Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO Chapter 319
Advertisement
"Let's just say I'm taking you to the cinema to see everyone's acting skills," Aiden's voice wasn't too loud, but everyone in the room could hear him.
Anya really wanted to dig a hole and hide herself in it. Why did she have to lure Aiden to make her husband say that?
Why was her mouth so leaky?
She should have known that Aiden's mouth was very sharp and he would say whatever he wanted without thinking about other people's feelings.
Bima glared at Aiden angrily. "We are all hypocrites. We are all acting. Only you are the most genuine...." he said sarcastically.
"I have a father, but I don't think I have him. If you don't have a good personality, don't pretend to be one. If you don't like me, why are you calling me to this house?" Aiden thought that they were just going to a family dinner. But once inside, he felt like he was seeing a show pretending to be a harmonious family.
Bima even announced that he wanted to marry Imel. He would not have come to this house if he knew this was Bima's plan.
"Don't be angry, Bima. Aiden has always been honest. Why are you always annoyed with him?" Tirta said.
"We will see. It felt like I owed him millions. Is he my son or a debt collector?" Bima said it while panting.
"Is that how cheap the relationship between father and son is? No wonder the kidnapper asked for billions in ransom. You better let those people hurt me than save me. It turns out that our relationship is only worth millions," Aiden got up and kicked the coffee table in front of him.
A loud thud could be heard from the living room. Maria was very surprised and immediately approached the source of the sound.
Keara knew Aiden had a bad temper, but she didn't expect Aiden to kick the table in front of everyone.
Tirta was also surprised. But after all, these were all matters of the Atmajaya Family. He didn't have the capacity to interfere.
Anya felt her head buzzing. How did all of this happen? She was speechless.

She could only see the table in front of her rolled over, one leg was broken. The fruit on the table rolled on the floor.
When she saw this incident, Maria immediately gasped.
"Aiden, apologize to your father," Maria immediately walked over to Aiden and tapped him on the shoulder, trying to calm him down.
"Aiden, you are too much! How can you kick the table in front of dad?" Ivan said.
"Ivan, do you dare once again say I'm too much?" Aiden asked as he turned his gaze towards Ivan.
Anya saw the tension escalated and immediately pulled Aiden's hand, "Aiden calm down,"
But Aiden still didn't listen to her. It felt like all the grief that was buried in his heart was spilling out today. "If you were kidnapped at that time, he would spend whatever money he had to save you. Not only one billion, he would pay even ten billion. But since it were me, he'd better let me die,"
"Aiden, father was also having a hard time at that time. He didn't have that much amount of cash to save you. If the kidnappers didn't get the money, he thought they wouldn't dare hurt you either," Ivan tried to explain.
"Ivan, shut up! You never know how it feels to be dumped. You never feel like being left out. How could you possibly interfere in this matter so easily," Aiden said, looking coldly at Ivan. "You don't know how painful it is to be paralyzed. You don't know how it feels like when the nerves in your body die. You don't know how I felt when the doctor said I wouldn't be able to get up and walk again. Can you understand?" Aiden said it all at once, his face looking so cold and emotionless as if he was fed up with this family.
"I lost my eyes, ears and also my smell in the explosion. Do you know the pain? You only have back pain, but he has invited Doctor Tirta to come to your house and check on you. You get all the affection from him. What right do you have to call me too much?" Aiden roared angrily.

