Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO

"She will return to her original position and need not expect anything." Aiden said. After that, he could hear the sound of footsteps leaving the door. The footsteps sounded hasty, escaping the door quickly.

'She will return to her original position and need not expect anything…'

That sentence kept ringing in Anya's mind. Tears obscured her vision as she was about to descend the stairs. She could not see the stairs clearly so she tripped and almost fell.

"Anya!" Hana shouted loudly from the ground floor. She could see Anya stumbled and rushed to catch her.

"Ah!" Anya couldn't control her shaking body. She closed her eyes tightly in fear, afraid of the pain she would feel if she fell.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed her arm and wrapped it around her waist, holding her back from falling. Aiden used one hand to hold Anya's body, while the other hand held the banister to support her.

Anya turned around and saw Aiden with teary eyes, "Aiden ..."

Aiden hugged her gently as he rubbed her back, "Why are you running? What if you fall?"

"I forgot to bring an eye mask for you." Anya said quietly.

Hana, who heard it from below, immediately took Aiden's eye mask, "Let me take it." She said.

"Are you hurt?" Aiden asked worriedly.

Anya felt her hand being pulled a little hurt. Aiden suddenly grabbed her. Maybe a muscle was pulled at that time. However, if Aiden didn't pull her and hold her body, she might have fallen down the stairs. It wasn't just her hands that would hurt, but her whole body.

"I'm fine." Anya replied softly. No matter how much pain she felt in her hands, the pain she felt in her heart was even more intense!

The kindness and gentleness that Aiden gave her was not genuine. All that was because he saw Keara on her. Previously, she thought it would be fine if she just replaced Keara. But it turned out that her heart felt so hurt. She couldn't do it.

Keara wasn't dead yet and she's going to come back. Once Keara returned, Anya had to give up her place to its true owner.

Aiden said she had to go back to where she was and expect nothing.

She also thought not to hope for anything, but the happiness Aiden gave her turned out to grow hope in her heart. She naively thought she could live with Aiden forever. She wanted to learn to love Aiden and live peacefully with him.

But all of that was just one big bubble that would break easily at the slightest touch.

Anya looked at Aiden with teary eyes. She didn't know what happened to her. All she knew was that her heart really hurt...

Aiden looked at Anya and noticed the woman was about to cry. He didn't know what made Anya suddenly feel sad like this, "Did you listen to that?"

"Listen to what?" Anya pretended not to understand what Aiden was talking about.

"No, nothing. Nevermind, Help me to the room." Aiden said.

Anya took a deep breath and tried to hold back her tears, "I thought you could see. How did you catch me?"

Aiden's eyes brushed over Anya's small face that looked sluggish and said, "I can hear your footsteps. When I followed you, I heard Hana suddenly scream. Startled, I suddenly saw a faint shadow in front of me and when I reached out instinctively, I didn't expect I would actually catch you." The lie came out of Aiden's mouth very smoothly.

Anya's innocence made her not understand that Aiden was lying to her. She looked at Aiden in surprise, "Is it possible that your eyes can see at a critical moment like that?"

"Maybe." Aiden replied with a nod.

Anya's brain was spinning fast. Could it be that Aiden's eyes could recover if something had triggered it? Should she try to find the trigger? Who knew if Aiden's eyes would really recover.

But once Aiden's eyes recovered, he would realize that the person beside him was not Keara, the woman he loved. After all, Keara would return to him, and with fully recovered eyes, Aiden would return to live with Keara, not her. Anya felt sad thinking about it ...

Aiden looked at Anya who was standing in front of him. The expression on the woman's face changed rapidly. For a second she thought hard and looked hopeful, the next second her expression became sad and her eyes filled with tears again. He could guess what his wife was thinking.

When he went to seek treatment abroad, doctors said that his eyes were slowly recovering. As long as he was careful about using it and didn't overwork it, his eyesight would not have any problems. He had to rest a lot...

Besides, he also saw Keara when he was overseas.

Keara was still alive, but she didn't come home for three years. What was she really doing? This made Aiden feel curious.

However, he paid no heed to Keara. He was only worried about Nadine.

After his brother died, he only had Nico and Nadine, a family he could trust. As their uncle, Aiden had the responsibility and duty to look after his nephew and niece.

When he saw Keara, he didn't tell anyone, including the Pratama family. He set someone to follow her secretly, only to find Nadine's whereabouts.

In his heart, he hoped Keara would not come back. Even though Keara returned, he and Keara did not have any relationship. Keara would return to her position, as Ivan's fiancé.

If that happened, Aiden would find it even more difficult to get rid of Imel and Ivan because they would have the Pratama Family's support behind them.

He didn't want things to get more complicated.

Imel would continue to look for ways to bring him down and clear Ivan's path.

When he was not in Indonesia, Imel suddenly attacked Anya, accusing her of being a thief and involving Diana's past.

He purposely didn't take Anya and introduced her to the Atmajaya family as his wife because he didn't want anything to happen to her. Anya was too innocent and weak. She wouldn't endure being part of the Atmajaya Family.

Aiden wanted Anya to grow better as a person. He wanted Anya to learn to protect herself and stand up confidently. If she could do it, he would bring her before the entire Atmajaya Family.

Anya held Aiden's hand tightly, "I'll help you into the room." She said quietly. The truth was she had not partnered with Aiden to help her, but to seek warmth and comfort from him.

After returning to the room, Aiden immediately grabbed Anya into his arms and closed the door. The woman didn't react, she just accepted the limp hug. Her watery eyes stared at Aiden anxiously.

Aiden smiled faintly as he wiped the tears that would run down Anya's cheeks, "Eavesdropping is not a good deed, Mrs. Atmajaya."

"Ah! I'm not eavesdropping." Anya shifted her gaze shyly, not noticing that her ears were turning red when she lied.

"Is it true? Don't you want to know why you look like Keara?" Aiden looked at her face gently. His big body enveloped Anya's tiny body. His hand grabbed Anya's chin, forcing her to stare at him.

Anya blinked twice, stunned by Aiden's question. Then she replied, "Didn't you find her out?"

"You said you didn't eavesdrop." Aiden said, stroking her hair, "How far did you hear?"

Anya swallowed hard, not daring to keep it a secret from Aiden. She admitted that she heard the conversation between Aiden and Harris, "Since you said that Indah Pratama is not Keara's biological mother."

"Your mother had a relationship with Galih Pratama in the past. But they couldn't be together because Galih was forced to marry into the Srijaya Family and he was forced to betray your mother. After Keara was born, her birth mother died. Galih wanted to continue the relationship with your mother, but your mother refused." Aiden explained.

Finally, Anya understood why Diana didn't allow her to contact Galih Pratama. In the past, her mother had rejected Galih and did not want her to repeat the same story.

"Your mother came back from abroad as a prominent parfumeur. At that time, the Tedjasukmana Family was still victorious. She decided to marry Deny and give birth to you. You have nothing to do with the Pratama Family whatsoever. Even if your father treats you badly, it turns out that he is indeed your real father."Aiden told Anya everything he was investigating.

"Hmm... I'm glad I don't have a relationship with the Pratama Family." Anya said. No matter how bad Deny treated her, she still considered him as her father.

Aiden looked closely at Anya's face, "Why don't you ask about Keara?"
