Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO Chapter 13
Advertisement
As soon as their elevator reached the lobby, Aiden and Anya immediately stepped out. Everyone in the lobby immediately stopped whatever they were doing and immediately saluted Aiden.
Anya felt awkward seeing everyone looking down at her. Even though those people didn't pay attention to her, she was currently walking with Aiden so she was also the center of everyone's attention.
When she glanced at the receptionist, the woman who had refused his arrival was gone. Anya did not know that the receptionist had lost her job because she was being polite to her.
As she stared at the reception desk, a man rushed over to Aiden. The man's face was handsome with minus glasses in his eyes, making him look smart. He looked very neat from head to toe, not a single strand of hair came out of the order. He was tall and nearly matched Aiden's height. In contrast to Aiden's white skin like a stranger, this man's skin was olive yellow, showing the thickness of his Indonesian blood.
The man immediately bowed before Aiden. Unlike the others, Aiden responded to the man by tapping him on the shoulder, causing the man to straighten up.
"Harris, let's go now," said Aiden.
"Yes sir." Harris replied immediately.
Hearing that name, Anya immediately realized that this man was Harris, Aiden's personal assistant and confidant. In a way, Harris was Aiden's right hand man.
Harris noticed Anya's presence and nodded his head slightly. Anya nodded back and followed Aiden back to his car.
A luxurious black car stopped right in front of the three of them as they waited in the lobby. Before they could take a step, someone walked out of the driver's door. That person was Abdi, Aiden's driver who was ordered to pick up Anya this morning.

The middle-aged man immediately opened the door for Aiden and Anya, while Harris stepped toward the front passenger seat. When he looked at Anya, Abdi smiled in a friendly manner, "Please, sir, miss."
Anya returned the smile warmly, "Thank you, sir. Sorry for this morning. "
Abdi only nodded briefly. He did not dare to linger and buy time for his boss. He immediately closed the door and got back into the driver's seat
After entering, Anya was immediately amazed when she saw the inside of the car. The car was very luxurious. Although his father also had many luxury cars lined up in his garage, none of her father's cars was the equivalent of Aiden's car. There was even a screen separating the driver and passenger sections in the middle.
She sat very upright, fearing she would accidentally touch something and broke it. If something was broken, she won't be able to replace it.
As she sank into her amazement, her eyes subconsciously fell on Aiden. The man was closing his eyes, looking exhausted. Even with his eyes closed, Aiden's face still looked extraordinarily handsome as if beautifully carved by well-known craftsmen.
She would marry this handsome man. Wasn't this like a dream come true?
Looks, wealth, power… What didn't this man have? Any woman would bend her knees before this man, begging him to marry her. But this man chose her instead.
Supposedly, Anya felt that she was the luckiest woman in the world because she was one that this extraordinary man chose. However, unfortunately Anya did not love him.
….
The marriage registration process happened very quickly. Anya held her marriage book in disbelief. She was pensive while holding the book, her eyes seemed unfocused.
She opened the book and saw that her and Aiden's photos had decorated it. Her brain couldn't digest that she was married.

She was married!
With Aiden Atmajaya!
"We will pack all the things in your house," Aiden said, breaking Anya's reverie.
Anya looked up, seeing Aiden who said it while closing her eyes.
"Ah ... But ..." Anya couldn't digest all the things that were happening so fast. Wasn't their marriage just a contract marriage? Should she also live with Aiden?
'Contract marriage…'
They were married only because of their own interests.
Harris initially opposed this marriage because Aiden was in a disadvantaged position. Aiden had to spend a lot of money to pay for Anya's mother's hospital fees, but what Anya could give him in return?
In the end, Anya offered her mother's flower garden as a guarantee that she would surely pay her debt someday. After all her debts are paid off, she would be free again.
Meanwhile, Aiden was satisfied with Harris's decision. With the flower garden as a guarantee, Anya would become more attached to him and would not be able to escape from his grasp.
Aiden just looked at Anya with a raised eyebrow.
Anya could only be silent and shut her mouth tightly. Right now, all she could do was follow Aiden's words and orders. She owed this man a debt of gratitude and would do her best to help this man so that she could pay all her debts.
After arriving at his house, Anya hurried downstairs and packed up. She was assisted by Harris and Abdi while Aiden waited in his car.
She entered her room and took out a bag to pack all his belongings. Anya did not have too many things. Most of her belongings were old stuff because she didn't have money to shop or buy anything new.
She kept her mother's things neatly arranged at home, hoping that one day her mother would come back. The longest pictures of her and her mother filled the entire house, making the house warm and full of love. Only these photos were the treasure she had.
After everything was done, Abdi helped Anya carry her bag into the car. Meanwhile Anya locked the door of her house as if she was leaving the house.
This time, Anya would leave the house for quite a long time. Precisely so that she could pay off all her debts.
When she closed the door of the house, she wondered whether she could one day return to this house with his mother. Even though it was small and simple, there were too many memories in this house, making her miss those times.
Memories of when Anya and her mother tried to rise from adversity after the divorce of her parents…
Happy memories between the two of them ...
Sad memories of when her mother fell ill and made Anya have to struggle alone ...
And the present memories that were still freshly filled with tears, suffering and struggle.
Today, Anya closed the door of her house feeling scared and happy too.
She was afraid to imagine a future that was not clear, but also happy because she did not have to walk alone anymore.
Maybe she didn't love Aiden, but at least she didn't have to face it all alone now. Aiden would help her through all of this. Aiden would carry some of the burden in her heart.
At least, there would be someone who was always beside her.
Now, her name was no longer Anya Tedjasukmana, but Anya Atmajaya.