Anya's eyes turned red, she could feel the pain that her husband felt. She hugged Aiden tightly, hoping that her hug could ease the burden in Aiden's heart a little.
Hearing this, Maria also secretly wiped her tears.
"Aiden…" Keara was surprised at Aiden's attitude. She didn't expect that Aiden was suffering from such excruciating pain.
"Believe it or not, I never intended to give up your life just like that. It's not that I was reluctant to give the money away, I just misjudged the consequences. My heart hurts to see you hurt like that," Bima said sadly.
"Then, don't do something that will hurt me more. If you insist on marrying that woman, I will bury you together with that woman and her son," After saying this, Aiden took Anya's hand and left the room.
"You insolent child! What did you say? Do you intend to kill us all?" Bima rose to his feet angrily.
"Don't believe my words? We will see!" Aiden's eyes seemed to say he wasn't kidding. There was intense hatred and murder in it.
"Aiden, Aiden..." Maria immediately chased Aiden to the front door.
"Sister Maria, Ivan came home with the excuse to recover himself and Imel wanted to marry my father. You also understand what plans they are making, don't you? Warn Nico to be careful. I don't want to eat together with that woman and her son. I'll go home first," Aiden said a little calmer.
He didn't like his father and Ivan, but he still respected Maria and Nico.
"I know. I will try to persuade your father. Don't worry. Ivan is different from his mother. He will also stay for a few days at home. I'll try to talk to him," Maria said calmly.
"Sis Maria, come in. I will accompany Aiden. Don't worry," Anya said.
During their trip back to their house, Aiden said nothing. Anya held Aiden's hand gently.
The guard escorting them asked carefully, "Sir, where are we going?"
"Go home," Aiden replied curtly.
Anya immediately sent a message to Hana, telling them that they were going home for dinner.
Just as she was sending a message, her cell phone rang. Raka called her again.
Aiden was angry. How could she dare to pick up Raka's phone in front of him. Anya immediately hung up without thinking about it.
But Raka didn't give up and kept calling her again.
"Just answer the phone," Aiden said impatiently.
"Raka is calling," Anya looked at him cautiously.
"Put it on loudspeaker," Aiden wanted to hear how Raka explained what happened ten years ago. The Mahendra family saved Anya, but also gave Anya back to her father…
Anya couldn't refuse Aiden. The man was very angry, but Raka's call looked like a ticking bomb.
It looked like Raisa was really unlucky. There's no point in begging…
Anya pressed the answer button. "Raka, I'm in the car right now. What can I do for you?"
Raka was stunned for a moment. Anya never took the initiative to tell him where she was. But Anya suddenly told him at this time. That meant she was with Aiden in the car and Aiden could also hear their conversation…
"I heard Brother Ivan is back. Have you met him?" Raka asked.
"Yes. He came back to recover. If you want to meet him, just call. I just came home from the Atmajaya family," Anya said.
Raka immediately understood. If Anya came home from the Atmajaya family at this hour, it meant they didn't have time to eat dinner.
Once he met Ivan, Aiden must have fought with him and must be in a bad mood right now.
"I called you to apologize. My father said that Auntie Mona had intended to commit suicide because of a miscarriage at that time. Your father insisted on taking you home. If my father didn't return you, he threatened to destroy the reputation of the Mahendra Family. My father had no other choice. Anya, I'm sorry. I really don't know," Raka said with regrets.

The Curio Shoppe
Kellan Klein is an ordinary college student with an average, if traumatic and painful past. Everyone grows up grappling with depression and anxiety that seem to be genetic in a house with parents that, while loving, fight all the time and have weird ideas about what kids should and shouldn't do, right? Everyone deals with bullying, racism, judgement on their romantic inclinations and their family's economic status and just general shittiness, right? All of Kellan's friends sure did, and for all of them, entertaiment media were a welcome escape from their painful, dreary lives. After all, who wouldn't want to sail the seas with Monkey D. Luffy and the Strawhats, or help Meng Hao con increasingly powerful and influential people, or join Cecil Harvey and his friends on their weird journey to save the world, or make friends with Peter Parker while pretending to not know he was everyone's favorite wall-crawling superhero? Kellan certainly wanted to, and while he pursued college to seek out a career he saw himself enjoying, something felt inexplicably empty about his life. So when a decidely sinister force kidnaps him and the prettiest man he's ever seen saves his life and offers him his wildest dreams, Kellan becomes the shopkeeper of a mysterious, dimension hopping shop, complete with a system that helps him acquire items. abilities, materials, and other cool shit to stock it with, as well as some other neat perks. Will Kellan become a boring overpowered MC, like the kind from web fiction that he reads to sate his boredom? Will he keep his generally kind, sweet nature despite the shit he's gone through and will go through, or will he inexplicably become a scary, violent, irrational arrogant douchebag? Will he use his newfound abilities to explore the multiverse and improve the lives of himself and others, or will he become his own antithesis, a purely mercantile jerk obsessed with money and profit, with no concern for anything that doesn't help or hurt his business? Find out in The Curio Shoppe! Author's note: Please suggest possible setting he could visit in the comments. I'll gather ones i'm familiar with, and at the end of every arc, a poll will be held to decide the next location he visits. There will be polls for other purposes, and I might not always go with the poll winner if I feel one of the other options is more fun to read/write about. I will not use the settings of other RRL writers without their permission.Do not ask for that, unless the author in question gives permission. Most settings he visits will be slightly AU in some way or another, but please remind me if I drift too far from canon unintentionally or characterize a character wrongly. This work will eventually fit all tags I selected once he visits universes suited to those tags, so don't ask when or where a given tag is coming. I do not own the cover art, it belongs to Nicholas Belanger Thiel, and I will stop using it if he asks me to. Kellan doesn't look like the old man on the cover, though once he acquires a disguise-type ability he may occasionally use that appearance. The tapir, however, will be a thing, as despite looking like a failed attempt at an elephant, tapirs are cool and this dragon finds them to be kinda cute. The art, along with more of Nicholas's pieces, can be found at https://www.artstation.com/artwork/51bXz
