Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO

"Anya, if someone likes your mother, do you agree if they end up together?" Ivan asked from across the phone.

Currently, Anya was in the kitchen, making jelly with various flavors. She knew that her husband liked the green tea flavor so she wanted to make more for him and also sent some to the hospital for Bima.

But she didn't expect to receive a call from Ivan at a time like this.

She put her cell phone on the table and turned on the speaker because her hands were dirty.

But when she heard Ivan's question, she was momentarily stunned. It looked like this was not a conversation that's appropriate for other people to hear.

"Anya, be careful. It's spilling," said Hana.

"Ah?" Anya's hand stopped at once. Currently, she was pouring the homemade jelly into a mold and was about to put it in the refrigerator. But since she was stunned when she heard Ivan's question, she overdid it.

"I'll do it. You can pick up the phone first," Hana said, allowing Anya to answer the phone first.

Anya immediately washed her hands and dried them. Seeing that the call was still connected, she immediately brought the cellphone to the sofa.

"Brother Ivan, sorry I'm cooking," Anya said uneasily.

"It's okay. I'm sorry for bothering you," Ivan said with a thin smile.

Hearing Anya call him brother again made him think of the past. He was happy to hear that call from Anya.

If he could choose, he wanted to forever be the brother that Anya loved, not as Ivan Atmajaya. But Imel didn't like the name Tahir. She didn't want her son to be surnamed Tahir, a name without power. She preferred Ivan to take Atmajaya as his last name.

"No, you didn't. I'm sorry, what did you ask earlier?" Anya asked.

"Nothing. I've got the answer," Ivan said calmly.

"Oh?" Anya's heart wavered. Actually, she heard Ivan's question. Ivan asked whether he should agree with it or not if there was someone who liked Imel.

Anya could only guess, was the person Ivan referring to was Heru?

She couldn't tell Ivan that when Aiden and Harris were investigating Heru and that they discovered that Imel and Heru had a very close relationship.

"How are you?" Ivan asked softly.

"I'm very good. Every day I just eat and sleep. Aiden really wants to make me fat," Anya said with a chuckle.

Ivan's heart ached to hear that. If Anya knew the truth, could she still laugh like this?

"Anya, no matter what happens in the future, you can find me and ask me for help. I will always support you," Ivan's voice sounded very soft, like a caring brother.

"You also have to take care of yourself. Keara doesn't deserve you. Brother Ivan deserves a better woman," Anya said in a comforting tone.

Ivan laughed at that. "You are really good at entertaining people. Get back to cooking. I'll call you again next time," he said before hanging up the phone.

After talking to Anya, it seemed like Ivan had the courage to face everything.

Anya said that Keara didn't deserve him, and that Ivan deserved a better woman.

Before Ivan went upstairs, he contacted Heru first.

No one knew what they were talking about inside Heru's apartment that afternoon, but after Bima returned from the hospital, Heru immediately submitted his resignation.

Bima did not immediately accept it and asked Heru to reconsider.

Anya was worried that Heru would disappear. Currently, Aiden was investigating regarding his mother's death. If Heru disappeared, how could the investigation continue?

Lately, Aiden always left early in the morning and came home very late. Anya rarely met her husband and didn't know what was keeping Aiden so busy.

At night, Tara had just returned from her clinic when she saw Anya daydreaming on the living room sofa.

"Anya! I am coming. Do you miss me?" Tara came to her, patting Anya's shoulder. "What are you thinking about?"

"Do you think Aiden is cheating on me? He's very busy. He went before I woke up and came home after I went to sleep," Anya said sadly.

"Your husband is a president of a large company. Of course he must be busy every day," Tara put down her bag and sat beside Anya.

But Anya was not sure about Tara's opinion. "But Aiden wasn't this busy before. Now, I can't even chat with him. Is married life this boring?"

"Previously, Aiden had a lot of time because his eyes haven't recovered so he has to rest a lot. Now the end of the year is coming and all companies are at all time busy. Aiden isn't the only person with such a packed schedule, my fiancé also has to work late every day," Tara said with a laugh.

"Fiance?" Anya glanced at Tara, annoyed that her best friend was showing off her affection. "How is your relationship with Nico? Are you still sleeping in separate rooms?" Anya teased.

"I won't let him into my room until I completely trust him!" Tara grumbled. "You don't know that Nico used to pretend to sleep-walking and sneaked into my room. I threatened him with my syringe and finally he confessed,"

Anya laughed hearing that. "Tara, you are so creepy, using a syringe as your weapon!"

"Anya, Aiden won't be back for dinner. Do you want to eat now?" When Anya and Tara were chatting, Hana approached them.

"Let's eat together. If you are there, my appetite will probably improve a little," said Anya.

"I'll wash my hands!" Tara immediately ran towards the bathroom excitedly.

At the same time, a bell rang from the front door. Hana immediately opened the door and saw Keara standing in front.

"Anya, there is Miss Keara," said Hana.

"I'm not that close to her. Just say that Aiden is not at home and tell her to come back next time," Anya wasn't sure she could face Keara so she decided to stay away. She didn't want to have a relationship with a woman who was eyeing her husband.

"Very well," Hana came out and conveyed Anya's words to Keara. But Keara shouted from the front door instead. "Anya, I came to meet you,"

Anya frowned, but finally asked Hana to invite her in.

Once inside, Keara saw several servants preparing food on the table. "You're going to have your dinner? Without Aiden?"

"What can I do for you?" Anya asked coldly.

"I have a recording I want to show you," Keara took out her cell phone and turned on a recording.

Anya still didn't answer and her face still looked cold. "Just say what you want. I don't wanna listen to it,"

"Aiden was with me last night. He was drunk and told me many things about you," Keara's hand played with the bracelet in her hand.

It was a silver bracelet with a pendant in the shape of a small heart. Anya immediately recognized the bracelet because she had seen it from the magazines before. Since the bracelet was a limited edition, it was very difficult to get it.

But when she saw that the bracelet was in Keara's hand, Anya felt her throat tighten.
