Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO

Anya was forced to give Harris her bicycle key and steeled her courage to walk towards Aiden's car.

A raging storm?

How could she face Aiden at a time like this?

Aiden returned to the Atmajaya Family house and made a big fuss. He seemed to have found out that the real Nadine had been found and Anya was not Maria's daughter.

However, due to the misunderstanding that had occurred, the two of them had to separate two years ago and even lost their child.

Aiden must be furious.

When Anya found out the truth, she too couldn't accept everything and was very angry.

But everything had passed. What's the point of getting angry now?

Even getting angry would not bring her child back to life…

Maria's health condition was also very bad and Anya didn't want to make things worse.

Her footsteps stopped in front of Aiden's car door and her hand immediately went up to knock on the window.

The window came down, revealing Aiden's cold face. Anya asked carefully, "Are you looking for me?"

"Come in," Aiden said.

"It's late already. Can we talk here so I can go home soon?" Anya asked, trying to escape.

"Anya, get in the car!" Aiden growled, as if he was trying to contain his emotions.

Although she felt very reluctant, Anya finally got into the car.

She sat in the front passenger seat while Aiden drove straight to the lake near their old house. She stopped right in front of the Ferris wheel's entrance.

Anya didn't know what Aiden wanted. Why did the man suddenly bring her to the Ferris wheel?

Aiden got out of the car without waiting for Anya and immediately walked over to the Ferris wheel.

Anya had no other choice but to go after him. "Aiden, what do you want to talk about?"

The question brought Aiden to a halt. Behind him, Anya tried to catch up with him and as she couldn't stop her steps, she accidentally bumped into Aiden's back.

"Ah! My head!" Anya rubbed her forehead irritably. "Why did you suddenly stop?"

"You're too slow," Aiden reached out and took Anya's hand toward the Ferris wheel.

"Do you want to ride the Ferris wheel?" Anya asked.

Aiden did not answer Anya's question. Instead, he asked another question. "Do you remember the legend of the Ferris wheel?" His deep voice sounded in Anya's ears.

Anya was silent for a moment at that question. 

Legend about the Ferris Wheel? Of course Anya remembered.

She could even remember clearly their first date at this place. She could remember her wish when they were at the top of the Ferris wheel. 

She still remembered their kiss when they reached its peak, hoping it would be a sign that their happiness would last to eternity.

"It's just a legend," only that answer came out of Anya's mouth.

"If a couple kissed when the Ferris wheel reached its highest peak, they would live happily ever after. I remember when you kissed me in the Ferris wheel," Aiden said.

Anya's face flushed at once. "Looks like you remember wrong," she said as she looked away.

"Then, let me remember again," Aiden took Anya's hand and entered one of the Ferris wheel.

The Ferris wheel turned slowly, slowly rising to the top, showing a beautiful night view.

Anya pulled her hand from Aiden's grasp and looked at him straight up, "What do you really want to say?"

"You made a wish on this Ferris wheel before. What did you wish for?" Again, Aiden didn't answer Anya's question.

Anya turned and looked outside the window. The lake under the night sky looked so beautiful and calming.

"Two years have passed. I forgot what I asked for at that time," Anya replied.

"My wish is for you to live a happy and peaceful life," Aiden took the initiative to say this and asked again. "Can you tell me yours now?"

Anya was stunned for a moment and then replied, "I ask that your eyes can return to how they used to be."

"Your wish has been granted. But my wish… I wish I could make it happen with my own strength. Anya, can you give me one more chance?" Aiden stared at her closely.

BANG!

The sound was followed by fireworks rising above the sky. The beautiful colors made the sky look sparkling.

Anya looked at the fireworks and thought back to her first date with Aiden.

That first date felt like a fairy tale. She was like a princess who had found her true love, her prince.

Now, Aiden asked her for a second chance.

The chance to start everything again…

Could they come back to how they used to be?

When the Ferris wheel reached its climax, Anya made up her mind to answer Aiden's wish. "We can't go back to how we used to be," she replied calmly.

"I'm not married, you're not married either. I still love you like before. Why can't we go back?" Aiden asked.

Suddenly, Anya's heart felt like it was being squeezed hard. She didn't know how to answer this question.

It was true that Aiden wasn't married and he was still single. The man still loved her and she too, still loved Aiden.

But why couldn't they be together?

"I... I don't love you anymore," Anya muttered.

"What?" Aiden couldn't believe his ears.

"Aiden, I said I don't love you anymore," Anya answered more firmly.

"Are you still blaming me?" Aiden's gaze showed sadness in his heart.

"Is it wrong if I blame you? You promised me that you would never hide anything from me. You promised me that we will fight to face anything together. But what were you doing?" Anya whispered. "You divorced me, told me to abort my pregnancy, without telling me the reason. Was that how you respect me?"

Aiden stared at Anya speechless. Two years had passed, Anya was getting older. The old Anya wouldn't dare to say this in front of Aiden. His little wife had grown up.

"I was just trying to keep you from getting hurt. I was afraid you won't be able to accept all of them."

"Should I be grateful for your attention? My love for you makes me hate you this much. Two years I spent hating you and it made me even weaker. Right now, the only thing I can do is stop hating you and your family," Anya said. She averted her gaze, not wanting to look at Aiden again.

"Anya ..." Aiden stretched out his hand, trying to grab Anya's hand. But Anya immediately avoided.

"I..." before Anya could say anything, her cell phone suddenly rang. Someone called her on video call.

Anya raised her head to look at Aiden and then answered the call.

"Mama! Happy International women's day!" A pair of large, round eyes appeared on the screen.

When she heard the voice of a child saying the word 'Mama', Aiden's eyes immediately looked gloomy.

"Alisa, guess where is mama now?" Anya turned her cellphone so that Alisa could see the Ferris wheel and fireworks around Anya.

"In the Ferris wheel. There are fireworks too! Amazing!" Alisa shouted happily.

Anya turned the camera screen back on her face and smiled. "Do you like it? Ask your papa to take you to Indonesia. Later I will take you to ride the Ferris wheel and see the fireworks, okay?"

"Okay, Mama! Alisa and papa really miss you!" Alisa said haltingly, having difficulty pronouncing the long sentence.

"Mama misses you too, honey!" Anya answered.

"Mama, I want to eat sweet potatoes and go to Grandma's garden!" Alisa said excitedly.

"Later when Alisa comes home, mom will..."

"Anya, I'm going to Indonesia on business. Alisa wants to meet you. I will bring her back to Indonesia with me. Can you take care of her for a while?" A handsome man suddenly appeared on the screen.

Aiden's eyebrows immediately furrowed at that. For some reason, he felt the man's voice sounded familiar. It seemed that he had heard that voice before.

"No problem. Alisa is also my daughter," Anya said with a smile.

"Good evening, Mama. See you tomorrow!"

"Good evening, Alisa!"

"Anya, I will send my flight schedule to you now. I'll see you when my business is done," the man said again before hanging up the phone.

"No problem. I can take care of Alisa when you are busy."

"Thank you. I'll call you back later. "

After the video call ended, Anya immediately put away her cellphone. As soon as she lifted her head, she found Aiden staring closely at her. 

"Why did that child call you mama?"
