Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO Chapter 21
Advertisement
"Natali set me up! She spiked my drink and sent me to Aiden's room. Why should I be blamed for all the things I didn't do?" Shouted Anya, trying to defend herself from her father's accusation.
The voices of Deny and Anya grew louder and louder and attracted the attention of all visitors at the cafe, including Natali, who had indeed followed her father on purpose.
From her seat, Natali could hear Anya chanting her name. She knew Anya was not an idiot and that her half-sister must have known that she planned all this. Anya must have known that Natali was the one who trapped her.
But she didn't care. After all, Anya couldn't do anything. What could that woman do? Just this moment, everyone around looked at Anya in disgust. They all thought of Anya as a cheap woman who flirted with someone else's fiancé.
People's stares on Anya made Natali feel happy. She could hear those people whispering and insulting Anya secretly.
"Looks like I know the woman sitting there." Said one of the diners beside Natali's table.
"Which one?" Her friend asked, making the first woman to discuss this topic and point at Anya secretly.
"Eh! That's the woman in the newspaper because of the affair. The one who had an affair with Aiden Atmajaya!" Said one of the diners at the table beside Natali.
At the table, five girls with fashionable styles were chatting. Of course, these young women really liked to gossip, especially if it was related to a rich, handsome man. Seeing Anya's presence seemed to give them a hot issue for their topic and made them excited to discuss it.
"Ah! No wonder I've seen her face. Who was the man who fought with her?"
"Isn't that Deny Tedjasukmana? Natali's father? Surely that man is scolding a cheap woman who seduced his daughter's fiancé!"

"How can a father be willing to see his daughter sad? If I were her father, I would beat up that woman too. But, by the way, that woman is pretty too, huh?"
"Indeed, her face is beautiful. But what's the use of being pretty if she's so cheap."
The five of them continued to talk about the latest news, giggling and not realizing that Natali who sat beside them was also listening.
Hearing the insults directed at Anya, Natali felt a little satisfied. But there was one thing that kept hatred in her heart. The clothes and bags that Anya wore made her feel jealous. It seemed this was the right time to act!
When she rose from her chair, the group of women beside her turned their heads, as if they recognized her.
"Eh, isn't she..." Said one woman while nudging the friend beside her.
"Yes yes! She is Natali Tedjasukmana, the victim of this affair."
"It turns out that she is very beautiful. How can Aiden have an affair with someone else, even though he has a fiancee as beautiful as this."
"Eh, look! Looks like she will confront the woman in her fiancé's affair..."
"Looks like there will be a big fight."
"Let's record it! This news will absolutely go viral later!"
Natali pretended not to hear the words of those beside her but inwardly she was happy to have the support of the public. She felt conceited when other people called her beautiful.
'Good, good! Stand up for me and insult that woman. With this, Anya will suffer even more...'
She continued walking towards Anya. A look of sadness, anger and annoyance mixed up her face. Deny and Anya were so immersed in their bickering that they didn't even notice Natali's arrival. Natali took the opportunity to take a coffee glass in front of Anya. She spilled all the contents of the glass on Anya's clothes all of a sudden, making Anya startled because she did not notice her arrival.

