Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO

"Anya, I heard you just launched your perfume and it was sold out. Congratulations!" Raka said it sincerely.

They were standing at the door of the Aiden House. The lights in front of Aiden's house made the shadow of his body look long. 

Time seemed to go back to three years ago. In the summer, they held hands while walking along the lake. They chased in the flower garden and kissed under the bergamot tree.

But time couldn't come back. The future would continue. They had their own lives and some things must be forgotten, including their past.

"Raka, I'm very happy to be able to share this joy with you. My perfume sells well and the customer response is very good." Said Anya with a smile, "I'm one step closer to my dream."

"I know. You worked so hard. I know you will succeed." The smile on Raka's face suddenly froze when he saw the wound on Anya's forehead, "Are you hurt?"

Raka reached out his hand to touch Anya's forehead.

From the second floor's window, Aiden witnessed all of this. He really wanted to run down and twist Raka's hand. Seeing Raka's hand that was about to touch Anya's head, Aiden couldn't help himself and tightly clenched his fist.

Anya immediately stepped back and avoided Raka's helping hand. She laughed lightly and said, "I'm fine!"

Raka's hand stuck in the air awkwardly. He trembled slightly, then pulled his hand back, "How did you get hurt on your head?"

"Someone came and made a scene at the shop today. I accidentally got hit by the perfume bottle. My forehead is only slightly swollen. It's not a big problem." Said Anya while smiling faintly, "Aiden is at home. I won't invite you in. How about we chat in the park for a bit?"

"Okay." Raka also felt that standing in front of the house was not the right decision. If someone took their picture while they were standing together, strange gossip would emerge and damage Anya's reputation.

Raka himself was a single man. No one would insult him. But Anya was different. Anya was someone's wife. Or rather, everyone knew her as Aiden's lover. If she was seen alone with another man ...

Anya walked first in front of Raka and Raka followed her from behind. 

From a distance, Anya saw a golden swing. A swing that Aiden made for her.

She sat on the swing and held the pole with a smile on her face, "Aiden made this swing for me." She said.

Raka walked behind the swing and pushed Anya's body slowly. They seem to go back to their childhood, when they were two close friends.

"Is he nice to you?" Raka asked.

"Aiden respects me, supports me and frees me to do whatever I want. He doesn't restrain me. He wasn't even embarrassed when he found out that I was working part time. Aiden is a good man." Anya said with a happy smile on her face.

"Anya, marriage to a rich family is not as simple as you think. Aiden must want something from you so he wants to marry you. Even though I still don't know, I'll keep trying to find it." Raka said in a serious voice.

Anya smiled as she shook her head, "The story between me and Aiden is a little complicated, but I know he is sincere to me. I was just a poor student and my mother was in debt. What can he get from me?"

"I have no proof right now so you won't believe me. But don't believe him too quickly. Even though we can't be together, I still wish you all the best. I want you to be happy." Raka replied.

"We grew up together. When you were a child, you took care of me like your own sister. You protected me when my father hit me. Our youth were beautiful, but the situation is different now. At the hospital, Raisa set me up. But you did not stand up for me and try to straighten it out like a brother. You even challenged Aiden and corner him so he can divorce me. I'm really mad at you."

"You still visited me when I was sick, even though you knew Aiden would be mad at you. I was touched at that time. I thought it was the only chance to help you regain your freedom. That's why I provoked Aiden. I'm sorry." Raka lowered his head in shame.

Anya's heart felt very calm. She knew Raka would never harm her. Whatever Raka did, he did it for Anya.

But he ignored one thing. He ignored Anya's wishes. Never once did Raka ask what Anya wanted. He immediately decided for himself that he had to free Anya from Aiden.

"Raka, my life is very happy now. I also hope you find your happiness." Anya said in a low voice.

The swing she was sitting on was a compromise from Aiden.

Her husband even allowed her to meet Raka alone while he waited in her room.

Aiden tried to change, for Anya's sake. He didn't want to burden Anya. He wanted to protect her, make her feel safe and give her whatever she wanted.

Such a man… Anya would never find another man like that even in the next life.

"Do you love him?" Raka asked.

Instead of answering, Anya said, "Raka, I was never angry with you for what happened. You don't need to blame yourself. Now we have separated. We better wish each other the best."

"Anya, I can't forget you. Without you, I can never be happy. Are you afraid your heart will waver if you accept me, or Aiden threatening you to use me?" Raka asked.

"Raka, this swing used to be a cage. Aiden said, if I get in touch with you again, he will lock you up in this place and drown you in the lake. Now, the cage has turned into a swing for me."

"Even though Raisa purposely made me pass out and put me on your bed, Aiden decided to believe in me. I will not waver and choose you. Aiden doesn't have to threaten me either. Because the person I care about right now is him, not you."

Anya could tell that her words sounded cruel. But the words were sincere from her heart. Right now, the man in her heart was Aiden, her husband.

Raka's heart ached. He could feel Anya's sincere feelings for Aiden.

"Anya, three years have passed, but I still love you. I can not forget you. I can't forget our relationship. Why don't you just go with me? Let's run away from this place." Raka said with a sad face.

"Raka, this is my house. I will never leave Aiden. I'm really happy now. Please do not bother me anymore."

However, no matter what Anya said, Raka was adamant, "I will not give up. Wait for me. I'm going to find out what Aiden's goal is to marry you. At that time, you will be willing to go with me."

"Raka, don't be selfish. Have you ever thought about what I want? I've said it clearly. If you keep bothering me, I will never see you again." Anya immediately got up and left the park without looking back.

At that time, she just wanted to meet Aiden immediately.

She ran to his room and did not find Aiden. She ran to the study, but her husband wasn't there either.

"Aiden, where are you?" Anya shouted as she stood in the middle of the corridor.

Aiden walked out of one of the rooms looking at her with a smile, "I'm in your perfume room."

When Anya saw Aiden, she immediately ran towards him. She threw his body into Aiden's embrace and wrapped her arms around Aiden's waist tightly.

"Hug me!" She said, spoiled.

Aiden chuckled when he heard tha, "How was your conversation with Raka?"

"I told you that the person I care about right now is you, not him. But it looks like he refuses to give up. He wanted to find out why you married me. Maybe he needed time to think. I won't see him again. Don't invite him to a barbecue. I don't want to meet him. Okay?" Anya hugged Aiden while looking up at her husband's handsome face.
