Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO Chapter 418

"To Ms. Esther, thank you very much for supporting me and continuing to encourage me to enter this competition. Without you, I might have missed this very valuable learning opportunity…"
"For the most important man in my life, the man who supported me so that I could stand here. Thank you for always being by my side. Thank you for always believing in me…"
"To everyone who supports me, I love you all."
After saying that, Anya leaned towards the camera and the light that was shining on her.
The sound of loud applause was heard from the audience seats. After that, the emcee announced that today's second winner was a foreign parfumeur, and the third winner was Keara.
Keara's face looked flat and without the slightest sense of joy as she went through all the processions. When she received her prize, she even wanted to crush the chalice in her hand because she was so angry.
Deny also shed tears when he saw his daughter win this competition. His daughter whom he neglected and treated unfairly…
His daughter had grown into a great woman…
His heart was filled with regret as he looked at his daughter's face from the TV screen.
At this time, the ones who were the most overjoyed surely were the Atmajaya Family.
"Father, look! I told you! Anya won this competition. I know she can do it," Maria said proudly as if she was the one who won the competition.
"At least she didn't embarrass the Atmajaya family," Bima was also very happy, but the words that came out of his mouth were still spicy.
"Of course! It's a shame people still don't know that Anya is the daughter-in-law of the Atmajaya Family. They only know her as Aiden's lover," said Maria.
Upon seeing that Anya won this prestigious competition, Bima itched to tell everyone that his daughter-in-law came out as the winner.
"Wait after Nico and Lisa's engagement. After that, I will ask Aiden to have his wedding party," said Bima. "Even though everyone doesn't know that Anya is my daughter-in-law, at least they know that Anya is Aiden's lover,"

"Even though she has good luck, Keara can't be compared to Anya," Maria sneered.
"After Ivan married Keara, you shouldn't show your favoritism like this. Anya and Keara are both your sister-in-law," said Bima.
"Dad, Nadine is still missing and she hasn't returned home to us. If her whereabouts are still unknown, I will never accept Ivan and Keara's marriage. I won't let Keara enter the Atmajaya Family. But if you insist, I will get out of this house," Maria said angrily. She got up and took her bag before going to the front door of the house.
"Where are you going? Aren't you going to cook dinner?" Bima stopped her.
"Just ask your future second daughter-in-law," Maria grumbled irritably.
She headed straight to Aiden's house, making a delicious meal with Hana. She wanted to celebrate Anya's victory together.
When he heard that his mother had gone to his uncle's house, Nico immediately invited Tara to join him for a meal.
The atmosphere at Aiden's house was full of happy laughter, but the one in the Mahendra Family was very gloomy.
Irena was also watching TV. She shouted out loud, "Same last name. But why can one perform well, while the other can only cause trouble?"
Natali just sat silently. Currently, she was not allowed to go anywhere.
Hearing Irena's words, she hated Anya even more. All this happened to her because of Anya.
However, when she watched the live broadcast on TV, she could see that Keara didn't like Anya either. She had found a new partner!
"Are you crazy? Why are you destroying the banana you are holding? That's disgusting," Irena got up from the sofa and looked at Natali with disgust.
Natali didn't say anything. She just threw the banana in her hand into the trash.
At dinner, Irena suggested to send Natali into a mental hospital for treatment. She felt the girl was mentally ill.
"I'm not crazy," said Natali.
"She was watching TV quietly, but suddenly she crushed the banana she was holding. That's so disgusting. I dare not live with her. I'm afraid that she will crush me next," Irena said, exaggerating the matter.

