Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO Chapter 545

"Try to remember carefully. If you can give us information, all of this will be yours," Aiden said calmly as he looked at the man in front of him.
The man looked at the stack of money in front of him doubtfully, but there was also a greedy look on his face.
Seeing the money piling up on the table, Anya finally realized why Aiden wanted to come to this place at night. It turned out that Aiden wanted to use the money to bribe the orphanage's guard.
Of course, this kind of thing couldn't be done overtly.
"That woman came from the city. I heard her mention the name Srijaya Family, I don't know if it was her family name or her husband's surname. That's all I know," the man immediately took the money on the table.
Aiden and Anya exchanged glances.
That woman was from the city and had Srijaya as her family's name!
Anya immediately took out her cellphone and looked for a photo of Lisa's mother, Fany Srijaya, from the internet and then showed it to the person, "Is this woman what you mean?"
"Right, that woman. She still looks young even though 20 years have passed," the man said in surprise.
"What did she say when she was looking for her daughter at that time? Were there any traits she mentioned about her daughter?" Aiden asked.
"Her daughter has a birthmark on her back, but she did not say what shape it was. She had seen all the children here, but she did not find her daughter," the man began to tuck the money into a crack on the table, afraid that someone would see them.
Anya felt a little disappointed to hear the news from that person. That would mean, she didn't come from this orphanage. She had lost the clues to find her real parents.

After returning from the orphanage, Anya looked gloomy. She had cost Aiden a lot of money, but they had to go home empty-handed, without a clue.
Now, they had to start all over again.
"Just cut the money from my salary," Anya said in a low voice.
"That's my money. It has nothing to do with you," Aiden stroked Anya's head gently. "Don't be disappointed. At least we now know that the Srijaya Family helped the Pratama Family to find their daughter,"
"Did my parents give up looking for me..." Anya muttered.
"Sister Maria has been trying to find her daughter for more than 20 years and never gives up. Your parents must be the same. As long as we don't give up hope, we can definitely find them," Aiden said, comforting her.
His words made Anya a little better. At least, she had greater hope of finding her biological parents with Aiden.
"Let's eat," the man took Anya's hand as he walked toward the parking lot.
Anya did not refuse to hold Aiden's hand like before. After all, there was no point fighting him, she wouldn't be able to match Aiden's strength.
After getting into the car, Aiden asked, "What would you like to eat?"
"I want to eat Padang rice," Anya said.
Aiden frowned when he heard Anya's choice, "Padang food is too oily and not good for your health. You better choose nutritious foods."
"I've taken vitamins and herbs every day. My mouth tastes so bitter and I don't want to eat anything. I saw a Padang restaurant earlier during the trip…" Anya secretly swallowed her saliva because of her hungry stomach.
"There's a steamboat restaurant nearby. It's better to eat soup to warm your stomach," Aiden immediately decided and turned on his GPS.
Anya turned and looked at the man beside her irritably. Earlier, Aiden asked her what she wanted to eat, but after she made her choice, Aiden didn't listen to her. What's the point in asking then? He shouldn't have asked her!