Wander West, in Shadow
BOOK 1 COMPLETED A young wizard journeys west, through dark forests and dangerous lands, searching for something. Accompanied by a wild witch who has secrets of her own, they come across terrible creatures, hauntings, cursed villages, and memories from their past. Who else will they meet along their journey, and to find what he is looking for, how far will the wizard have to wander west? NOTE: The above synopsis is intentionally written to be as spoiler-free as possible. If you would like a more in-detail synopsis, one that contains minor spoilers, please check out the "Synopsis" chapter at the beginning of this fiction. If you read and enjoy, please leave a rating or review! FORMERLY TITLED: THE GLIMMERLING This story was formerly titled "The Glimmerling", because the first part was a short story of that title; it has since been expanded upon, thus the title change. Chapters 1-8 (30k words) are the first 'arc', if you want to get a feel for the story. To give some context on the setting: Magic is a bit weaker in this story than you might be used to, and we start off following some relatively new magic users. For some perspective, being able to light a campfire with magic is considered relatively advanced for someone who is the age of the main character. Magic can become very powerful - and there are some examples of powerful wizards within this story - but it's not where the main characters are yet. Part of the story is about following them as they learn more about magic. Enemies are also very dangerous, and running, hiding, or trying to talk their way out of a dangerous situation is often a better choice than fighting for the characters. While I have added tags for traumatizing content, sexuality, violence, swearing, etc. I try to avoid super-explicit descriptions of these things. But they are part of the story.

The moment I discovered it, I knew I would change the world. Once I finally realized what it actually was... ...I already had. — V. B. Fontaine, PhD

When Plush comes to Shove
An: So the last synopsis wasn’t really all that good, it was just some mumbo jumbo with no actual point to it so I decided to make a new one that’s a bit more accurate. Leo Lush, just your average everyday (slightly chubby) schmuck, or at least he would be if he didn’t carry around a stuffed toy everywhere he went.I mean, he was a man who could read the atmosphere a bit so put it away in his bag whenever having a stuffed toy out would be rude but other than that he brought it with him all the time, it was a memento from his girlfriend who had died three years ago and keeping it close made him feel better. That’s also why his classmates gave him the nickname “Plush”, though that's neither here nor there. One day at the train station he’d lost his dearest stuffed toy, one of his classmates found it and lobbed it towards him, something that they’d already done many times before, but this time something went wrong and Leo found himself falling in front of the train due to the force of the throw. Now follow Leo as the spirit that developed in his stuffed toy and killed him forces his ghost into another world to possess a different stuffed toy. He doesn’t know much about the world or why he’s there but what he does know is that according to a magic book his girlfriend was also sent to this very world when she died in a plane accident three years ago. An: For those who want to know a bit more about what kind of story this will be: I want it to be a chill feel-good story and stay as far away from those despair-fest stories as possible (No offense to people who enjoy them, I’m just not one of you)Let me make something clear; I’m not writing this story with hope of it becoming really top tier among RRL (Though it did get above rank 500 once which I’m still very proud of even though it’s gone back down to ~850 at the time of writing this) I just want to write a story that I would enjoy reading, that’s why I’ll be mostly skipping over a lot of the parts that I skip when I read other stories, such as stats, the exact value of money and other such precise statistics that no one(as far as I’m aware) really cares about all that much. Just feels like a lot of effort for something superfluous.There’s a single exception and that’s one of the battles, it’s not a despair-fest or anything but it’s got a different feel than the rest of the story due to me being in a funky mood while I was writing it.