Anya's brightly colored clothes were immediately stained. The limited-edition bag that Natali wanted was drenched in coffee and it became dirty. Deep down, she felt very satisfied seeing Anya's chaotic appearance. Still, she couldn't show it. She had to maintain her victim image. The victim of Anya and Aiden's affair.
With her great acting skills, she humiliated Anya in public with ease. It didn't take Natali long to drop an eye. Within seconds, tears began to flow down one by one down her beautiful face, making everyone in the room feel sorry for her.
"Why are you teasing my fiancé? What did I do wrong with you?" Said Natali softly with a sob. She looked at Anya with a look of disbelief as if she could not believe that someone would be this cruel to her, taking away her beloved fiancé. The scenario was truly extraordinary.
...
Natali was not the only one who followed Anya and Deny's meeting. There was another figure who also followed Anya's side. Indeed, Anya told Abdi to wait at the hospital, but that did not mean that the middle-aged man would leave Anya alone. He had been ordered by Aiden to watch over and guard Anya. That was why Abdi secretly followed Anya into the cafe. He kept his distance from Anya far enough that the woman did not know she was being followed.
His seat was quite far from Anya and his hearing had begun to weaken with age so that Abdi could not clearly hear all the talks of Anya and her father. Still, he could faintly grasp the core of their conversation, not to mention Deny's voice that grew louder and louder.
Deny asked Anya for help but Anya refused. That was all he knew.
However, over time Deny's voice became even higher. He attracted the attention of all visitors in the cafe. It was at that time that Abdi felt he should report this to Aiden.
"Sir, Madame is in trouble." Said Abdi after his telephone line was connected to Aiden.
"What's wrong?" Aiden asked.
"Looks like Mr. Deny is furious at Madame." Abdi answered.
From the telephone line, Aiden could faintly hear the noise of the crowd and commotion. The voice of Deny's scream was also heard, although it was not very clear.
Aiden heard the bustling atmosphere suddenly fell silent. The silence sent a bad feeling to his heart so that he immediately left his job and descended into the underground parking lot in his office with Harris. Fortunately, he always left one of his cars at the office for urgent purposes like this.
"I'll be right there." He said curtly and then hung up the phone.
After the phone call ended, Abdi felt confused. He didn't know what he could do at this time. He was just a driver. He had no right to interfere in the personal matters of Anya, his current employer. Aiden also ordered him just to keep an eye on Anya from afar. Besides, while reporting this incident to Aiden, the man did not give him any orders and only said that he would come to this place soon.
What should he do now?
It seemed that the only thing he could do was wait for his master to come. He could only hope that his master would come as soon as possible.

Dirge
All things are. We once dreamed of a sky filled with possibilities. Of neverending knowledge. But those were conceited times, filled with quibbling. Now we look up and fear the vastness. We fear that there’s no edge to infinity. Humanity pulled itself together. Not like you’d expect, not like you’d approve of, but the results are spectacular. We call ourselves Utopians now, to make it simple for our kin in the cosmos. We’ve moved out into the Omniverse, to unlimited resources, and to dominance over the weak. Not for gain, but to the ends of permanence and peace. The cessation of their suffering. At the apex, looking down on those confined, those unenlightened, we felt safe. So few stand shoulder to shoulder with us. Fewer yet of them are so united as we. Porter, a godkiller for the Eidolons, is out of the job. Christopher, a Magus in the Guild, has him a new one, but with motives questionable. Kendall, a failing student at the Monastery, has to deal with secrets he never wanted. Anna, her entire life just fell apart, leaving her bereft. And Doran, he awakens. Each of these people, connected as members of the Omniversal Utopian Commonwealth, are helpless to the dark truth closing in. Not even the artificial intelligence, Aku, keeper of all Utopian power, can stop the Ouroboros. It’s not a new dawn. The light is dying. Hold your breath and go gently.

(Re)Install
After his death, Garry, AKA Gaz, is summoned by a nameless goddess to another world and tasked with a very important mission, the main characters sets out to travel around in search of a way to accomplish his objectives and live happily ever after.The catch? The mission is to save the same goddess, who've been sealed away for all eternity in who knows where. Having little to no energy left, she was unable to create a decent blessing, so Gaz is left with a weak body in a savage world that he knows nothing about.Also, did i mention he wasn't reincarnated as a human? Neither as a beast? Well...His actual body might actually not be that bad. As long as he survives the first day, of course.-------------Okay, some of you might know from Insania Online, some don't, so might as well explain it here. This is a Re: (ish) style story, with a Scifi (ish) setting and some fantasy (ish) assets (precision is overrated). This is kind of a side project I will work while I take a break from insania.This is a crazy idea i had thanks to a certain game's trailer, and decided to write it. Even if it starts fairly serious, it will probably have a lot of wacky comedy, so don't say you haven't been warned and don't try to take it too seriously. Really. If you are expecting a dramatic and heavy story, this is very probably not what you want(who knows? I'm just starting it...).
