Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO
Chapter 12 - I’m Willing

'Do I have to marry this man?'

This was the second meeting between Anya and Aiden. They didn't know each other and had never met before. You could say they both were strangers to each other. ​​

Anya didn't know anything about Aiden. She didn't know his background, his family, let alone the man himself. She didn't know what kind of person Aiden was. She also didn't know what Aiden's true nature was like. What if Aiden wasn't a really nice guy?

"But we don't know each other. Why do you want to marry me?" Asked Anya softly, not daring to express her opinion to Aiden.

Aiden tried to hold back the resentment in his heart. He didn't like it when he heard that the woman in front of him didn't remember him.

"You need my help and I also have my own plans. Is that reason enough for you?" Aiden calmly replied.

'Plan? What plan did Aiden mean?'

"What plan?" Anya asked back.

Aiden looked straight at Anya, but not a single word came out of his lips. His mouth was tightly closed as if he didn't want to tell Anya what he was thinking.

Was it possible that Aiden wanted to take revenge on Natali because his fiancée betrayed him? Was that why Aiden wanted to use it as a weapon to make Natali feel the same way he did?

Actually, Anya felt reluctant to do all this. She didn't want to marry a man she didn't love. But did she have any other options? This was the only way for Anya to save her mother. She had no other choice.

Only Aiden was the answer to all of her current problems.

She could only bow under Aiden's gaze, not daring to look at the man directly. Her hands moved restlessly. She didn't know what to say. Panic could be seen in her eyes as her face looked a little pale.

"Okay, I will marry you." In the end, Anya decided to accept it.

It felt like something was stuck in her throat when Anya said those words. She had given her freedom to a man she didn't know. On the other hand, she felt relieved as if the heavy burden she carried on her shoulders seemed to have been lifted. At least, she didn't need to think about her mother's constantly inflated hospital fees. With this, her mother's medication and care would be guaranteed.

Aiden felt very happy when he heard Anya's answer, but he did not want to show his feelings openly. He just smiled faintly and nodded. His hands were tightly clenched at his side, not because he was angry or upset. He held back the urge in his heart so that he would not hug the woman in front of him. He didn't want to make Anya even more afraid and keep her distance from him.

Aiden immediately got up and took his cellphone on the big table. He left Anya confused and alone while he made several phone calls. However, his eyes were never far from the figure of the woman sitting on the sofa in his office.

After finishing, he stepped back to Anya and said, "We will go to the registry office now to get the marriage documents."

'Eh? Now?' Anya's head felt dizzy. She did not expect that everything would happen this fast, 'Isn't this too sudden?'

"Right now?" She asked in surprise.

"Hmm ... Now," Aiden replied briefly. After that, he immediately walked out of his office, without waiting for a response from Anya.

Anya hurried to follow the man. Her legs weren't long enough to keep up with Aiden's wide steps so she had to jog to catch up with him.

After leaving the room, Anya saw Elise immediately stand up from her seat. The woman smiled when she saw Aiden come out of the room, but Aiden did not care about her seductive smile.

When she realized that her boss was ignoring her, her gaze turned to Anya who had caught up with Aiden. Her face was a little disgusted when she looked at Anya, as if Anya didn't deserve to be there at all.

Anya knew what that woman was thinking. The woman was evaluating her, feeling that she was far better in everything than Anya. Much prettier, more fashionable, and more worthy to be by Aiden's side.

The woman's gaze annoyed Anya. She didn't intend to compete with Elise. She didn't even love Aiden!

"Elise, cancel all meetings and gatherings today." Said Aiden.

Aiden's words immediately made Elise gasp and stare at her boss's face in amazement. During her work at this company, her boss never came home earlier than office hours. Aiden always worked late into the night and was known as a workaholic. She, as Aiden's assistant and secretary, of course volunteered to accompany Aiden until late at night. She hoped that one day her boss would realize her existence and began to fall in love with her.

Besides, Aiden had never been seen with women. The man also had no lover. This made Elise even more hopeful because her position was the most advantageous. Every day they met face to face and interacted in the office. She was the woman closest to Aiden.

Elise herself was an attractive woman. She had a beautiful and intelligent face. Many men fell on their knees before her. However, that didn't happen to Aiden. Her boss was completely unfazed even though she was wearing sexy clothes. She even thought that Aiden might not like women.

However, suddenly a woman appeared in his private office! A woman who was not beautiful, unattractive, seedy and looked poor!

Now Aiden not only left early, but canceled all meetings and gatherings! Because of this lowly woman!

"Eh! But, sir. Today…" Elise tried to prevent her boss from leaving. Not only because she didn't want her boss to go out with another woman, but because the next meeting was very important.

Aiden's steps came to a sudden halt. He turned his head slightly and looked at Elise coldly. His mouth didn't even say anything, but Elise could feel her boss's terrifying aura.

Anya happened to feel the grim aura too. Without even realizing it, she felt her body shudder and the hairs on her backs rose. This man was so creepy!

Elise lowered her head and closed her mouth. Her body seemed to be trembling a little with fear.

Meanwhile, Aiden walked back to his private elevator.

Behind him, Anya could only look at Elise sympathetically. What a pity, that woman looked really scared!

Noticing Anya's gaze on her, Elise glared back. The gaze was filled with anger as if she blamed Anya for Aiden's treatment of her. If stares could kill, maybe Anya was dead! A jealous woman was really terrible.

Anya decided to ignore the woman and followed Aiden into the elevator. However, she could still feel Elise as she glared at her back, as if her gaze was piercing through her spine.

Even when the elevator was about to close, Elise still looked at her with a look full of hatred.
