Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO

"There are no lifeboats here. If the floods get in, we can all die here," said Anya.

"Are you telling me to leave you in such danger? Snap out of it," Aiden insisted.

Anya looks at the farm from outside the window. Even though the flood was already quite high and some of the crops were washed away, some still survived.

"Aiden, have someone pick you up. I'll wait two days here. If the water doesn't recede, you pick me up. At that time, I will go with you." Anya felt her throat tighten as she wanted to continue.

'If I die, please take care of Arka and Aksa.'

She wanted to say it, but she couldn't!

Aiden sees all the flooded crops and knows what the garden means to Anya.

Anya saw herself in it as she had experienced depression and got a second chance to recover.

If this disaster passes, Anya thinks that not only the plant will survive, but herself as well. Aiden is sure that Anya will become even more charming and confident after going through such hardships.

"I'll be waiting for you here. The lifeboats will come later," Aiden did not want to go and left Anya alone. No matter what, he wants to stay beside her.

In the afternoon, Agnes arrived with a lifeboat, food and drink.

"Anya, you are too much. How can Aiden live with you in a dangerous place like this?" As soon as she arrived, Agnes immediately blamed her.

Anya looked at her husband awkwardly, "I told him to go home, but he refused."

"You two come back. I'll stay here," Agnes said anxiously.

"It's dangerous here. How could I leave you? Thank you for the help. You better come back soon," said Anya.

"Uncle sent me here to save the garden belonging to Pratama Group. As soon as I came, I was sick because I could not stand the weather. I rested at the hotel for a few days and just recovered. When I found out you were here, I immediately left. It is my duty to protect this area. You don't have to risk your life here. Come home!"

Agnes walked towards Aiden. "Aiden, please tell Anya."

Aiden looked at Anya with a smile and embraced her in his arms. "I will always support Anya's decision. You go back to the hotel."

"I've been here and I don't want to go back. If you decide to stay here, I'll stay too," Agnes didn't want to leave that place either.

Before dark, several guards teamed up to tie the lifeboat so it wouldn't be dragged away by the flood.

However, when they woke up the next day, they found that the lifeboat had disappeared again. There was only one lifeboat left.

Seeing this situation, Aiden immediately ordered his bodyguards to escort Anya and Agnes away.

"Anya, go with Aiden. I'll just stay here," said Agnes.

"The rain has stopped. As long as it doesn't rain anymore, the floods will recede soon. I want to stay one more day," Anya did not want to stay here with Agnes. But she also felt uneasy about having to go.

Knowing that he could not persuade Anya, Aiden said, "I'll just stay. You two come back!"

"But…"

"Are you still worried that I will stay here? You haven't been able to sleep well or eat well these past few days. Go back to the hotel and rest. When the flood recedes, I'll go to your place," said Aiden.

Anya's eyes turned red when she heard that. "I want to be with you."

"Don't worry. These bodyguards have worked for me for years. I will be fine!" said Aiden.

"But..."

"Anya, can you just listen to me just this once?" Aiden said helplessly. "You are tired and your health could worsen. Even if you stay, you can't do anything. Come back to the hotel and rest!"

"Anya, listen to Aiden. We can do nothing here. You also look limp. Let's go back to the hotel," Agnes helped Aiden to persuade Anya.

Finally, Anya gave up and hugged Aiden. "If you can't protect this garden, just leave it. Get someone to deliver the lifeboat as fast as possible."

"Don't worry. I will be right back!" said Aiden.

He pairs a lifejacket for Anya and makes sure that nothing goes wrong. He hugged Anya once again and kissed her forehead. "Be Careful. I'll catch up with you soon."

"Aiden, don't worry. I will look after Anya," said Agnes.

"Thank you," but Agnes' words did not calm Aiden. He got even more worried instead. The man then ordered his two bodyguards to go with Anya.

The original plan was to send the guards, one of which was to protect Anya and the other to contact the rescue team and look for first-aid supplies.

However, after Anya and Agnes left, they could not be contacted again.

At that time, apart from Anya and Agnes, one of Agnes' assistants and two of Aiden's bodyguards were also in the same lifeboat. The five of them disappeared!

Aiden used all means to find Anya, but he couldn't find her. He searched all the hospitals and temporary shelters, but there was no news about them.

…

Three days later, Galih and Indah arrived there.

Even though they didn't want to, Galih finally decided to try to find where the bodies were found.

As soon as Galih said this, Indah burst into tears.

"No, my daughter must be fine. Anya isn't there. I don't want to go there!" Indah said, crying out loud. She is sure Anya is fine.

"Mom, just rest at the hotel. Let me go with dad," Aiden said with a heavy heart. He was afraid that he would find Anya in that place.

Everyone around Aiden, both the workers and his bodyguards knew Anya and the two bodyguards who went with her. They went to that place not only to find Anya, but also the two bodyguards since they went missing along with her.

But the people who died from the disaster were so many that it was difficult to find them.

They searched the whole day, but there was still no news.

"Not finding her here is a good thing," Galih patted Aiden's shoulder and comforted him. He immediately called his wife and said, "Don't worry. Anya might be trapped somewhere and waiting for the flood to recede. We will continue to search."

"My daughter must be fine..." Indah said in a choked voice.

"Anya must be fine. You take care of yourself. I'll come back later," said Galih.

At night, Aiden's bodyguards returned with bad news. They found the body of one of the bodyguards that the man ordered to protect Anya.

Many stab wounds were found in his body, showing that he had struggled with all his might before he finally died.
