Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO Chapter 298
Advertisement
"Keara, Aiden is also human. Love is not something you can take just by one side. You do want to be with him, but he already has Anya. Whether you like it or not, your relationship ended a long time ago. Only by forgetting the past can you step into the future," Galih tried to advise her daughter.
Indah's beautiful pair of brows were slightly wrinkled as she said with a smile, "Keara, my beautiful daughter, you are so perfect. You are smart, you are beautiful and you can get anything in this world. Even if Aiden isn't your match, you will meet a man who really loves you!"
Keara just laughed at herself when she heard her mother's words. "Mother, I never felt anything when I was with Ivan. I just can't feel anything towards him. If I can't love a man who can make my heart beat faster, I better not get married!"
"Then, when Ivan returns to Indonesia, father will ask for your engagement to be canceled. But before this engagement is canceled, you can't do anything to Aiden!" Galih said in a cold voice.
"Father! I wasn't the one who spread the photos on the internet!" Keara said.
"Father also hopes it's not you. Otherwise, Aiden will never forgive us," Galih rose to his feet angrily and left their living room.
After Keara returned to her room. She thought for a moment and then decided to call Anya. She tried to find out if anything happened to Aiden and Anya after this news spread.
Anya felt a little surprised seeing Keara's call. But in the end, she decided to pick it up.
"Anya, I've seen photos on the internet. Don't get me wrong. I really have nothing to do with Aiden," Keara said.
Keara pretended to be nice in front of Anya, afraid that Anya would misunderstand her. But she purposely did this because she wanted to make Anya doubt her feelings for Aiden even more.
"I didn't misunderstand. Aiden has explained everything to me," Anya replied.
"Aiden explained to you?" Keara couldn't believe that a prideful man like Aiden would bother to explain all of this to Anya. Maybe Anya lied to her…

"Right. Aiden also explained to me what happened in the garden of the Atmajaya Family house last night. I won't misunderstand. Keara, I hope you stay away from my husband, or I will really get angry," Anya's voice grew lower and colder.
Aiden was currently standing in the corridor. He intended to return to the room to change clothes when he heard Anya talking with Keara.
He couldn't contain the joy in his heart. A smile crossed his face when he heard what Anya said!
He really loved his little wife so much!
"I've known Aiden for five years. When I used to hook up with him, you still didn't even know him. Are you going to prevent me from becoming friends with him?" Keara said sarcastically, not heeding Anya's warnings to stay away from her husband.
"You guys did have a relationship, but that's in the past. I will not think about your past and try to accept it. But now Aiden is my husband. And remember, you're engaged too. Please don't embarrass yourself. This scandal that spreads around the internet is actually very easy to solve. If I distribute photos of my marriage book with Aiden, how are you going to explain everything? Would you like to be called a homewrecker? A cheap woman who seduces her own would-be brother-in-law?" Anya said, smiling sarcastically. She said all of that in a cold voice, without feeling at all. She didn't care that Keara wanted to hurt or be hostile towards her. She just wanted this woman to stay away from her husband.
Even though she was a spoiled and gentle little wife in front of Aiden, she could also become a fierce lioness to protect all of her possessions.
Anya would not show her weak side. Not in front of the Tedjasukmana Family nor Keara.
"Hah! I didn't expect you to be like this. No wonder Aiden likes you. It seems I've underestimated you. Just wait until I take Aiden back from you," Keara replied in the same sarcastic tone. She no longer pretended to be polite in front of Anya.
"Aiden is mine. No one can take him away. You can never take what is not yours!" Anya hung up on her, not wanting to continue this conversation with Keara.

