Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO Chapter 71
Advertisement
"Solve the problem with this woman as quickly as possible. Even if you don't want to marry Natali Tedjasukmana, you must not have anything to do with this woman."
Bima's words kept ringing in Anya's ears, erasing her appetite. She just poked her food while glancing occasionally at Aiden, wondering if that man would divorce her right now.
"I won't divorce you just because of someone else's words!" Aiden didn't want any misunderstanding between them so he immediately explained. Aiden's words instantly calmed Anya's mood.
It seemed that Aiden could guess Anya's way of thinking. Prior to Bima's arrival to their house, Anya was so hungry that her stomach made a rattle. However, after the commotion caused by Bima, the woman suddenly lost her appetite and looked gloomy. She just played with her spoon and fork on the plate, stabbing her food without putting it in her mouth.
Anya looked like she wanted to ask Aiden something but decided to swallow her question back.
She didn't have the courage to ask it
After their dinner ended, Aiden and Harris went straight to the study to discuss work matters, while Anya returned to her room with a worried face.
The same thoughts continued to run through her mind. Was she really Keara's replacement? Was Aiden being nice to her because of this face? But there was no other reason why Aiden was being so nice to her other than because of her face that resembled Keara.
Even after taking a shower, Anya still couldn't sleep. Her eyes seemed completely wide open, completely unwilling to close. She laid on the bed staring at the ceiling of the room, but her brain seemed to keep spinning and wouldn't stop thinking. Finally, she took out her cell phone and wrote an anonymous post on the internet.
'I just found out that my husband's ex-lover has a face similar to mine. Am I just a substitute?'
She wanted to know the opinions of other people out there. Perhaps, what people said about the matter could calm her down. In less than five minutes, someone immediately answered.

'I think your husband still can't get over that woman. No doubt you are only her replacement!'
Seeing that answer, Anya immediately felt heartbroken! She could feel her heart breaking, seeing that other people thought the same as her. Her heart felt a little panic. She'd hoped that posting this would help her calm her mind, but instead it added to her anxiety.
As she was deep in her confusion, other people began to flock to leave answers to her post.
'A man's first love is very complicated and hard to forget. Looks like he really can't forget his former lover.'
'No one wants to be a substitute for someone else. Instead of continuing to misunderstand, you better ask your husband straight away.'
'Maybe he did it unconsciously. Maybe his actions were influenced by psychological problems so that he made you a substitute for his former lover. Psychological problems like that exist in this world.'
'You are married. You should love each other because of yourself. You are you, not someone else just because your eyes, nose and lips are similar to other women. If your husband still likes that woman, you better get a divorce!'
'An ex-lover is like a high wall that is difficult to pass and a shadow difficult to erase.'
'Why are you still asking? Isn't that obvious?'
Answer after answer began to emerge, but nothing could make her heart feel calmer. Instead, they were like thousands of arrows piercing her heart, making her chest feel tight. She didn't want to see them again!
Anya took a deep breath when she saw the answers and threw her phone on the bed then closed her eyes. It felt like her brain was going crazy!
She really wanted to run into Aiden's study and ask him who Keara was. Was she a replacement for Keara in Aiden's heart?
At that moment, the sound of knocking on the door was heard, "Anya, are you sleeping?" Hana's voice came from outside.

Anya rushed out of bed and opened the door for Hana, "Mrs. Hana, what's wrong?"
Hana just smiled and nodded, "I want to discuss something with you." She could see the worry and anxiety in Anya's eyes so that her motherly instincts kicked in. She had spent time with Anya since Anya married Aiden so that she felt quite close to Anya. Hana took the initiative to calm Anya's anxiety.
Anya's eyes sparkled when she heard Hana's words. If she couldn't ask Aiden directly, maybe she could ask Hana who really Keara was.
"Let's just go to the park." Anya said.
Hana nodded and followed Anya towards the park. Arriving at the garden terrace, Anya looked around first, making sure no one was there. The two of them sat on one of the chairs facing the garden. There were only garden lights that illuminated the place so the atmosphere was a little dim.
After she made sure no one could hear their conversation, Anya asked Hana, "Mrs. Hana, who is Keara really?"
"Miss Keara is Mr. Ivan's fiancée, Mr. Aiden's half-brother." Hana said calmly.
"Huh?" Anya looked surprised. This answer was very different from what she had imagined!
Hana chuckled when she saw Anya's reaction, "Do you think Miss Keara is Mr. Aiden's ex-lover?"
Anya could only smile shyly while scratching her head which didn't feel itchy at all. She felt a little embarrassed because that was what she thought. She'd inclined to her prejudice, without knowing the truth.
After confirming Keara's identity, Anya felt calmer. Then, she remembered Aiden's words saying that his father made him like this.
"Mrs. Hana, Did Aiden's father have something to do with his eyes?" Anya asked worriedly.
Hana looked uncertain. Should she tell Anya this? But seeing Aiden's closed nature, Anya would never know this story from his mouth. And she felt a little sorry for Anya for not knowing anything even though her current status was Aiden's wife.
"Last year, Mr. Aiden was kidnapped and the kidnapper asked for one billion ransom. Mr. Bima did not want to pay for it and immediately called the police. The police rushed to find Mr. Aiden and found him in a warehouse. However, the warehouse was filled with barrels of oil. I don't know who shot first, but suddenly the warehouse exploded." Hana said, sadness filled her voice, "That's why Mr. Aiden's condition is like this."
Anya's hand rose, unconsciously closing her mouth. She did not expect Aiden to experience such a terrifying tragedy. Kidnapping! Explosion! All of that left him paralyzed and blind…
"Aiden was angry because his father didn't want to pay the ransom. He feels that his father is more concerned with money than his son's life." Anya sighed. The more property a person had, the less willing that person would be to lose his property. They would naturally grow stingy, to some extent.
Hana frowned. She didn't know why Aiden was hiding his recovering sight, even from Anya. Or maybe Anya already knew, but kept it a secret from everyone? She had no idea.
Since Aiden didn't want to tell her, she could only follow Aiden's wish now.
"Anya, Aiden is not an ordinary person. He is very strong. His leg, which was sentenced to be paralyzed, was able to walk again. I'm sure his eyes will heal too. We have to believe in him!" Hana said.
Anya nodded excitedly when she heard Hana's words, "We'll always be beside him until Aiden recovers."
Anya would always be beside Aiden. She would try to help him whenever possible. She would try to repay all the kindness that Aiden had given her.
Anya would be by Aiden's side until his eyesight was completely restored.
