Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO Chapter 13
Advertisement
As soon as their elevator reached the lobby, Aiden and Anya immediately stepped out. Everyone in the lobby immediately stopped whatever they were doing and immediately saluted Aiden.
Anya felt awkward seeing everyone looking down at her. Even though those people didn't pay attention to her, she was currently walking with Aiden so she was also the center of everyone's attention.
When she glanced at the receptionist, the woman who had refused his arrival was gone. Anya did not know that the receptionist had lost her job because she was being polite to her.
As she stared at the reception desk, a man rushed over to Aiden. The man's face was handsome with minus glasses in his eyes, making him look smart. He looked very neat from head to toe, not a single strand of hair came out of the order. He was tall and nearly matched Aiden's height. In contrast to Aiden's white skin like a stranger, this man's skin was olive yellow, showing the thickness of his Indonesian blood.
The man immediately bowed before Aiden. Unlike the others, Aiden responded to the man by tapping him on the shoulder, causing the man to straighten up.
"Harris, let's go now," said Aiden.
"Yes sir." Harris replied immediately.
Hearing that name, Anya immediately realized that this man was Harris, Aiden's personal assistant and confidant. In a way, Harris was Aiden's right hand man.
Harris noticed Anya's presence and nodded his head slightly. Anya nodded back and followed Aiden back to his car.
A luxurious black car stopped right in front of the three of them as they waited in the lobby. Before they could take a step, someone walked out of the driver's door. That person was Abdi, Aiden's driver who was ordered to pick up Anya this morning.

The middle-aged man immediately opened the door for Aiden and Anya, while Harris stepped toward the front passenger seat. When he looked at Anya, Abdi smiled in a friendly manner, "Please, sir, miss."
Anya returned the smile warmly, "Thank you, sir. Sorry for this morning. "
Abdi only nodded briefly. He did not dare to linger and buy time for his boss. He immediately closed the door and got back into the driver's seat
After entering, Anya was immediately amazed when she saw the inside of the car. The car was very luxurious. Although his father also had many luxury cars lined up in his garage, none of her father's cars was the equivalent of Aiden's car. There was even a screen separating the driver and passenger sections in the middle.
She sat very upright, fearing she would accidentally touch something and broke it. If something was broken, she won't be able to replace it.
As she sank into her amazement, her eyes subconsciously fell on Aiden. The man was closing his eyes, looking exhausted. Even with his eyes closed, Aiden's face still looked extraordinarily handsome as if beautifully carved by well-known craftsmen.
She would marry this handsome man. Wasn't this like a dream come true?
Looks, wealth, power… What didn't this man have? Any woman would bend her knees before this man, begging him to marry her. But this man chose her instead.
Supposedly, Anya felt that she was the luckiest woman in the world because she was one that this extraordinary man chose. However, unfortunately Anya did not love him.
….
The marriage registration process happened very quickly. Anya held her marriage book in disbelief. She was pensive while holding the book, her eyes seemed unfocused.
She opened the book and saw that her and Aiden's photos had decorated it. Her brain couldn't digest that she was married.

