Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO Chapter 276
Advertisement
Anya's mind was chaotic. The incident when Aiden and Keara kissed in the park kept returning in her mind.
One of her hands was holding a hairdryer, drying her wet hair while daydreaming. Until she smelled something burning, and found out that her hair was tucked into the hair dryer.
She immediately turned off the hairdryer and opened one of the nightstand to find scissors, intending to cut her hair.
However, it wasn't the scissors she found in the nightstand, but a photo of Keara.
There's a photo of Keara in Aiden's room. What did this mean?
Anya put the photo back in place and closed the nightstand. She had no intention of looking for scissors anymore and used her hands to pull out her hair.
When Aiden came out of the bathroom, he saw Anya was trying to pull her hair.
"What's wrong?" he asked worriedly.
"My hair accidentally got in and twisted the hairdryer," a few strands of it had already been pulled out, but it looked like enough hair had tucked inside the hairdryer that it still couldn't come off.
"Don't move. I'll find scissors for you." Aiden opened the same nightstand that Anya opened and saw the photo inside the nightstand.
His face immediately changed seeing the photo and he immediately closed his nightstand. "Let's go downstairs and look for the scissors below."
Anya just stared at Aiden silently and followed him out of the room.
As soon as they got down to the first floor, Nico had just come home. He immediately approached Aiden excitedly. "Uncle, I've done my job!"
"Go to my room and get rid of all the things on the nightstand that are not mine!" Aiden didn't say what it was and Nico was smart enough not to ask him after seeing his uncle's scary face.
When Nico passed Aiden and was about to go upstairs, he saw Anya with her head tilted and one hand holding a hair dryer. He deliberately made fun of Anya. "Auntie, what are you doing?"

Anya could only take a deep breath. "Nico, go away. I don't want to talk right now,"
Nico just laughed at his aunt's cute appearance.
"Sir, I've found the scissors." A servant came to bring the scissors to Aiden.
Aiden held the scissors in confusion. He did not want to cut Anya's beautiful long hair.
"Shall we destroy the hairdryer?" Aiden said.
"Never mind. Just get it over with. Cut and trim it and everything will be done!" Anya didn't know if she was talking about her hair or the relationship between Aiden and Keara.
She really wanted Aiden to end his relationship with Keara so that she wouldn't interfere with their relationship.
But she was afraid that she would be eliminated by Aiden.
Aiden then reluctantly cut Anya's hair. Finally, the hair dryer fell off her head.
"My heart can be calm once it's finished like this..." Anya muttered. Again, not knowing if she was talking about her hair or the relationship between her husband and another woman.
At that time, Keara suddenly came down from the second floor. "Aiden, my mom is not feeling well. Tell Sister Maria I'll go home first,"
"Waiter, take Miss Keara to her car," Aiden said coldly.
Keara looked at Anya with a smile. Her smile looked cute, but somehow in Anya's eyes, that smile seemed to mock her. "Anya, I only talked about Nadine with Aiden in the park. No need to think about it. We have nothing important to discuss,"
When she heard this, Anya felt uncomfortable. Shouldn't Aiden have explained all this to her? Why did Keara even try to explain?
"I know. Besides, the past doesn't matter. Better to think about the future," Anya deliberately hugged Aiden's arm and said sweetly. "Isn't that so, husband?"
"Hmm..." Aiden replied. His eyes were fixed on Anya's face, trying to find out what was in her heart.

"I hope you don't misunderstand me. I'm going home first. Let's hang together again next time if we have a chance," Keara walked towards the door.
"I can't walk you because I'm wearing pajamas. Be careful, Keara!" Anya said with a smile. However, that smile was only on the lips. Her eyes were cold and indifferent.
The expression on Keara's face stiffened a little. She stopped and looked at Aiden. "Aiden, can you walk me to the car? I want to talk with you,"
"I've also been wearing pajamas. It's not polite if I escort you. Just say it here," Aiden just took a shower. He currently wore a loose robe with no straps around his waist.
Keara looked at Anya with a smile. "I cannot discuss this in front of Anya,"
"You guys talk. I'm going up," Anya let go of Aiden's hand. She then turned and walked straight up.
As soon as Anya left, Aiden's eyes turned cold. "What do you want to say?"
"I just remembered that the tour guide at that time seemed to like Nadine," Keara said with a smile.
Aiden kept looking straight at her with an unreadable gaze. All the hints that Keara gave were pointless.
They wouldn't be able to find Nadine if they only relied on the hints given by Keara.
"I'll look into it," Aiden said indifferently.
"Aiden, I've died before. I used to be stupid. But now, after being born for the second time, I decided to live with the person I love. Otherwise, I'd better be single for life," After saying that, Keara walked towards the front door without looking back.
Aiden didn't care what Keara said. It didn't matter who Keara loved.
However, Anya also listened to their conversation.
She did not return to their room because she wanted to hear what Aiden and Keara were talking about. She was currently standing in the corridor of the second floor, watching all the movements and sounds from downstairs.
After hearing Aiden's footsteps, she immediately walked over to their room and pretended nothing had happened.
Anya could hear what Keara said earlier. It was a love confession disguised in ambiguous words.
If Keara wanted to get back together with Aiden, she must cancel her engagement to Ivan first.
It had been ten years since Anya had not seen Ivan. Her feelings for Ivan were mixed. Ivan was like an older brother whom she admired since she was a child, but Anya also hated him because of what his mother had done to her family.
Since childhood, Ivan was the one who cared for Anya and Raka. Even the spoiled and naughty Raisa was very obedient to Ivan.
She didn't want to hate Ivan. Because after all, this was all the doing of his mother, not Ivan himself.
Nobody in this world could choose their parents. But if possible, Anya would not want to be Deny's daughter.
Ivan would be the same. How could he be the illegitimate child of Bima and his mistress?
Keara was so selfish. She loved Aiden, but she got engaged to Ivan just to make Aiden jealous.
Now, after returning from the dead, she wanted to break the engagement and go back to Aiden. Then, how about Ivan's feelings?
What did Ivan do to deserve this?
In addition, Keara also blatantly wanted to grab her husband in front of her. What should she do?
Anya was so deep in thought that she didn't notice Nico was standing beside her and asked in a low voice, "Auntie, are you eavesdropping?"

