Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO Chapter 307
Advertisement
Galih was still immersed in his past memories with Diana, when suddenly his assistant knocked on the door and entered. "Sir, Miss Keara wants a perfume room."
"Just give it. As long as she stays at home, give her whatever she wants," Galih said.
"This afternoon, your wife invited Miss Lisa to have tea with Mrs. Maria from the Atmajaya Family. Miss Keara also wants to come," the assistant added.
Galih's face looked a little cooler. "No, Lisa will go to the matchmaking, why would Keara come along?"
The assistant was a little surprised to hear that. "Who will be arranged with Miss Lisa? Mr Nico?"
Galih nodded and then continued with a serious look, "I want you to investigate something for me. I want to know Anya Tedjasukmana's background, from before she was born,"
"Sir, do you think that Miss Anya..."
Galih's eyes were sharp as he turned to look at his assistant. That gaze terrified his assistant so much that he didn't dare to continue with his words.
"I will immediately investigate it," the assistant replied. "Actually, there's an easier way to find out. As long as you can get Miss Anya's blood sample and do a DNA test, everything can be found out right away."
"Lately, my wife sent many people to find her daughter's whereabouts. It could be that Anya's presence made her nervous," Galih admonished his assistant.
If he did a DNA test, a lot of people would be involved. Once the news leaked even a little, it would be a big problem for him.
As long as he could determine the exact timing of Diana's pregnancy and Anya's birth, he could know whether Anya was really his daughter.
Actually, Anya also thought the same thing. After all, her face resembled Keara's too much. Plus, Galih had a past relationship with her mother.
But Anya didn't really care about it. She preferred to live her life with Aiden and not think too much about things.
Even though her childhood memories were very vague, she still remembered that her father and mother had loved each other in the past.

They separated because her father wanted a son, while her mother was too busy working and was immersed in her career.
Anya still couldn't know for sure what was the real reason for the divorce of her parents. But it was said that her mother was the one who asked for a divorce first.
But she was sure that she was the daughter of her father, Deny Tedjasukmana. Because after her parents divorced, Diana had left Anya at her father's house.
Since she was the daughter of the Tedjasukmana Family, her mother thought that leaving Anya with her father would be a better option…
Galih became suspicious when he saw the similarities between Anya and Keara. Meanwhile, Aiden had long suspected him and had sent his men to investigate.
The results of his investigation showed that Anya was really Deny's daughter. It's just a coincidence that her face looked like Keara.
"Anya, do you ever think that perhaps you're Galih's daughter?" Aiden gently hugged Anya's waist from behind.
Anya shook her head and turned to look at Aiden. "Didn't you already investigate and the result said I wasn't'? I believe in you,"
"I did investigate the relationship between your mother and Galih. Harris suggested that you give a strand of your hair to do a DNA test with Galih," Aiden said.
Anya bit her lower lip, confused.
Had Aiden done the DNA test? How was the result?
Even though she believed in her mother, what if...
"I believe in my mother!" Anya said firmly.
Aiden smiled at Anya's words. "Hmm... Your mother deserves to be trusted,"
Anya breathed a sigh of relief. It looked like Aiden's investigation showed that she was indeed Deny's daughter. Somehow, her feelings were a little mixed, between happy and sad.
She was happy that she wasn't related to the Pratama Family. That meant, her mother was a loyal figure. She would never betray her family.
But she also felt sad because she was Deny's daughter. And yet that man's favorite daughter wasn't her but Natali.

