Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO
Chapter 96 - Boring

"After your stepmother had a miscarriage, you went to the Mahendra Family to hide. Then what happened?" Aiden asked, looking at Anya, "Tell me the truth, Anya!" He raised his voice and looked at her with a cold gaze.

Anya's heart beat faster. She looked a little scared because of the growl that came out of Aiden's mouth.

That day…

If her mother hadn't come in time to save Anya from her father's punishment, maybe Anya would have died in her father's hands.

She had begged and wept uncontrollably in front of her father. She really didn't mean to harm her stepmother. But her father didn't care at all. What happened could not be returned. It was no use to cry over spilt milk.

Anya had never told anyone about this. Even Raka thought that that night Anya's mother picked Anya from his house. He did not know that Deny was the one who brought Anya home to punish her.

But looking at Aiden's face at this moment, Anya knew very well that the man knew something.

Anya's face stiffened. She didn't dare lie to Aiden, but she didn't dare to tell the truth either.

Aiden watched Anya closely. Resentment shone across his cold face, "Think carefully about the answer." He warned Anya because he didn't want to hear lies from her lips.

"I'm afraid." Anya said in a low voice and slightly trembling.

"What are you afraid of?" Aiden asked, holding Anya's hand.

"I'm afraid to remember those memories again. I was afraid that I would have to put those times in my mind again. I'm afraid I won't be able to forget it again." Anya replied. Her hand was tightly grasping Aiden's, seeking for his warmth and support from him. Only a low whisper came from her lips while her throat felt tight.

"I don't want to remember it anymore. Please don't ask that question again. I beg you." She said.

Aiden took a deep breath and stroked Anya's hair gently, "Remember, from now on, you don't owe anything to the Mahendra Family and also the Tedjasukmana Family. Don't let them treat you as they pleased."

"Hmm ..." Anya muttered while nodding her head obediently.

Before he was with Anya, Aiden didn't care if he had to go abroad every day. No one was waiting for him, no one objected to his leaving. However, this time he felt very reluctant.

His wife was too gentle and kind. He did not want to tell what had happened in her childhood. She must've forgiven all those who wronged her.

She did not blame the Mahendra family for returning her to her father, nor did she bear a grudge against her abusive father for nearly beating her to death.

"I hope we will be happy forever. No one will bother you and hurt you again." Aiden said, kissing the top of Anya's head.

Anya hugged Aiden's body and leaned back in his shade, "There will not be a single person who dares to hurt me as long as I am with you." She replied in a soft voice while leaning on Aiden's arms.

Anya felt safe with Aiden. She felt peaceful and at ease. The man had the strength to guard and protect her. Aiden also didn't like anyone because the woman he loved was gone.

There was only Anya…

However, how long would all of this last?

After arriving at the airport, Harris hurriedly took care of Aiden's and his bodyguards' flights. Anya held Aiden's hand, unwilling to let go.

But Aiden really had to go at this time…

Anya saw Aiden and his guards pass through the examination gate with a sad look. She didn't know what had happened to her, but seeing Aiden leaving her alone at home, her heart felt empty.

She didn't know what made her mood decrease. She wasn't sure if it was a story about her past or because Aiden would go away for a week and leave her alone at home. Anya was used to having Aiden by her side, so the man's departure made her think back to when she had to live alone.

Her lips opened, calling her husband's name in a low voice, "Aiden ..." Tears fell, trickling down her cheeks.

Harris felt a little uneasy, "Madame, sir will only be away for a while." If Aiden heard Anya's cries, he would not be able to leave her.

Of course, Aiden heard Anya's cries. There was no way he could miss the cry of the woman he loved. He turned to Anya, saw her covering her mouth and was crying silently.

She thought that if she didn't make a sound, Aiden wouldn't know that she was crying.

Aiden lowered his head and said something to the bodyguard beside him. Then, he continued walking as if he did not know that Anya was crying.

Seeing Aiden's figure disappearing in the crowd, Anya bursted into tears. Maybe a little too much crying just because Aiden was away for one week, but what happened to her recently made the burden on her heart even feel heavier. She didn't want to be left alone like before…

Harris's cell phone suddenly rang. He immediately picked it up when he saw Aiden's name on the screen, "Sir, what do you need?"

Aiden gave Harris some instructions, but Anya couldn't hear them. Anya wiped her tears as she looked at Harris questioningly. 

A few moments later, airport employees approached Anya and invited Anya to a special room. She followed the employees in confusion, but Harris assured her that all of this was on the order of Aiden and Aiden certainly wouldn't let anything happen to her.

"Are they going to take us to Aiden?" Anya asked in confusion.

Harris nodded while following Anya into the waiting room.

Aiden's figure stood in front of a glass window that overlooked the plane's landing path. He was staring at the starry night sky with a daze, and didn't know what he was thinking.

The glass window in front of him reflected a woman's figure who was walking towards him. His lips curled into a faint smile.

Anya approached Aiden and hugged him from behind, "Aiden ..."

"Hmm ..." He muttered while holding a small hand that hugged his waist. He rarely used his power to do things, especially to break rules like this. However, for Anya's sake, he could do anything.

"I want to be with you a little longer." Anya said while leaning her head on Aiden's back.

Aiden turned and took Anya in his arms.

The bodyguards around them immediately retreated, leaving Mr. and Madam Atmajaya to enjoy their time alone.

Aiden and Anya sat in chairs facing the window, looking at the planes that took turns in taking off and landing. Aiden's hand wrapped around Anya's shoulder while Anya rested her head comfortably on Aiden's shoulder. They waited for Aiden's departure while talking and enjoying the night view.

From afar, Harris witnessed with a faint smile on his face. He wished Aiden happiness because he'd also be happy as long as Aiden was happy.

He took out his cell phone and took a photo of Anya and Aiden who were facing the window from a distance. The picture of the two of them was so beautiful that it was like a painting of the night sky. Then, Harris sent it to Nico.

Nico had just taken his client back to the hotel when he received the photo.

He was still sitting in his car, in the hotel parking lot, looking at the photo sent by Harris. He groaned as if he didn't like the sight, but his lips turned into a faint smile.

He shook his head seeing his cold uncle was in love. Then, Nico sent the photo to Raka and said while pinning a message, "My uncle makes a single man like me jealous. I also want to have a girlfriend who can keep me company at all times."

Raka could recognize Anya and Aiden in the photo with just one look. The photo looked so beautiful that it almost looked like a painting.

But the photo made his eyes hurt. He only answered briefly, "Nico, let's go have a drink."

Nico refused Raka's invitation, "I just met a client and have been drinking all night. Next time."

As soon as he saw Nico's refusal, Raka immediately called him.

"Where are you? I'll see you." Raka said as soon as Nico picked up his call.

"I can't accompany you. My uncle is out of the country and I have to take care of my aunt so you don't come near her. I will return to my uncle's house and be a servant to my aunt." Nico put down his cell phone and started the car, then immediately left the place.

"If I were with you, wouldn't you be able to take better care of me so that I wouldn't approach Anya?" Raka muttered irritably.

Nico just laughed, "What do you want?"

"My hand is injured. If my mom or Raisa saw it, they would definitely make a fuss. Let me stay with you for a few days." Raka said.

Aiden asked Nico to stay at his house for a few days. He asked Harris to accompany him, but Harris refused.

How boring it would be if he had to live alone. If Raka could accompany him…

"Where are you? I will pick you up!" Nico agreed to Raka's request immediately.
