Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO

"Anya is very disappointed. She really cares for her family and considers Natali as her own sister. But Natali kept trying to harm her. This time, Natali was trying to tarnish her and her actions could no longer be tolerated," Aiden\'s eyes flashed with a dangerous gaze.

"Don\'t drag this problem for too long. Moreover, Anya will take part in the perfume competition. Before the competition starts, don\'t let bad news spread about her," Diana said.

​​

"Tomorrow morning, Anya and I will go to the hot springs for a vacation. Raka will also be there, so he could prove that we were not in the city. What happened to Natali has nothing to do with us," Aiden has arranged everything neatly.

"Not tomorrow. Go today!" Diana said.

"Today?" After pondering for a moment, Aiden nodded and immediately ordered his subordinates to send a helicopter for a pick up so that he and Anya could go straight to the hot springs to meet Raka.

When Anya came out of the bathroom, she saw that their luggage was already prepared. Aiden was wearing a white shirt and jeans, while carrying a bag.

"Where are you going?" Anya asked.

"We are going now. The helicopter is waiting," Aiden said.

"Oh? Aren\'t we leaving tomorrow?" Anya\'s hair was still wet and she was already wearing her nightgown.

"We can sleep in the hotel right away. When we wake up tomorrow, everything will be finished," Aiden replied.

"I will immediately change clothes," said Anya.

Aiden and Anya immediately said goodbye to Diana and left.

An hour later, their helicopter stopped at a clearing, about two kilometers from the hotel. Someone immediately picked them up and carried their bags straight to their hotel room.

Anya had just gotten off the helicopter so she felt uncomfortable. Going with a car felt like it would make her stomach even more nauseous. Therefore, Anya invited Aiden to take a walk while enjoying the night air.

"Aiden, how about we take a walk?"

Aiden nodded and then looked at his guards, signalling to put some distance between them.

Anya felt this was the right time to release all her anger along with the night breeze. Her hands interlocked with Aiden\'s as she walked down the street that was illuminated by the streetlights.

…

Raka had been swimming in the hotel pool for over an hour. As soon as he came out of the pool, he could hear familiar laughter.

His gaze immediately fixed on the voice and saw Anya and Aiden walking around while talking and laughing.

Aiden was wearing a bluetooth headset on his ear and a bodyguard informed him that Raka was near them. However, instead of avoiding Raka, Aiden brought Anya closer.

"It looks like there is a swimming pool in this hotel. Let\'s take a look. We can swim early in the morning tomorrow," said Aiden as he turned toward the pool.

Anya nodded and followed Aiden. Once they arrived at the swimming pool, they saw Raka.

"Raka? What a coincidence to meet here," said Aiden.

When she saw Raka, Anya was immediately shocked. "Raka? Aren\'t you at Nico\'s house?"

"Nico suggested that I take a vacation, so I stayed here a few days. I didn\'t expect to meet you here," Raka replied with a thin smile.

"We just…"

"We just came from outside. We\'ve arrived at this hotel since this afternoon," Aiden said before Anya could explain.

At first, Anya was confused as to why Aiden was lying. But she decided to trust Aiden because she knew her husband would not lie without reason.

"I\'m going back to my room. See you tomorrow," Raka said.

"Do you know what time the hotel restaurant is closed? We were very hungry and wanted to have dinner," Aiden asked on purpose.

Raka took his cellphone which he placed on a nearby table and looked at the screen. "It closes at half past twelve. You should still have time to eat,"

"Alright, let\'s eat. See you tomorrow," Aiden took Anya\'s hand toward the restaurant.

Raka could only stand by the pool, watching Anya and Aiden getting away with jealousy in his heart.

When he fell in love with Anya, he had never seen Anya so happy and calm by his side.

Anya was always busy at work and she had very little time for him. She was often tired and fell asleep on Raka\'s shoulder when they\'re out on a date.

But when with Aiden, Anya looked very cheerful and her face was radiating with great joy.

In the past, Raka also wanted to help Anya by giving money and funding her, but she refused.

Meanwhile, Aiden bought Iris for Anya and Anya received it.

Raka didn\'t understand the difference between what he had done for her in the past and what Aiden had done for her recently…

Why was Anya able to accept Aiden\'s help, but always refused help from him?

Raka didn\'t understand that Aiden wasn\'t just \'throwing\' his money at Anya for free. Aiden also taught Anya to try and depend on herself.

He taught Anya to grow up and earn her own money…

But what about Raka? He only gave Anya money, making her feel low in front of him.

When returning to his room, Raka just realized that there were so many missed calls on his cellphone, including from Natali, Mona, Deny and his family.

He didn\'t want to contact them, but he decided to open the messages.

[Irena]: Raka, Natali is missing. Her parents don\'t know where she is right now. Driver says Natali asked to be taken for shopping, but she just disappeared after that. Mother is very worried that something might happen to her.

[Mona]: Raka, are you able to reach Natali? I can\'t reach her though she always called me every night. There must be something going on. Where are you? Hurry back and help us find Natali.

[Deny]: Raka, you are engaged to Natali so you are also responsible for looking after your fiancée. Today I dreamed that Natali was crying continuously and suddenly, I got the news that she was missing. How can you as his fiancé not know?

Raka immediately called the driver of the Mahendra family. He couldn\'t believe that something bad had happened to Natali.

"Where did Natali go?" He asked.

"After dinner, Miss Natali said she wanted to visit her father in the hospital. She stopped by the fruit shop first. But after waiting for a long time, Miss Natali did not come back. I also can\'t call her cell phone," said the driver.

"The CCTV in the shop must have recorded where Natali went. Quickly find out if she went alone or if someone had kidnapped her. If she went alone, tell my mom. Let my mother take care of everything."

Raka had no intention of returning. In his opinion, this was just part of Natali\'s cunning trick to drag him home.

At the same time, Aiden and Anya were at the restaurant enjoying their dinner.

Aiden ordered kebabs and wine, while Anya ordered ramen to warm herself. While waiting for their dinner to be prepared, Aiden said, "I will invite Raka to have dinner with us,"

"Aiden, what\'re you planning this time?" Anya asked while glaring at her husband.

She couldn\'t understand why Aiden was doing all this. She also couldn\'t stop herself and followed Aiden in silence without knowing what the man was really thinking.
