I'll Take What's Mine
2. You Are Not Anywhere but Always There

A noisy voice rubbed Aria's eardrum. The pungent aroma so pierced Aria's sense of smell. The woman tried to open her eyes. However, his eyes seemed heavy to open.

Aria prayed within herself and kept trying to open her eyes. He slowly opened his eyes slowly. The light immediately panned towards his eyes making him have to frown due to the glare.

“Aria…. You've realized son.”

Aria looked up and saw her mother crying. Then he closed his eyes because his head felt dizzy. As he closed his eyes, a shake of events when suddenly his car rolled directly hit him.

“Mother..”

“Ya, kid.”

“Where's Kanva?”

“Nak. Police and some bodyguards are looking for him.”

At once, Aria immediately tried to get out of bed but her mother forbade her.

“Nak, what are you doing?”

“Bu, should I find Kanva? I have to find my husband,” Aria said as she wept hugging her mother.

All day long, Aria just lay down and daydreamed. He was tired of physical, mental and sorrow. It's not appetite. His mother and mother-in-law had persuaded him to eat so that he could recover quickly but Aria refused.

A knocking sound was heard there and the door of the ward opened and displayed the figure of Yiren, Aria's best friend.

“Yiren..”.

Yiren immediately forbade Aria who would rise from her bed.

“Do not move, you are still on infusion.”

Yiren placed a pillow behind Aria's back. Yiren looked at Aria's puffy face, the trace of sadness was still visible quite clearly there.

“Yiren, has Kanva been found?”

“They are still looking for it?”

Aria looks very sad when she hears the same news as yesterday. Aria was really depressed. He looked down and covered his face with both hands.

“If I had known earlier, I would have banned him from going to the beach for his honeymoon. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have agreed..”.

Yiren hugged his best friend, giving him strength, support and comfort. “Aria, I believe Kanva will definitely be fine.

Aria still lowered her head and cried as if she had not heard Yiren's words at all. He felt all the recesses of his heart were very sick. He tried to say that all this was a dream but that was the reality he had to face.

Lady Candall stood by the door with her hands carrying the porridge from the house. He wiped his tears and entered the ward slowly. “Darling, I've cooked porridge for you. Eat with a lot.”

“I don't appetite now.”

News of Kanva's disappearance spread rapidly throughout the city. Media also covered Aidan and Franz looking for Kanva with a group of friends. Aidan even deployed half of Kanva's bodyguards and half of his bodyguards to deploy many helicopters to search for Kanva. Not only in the air, on the ground are also deployed.

After the news of Kanva disappeared, not only the people around her felt sad. Killian Group was also heavily affected. The stock price fell drastically. Board of directors meetings with directors of the company are held every day but they cannot cope with the situation that is happening or prevent things from getting worse.

It has been a month but there is still no news about the existence of Kanva Killian. Even everyone suspects that the chances of Kanva surviving are small. Because the Kanva jejas are completely invisible.

Same with Aria. Even though he has now been allowed to go home and yet Aria still seems to lose half her life. In just a few days, her weight dropped very fast. Aria is still recovering at home.

Yiren was filled with worry not only were Yiren all of Candall's extended family and also Killian.

“Aria, meal time.”

Aria still remained silent and continued to stare out the window.

“Aria, please don't be like this. How are you gonna find Kanva if you get sick again? Your body is already very thin.”

“Has Aria eaten?” Ask Mrs Candall.

“Iya.”

“Sgratitude.”

Silence enveloped Aria's room. He looked at their wedding photos that were plastered on the wall. They married quickly after Kanva proposed to her.

The sound of knocking made Aria immediately turn her head and there apparently Franz was standing at the end of the door.

“Why are you back now? Why don't you keep looking for him?”

Franz stepped into the room and stood beside Aria.

“The directors of the company called, saying that the company is in a mess right now. Madam Mudam you should take the eyebrows of the situation now that Young Master is not around. Otherwise, I fear the company will end up in the hands of others while we get carried away by looking for Young Master.”

“Why should I? Isn't there still a lot of brothers Kanva.”

“That nyonya..”.

Franz is convinced that Aria will not give up looking for Kanva unless she sees her corpse with her own eyes. Since Kanva is not around, Franz is confident that Aria will keep all of Kanva's assets safe.

“The Young Lady, Young Master has prepared a will before.”

“Testament? She is so young even we just got married how could she already make a will?”

“I don't know maybe because Young Master just wants to take precautions. I was next to him when he put it together. So I know the contents. It is said of his wish that all the assets under his name will be passed down to you. Because Mrs Killian has a portion of shares, Tuan Muda's mother gets the amount that has been set from the company every month.”

Aria instantly could not suppress her own saliva. He felt his throat hurt. Aria's tears came back.

“Then, what can I do?”

Franz immediately smiled at Aria's question.

At night, it was not as usual to lock themselves in a room. Aria out of the room.

“Aria!” Lady Candall was surprised to see her daughter. “Sayang...” Lady Candall immediately cried to see her daughter.

“Aria, don't worry. Kanva will be found soon. Now let's eat a meal. Look how skinny you are.”

...…....

The car that Aria was riding on was headed to Killian Group. There are many media reporters and tabloids. Franz got out of the car before opening the door for him. As Aria stepped out of the car, all the mud from the camera shot straight at her.

They were all bombarded with all sorts of questions.

“Is there any news about Kanva President?”

“Is it true, temporarily the company will be taken by you?”

“Are you married to Young Master Killian?”

Aria stopped her steps. After that the commotion that happened was quiet. Aria looked at the reporters before she focused on one of the cameras that was highlighting her.

“Kanva and I, married. We had a private party. For now, Kanva is still unaccounted for but I'm sure she's still alive. For company matters, I will hold a discussion with the board of directors before taking a decision for the next step. Thank you.”

When Aria returned to walk all the reporters paved the way for Aria while Franz and the bodyguards walked behind her to escort her to the meeting room.

All the directors were present in the room and discussed amongst themselves while waiting for Aria's arrival.

“Yona Young has come,” said Franz as he pushed the door open slowly.

As soon as Aria entered, the board of directors rose from their seats one after another. Aria stood on the empty seat reserved for her.