"Did you really do that DNA test?" Anya asked.
"No. I won't do it without your permission. I'm just telling Harris to investigate your mother's past again. Do you want to hear a story about your mother and Galih?" Aiden asked softly.
"You've already told me," Anya leaned her body in Aiden's arms.
Aiden looked down slightly and carried Anya before going into his bedroom.
"Hmm… I will tell it from the time Galih was forced to get married. He separated from your mother and married Lina Srijaya, the eldest daughter of the Srijaya Family. She left because of dystocia when she gave birth to Keara," Aiden said.
Anya nodded her head. "I heard that Keara's mother is currently her stepmother. But it looks like the relationship between Auntie Indah and Keara is very good,"
"Right. Galih's current wife is Indah Srijaya, the younger sister of Lina Srijaya. She raised Keara from childhood. So, of course their relationship is very close," Aiden put Anya down on the bed.
"He couldn't be with my mother so Uncle Galih chose to marry a good woman for his daughter. There's nothing wrong with choosing auntie Indah," Anya really understood Galih's choice at that time.
"At that time, your mother was very famous. After she married and became part of the Tedjasukmana Family, your father and all his family loved your mother very much. Plus, your mom will never do anything bad. You have nothing to do with Keara," Aiden said.
"I remember, my mom and dad loved each other. But in the end, they had to separate. Meanwhile, Uncle Galih and Aunt Indah only have Keara and have no other children. They must really love Keara," there was a hint of jealousy in Anya's tone.
Keara was really lucky. She had one thing that Anya could never get in this world— a father's love.
"They had another daughter, and she disappeared," Aiden said in a low voice.
"Disappeared? Sister Maria's daughter also disappeared. Why do so many people lose their daughters?" Anya asked curiously.
"In the past, there was a big case that caused a turmoil in this city. A scientific organization that wants to carry out research on humans decided to kidnap female babies to be used as research material. All the babies who were kidnapped have been killed. At that time, Sister Maria lost her daughter so she rushed to find Nadine. Though Nadine is not her real daughter, she knows that her own daughter will never return. She doesn't want the same thing to happen to Nadine," Aiden's voice grew deeper and deeper.
Anya knew that the Atmajaya Family would never stop looking for Nadine. Maria had felt the loss of her daughter so she loved Nadine with all her heart.
Though Nadine was a child of her husband's affair, she still accepted her wholeheartedly.
She treated Nadine like her own daughter, seeing her as if her daughter was still alive. It's all because she loved her husband so much.
"Poor her. If Nadine is still alive, we have to find her immediately," Anya's voice sounded a little choked. She couldn't imagine living as Maria.
Maria's life was full of twists and turns but she was still a great woman. Her kindness never faded even though the world continued to try her.
"It's not easy to accept a child from her husband's affair, but Maria really loves Nadine. Three years ago, Sister Maria lost her daughter again. This incident traumatized her so much that she could no longer work."
Aiden said softly, "Sis Maria is a very kind person and she shouldn't feel all of this pain. Keara didn't want to tell Nadine's whereabouts and instead hid her on purpose. That's really cruel."
"Maybe Keara really doesn't know, or something happened," Anya couldn't think of anything else.
Why did Keara keep her mouth shut on this matter?

Toothpick
“Hello! My humble audience! I, the Bard of the North, am going to tell you a tale. Nothing new, nothing old. A story of a hero, some may say, others a poor boy who was hated by the world.” The storyteller paused as he waited, right timing was everything when telling a story. Pacing… Too slow and the audience became bored then left without tossing even the smallest of coins. If he spoke too fast and rushed the story. It would leave the audience confused and having no reason to be impressed. So like any good storyteller, the Bard has to do a balancing act of sorts. Not too slow, not too fast. Just perfectly in the middle. “In a shattered country in the south, a novice princeling has the ambition to mend a torn tapestry that is his birthplace. Struggling to fend off those who would usurp the throne in an unending civil war spanning centuries. A mercenary that left only death in his wake, unable to stave off the monotony and peace of life. He looks back at the path laden with bodies, wondering if it was all worth it. Wandering souls summoned by a madman, travel away from a wasteland in a foreign land, the first alone, the others as companions. A deity, ancient in her years, waiting to be freed from a duty she no longer enjoys. For all these people and their stories, none are the hero of this tale. No, the hero is not grand, not wise, not ready.. he was punished for nothing of his doing, who was an outcast that was unloved by many, including his father.” This was always the big reveal novices use to jump off into their story. He did not start here, instead, like any good fishermen, he set the bait and waited until the fish bit before pulling. As he saw the audience's eyes focus, he then started the backstory. The harness, that stopped the listeners from having metaphorical whiplash. The foreshadowing. “But that is not where the story starts. No, not even the hero's birth. Where the story begins, is the boredom of the deity, a deity many know of. She who hunts for the impossible, the guide for those who have lost the path, the Huntress of Mallon--” A small pause, a short breath. “--All old names for a single powerful being that has roamed the grounds of this continent longer than any line of kings or queens, lords or ladies. A being of worship for many an individual…” One last breath. And he began singing the first verse.
