Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO
Chapter 457 - Barrier

Anya was sitting in the car and suddenly sneezed several times. Abdi immediately felt worried and asked, "Madame, are you alright? Are you sick?"

Anya shook her head. "I am fine."

She leaned against the car's window and thought deeply about the matter.

Aiden once wanted to divorce her because of his health. At that time, his eyesight could not recover and he was afraid that he could not protect Anya so he wanted to separate from her.

Anya had lived with Aiden for a long time. She understood Aiden's nature. She knew Aiden always thought things through and couldn't express it easily.

But the problem now was not with Aiden's health nor with the Atmajaya Group company. Was this all her fault?

Anya didn't know what wrong she had done and she didn't know what Aiden was hiding either.

She could only trust Aiden.

A few days ago, Aiden suddenly changed drastically. At first, she really thought that Aiden still loved Keara.

But after she calmed down, Anya felt Aiden was not the type of man to accept a woman who had betrayed him.

Ardan might still have loved his first love. Ivan too, maybe he wasn't able to forget Anya not because she was his first love, but because of his guilt for what Imel had done to Diana.

Meanwhile, Aiden was a very straight person and had high pride. How could he possibly accept Keara again after what she did?

Anya thought deeply about the matter and finally mustered up all her courage to meet Aiden at the office. She was also ready if Aiden refused her so she left a letter for Aiden.

Anya knew, if it was true that her mother was guilty, Aiden would understand everything and forgive them for he loved her beyond the past grudge.

Nobody knew better how much Diana and Anya have struggled and worked hard to survive all this time than Aiden.

Aiden would never blame or even take revenge on them.

Anya looked outside the window. It started to rain lightly.

This year, her vanilla garden would be harvested. She initially planned to sell it to Galih, but she did not want to have any contact with the Pratama Family anymore.

Finally, she looked for other buyers. Even though the price was not as high as Galih's offer, at least Anya didn't need to have any contact with the family.

She felt much calmer now.

…

Aiden was sitting in his room, stroking the perfume bottle given by Anya. This was a perfume that Anya created especially for him.

After this, Anya might not be by his side anymore. Only this perfume bottle would keep him company for the rest of his life.

Around ten in the evening, Aiden took a shower and lay down in the room inside his office.

He spent all of his time living in the office when he didn't come home.

He didn't want to go to a hotel nor return to the Atmajaya Family house. He also didn't want to live in an apartment alone. Finally, he decided to stay in the office and make himself busy with work to reduce his longing for Anya.

Without Anya beside him, Aiden couldn't sleep. He could only drown in alcohol to make all of his feelings die. Every morning, the maid cleaning Aiden's room could smell the wine's aroma filling the room.

He turned on a song, a song Anya chose as her ringtone, the one that represented them.

...

I want to grow old with you, continue to be in your arms ...

I want to grow old with you, look into your eyes to sleep soundly over me ...

I want to be with you, to share everything with you ...

Forever with you ...

…

Wonderful memories flashed through Aiden's mind. Only this could calm his heart a little.

Only his memories with Anya could keep Aiden alive.

Only Anya…

In the blink of an eye, the moon changed. The end of the year was approaching, so all the shops were holding big promotions, including Iris.

When Esther decided to go for treatment, all duties and responsibilities were finally left to Mila as the store manager.

Every day, Anya would discuss Iris' plans with Esther via phone calls.

During their treatment, Esther and Diana also spent their time traveling to various places. Anya often saw it from the pictures they shared on social media.

Seeing that Esther and Diana were so happy healed Anya's heart a little.

Since Anya wrote a letter to Aiden at that time, she did not see Aiden again. She focused all her attention on work.

Anya went to Iris at eight in the morning every day and came home at eight in the evening. During the day, she would go to the garden on the top floor.

When working at Iris, Anya always wore a mask and protective clothing so as not to affect her pregnancy.

She couldn't return to work as Aiden's secretary at the Atmajaya Group, but that didn't mean she would abandon Iris. At the same time, Anya tried to protect the baby in her womb as best she could.

Keara's Parfume was right in front of Iris. Every day, Keara saw Anya come and go from Iris in full clothes. Keara felt very angry when she thought back about Aiden's child that Anya currently conceived.

Around ten in the evening, Keara came home from her shop. She accidentally passed Iris and peeked inside.

Currently, Mila was arranging her employees to prepare year-end promo gifts.

When she saw Keara, Mila was momentarily stunned. Keara smiled slightly while looking at Mila and left Iris.

"You guys do it first, I'll buy food for you," Mila said to her employees when she saw Keara leave.

A few moments later, Mila exited Iris and headed to the underground parking lot. Seeing Mila's arrival, Keara turned on her car's dimmer and showed her whereabouts to Mila.

Mila immediately ran quickly towards Keara's car. At the same time, Keara took out a bag from under her car seat.

As soon as Mila got into the car, Keara immediately gave the bag to Mila.

Seeing the contents in the bag, Mila gasped. "Miss Keara, what do you want?"

"Your shop must be very busy because of the year-end event. If Anya accidentally fell and had a miscarriage, wouldn't that be considered an accident? What do you think?" Keara stretched out her hand and looked at her pretty nails with a smile.

Mila's face immediately changed drastically at Keara's wish. She immediately returned the bag she was holding to Keara. "Miss, I can't do it. I cannot accept this money!"

"You don't need to push Anya. I can get someone to do it. As long as you can cover it properly and don't involve my shop then do it," Keara gave the bag once again to Mila. "And take this."

"If Mr. Aiden investigates it, I..."

"What are you afraid of? Aiden wants to come back with me. The baby in Anya's womb is just a barrier between us. How could Aiden blame you if you got rid of that baby? Instead, he would be grateful," Keara interrupted.