She knew enough and heard enough about her…
After putting down her cell phone, Anya realized that Aiden was standing in the doorway.
How long had Aiden been standing there?
"What... Did you hear it?" Unlike Anya who was fierce before, now Anya was back as a little rabbit in front of Aiden.
"You look so obedient in front of me. It turns out you can be fierce too!" Aiden teased her.
Anya's face immediately turned red. "That woman wants to take my husband. Why should I speak politely to her?"
"So, what are you going to do about scandals on the internet?" Aiden asked on purpose.
"Upscale restaurants definitely have CCTV. If no one takes a photo of us, we can ask for CCTV footage from the restaurant to prove that we ate dinner three. We'll definitely show that Keara went home first and we had dinner together. There is no such thing as old love springing back," Anya sneered.
"Why are you still feeling sorry for her?" Aiden asked.
As Anya said, this problem could be solved easily, which was by showing their marriage book. With that, everyone would immediately think of Keara as the villain in their relationship.
"If I don't pity her, she will also defame the Atmajaya family as Ivan's fiancée. Your family's reputation will also be tarnished," Anya said.
"So, you did everything for my family?" Aiden laughed as he looked at Anya.
"Not for your family, but for you. Because Atmajaya is in your name," Anya replied, looking at Aiden gently.
Anya's answer made Aiden's heart melt a little. "Hmm... It's up to you," he said, stroking Anya's head. After that, Aiden took out his cell phone and called someone.
Anya waited patiently for Aiden to finish calling before asking him, "Do you really want to acquire the Pratama Family's business?"
"Do you think Nadine's disappearance really has nothing to do with Keara?" Aiden asked in a low voice.
"So, you mean, Keara knew exactly where Nadine is, but she hides it on purpose?"
"If Nadine is dead, Keara will definitely tell us. But if she hides it, then Nadine is still alive, but she can't come back. Nobody knows if anyone had tried to stop her, or if Nadine was hurt. It's possible that she lost her memory and doesn't remember her house," Aiden said.
How could Aiden get all these hints from just Bima's birthday party?
If Nadine really was still alive as Aiden thought, where was she now? Why didn't Keara tell the Atmajaya family about Nadine's whereabouts?
Anya thought for a moment and then said, "Keara refused to tell where Nadine is maybe not because she didn't want to say it, but she didn't dare. Is it possible that she did something bad to Nadine?"
"On the verge of life and death, everyone will be selfish. I know Nadine is a good girl. Keara might have done something that hurt Nadine when escaping, so she didn't dare tell her where Nadine is. Right now, all the hints that she gave were completely useless. We won't be able to find Nadine," Aiden's lips lifted into a sinister smile. "Does she really think that I can't do anything to her?"
"The foundation of the Pratama Family's company is very strong. They have been around for a long time and are not easy to take over. If your father tries to stop you, you will suffer a big loss," Anya didn't want Aiden to suffer losses and mess up their relationship with the Pratama Family.
"I'm doing this not just to pressure Keara, but also for the future development of the Atmajaya Group!" Aiden did it all after careful planning. There was no way he could do something this big carelessly, without thinking about it carefully first.
Anya understood her husband. Aiden had planned this and was confident that he could get the Pratama Family's company.
But Anya also felt worried if something unexpected happened. What if Aiden's plan failed?
"If you fail, what will happen to you?" Anya asked with worry.
One of Aiden's eyebrows rose. "There is no threat of failure. If there is, it seems like it will come from you…"

The Kodoku Game
In Japanese folklore, there once existed an ancient technique among alchemists for harvesting the strongest poison known to man. A poison so vicious, so horrendous, that a single drop could incapacitate an entire nation of humans, several times over. A poison so intense that a single drop could turn the tides of a war on its head. As potent as it appeared however, this poison could be harvested from the blood of a single insect alone- an insect the alchemist’s called the ‘Kodoku’. As lucrative as was attaining this poison however, the problem lied in identifying this insect- its appearance, shape and size changed from region to region and from continent to continent. Sometimes it took the appearance of a ladybug and other times a horned-beetle. In order to determine the identity of this special insect the alchemists came up with an ingenious method. They created an impregnable jar of clay out of the best sandstone they could find and placed hundreds of different insects into the same jar. The jar was made with such great mastery that it allowed no insects to escape and allowed no objects to enter. The laws of nature dictated that the insects would remain together in the jar forever. However, it turned out that as time went on, the insects’ hunger for food and power caused them to turn against each other- one insect ate another until only one remained. This sole insect contained a poison that far surpassed that of all the others and became stronger as it ate more and more insects. The alchemists at this point had succeeded in identifying the Kodoku and could extract it’s poison as long as they continued to feed it regularly. Although this folklore ends here, the actual story does not. One day, as the alchemists cheered in joy of having identified the Kodoku they so eagerly wanted, they forgot to close the lid on the very jar that was considered to be completely impregnable. This small gap was just large enough for the Kodoku inside to crawl out. Famished from not having been fed for weeks, the Kodoku ended up eating the very alchemists that nourished its growth until not even the bones remained. Yet, the Kodoku’s hunger didn’t seem to subside in the slightest. So it traveled to the next village and began eating whatever it could find there. Its poison made it unparalleled in strength and slowly but surely it began to dwindle down the population of the entire city. Yet its hunger only continued to grow. So it traveled to the next city over and ate all it could there. Very soon, the Kodoku couldn’t find any more food to eat. There was no one left to eat and no one left to spectate. So it stood there, by itself pondering what possibly was left to eat that could satiate its hunger. But there was one thing left that Kodoku realized it had never eaten. Itself.
