Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO Chapter 141

Raka could hear the noise in his room. When he opened his eyes, he saw Aiden staring angrily at him.
He felt his hands go numb. Shock filled his heart when he turned around and saw Anya lying down and leaning on his arm.
However, Raka immediately calmed down and looked at Aiden defiantly. His hand that hugged Anya immediately grabbed the woman's body tighter, "Aiden, did you come to this place to visit the doctor?"
"Brother Raka, there are many people outside now. How did you get along with my sister?" Natali asked. She didn't look angry or surprised but instead a little excited.
Raka wasn't afraid at all when he faced Aiden's deadly gaze, "Aiden, how much does Anya owe you? I will return everything. I'll pay for Aunt Diana's hospital fees. Let her go."
"Anya is mine. Don't interfere with my business." Aiden stepped forward and grabbed Anya's hand roughly, making her fall hard on the floor.
When she felt the pain, Anya immediately woke up and found herself lying on the ground.
She looked confused, didn't know where she was and what was happening. It looked like she fell from the same bed Raka was in.
What really happened?
"Sister! Why are you on the bed with him?" Natali said it out loud, trying to remind everyone what just happened.
Aiden's eyes looked so deadly as if they were about to pop out of their lids. He looked at Raka sharply, "What did you do to her?"
"We were in love three years ago. We don't need to explain anything to you." Raka deliberately provoked Aiden.
When Anya heard Raka's words, she immediately stood up from the floor, "Raka, what are you saying? I don't have any relationship with you."
"Anya, don't you remember our first kiss under the bergamot tree?" Said Raka on purpose.

"Raka! Don't ever discuss it again!" Anya shouted loudly.
Aiden stepped forward and grabbed Raka by the collar. His hand swung and hit Raka hard in the face.
Raka did not have time to avoid the attack. Aiden's punch landed on his face, causing his nose to bleed instantly.
Red blood immediately flowed down Raka's face, making the man feel angry. Both men stood up against each other looking very scary.
He didn't wipe the blood, and instead laughing, "Aiden, are you angry? Are you upset that Anya loves me? Can you not stand it when you hear that I am Anya's first kiss?"
"Raka, don't make me hate you." Anya gritted her teeth. It felt like she was about to die from anger. She did not expect Raka to do something this low.
"Ahh! You hate it! I regret not knowing the truth sooner and letting Anya experience this kind of injustice. I know Anya was forced to be with you. I will pay all what Anya owes you." Raka said with a sweet smile. His challenging words were aimed at Aiden.
Anya looked coldly at Raka. Her hands were tightly clenched as she said, "Raka, I don't want to see your face again for the rest of my life. You always do everything you want. You just follow your selfishness and never think of me!"
This was the first time Raka saw Anya this angry with him. But he felt reluctant and regretful when he saw Anya with Aiden.
"Anya, even after three years, I still love you. I think time will help me forget everything. But after seeing you again, I fell for the second time." Said Raka. This time, he completely ignored Aiden's existence, "The first kiss on that bergamot tree, the tree we planted, has grown and bore fruit this year. Why can't our love grow and develop like that tree?" Raka asked. His gaze was filled with love, still the same as it was three years ago.

