she was in trouble so that Anya was caught in a situation like this. Therefore, he was determined to free Anya!
"Anya, come with me. If you need money, I can give it to you. Don't be with this man. Even though he and Natali have separated, he will not marry you. You will not get anything good from this man." Raka said, getting more emotional. He looked at Anya, trying to convince her to get away from Aiden.
Aiden snorted when he heard Raka's words. He looked at Raka and asked sharply, "Then, will you marry Anya?"
Raka was silent for a moment when he heard the question returned by Aiden. He did not expect Aiden to reply with the same question. After a while, he finally answered, "I will never make her sad. I will never hurt her."
Anya could feel her body tighten when she heard Raka's answer. Her little hands were clenched tightly until her fingers turned white, enduring the pain and anger that continued to build in her heart.
Anya was not stupid. She knew exactly what Raka meant. Raka wouldn't make her sad. The man wouldn't hurt her. But he would not marry her.
He asked her to leave Aiden and promised her money in exchange for that. However, his promises, just like before, were nothing but empty words.
Aiden looked at Anya's clenched fists. He immediately got up from his chair and held Anya's hand, asking her to let go of her fist. He didn't want Anya to hurt herself.
He didn't want Anya to get hurt.
The touch of Aiden's hand seemed to bring her back to her senses. She looked up and saw Aiden who was looking at her worriedly. His gazelle eyes looked very gentle. The man pulled her into his arms and kissed the side of her forehead gently as if trying to calm her emotions.
"Anya, I know you don't want to be with Aiden. If only I came back earlier, I would've definitely…" Raka couldn't finish his sentence. He was really sorry that he didn't come back earlier and looked for Anya.
"If you'd come back sooner, you would only give her money and make her your mistress. You would never introduce her to the public." Aiden replied sharply. He showed the truth to Raka, wanting that man to realize his abilities.
Anya's face turned pale. Her heart ached terribly. She knew what Aiden said was true. Raka could not give her anything but money.
"I will respect Anya and will not force her to become mine." Raka replied to Aiden's words.
Anya didn't want to hear all this anymore. She did not want to listen to Raka's arguments. She didn't want to hear what Raka said because the man couldn't promise her anything.
"Raka, we separated three years ago. It's none of your business with whom I'm in contact. It's none of your business how I live my life. Aiden never once forced me to do anything. I am the very lucky one to meet him and live with him." Said Anya while leaning her body on Aiden.
"Anya is mine. She is mine and only mine. If someone harasses her, don't blame me if I act harshly!" Aiden sternly asserted, his tone was irrefutable and threatening. He put his arm around her shoulder, wanting to protect her from anything in the world.
Meanwhile, Anya could only look at Raka with mixed feelings. She wanted Raka to leave this place immediately. She really didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore. Their relationship ended three years ago.
Raka knew what that gaze meant. If he insisted, Anya would be in trouble. But he was also reluctant to leave.
In the end, he decided to temporarily step down, "Then I'll go first. Goodbye!" Raka didn't say much and immediately turned around. He didn't look at Anya or Aiden again when he left the room.
…
Downstairs, Nico was anxiously waiting on the living room sofa. He kept moving here and there, unable to sit still as if he had a needle up his butt. As soon as he saw Raka coming down from the second floor, he rushed over to him, "Raka! What's the matter? Do you know Anya?"
Raka's face looked sour when Nico questioned him, "Anya is my ex-lover I told you." Raka said in a low voice.
"Why didn't you tell me something big like this first? I have sent a love rival to my own uncle. He will definitely beat me up later." A look of annoyance, anxiety, and pity mixed up on Nico's face.
He felt like he was in the middle of this love triangle. On the one hand, Aiden was his uncle. Aiden always helped him when he was in trouble. When he lost his father, it was Aiden who was always by his side. Aiden was like a father and brother to Nico. However, on the other hand, Raka was his best friend.
Why did he have to be in a complicated relationship like this?
"Let's go." Raka said, trying to remain strong.
"Eh? Wait a minute!" Shouted Nico as he chased Raka into the car. Raka didn't slow down at all. He really wanted to get away from that place. He wanted to forget how Anya was leaning in Aiden's arms, how that woman would end up defending other men.
Once they were in the car. Nico immediately demanded an explanation from Raka, "Raka! Tell me, what really happened?" Nico couldn't stop himself when there was something related to gossip. Moreover, this problem involved people closest to him.
Raka just sat silently in the front passenger seat as if he had lost half of his life. He was silent and said nothing, ignoring Nico's question.
"Do not make me worry! What is your true relationship with Anya?" Asked Nico again.
Raka just smiled faintly, "We are lovers. But three years ago, Anya received some money from my mother and cut ties with me. I immediately went abroad because I was very angry at that time…" Regret seemed to devour his heart.
Had he not gone...
