Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO Chapter 172

"If you can invite Natali and Raka, I'll let you." Aiden made a condition for Nico if he wanted to have a barbecue party at his house.
"Aiden, what do you want to do?" Anya's heart suddenly tightened as she stared at Aiden.
"Meet you with him." Aiden looked back at Anya. His eyes looked angry.
Anya thought for a moment, "Can you see me?"
"I can't see you, but I can feel that you are nervous. Are you worried that Raka and I will fight?" Aiden asked.
"If you invite Raka, Raisa will definitely come too. Plus Natali." Anya took a deep breath.
Aiden's eyes narrowed slightly, "It would be better if she came. Raisa owes you an apology. She has not apologized for her mistakes until now."
Nico looked at Aiden in fear, "Uncle, what do you want to do?"
"Nothing." Aiden replied. However, it was clear that his brain was up to something.
Nico cleared his throat and scratched his head. He laughed awkwardly and said, "Uncle, I suddenly remembered that I have to accompany my mother this weekend. We can't have a barbecue party."
Better he shouldn't have a barbecue than having a super awkward and unpleasant party.
"It's okay if you accompany your mother. I will ask Harris to invite the Mahendra Family and the Tedjasukmana Family to visit my house." Aiden's expression did not look joking at all. He really meant it.
"Uncle..." Nico realized that he was already in big trouble.
"Raka lived with you after being discharged from the hospital, right. Didn't he tell you why he left the hospital earlier?" Aiden's sharp eyes swept over Nico.
"He just said he had a fight with Raisa and didn't want to go home. He came to my house to rest there for a few days." Nico said innocently.
"Raisa made your aunt faint and put her on Raka's bed. Natali deliberately took me to Raka's hospital room to catch them. That's why I had a fight with your aunt!" Aiden told him everything in an annoyed voice.

Nico was startled when he heard that, "Was that really what happened? Why did Raisa dare to find trouble with Auntie? Didn't she just come out of prison?"
"Anya, you are too easy to get caught up in their plot. Raisa must be planning evil intentions on you." Aiden said, looking at Anya's face with tenderness.
During his fight with Anya, Aiden had not had time to get back at her for what she did to his wife. But that didn't mean Aiden would just let her go.
Anya only lowered her head and regretted her actions, "If I knew this would happen, I would not have accepted Raka's request to replace her apologizing in public. I should have left her in jail and suffered so that she would regret what she had done."
"If you are too kind to people who are mean to you, it is tantamount to giving them a chance to harm you again." Aiden lifted the ice plastic in his hand and stroked Anya's forehead gently, "Does it still hurt?"
"No." Anya answered slowly.
"Uncle, Raisa has gone too far this time. If there's something I can do, just tell me." Nico looked serious as he said it.
"Invite them over to the house to talk about it." Said Aiden.
Natali and Raisa had done something wrong so they wouldn't dare to come to Aiden's house. If only Raka came, wouldn't that be awkward?
Anya's forehead didn't hurt, but her head felt dizzy. Why did she help Nico and say she wanted barbecue? 'You idiot…' She muttered in her head.
Now, Aiden wanted to invite Raka and Natali. If they did come, the atmosphere would be really bad. How could she possibly swallow the meat that she grilled?
"Aiden, I've been feeling tired lately. My stomach feels uncomfortable too. I feel like my stomach can't eat barbecue." Anya coaxed carefully.
"If you don't want barbecue, we can eat western food." Aiden said casually.
Anya glared at Nico. All of this was because of Nico. Why would he want to throw a party at Aiden's house?