"Brother Raka, do you realize what you are saying? Do you want to kill my sister? You know her now…" Shouted Natali frantically.
Aiden's heart ached to hear that. His eyes looked at Anya with a complicated gaze. Apparently, there was a story behind the bergamot that Anya accepted.
Raka and Anya kissed for the first time under the bergamot tree, the tree they planted as a symbol of their love. Currently, their symbol of love had grown and was bearing fruit.
Raka asked the flower shop to send the bergamot to Anya and she accepted it.
Anya said that she did not know that Raka gave the flower to her. Was she too stupid or was she lying to him?
"Anya, do you still want to stay here or go home?" Aiden said coldly.
"Of course I want to go home. My relationship with Raka ended three years ago. I don't know why he keeps saying crazy words like this." Anya immediately went to Aiden and held his hand, "Aiden, trust me. I have nothing to do with Raka."
"Anya, if you don't love me, why are you in my room?" Raka didn't want to miss this opportunity. Even though he didn't know what happened, he wanted to use this opportunity to free Anya from Aiden.
If Aiden got angry with Anya and divorced her, Anya would be free again.
The problems in the Atmajaya Family were too complicated for an innocent and simple girl like Anya.
"I was in my mother's room. Raisa suddenly appeared in front of my mother's room and said that your wound is infected and is being treated in this hospital too. I thought Aiden was still a long time away so I visited you briefly. You got hurt at my workplace, so I feel responsible too. But when I entered your room, there was a man clutching me from behind.
Anya said while looking around, "Where's Raisa?"
"Sister, Raisa and her friends are outside. Aiden and I stopped them so they couldn't enter when we saw you and Raka sleeping in the same bed. There is no one else in this place." Natali said on purpose.
Anya immediately panicked hearing this, "Let me talk to Raisa. She told me Raka's room and invited me to this place. She saw with her own eyes when someone covered my mouth."
"Aiden, is Raisa allowed to enter this place?" Asked Natali.
"Aiden, someone knocked me out and put me on the bed. Trust me!" Anya was panicked, not knowing how to explain her innocence.
Then why was Natali here? And why did she bring Aiden to this place?
When they entered Raka's room, they saw Anya lying on Raka's bed. Didn't this sound like a conspiracy? Someone had planned everything…
"No need to call Raisa." Aiden took out his cell phone and pressed a button, "I was in Raka's room. Get rid of everyone in the front corridor immediately."
"Brother, are you there? What happened?" Raisa's scream was heard from the outside, "What are you doing inside? Don't try anything with me. Don't hurt my leg!" She shouted continuously.
No matter how loudly Raisa yelled and banged on the door, no one opened the door for her.
Anya looked carefully at Aiden. The man looked very angry, like a bomb ready to explode at any moment.

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.

Interface
Welcome to the World-City of Thousel, the sixth iteration of life on the planet. These are the recordings of the people of Thousel. Thousel is believed to be the second longest iteration of life, and the overall most prosperous compared to what we know about the past five iterations. Medicine and technology have all progressed abundantly, and the world itself has been turned into one great city, governed and managed by the Governmental-Company Alliance, or the GCA.These particular recordings concern the discovery of a peculiar machine. When two very different people find themselves bound by the fate of one mysterious bot, life in the World-City begins to change… Interface is a cyberpunk webnovel set in an ecumenopolis world where people evolved with electro-sensory abilities. These senses shape the face of modern technology and life in a world where the three largest corporations run what has effectively become the government. Each of these three companies control various aspects of life in the city, and they all constantly vie for domain and power over one another.The world stands at the precipice of biological, technological, and historical breakthrough. After decades of study into microbiology, archaeology, and geology, it has been discovered that sentient life has lived on the planet multiple times over. These past peoples are referred to as the “prior iterations of life,” and it is believed that five great civilizations were constructed before the rise of the modern world. No one can be sure for certain what caused these peoples’ extinction long ago, and the theories range from simply dying off over time to massive tectonic fractures in the face of the planet. Advanced technology, far more complicated than anything the people possess today, has been uncovered in multiple locations. This has lead scholars to speculate on exactly how long each iteration of life survived and how far they progressed as a society. None of the companies have been able to find a way to make this ancient technology work for their own profit. It is as though they are each missing the final key needed to unlock these centuries old secrets. What could this knowledge reveal about the nature of life across every iteration? What power could it give to the one who wields it?Far from the investigation into the origin of life, two kids unlock a new mystery – one that ties their fates to the discovery of an old, mysterious robot. Suddenly, eyes begin to turn towards them as life in the city of Thousel changes wherever they go…
