Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO
Chapter 72 - Doubts

Anya was determined to help and accompany Aiden until he recovered. Maybe when Aiden went abroad on work, she could learn some therapies that could be used for eye treatment or whatever. She must replace out and research more deeply so that she could be of use to Aiden's recovery!

After talking about Aiden, Anya didn't feel sleepy either so she stayed in the park to enjoy the night breeze. Hana, who was already feeling tired, finally said goodbye to Anya, leaving the woman alone with her thoughts and uneasiness that would not go away.

While Anya was still pensive on the garden terrace, Aiden and Harris had left the office. Aiden immediately returned to his room, but he could not see Anya anywhere near. There was only her cellphone sound which continued to be heard from above their bed. The cell phone kept ringing, indicating repeated incoming messages.

'Is Raka trying to contact Anya again?' Aiden felt jealous at the thought of that possibility. He frowned and his gaze became sharper. He immediately walked to the bed and took Anya's cellphone which was lying just like that.

Anya did not use a password on her cellphone so that Aiden could open it easily. As soon as he opened his cellphone, Aiden could see the posts made by Anya.

'I just found out that my husband's ex-lover has a face similar to mine. Am I just a substitute?'

Many people gave answers to Anya's questions so that the answers continued to pile up in the comments section. All of those answers made Aiden frown deeper. He put the cell phone on the nightstand and paused for a moment. It seemed Anya thought about his father's words that she was very similar to Keara. Did he have to explain this to Anya?

He would wait for Anya to return to the room and try to explain to her what exactly his relationship with Keara was. While waiting for Anya, Aiden decided to take a shower first.

Thirty minutes had passed, Anya was tired of sitting alone on the garden terrace so she decided to return to her room. When she entered the room, she saw Aiden had finished showering and was sitting on the edge of the bed to dry his hair. Anya immediately approached Aiden and took the towel that was held by the man, helping him to dry his hair.

Aiden sat quietly and let his wife help him, while Anya dried Aiden's hair without saying anything. Only silence existed between them.

"Keara is my step brother's fiancée. She died three years ago." Aiden said, breaking the silence between them. He waited for Anya to ask him Keara's identity, but Anya didn't ask so he decided to open the topic of conversation.

Anya was a little surprised when she heard Aiden's sudden explanation. She didn't expect Aiden to explain it all of a sudden, even though she didn't ask anything.

"Ah? I didn't ask about it." Anya said.

Aiden poked Anya's forehead slowly, "I know your brain must be thinking a lot of nonsense." Anya just stroked her forehead while pursing her lips, making Aiden chuckle at his wife's behavior.

Aiden stretched out his hand and took Anya into his arms, "As long as you are loyal to me, nothing will be able to separate us." He whispered those words, his lips touching Anya's hair, leaving a soft kiss mark on Anya's tiny head.

Anya just muttered indistinctly as she leaned her body in Aiden's arms.

But apparently, what Hana said and explained by Aiden didn't calm her down. She could not fall asleep even though she had been lying down for several hours. In fact, tomorrow she had to wake up early for her first day of work.

Even though Aiden and Hana had said that Keara was Aiden's sister-in-law's fiancé, Anya couldn't forget the thought that Aiden married her because she had a face similar to Keara's.

'Aiden, what do you really think? Why would you want to marry a woman who looks like your sister-in-law?'

Anya had never met Aiden's half-brother or his deceased lover, or any of his other families, apart from Bima. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if she met the entire Atmajaya family and they thought Anya was Keara?

Anya's brain continued to spin, like tangled threads that could not unravel. She felt very confused. What should she do?

The world was so big, but why did she have to have the same face as someone who died three years ago?

Suddenly a crazy thought entered Anya's mind. These thoughts continued to disturb her brain, leaving her unable to think clearly.

'Wait a minute…'

Aiden had said that he had met and knew her before, but Anya couldn't remember Aiden at all. Could it be that the person Aiden really meant was Keara, not Anya?

Aiden didn't see her. The man was not looking at her. 

Aiden saw Keara through her face…

Aiden once said that Anya had saved him. However, Anya felt that she never did. She'd never even met Aiden. She didn't know the man, how could she ever save him?

Was it possible that the person who saved Aiden was actually Keara?

Keara was the one who saved Aiden. But Keara had a relationship with Aiden's half-brother, Ivan, so Aiden and Keara could never be together. They must love each other, but their love went through many obstacles.

Anya woke up from her bed. He sat and looked at Aiden's face who was fast asleep. Her eyes widened.

'Does Aiden love his future sister-in-law? Isn't this forbidden love?'

Anya swallowed her saliva and was shivering with cold even though the thick blanket wrapped her entire body.

It turned out that she really was a substitute! Aiden's kindness wasn't shown for her! In the past, Aiden said that Anya had saved him, but actually the man was talking about Keara.

However, Keara was dead and would never return.

By chance, Natali sent Anya, a woman with a face similar to Keara's, to Aiden's hotel room. That man must have felt her resemblance to Keara so he would marry her.

All this time, Anya had always wondered why Aiden would marry her. It turned out that this was the real reason! Because she looked so much like Keara!

Anya wanted to understand all this and was encouraged, but somehow her heart was breaking. Her mood deteriorated in an instant. Aiden said he never loved any woman, then what about Keara? Did the man lie to her?

Anya laid back on the bed, closed her eyes and told her brain to stop thinking.

'Anya, don't be hypocritical. You don't love Aiden yourself, why do you sue that man to love you? There is only Keara in Aiden's heart and you are only her replacement.'

'As long as Keara stayed in his heart, Aiden would definitely protect you!'

'As long as you are Aiden's wife, you don't have to worry about your mother's hospital fees.'

'Aiden will even ask for the best treatment for you.'

'Think about your mother, think about your debts, think about your college ...'

'Being a substitute is not a problem! You don't love Aiden either. Why do you have to think about it?'

Anya tried hard to convince herself, but somehow, she felt hurt even more, as if someone was clutching her chest and making it difficult for her to breathe.

'Anya, you are really hypocritical!' She thought.

The resentment she felt for herself made her feel tired and finally fell asleep ...
