Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO Chapter 188
Advertisement
"Half an hour ago, Raka, the Mahendra Family's eldest son, announced his engagement." Tara said amidst the deteriorating atmosphere.
Nico immediately turned to Tara when he heard the news. Why, as a close friend, did Raka not tell him about this engagement?
"Raka is engaged? Why is it so sudden?" Nico was surprised when he heard that.
"Why? Are you hurt when you hear that?" Bima glared at Nico.
Nico laughed awkwardly when he heard that, "Grandpa, what do you mean? Raka and I are best friends. I'm just shocked because I didn't hear this important information even though Raka is my best friend."
"You might think of him as a friend. But he doesn't necessarily think of you the same." Aiden said, making the atmosphere even hotter, "Raka is engaged to Natali."
"Is it true?" Nico looked at Aiden. This second news took him by surprise once again.
How long had Natali and Aiden's engagement been canceled? Wasn't it too soon for Natali to get a new fiancé?
Anya listened to all this news silently, without saying anything.
It seemed that she was the only one who knew why Raka was suddenly engaged to Natali. Recalling when Natali sent Raka's photo with the woman, Anya could already guess who the woman was.
This happened because Raka was drunk and framed by Natali. Just like how Natali trapped her, Natali did the same to Raka, so Raka was forced to get engaged to her.
However, this matter had nothing to do with her so she didn't want to interfere.
"Once the Tedjasukmana Family and the Mahendra Family become one, Deny might cancel our cooperation with us." After saying that, Bima looked at Aiden, "What is your plan?"
"Engaged to Raisa." Aiden said simply.
The answer received a smile from Bima's face, "Very nice. Then tomorrow you immediately take care of your divorce as soon as possible. After that, hurry up and go to the Mahendra family to propose to Raisa." Bima nodded in agreement with a satisfied look.

Anya's face immediately changed. She looked at her husband in surprise and was speechless. Aiden wanted to divorce her? And then marry Raisa?
Aiden could feel Anya's gaze. His hand stroked Anya's hand gently, calming her down, "Not me." After that, Aiden looked at Nico, indicating that Nico should be engaged to Raisa.
He was married. Ivan was also engaged to Keara. Only Nico was the only single man in the Atmajaya Family.
"I don't want to marry Raisa." Nico immediately refused when Aiden's gaze fell on him.
"Nobody told you to marry her. Get engaged first and look for a chance to cancel the engagement after the end of the partnership." Aiden said calmly. He said it casually, but to Anya's ears it sounded very cruel. Did he think of engagement as a game?
Was it possible that a rich family was like this?
Aiden was also initially engaged to Natali. Did he think of the same thing when he got engaged to Natali?
He said some of the land for the Atmajaya Group office's building originally belonged to the Tedjasukmana Family. After Natali and Aiden got engaged, Deny gave the land to Atmajaya Group at a low price.
If Nico got engaged to Raisa, what would they get from the Mahendra Family?
"Actually, I already have a lover. If I got engaged to another woman, wouldn't that be unfair to my lover?" Nico suddenly walked over to Tara and put his arm around Tara's shoulder, "Tara is my lover."
"Don't involve me!" Tara immediately panicked and denied Nico's claim. Her hand removed Nico's hand from her shoulder. She did not want to interfere with the affairs of the Atmajaya Family. She's nothing. She was just the Atmajaya Family's personal doctor.
"Tara doesn't have a boyfriend yet. Don't destroy her reputation. How can she get a lover if you claim to be her lover?" Aiden asked.
"Anyway, I don't want to get engaged to Raisa. Even if it's just a pretense, I don't want to get involved with that woman!" Nico said.

Nico was the eldest grandson of the Atmajaya Family so all family members loved him very much. If he really refused, no one could force him. Even the fearsome Bima couldn't do anything to fight his favorite grandson.
Bima glanced at Anya coldly, "As the daughter-in-law of the Atmajaya Family, what can you do?"
Anya gasped at the sudden question, "If there's anything I can do to help, I'll do it."
"Aiden, hear that. There's still people who want to help you. Why do you have to sacrifice Nico?" Bima said.
Anya's face looked pale. She did want to help the Atmajaya family as best she could, but that didn't mean she was willing to get Aiden engaged to another woman. Wasn't there some other way to help?
"When I got engaged to Natali, didn't I complain at all? As a member of the Atmajaya Family, I have contributed to this family. Shouldn't Nico do the same?" Aiden said coldly.
"Uncle, don't be cruel. Do you really want me to get engaged to Raisa?" Nico looked at Aiden pitifully.
"If the Tedjasukmana Family and the Atmajaya Family became in-laws of the Mahendra Family, which do you think they would care more about? Deny owned a lot of land, but did not have the funds to develop it. And he was also reluctant to sell it. This is the only way to block Deny's path." When Aiden said this, Nico couldn't argue.
Bima nodded, "This is the only way. If Nico and Raisa got engaged, the situation wasn't favorable for him. Deny will have no other choice but to ask for our help."
"Grandfather, are you also defending Uncle?" Nico looked pitiful, "No one cares about me!"
"If you really don't want to be engaged to Raisa, then go after Deny so that he agrees to your cooperation. If you manage to get the deal, won't you be free from this matchmaking?" Aiden said.
It wasn't that Nico didn't want to do it. But he had been discussing this cooperation with Deny for days and they had not come to an agreement until now.
Now, Natali was suddenly engaged to Raka. He didn't have time.
He must immediately force Deny to cooperate with the Atmajaya Group! That's the only way he could escape from the engagement to Raisa!
"Very well then, Uncle. As long as I manage to reach an agreement with Deny, I don't need to be engaged to Raisa." Nico was determined to get the cooperation.
"Hmm…" Aiden nodded, "Shall we eat?"
"Sit down. Let us eat!" Maria said.
When the three men of the Atmajaya Family talked about business, Maria and Anya were silent. They didn't know anything about the Atmajaya Family business so they couldn't get involved in their conversation.
Meanwhile, Tara was pretending she wasn't there. Tara, who was usually cheerful and chatty at the moment, was just silent, and trying to lose her presence.
Anya returned to think about their conversation earlier.
Aiden's offer to get Nico engaged to Raisa sounded unfair, but it was the quickest way to solve the problem.
Anya didn't know if Aiden and Natali's engagement was the same too.
Didn't Aiden care when he got engaged to Natali because he knew he could cancel it at a later time? Or Aiden also strongly refused, just like Nico, but in the end he was still forced to be matched with a woman he didn't love?
Was Aiden also forced to get engaged to Natali?
As she was deep in thought, she didn't realize that Bima was looking at her.
"Aiden, if you don't want a divorce, hurry up and have kids. With that, your wife will be useful." Bima looked at Anya with disgust.

Jalan Suram : The 100 Fire Holders
"Why us?" Still staring at the unusually stationary fire of the candle he was holding, Agung voiced the questions in our mind.
