Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO Chapter 307
Advertisement
Galih was still immersed in his past memories with Diana, when suddenly his assistant knocked on the door and entered. "Sir, Miss Keara wants a perfume room."
"Just give it. As long as she stays at home, give her whatever she wants," Galih said.
"This afternoon, your wife invited Miss Lisa to have tea with Mrs. Maria from the Atmajaya Family. Miss Keara also wants to come," the assistant added.
Galih's face looked a little cooler. "No, Lisa will go to the matchmaking, why would Keara come along?"
The assistant was a little surprised to hear that. "Who will be arranged with Miss Lisa? Mr Nico?"
Galih nodded and then continued with a serious look, "I want you to investigate something for me. I want to know Anya Tedjasukmana's background, from before she was born,"
"Sir, do you think that Miss Anya..."
Galih's eyes were sharp as he turned to look at his assistant. That gaze terrified his assistant so much that he didn't dare to continue with his words.
"I will immediately investigate it," the assistant replied. "Actually, there's an easier way to find out. As long as you can get Miss Anya's blood sample and do a DNA test, everything can be found out right away."
"Lately, my wife sent many people to find her daughter's whereabouts. It could be that Anya's presence made her nervous," Galih admonished his assistant.
If he did a DNA test, a lot of people would be involved. Once the news leaked even a little, it would be a big problem for him.
As long as he could determine the exact timing of Diana's pregnancy and Anya's birth, he could know whether Anya was really his daughter.
Actually, Anya also thought the same thing. After all, her face resembled Keara's too much. Plus, Galih had a past relationship with her mother.
But Anya didn't really care about it. She preferred to live her life with Aiden and not think too much about things.
Even though her childhood memories were very vague, she still remembered that her father and mother had loved each other in the past.

They separated because her father wanted a son, while her mother was too busy working and was immersed in her career.
Anya still couldn't know for sure what was the real reason for the divorce of her parents. But it was said that her mother was the one who asked for a divorce first.
But she was sure that she was the daughter of her father, Deny Tedjasukmana. Because after her parents divorced, Diana had left Anya at her father's house.
Since she was the daughter of the Tedjasukmana Family, her mother thought that leaving Anya with her father would be a better option…
Galih became suspicious when he saw the similarities between Anya and Keara. Meanwhile, Aiden had long suspected him and had sent his men to investigate.
The results of his investigation showed that Anya was really Deny's daughter. It's just a coincidence that her face looked like Keara.
"Anya, do you ever think that perhaps you're Galih's daughter?" Aiden gently hugged Anya's waist from behind.
Anya shook her head and turned to look at Aiden. "Didn't you already investigate and the result said I wasn't'? I believe in you,"
"I did investigate the relationship between your mother and Galih. Harris suggested that you give a strand of your hair to do a DNA test with Galih," Aiden said.
Anya bit her lower lip, confused.
Had Aiden done the DNA test? How was the result?
Even though she believed in her mother, what if...
"I believe in my mother!" Anya said firmly.
Aiden smiled at Anya's words. "Hmm... Your mother deserves to be trusted,"
Anya breathed a sigh of relief. It looked like Aiden's investigation showed that she was indeed Deny's daughter. Somehow, her feelings were a little mixed, between happy and sad.
She was happy that she wasn't related to the Pratama Family. That meant, her mother was a loyal figure. She would never betray her family.
But she also felt sad because she was Deny's daughter. And yet that man's favorite daughter wasn't her but Natali.

"Did you really do that DNA test?" Anya asked.
"No. I won't do it without your permission. I'm just telling Harris to investigate your mother's past again. Do you want to hear a story about your mother and Galih?" Aiden asked softly.
"You've already told me," Anya leaned her body in Aiden's arms.
Aiden looked down slightly and carried Anya before going into his bedroom.
"Hmm… I will tell it from the time Galih was forced to get married. He separated from your mother and married Lina Srijaya, the eldest daughter of the Srijaya Family. She left because of dystocia when she gave birth to Keara," Aiden said.
Anya nodded her head. "I heard that Keara's mother is currently her stepmother. But it looks like the relationship between Auntie Indah and Keara is very good,"
"Right. Galih's current wife is Indah Srijaya, the younger sister of Lina Srijaya. She raised Keara from childhood. So, of course their relationship is very close," Aiden put Anya down on the bed.
"He couldn't be with my mother so Uncle Galih chose to marry a good woman for his daughter. There's nothing wrong with choosing auntie Indah," Anya really understood Galih's choice at that time.
"At that time, your mother was very famous. After she married and became part of the Tedjasukmana Family, your father and all his family loved your mother very much. Plus, your mom will never do anything bad. You have nothing to do with Keara," Aiden said.
"I remember, my mom and dad loved each other. But in the end, they had to separate. Meanwhile, Uncle Galih and Aunt Indah only have Keara and have no other children. They must really love Keara," there was a hint of jealousy in Anya's tone.
Keara was really lucky. She had one thing that Anya could never get in this world— a father's love.
"They had another daughter, and she disappeared," Aiden said in a low voice.
"Disappeared? Sister Maria's daughter also disappeared. Why do so many people lose their daughters?" Anya asked curiously.
"In the past, there was a big case that caused a turmoil in this city. A scientific organization that wants to carry out research on humans decided to kidnap female babies to be used as research material. All the babies who were kidnapped have been killed. At that time, Sister Maria lost her daughter so she rushed to find Nadine. Though Nadine is not her real daughter, she knows that her own daughter will never return. She doesn't want the same thing to happen to Nadine," Aiden's voice grew deeper and deeper.
Anya knew that the Atmajaya Family would never stop looking for Nadine. Maria had felt the loss of her daughter so she loved Nadine with all her heart.
Though Nadine was a child of her husband's affair, she still accepted her wholeheartedly.
She treated Nadine like her own daughter, seeing her as if her daughter was still alive. It's all because she loved her husband so much.
"Poor her. If Nadine is still alive, we have to find her immediately," Anya's voice sounded a little choked. She couldn't imagine living as Maria.
Maria's life was full of twists and turns but she was still a great woman. Her kindness never faded even though the world continued to try her.
"It's not easy to accept a child from her husband's affair, but Maria really loves Nadine. Three years ago, Sister Maria lost her daughter again. This incident traumatized her so much that she could no longer work."
Aiden said softly, "Sis Maria is a very kind person and she shouldn't feel all of this pain. Keara didn't want to tell Nadine's whereabouts and instead hid her on purpose. That's really cruel."
"Maybe Keara really doesn't know, or something happened," Anya couldn't think of anything else.
Why did Keara keep her mouth shut on this matter?

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.
