Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO Chapter 14
Advertisement
After half an hour's drive, their car started to enter an elite residential area. However, they did not stop at one of the houses in the area. Their car continued on, entering the interior of the housing to a fairly remote area. Their car kept going until they arrived at a large gate which was very beautiful. The gate was not tightly guarded, only a CCTV on one side.
The gate suddenly opened automatically after Aiden's car stopped in front of it, letting the luxury car walk in.
They still had to go through a long road for 15 minutes, until a very large and luxurious house was plastered in front of them. The house was built in modern style with a large flower garden in front of it.
"Iris ... Very beautiful..." Anya muttered, looking at the flower garden in front of her. Her gaze looked dreamy as if she was in the middle of a paradise filled with flowers.
Aiden who had previously closed his eyes immediately woke up. He looked at the woman beside him gently.
Anya seemed to feel Aiden's gaze on her so she immediately turned to look at him, "Why is this flower garden full of irises? Usually people prefer to plant roses."
Aiden immediately turned around, turned his back on Anya, "Someone once said that she really likes irises..."
Anya only nodded when she heard Aiden's answer. She didn't know who Aiden was referring to, but she knew that Aiden filled the entire garden with irises because of someone.
Her eyes returned to the flowers around her in amazement. Being too engrossed in gazing at the flower gardens around her, she didn't even realize how extraordinary the house in front of her was.
When their car arrived at the door of the house, about 10 people were ready and lined up, facing the car.

"Welcome, sir!" They greeted them when Aiden got out of his car. The greeting sounded strong and respectful.
Anya who saw the incident immediately hesitated to get out of the car, as if her feet were stuck on the ground. She was not used to seeing things like that so she didn't know what to do.
After a few minutes, Anya did not get out of the car either. Aiden who felt astonished immediately turned around and looked into the car. Seeing Anya looking nervous and scared, he immediately stretched out his hand to her, helping the woman to get out of the car.
Anya was stunned for a moment to see Aiden's helping hand. Since the beginning of the meeting, Aiden had always been cold. She didn't think that the man would show her a little soft spot.
She welcomed the man's helping hand, putting her hand over Aiden's. Aiden immediately grabbed Anya's hand, leading her to get out of the car. Even though Aiden's face remained cold, Anya could feel a little softness in Aiden's hand when she touched it.
"Welcome, Madame!" The servants immediately greeted her when she came down. Anya just replied with an awkward smile. Her whole face felt stiff.
Unlike the other servants who looked polite and respectful, a middle-aged woman stepped forward and suddenly hugged Anya without warning, "Welcome." She said warmly.
Anya was surprised when she was suddenly hugged by someone she didn't know, but the woman's warmth made her feel comfortable so she hugged her back, smiling a little. Aiden stood still beside her and did not stop her.
"Mrs. Hana, please show Anya around. I'll be in my room." He said as he walked away. The servants once again lowered their heads as Aiden passed them. Meanwhile, Anya felt confused about being left alone.

She looked at Aiden's back with a look of reluctance and a little panic. Aiden was the only person she knew in this house and now that man left her with the servants she didn't know.
Seeing the panic in Anya's eyes, the middle-aged woman immediately held her hand gently, trying to calm her down.
"Madame, I am Hana. I am the butler of this house." Said the middle-aged woman.
"Don't call me madam, ma'am. Just call me Anya." Anya answered, smiling faintly.
Hearing Anya's answer, Hana immediately smiled broadly. She had been working in this house for a long time since Aiden was a child. She also helped take care of Aiden since childhood, to the point that she thought of Aiden as her own son. Because of her loyalty, Hana became one of Aiden's confidants, just like her son, Harris.
Hana also watched Aiden's development from childhood, adolescence to adulthood, but she never saw Aiden with a woman. When Aiden reached his 30s, Hana became increasingly worried about Aiden's future.
Could Aiden find a match? Could he find a good and sincere woman, not a woman who just wanted to use him?
Her worries were now unfounded. In the end, Aiden married a woman who was not only beautiful, but also humble. That woman was not at all arrogant towards servants like her.
"Very well, Anya. Let's go around," She said as she walked, escorting Anya around the house that would be her residence. Anya immediately followed Hana. The other servants immediately bowed their heads when Anya passed them, after which they left to do their respective jobs.
Hana escorted Anya to see the whole house. The house consisted of only 2 floors, but the size was enormous. There were 5 bedrooms alone.
The family room had a large window overlooking the lake. The lake was also the property of the Atmajaya Family. The kitchen was equipped with various sophisticated equipment, resembling that of a chef's dream kitchen.
The garden at the front of the house was decorated with amazingly beautiful iris flowers, while a large swimming pool resided in the backyard, making the house look even more luxurious.
Flower garden, pool, lake…
How much did this property really cost? The Atmajaya family was truly extraordinary…
The longer she walked around the house, the more stunned Anya was. How could there be such a perfect person in the world? Handsome, rich, smart…
"Mr. Aiden comes home very rarely. Usually he will sleep in the office because it will make his job easier." Hana complained.
'Ah! So that's why there is a bedroom in Aiden's office. Apparently, Aiden spent more time in the office than at his own house.'
"But now that Anya is there, I'm sure Mr. Aiden will often come home," Hana continued, smiling happily.
Anya couldn't respond to Hana's statement and could only reply with an awkward smile. She and Aiden were not really a husband and wife who loved each other. They were only involved in this marriage because of their individual needs. Anya needed Aiden because of money, while Aiden needed Anya to carry out a plan that she didn't know about.

Omnipocalypse Monsters(Shelved Timeline)
System Edit: This timeline has been shelved, but the adventures of the Omegas and her kids will continue in the next System Update Timeline with additional foes and challenges early on to guide the Omegas into a less destructive path of protection.The Omnipocalypse was every apocalypse humans ever imagined all happening at once, zombies, plagues, nukes, EMPs, Robot uprisings. Not just the earth either, It happened to every World ever dreamed up by men too: heaven, hell, and every other afterlife or spirit world ended, plus the worlds of books and stories bled into reality. It all broke apart and either; became new places on the chaotic Earth or part of the even messier spirit world. Magic beasts mutated by radiation, Robots mastering Magic, the mixture of everything made the horrors... well, more horrible. Omega; A young Woman with few memories wakes to find she has spent 2500 years in stasis, in a basement of scientific horrors. Creatures and Things that could supposedly destroy the world if ever let free. Horrors of which she was the last to get free. Rather then Quest for world domination or destruction; Omega keeps getting drawn into a protective role over other orphans, lost monsters, and broken AIs. So she decides to build something to help all her little monster family be safe. -------This story is meant to be a behind the scenes look at stories about kids solving problems that should be beyond them. I always wanted to see a story about Professor Oak, Dumbledore, or any other mentor who trains the main characters. I like the idea of someone looking at the apocalyptic world and deciding to make it safe enough that a small child can wander off and make some monster their pet. The pokemon games have fun systems to consider the behind the scenes workings of, like what training a team rocket member goes through to become a villain cut out for children to defeat. how they prevent a deific pokemon from accidentally murdering some little rat with its immense psionic power. However, the story itself is not really meant to be a pokemon parody, I draw inspiration from every genre of fiction, any type of game, this story is the only one I plan of ever writing without a clear cut ending planned, I love the infinite storytelling capacity of things like Doctor who's TARDIS, the Stargate or Rick's portal gun. In this case, I wanted the setting itself to be one where any and every story might happen. Cover Image by kalli gruen from Pixabay Discord Image by Digital Photo and Design DigiPD.com from Pixabay