Now things had turned like this. She was really dizzy.
Nico just looked at Anya innocently. He didn't know the problem would turn out like this. At first, he thought that if he had a barbecue at his uncle's house, Tara wouldn't refuse because Tara and his aunt were close friends. He only intended to invite Tara.
"Aiden, how about we invite Tara this weekend. I don't like it when there are other people in our house." Anya hugged Aiden's arm and pleaded softly.
But this time, her seduction was useless.
"We have to teach Raka and Natali a lesson. Otherwise, we won't know what they plan to do next!" Aiden said firmly.
"Deny wanted to discuss a collaborative project with us. Just call him, Natali will surely come along. They will not be able to refuse." Nico suggested.
"Hmm…" Aiden nodded when he heard that.
Hearing her father's name, Anya thought about her mother's perfume formula. Although she had succeeded in persuading Aiden to cooperate with her father, their agreement had not yet been reached.
If Aiden invited Natali to the house and did something to her, then the cooperation between Aiden and her father would fail. By then, wouldn't that make Anya lose her mother's formula?
"Aiden, I have important things to discuss with you." Anya said seriously.
"I will go. You guys please talk." This time, Nico looked serious and didn't play around like before. He immediately realized himself and left after hearing that Anya wanted to discuss a serious matter.
After Nico's departure, there were only Aiden and Anya in the president director's office.
"Before you went abroad, you promised me that you would grant my wish as long as I could make perfume for you. I want you to cooperate with my father because my father is holding onto my mother's perfume formula." Anya said the truth at once. She was afraid of losing her mind if she delayed.
Aiden brought his face close to Anya's cheek and whispered in her ear, "I know he threatened you with that formula."
"You know?" Asked Anya in surprise, "Did Mrs. Hana tell you?"
"It doesn't matter who told me." Aiden stroked Anya's hair gently, "I will help you retrieve the formula."
A tremendous feeling of anxiety penetrated Anya's heart, "What would you do?"
"He can only choose one between the formula and Natali. I want to see which one he chooses." Aiden sneered. His face looked creepy when he said it.
"The formula in my father's hands was probably the formula that was destroyed at the time of the explosion. My mother has lost her sense of smell and can't make perfume anymore. That is her last work." Anya smiled bitterly when she said this.
"He has no right to take what does not belong to him." Aiden's eyes lit up a little as if he was happy with what Deny had planned, "If I manage to obtain that formula, how will you thank me?"
Anya blinked shyly. Her lips smiled a little and asked, "What do you want?"
"I want you to come to my father's birthday party as the wife of Aiden Atmajaya." Aiden said, stroking Anya's cheek.
Anya frowned and said softly, "I could accompany you to your father's birthday party, but I don't think this is the right time to announce our relationship."
Aiden stared at Anya silently. His eyes exuded an unpredictable complexity.
"Are ... Are you angry?" Anya swallowed hard, panicked.
"Yes. What are you going to do to make me not angry?" Aiden did not deny Anya's words.
Anya thought for a moment, then she put her hands behind Aiden's neck. She brought her face closer to Aiden and kissed his lips gently, "Don't be angry …"

Apex Immortal: a LitRPG system rampage
"Across the multiverse where the contest for power is the only constant, only a handful have succeeded in reaching the ultimate heights of ascendency and gained the title Apex Immortal. Dominus is one of them, unsurpassed in overwhelming violence, feared across universes. Now, memories locked and stranded far away from everything he’d built, Dominus will face enemies that will challenge even his powers and discover that change is more difficult than destruction." I’ve been writing fiction on and off for the last decade and I’ve always wondered how a peak immortal (or an OP superhero) would single handedly conquer a world that mirrors our own in all of its complexity. As a politics nerd, this is my attempt at answering that question using Machiavelli’s “The Prince” as the primary playbook. The “monsters” are entire political systems with entrenched culture. Expect many versions of real world political systems (and cultures) to be on the hit list. The MC has to successfully institute regime and cultural change without engaging in wholesale genocide and causing the state to fail. Expect things to go wrong pretty quickly as escalating and cascading political and economic effects rapidly go out of control. Methods deployed are not for the faint hearted.

A Requiem For The End
Yuga wakes up on a cold, frigid land entirely covered in snow. Where was he? Who was he? Neither of these could he remember but he didn't have time to think of it, he could tell danger wasn't far. A quick death if he failed to avoid it. It was fast approaching and much as he tried to escape, it quickly caught up with him. Luckily he had survived, but was he just lucky or was there something more to him.....? A Requiem For The End is a fantasy story set in a world.......well, quite different from most stories you might have seen (I honestly don't know how to better describe it). Early into the story (prologue) the world feels elusive because you slowly learn about it through the eyes of Yuga. As you read on questions may arise in your mind and mysteries will present themselves. The answers to them will come the further you read. I'd like to think the plot is a bit larger than the average and same goes for the world building. If you find this story intriguing then all I can say is - There's a lot for me to tell, hop on?
