Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO Chapter 2
Advertisement
The night had passed, the sunlight was starting to peek out from the gap in the window blinds that were slightly open.
Anya opened her eyes slowly and realized that she was in an unfamiliar room. She immediately woke up and tried to get up from his bed with fear.
"Ouch!" She grimaced in pain. Her whole body ached like being hit by a car. What happened?
Why was she suddenly in an unfamiliar room?
"Already up?" A deep male voice rang out. As if pulling like a magnet, Anya immediately turned to face the owner of the voice.
Her eyes widened when she saw the man. Water was still dripping from his body, only a bath towel wrapped around his waist while his six-pack abdominal muscles were clearly displayed in front of Anya. Her face immediately turned red and her mouth slightly gaped, but not a single word could come out of her lips. The sight was too tempting!
A smile appeared on Aiden's face when he saw Anya's reaction. One eyebrow raised slightly as he asked with a chuckle, "Do you like what you see?"
Anya looked up, staring at the face of the owner of the voice. No less beautiful than his body, his half-blooded face was so handsome. His eyebrows seemed to be neatly etched into his face, framing the eyeballs that looked slightly brown in the sun.
This was no time to admire the stranger before him! Awakening from his thoughts, Anya immediately stuttered a little, "Who ... Who are you? Why are you in my room?"
The smile on Aiden's face disappeared in an instant. His kind eyes instantly turned cold. This woman didn't know him?
"Your room?" asked Aiden. His voice sounded cold, making Anya who heard him shudder.
Anya was too panicked about the situation right now that she didn't notice that the room looked very luxurious. Instantly, her face immediately turned pale. She couldn't possibly rent a hotel room this luxurious! Why was she suddenly in a luxurious hotel room like this?

She lifted the blanket she was holding and gasped when she saw her whole body filled with the results of their lovemaking all night.
"Are you ... we ..." tears began to well up in Anya's eyes. Reluctance, anger, sadness and surprise seemed to mix together, leaving her speechless. Aiden saw Anya who was at a loss for words in front of him and realized that last night was the first experience for her.
Anya's legs felt very weak, she sat on the carpet in the room while her head hung weak on the edge of the bed. Memories after memories of last night began to come back into her mind. She was the one who begged the man to help her! She was the one who kissed the man's lips first!
She used both hands to cover her blushing face, both embarrassed and annoyed. How could she be so drunk and mistakenly enter someone else's room? She felt very stupid.
"Who did this to you?" asked Aiden.
Anya looked up and looked at Aiden in confusion. Did this? What did it mean?
Seeing Anya's confused gaze, Aiden could only sigh and shake his head. This woman was so innocent, she didn't know what happened to her. She did not know that someone had set her up on purpose.
"Who did you go out with last night? Don't you know that someone gave you medicine on purpose?"
Drug! Someone purposely gave her medicine! No wonder she was unconscious last night.
Anya felt a little dizzy and her ears buzzed as she tried to remember what happened last night. Her half-sister, Natali, invited her to meet and offered to help pay for her mother's treatment. When meeting him, Natali did not show any strange signs. Even Natali gave her a drink when she came struggling.

'Drink it!'
'Natali! Natali did it.'
"Looks like you know who did it." Aiden said.
Yes, Anya knew who did it. But why did Natali do this to her? Even though they were not siblings, Anya had never done anything bad to him. In fact, she treated Natali like a sister.
Aiden looked at Anya who was deep in thought and asked, "Anya Tedjasukmana, you don't recognize me?"
Anya gasped at the question. He looked up and asked, "Do we know each other? How can you know my name?" Anya really doesn't know this man. She will never forget if she ever met a man this handsome.
Anya's answer made Aiden even angrier. His lips were clenched and his hands were tightly clenched into fists. This woman didn't recognize him.
"Who are you? Have we met before?" asked Anya again. Her gaze was slightly suspicious as she looked at Aiden.
The questions only made Aiden even more furious. He kicked the small table beside him hard and turned to change clothes, leaving Anya terrified alone.
Seeing this opportunity, Anya hurried to put on her clothes and fled from the room. She had to leave this place immediately. She had to find Natali and ask for an explanation of why Natali did this to her.
After leaving the bathroom, Aiden saw his room was empty. The figure of the woman who spent the last night with him was no longer there. However, Aiden looked calm and smiled faintly.
He immediately called his trusted assistant.
"Harris, check the CCTV last night. Find out who Anya met last night and who sent Anya into my room."
"Yes sir. But…" Harris answered doubtfully.
Aiden stared at his assistant coldly. He did not like wordy people. Usually, his assistant was always assertive and responsive to handle all the tasks he gave him. However, for some reason, Harris was not behaving as usual today.
Today was a really bad day for Aiden. He reunited with Anya, but the woman didn't even know him at all and instead ran away from him. That alone put him in a very bad mood today. Plus, Harris's attitude made him even more annoyed.
"Sir, the photo of the woman who was with you last night has become widespread on the internet. The woman was seen entering the hotel and exiting your hotel room this morning."
Aiden frowned. It seemed the person who did this really planned everything well. Even the news was spreading fast.
"Find out who did it," Aiden said. He didn't seem to care about this news.
"Sir, your engagement to Miss Natali could go wrong because of this scandal. Your cooperation with the Tedjasukmana family will…" Harris tried to remind him. However, before he could finish his sentence, Aiden waved his hand.
Aiden was not a fool. He knew that it was very likely Natali Tedjasukmana who had done all this. They both got caught in an arranged marriage because of their family. The Atmajaya family and the Tedjasukmana family wanted to join forces and increase their wealth.
Unfortunately, Natali couldn't accept Aiden's condition. The woman thought that Aiden was still blind and she didn't want to have a disabled husband. She tried to find a way to cancel this engagement without harming her family.
Aiden only needed to gather evidence to strengthen his allegations.

Fortunately for John, his school is the largest in the world and so there were still many students who didn't know about him to annoy him. Unfortunately for John, he attracted the attention of a certain student who seems friendly enough but definitely has ulterior motives.