She was married!
With Aiden Atmajaya!
"We will pack all the things in your house," Aiden said, breaking Anya's reverie.
Anya looked up, seeing Aiden who said it while closing her eyes.
"Ah ... But ..." Anya couldn't digest all the things that were happening so fast. Wasn't their marriage just a contract marriage? Should she also live with Aiden?
'Contract marriage…'
They were married only because of their own interests.
Harris initially opposed this marriage because Aiden was in a disadvantaged position. Aiden had to spend a lot of money to pay for Anya's mother's hospital fees, but what Anya could give him in return?
In the end, Anya offered her mother's flower garden as a guarantee that she would surely pay her debt someday. After all her debts are paid off, she would be free again.
Meanwhile, Aiden was satisfied with Harris's decision. With the flower garden as a guarantee, Anya would become more attached to him and would not be able to escape from his grasp.
Aiden just looked at Anya with a raised eyebrow.
Anya could only be silent and shut her mouth tightly. Right now, all she could do was follow Aiden's words and orders. She owed this man a debt of gratitude and would do her best to help this man so that she could pay all her debts.
After arriving at his house, Anya hurried downstairs and packed up. She was assisted by Harris and Abdi while Aiden waited in his car.
She entered her room and took out a bag to pack all his belongings. Anya did not have too many things. Most of her belongings were old stuff because she didn't have money to shop or buy anything new.
She kept her mother's things neatly arranged at home, hoping that one day her mother would come back. The longest pictures of her and her mother filled the entire house, making the house warm and full of love. Only these photos were the treasure she had.
After everything was done, Abdi helped Anya carry her bag into the car. Meanwhile Anya locked the door of her house as if she was leaving the house.
This time, Anya would leave the house for quite a long time. Precisely so that she could pay off all her debts.
When she closed the door of the house, she wondered whether she could one day return to this house with his mother. Even though it was small and simple, there were too many memories in this house, making her miss those times.
Memories of when Anya and her mother tried to rise from adversity after the divorce of her parents…
Happy memories between the two of them ...
Sad memories of when her mother fell ill and made Anya have to struggle alone ...
And the present memories that were still freshly filled with tears, suffering and struggle.
Today, Anya closed the door of her house feeling scared and happy too.
She was afraid to imagine a future that was not clear, but also happy because she did not have to walk alone anymore.
Maybe she didn't love Aiden, but at least she didn't have to face it all alone now. Aiden would help her through all of this. Aiden would carry some of the burden in her heart.
At least, there would be someone who was always beside her.
Now, her name was no longer Anya Tedjasukmana, but Anya Atmajaya.

The Bettor's Oath [A Dark-Modern LITRPG]
We live in a world where the rabbit’s foot helped win the game. Following that logic, tell me, what happens when the odds are flipped against the strong and a god rises to give the weak their right for revenge?~Last segment of the First Monarch's speech before the Lablanca battle. Lothar Ardolf, an alcoholic 27 years old high school teacher, was one of the many men who failed to catch up to life.When everyone around him worked to leave a mark behind, he idled away between states of short sobriety and static numbness, hoping that one day everything would resolve itself. It took little to wake him up. Only a life, soul, and body changing experience.Thrust into a world of cheap power and tyrannical governments, where a man could rival what is true and alter what is false, he was tasked by an elusive being with befalling titans.He wakes up in a prison with a path laid in front of him; one that would challenge all the resolve he has and more. Intertwined in a convoluted scheme of politics and old grudges, he will need to learn how to wield his new powers in order to escape before the secrets of the prison threaten to unravel him.However, he shortly realizes that his new faded fantasy was not a fairy tale. All that awaits him in the end, for standing against the world, is death. That is, if the three sided coin lands on heads. If it lands on tails... The shadowbane army rises. ...... This story is a neo-noir dark LITRPG in a world similar to earth. Take the tags seriously. I've been working on this project for 6 months and my MC is a bit unconventional, so I'm excited to introduce you all to him. Beware, it will be a slow-burn, so please be patient. The main plot will start to kick up at around chapter 15. I will be writing about racists, rapists, cultists and horrible humans. I do not condone or excuse their behavior or choice of words but the first arc will be in a prison and (some) prisoners don't mince their words. My MC doesn't adapt to the new world immediately because that is not realistic at all. It takes time and because of his personality, it will take more than a system to convince him to do someone else's bidding ;) Each chapter will have around 3000+ (give or take) words. I will be updating 2-3 times a week (depending on how busy I am with work and/or college) when I'm done publishing my backlog (Which is very big, 40,000+ words). **Each comment gets rep! Cover art by @tahraart on Instagram. Link to discord: https://youtu.be/91wX0NRjJqg Have a good one, Pistol. **** THE STORY IS ON TEMPORARY HIATUS. WE WILL BE BACK IN 2 MONTHS. SORRY EVERYONE.