"Mother, I just felt annoyed and accidentally crushed the banana. I didn't scream, I didn't slam things or break anything. I sat quietly. Am I wrong?" Natali said.
"Of course. It's weird for a woman to look so calm after getting raped," said Irena bitterly.
"Do you consider suicide as the normal reaction then? When I'm going through something really painful, no one can comfort me. I have to bear it alone. I was so irritated that I gripped the banana too tightly. Does that make me worthy of being sent to a mental hospital? I see, I can't live in this house anymore," Natali got up and went upstairs to pack her things.
Raka looked tired. But he knew very well, he couldn't let Natali go back to her house. He couldn't let her go from his sight.
"Dad, talk to mom. I will go up and see Natali's condition," he said before following Natali.
"Raka, just let her go," said Irena.
"You stupid. Why don't you understand? I told you to take good care of Natali. Why are you even making her angry? Natali really likes Raka. Even when she experienced bad things like that, Raka didn't care about her at all. At least you have to calm and comfort her…" Rian rebuked his wife.
"Quickly cancel the engagement. I don't want my son to deal with a dirty woman like her!" Irena grumbled.
Rian hit the table angrily. "It's enough. Isn't it enough that Raisa is in trouble? Now you also want to get your son in trouble? If you are like this again, I will send you to be with Raisa abroad and not allow you to return to Indonesia without my permission,"
"Husband, why are you like this? I'm not wrong. Just look at her. Are you willing to have your son marry a woman like that?" Irena felt treated unfairly.
"Raka is my son. I also think about him. You don't need to know what my plan is and what I want to do. I've arranged everything. Anyway, just take care of Natali and keep an eye on her so as not to cause trouble. Remember, now she is still Raka's fiancée, so she also represents the Mahendra family. It's better to watch her in this house than to let her roam out there and cause trouble," said Rian.
Irena still looked displeased, but for the sake of everything, she decided to listen to her husband. "Okay, I understand."
She realized that what her husband said was true. If Natali left this house, no one would be able to watch her.
Better to lock her up in this house so she couldn't do anything…
In the room, on the second floor, Raka stopped Natali while she was packing her things.
"My mom was just a little bit angry when she was thinking about Raisa. She saw several comments circulating on the internet and thought that you were the one who caused Raisa to be unable to return to Indonesia. When her anger subsides, everything will be fine," Raka said, trying to console her.
"I know your mother really loves Raisa. If your mother thinks that I hurt Raisa, she will always hate me," Natali's eyes turned red. "Let me go home. My father is alone in the hospital and no one looks after him. I want to accompany him,"
"If you want to visit your father in the hospital, I will accompany you on Sunday," said Raka. "There are many journalists out there. If someone took your picture, how would you describe the wound on your body?"
"Raka, are you worried about me? Or are you just afraid that I will ruin your family's good name?" Natali asked.
"Is there a difference? You are my fiancée and you are part of my family. Everything you say and do also represents the Mahendra family," Raka replied calmly.

Wretched Brood
I knew I was different from the beginning. I wanted nothing to do with those simpletons that valued only food, drink, and women. So I distanced myself from my brood, not considering myself a goblin. I even tried to become one of the humans, befriending some in the process. I thought that I’d live a relatively happy life as a “human” adventurer, albeit behind a wooden mask. At that time I didn’t know that I’d soon become the enemy of all humanoid races, a being that was despised and feared by all intelligent creatures. The calamity called “Scourge.”

Humanity Extinguished
I had the same nightmare again. The loss of my first life continues to haunt me, but now it aches like an old wound. A more grievous injury to my psyche was the losses yet to come and the inevitable hellscape I would return to again and again. Reincarnation is my curse. The lives themselves weren't all that bad. Losing people you cared about hurt and all, but even that pain was preferable to experiencing the nothingness between lives for months at a time. It was enough to drive anyone mad. Now I have to focus on breaking this horrible cycle. Thankfully I have all the time in the world. Trace is an average man driven by extraordinary circumstances in an indifferent and cruel world. His reincarnations give him a few key advantages but also take a heavy toll on him. He lives in a world where magic is uncommon and underpowered compared to the limitless physical adaptations you can acquire by getting your hands a little bloody. This story is one of hardship and terrible lows, but also monumental achievements and grand heights. The main character has flaws. While some of these flaws will fade with time, others will worsen. Thank you for taking the time to read my synopsis. I plan to release 2-3 chapters a week. Cover art is 'The Siege and Destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans Under the Command of Titus, A.D. 70' by David Roberts.This art is in the public domain.