The Werewolf Cheerleader
Being a cheerleader is easier than being a werewolf. Jessica Tumbleleague is a typical teenage girl who loves being a cheerleader at Moondale High. But after an encounter with a werewolf in the woods, Jessica discovers a frightening world she never thought is real. Dangerous magic, deadly fierce spirits, and other malevolent creatures. Now Jessica must fight the forces of darkness to protect her hometown while balancing her supernatural life with her high school life. But can she control the beast within herself? Note: This is a rewrite of the original with the same name. I decided to change the third-person style to first-person because I liked Jessica's voice better. She is funny and very strong. With the story only focusing on her, I can keep the mystery suspenseful and the reader can experience what Jessica is experiencing. It is a typical YA style, but it is fun to write as your main character. There are changes, but the first and second books will be similar to the third-person chapters. Let me know what you think and I hope you will enjoy this new version of the Werewolf Cheerleader. I will post the chapters every Friday in the afternoon. P.S, there is a Werewolf Cheerleader short story published in the Tales of Dungeons, All Hallows book. Titled The Werewolf Cheerleader: Castle and Ghouls. The short is also in first-person, which made me decide to change the book series into first-person. The link is below if you want to check it out. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B08MCS82R5

The General Core {The Sphere}
The life cycle in the Sphere is on the brink of collapse because one of its elements, the Dungeons, have been exploited too much by the mortals. The group who created the Sphere already tried and failed with several modifications, because the original computer-like dungeon cores are too inflexible to handle changing approaches. So they try another type of solution – taking souls from other worlds to try to find a solution before the Sphere Cycle breaks down completely. The General was one of the best soldiers of his world, rising from the ranks of a private through Officer School to the highest command with honors. But when his world faced a zombie apocalypse, even that was not enough and he had to make the ultimate sacrifice. Now he is asked for a repeat performance of planning and controlling a dungeon and its spawns in a world that he knows nothing about… But what is the Sphere really? What is that [Xenotic conversion] he has to go through to even enter the Sphere? Something is really strange and he will have to find out what is going on to get to his promised rewards – whatever they will be. Being a soul in a dungeon core means that the General has better chances of finding hints to the truth about the sphere – a knowledge that would help him survive. And no, the sphere is NOT a virtual reality – the key to its secrets is the place where it was physically constructed (Author’s hint). This is a dungeon core story - but there are quite a number of things that I will do differently than common to those stories. 1) I will describe the floors when they are explored, NOT when they are build. Yes, that will mean it will take longer to get to those parts - but I think describing floors both when they are build and when they are explored destroys quite a lot of chances for suspense when adventurers enter the dungeon. After all, if you as the reader already know where the traps are, then you can't really be surprised when the surfacers encounter them. 2) How the world works (and how not) is an integral part of the story, so it will be explained I'm a world-builder first and the Sphere is NOT a regular world (as hinted in the synopsis above). Things will work differently than in your 08/15 default dungeon core stories - as the General and Gunny have already learned in the second arc (and more of that is already scheduled for the next weeks (July/Aug 2019) when the Sky Arrows continue to explore and evaluate that strange dungeon) If you don't like these premises, then I'm sure you'll find a lot of other Dungeon Core stories more to your liking. But if you are interested in more than "Dungeon builds another room and corridor in medieval earth" and are not afraid of a longer and slower story, then go on. I have two more stories in the Sphere, although they both have lower priority than this one: Shaleen the Wanderer (Adventurer, NSFW) (currently on hold after some chapters) Info's on the Sphere (System Docu and Short Stories) (irregular updates when needed) Current Status reports have been moved to a new discord server: https://discord.gg/EaHkXCfm9y