She really wanted to eat Padang rice!
On the way, their car was stuck in traffic right in front of the Padang restaurant that Anya saw earlier.
Ten minutes later, they were still trapped and unable to move. For some reason, the road that day was very jammed.
Twenty minutes later, Anya felt like she was going completely crazy. She could only stare at the restaurant for twenty minutes without being able to eat. She was really starving!
"You go eat the steamboat yourself. I want to eat Padang rice!" Without waiting for Aiden's reaction, Anya immediately opened the car's door and ran to the Padang restaurant.
Aiden saw Anya running around happily and couldn't help laughing. Anya was still the same as her old self, childish and cheerful like a child.
If Anya really wanted it, there was nothing wrong with Aiden obliging her every now and then!
Aiden immediately headed to the parking lot in front of the restaurant and entered to find Anya.
Once inside, he saw Anya selecting food from the plates that had been served in front of her. As soon as she raised her head, Anya looked at Aiden in surprise, "Why are you here?"
"It's not good to eat alone. I will keep you company!" Aiden smiled faintly.
Anya smiled at him. That smile was sincere from within her heart.
She was so great that she could get the CEO of a large company like Aiden to eat at a roadside restaurant.
Anya ate very greedily, while Aiden spent more of his time looking at her.
No matter what Anya did, even when she was eating so much like this, Anya still looked very beautiful to his eyes.
"You know what? During my two years in France, I really wanted to eat Padang rice," Anya said, raising her glass.
The more she drank it, Aiden realized that Anya's face was getting redder. He took the glass and smelled the aroma. The drink contained alcohol!
Plus, Anya had already finished two glasses.
"Don't drink anymore, the drink has alcohol. You're already drunk. Just drink this water," he said as he kept the glass away from Anya.
"I am full. Let's go home."
Aiden immediately paid for their meal and walked out. When she got up from her chair, Anya looked a little shaken.
Aiden immediately grabbed her and helped her walk to the car, but Anya pushed his body away from her. "I'm not drunk."
"Yes, yes," Aiden replied patiently.
Anya walked along with Aiden to the car and leaned back in her seat. She wanted to go back to the hotel and relax.
But a few moments later, Anya realized and felt a little panic. How was she going to spend the night with Aiden?
Anya tried to calm herself down and said, "Once back at the hotel, I will book one more room. It's true you said, I'm a little drunk and I don't want to disturb your sleep."
"I won't be bothered," Aiden replied calmly.
"Aiden, we are divorced. We can't sleep in the same room!" Anya said seriously.
Aiden glanced at her arrogantly and said in a cold voice, "I'm not interested in drunken women. Or maybe you will tease me and blame the alcohol later?"
"Me? Teasing you?" Anya was annoyed when she heard this and shouted at him at once. "If you're afraid, I'll book another room myself!"

Birth of an AntiHero
AntiHero's FIRST REWRITE IN THE WORKS - thanks!! :] EDIT 2/28/22 - sorry, health problems right now, but I will post after rewriting the first 80-90,000 words or so and start fresh from there! Expect the change to be uploaded before summer! So long as I can keep using my hands, that is~! ^_^ X] This story will indeed get fleshed out as my vision improves for the better. But I feel the need to emphasize that a lot of parts are written in improvised comic book format as my primary writing style, and this first book is actually the entry point and starting novel for an entire very vast series I am in the works of developing. Many side characters here will eventually be main characters with there own stories; long or short. But this one particularly will be focused and centralized around Noel. Because of this, I do plan to leave the introduction for side characters as still having a special flow for readers to witness a tad of their background, so keep that in mind after my 'obviously many' rewrites from now and going into the future! Sorry for the troubles! I will improve on my style and implementation of the story!(Although I DO plan to keep parts as 'play style' or rather, comic book style, since I find it easier for certain dialogue instances as well as the fact that the novel is inspired by that 'feeling' you get while reading comic books. But my style is still evolving, you were warned!) Thank you! - Noel Tyler Malierano. He's the youngest 'son' to receive approval from 'The Malierano Family': A Criminal Organization of hitmen and hitwomen that specialize in killing, even maintaining success within a vastly superpowered society. Noel finally manages to complete his training as the newest 'Elite' killer his family created...but, there's just one problem - He doesn't want to kill! Come along and delve into a society of conflicting morals through the eyes of a boy, desperately searching for a new path to follow. Can he even manage to free himself from his father's engrained teachings and ideals? Conversely, will killing prove a lot more difficult to ignore? --- --> Thank you very much for reading! It would be helpful for me if you all consider leaving me a comment or an inbox suggestion, a review or even a full rating wherever AND whenever you believe I need to improve on anything or if something I wrote irked you! I appreciate EVERYONE that comes to read my story, however I DO want to improve my work as a writer. I hope all of you who don't like my work will let me know somehow, so I can edit and IMPROVE my story as a whole! Thank you everyone for your time! --- JUST TO NOTE!! When a character has a cultural name like, say, a Japanese or Russian name, that is because that character IS Japanese or Russian! They don't have to be FULL of one ethnicity either - sometimes they will be mixed. This story mainly takes place on an artificial continent where all countries have sent over their respective talents, meaning characters of ALL cultures and ethnic backgrounds will show hints of that in their names. Please don't assume I'm just randomly naming characters names that don't match them. And feel free to talk to me about whatever in my story troubles you - no matter how small! I love to improve. ^-^ X] --- Just to note: Characters will slowly grow as time passes. Slow pace. THANKS for reading! Enjoy! :] --- Decided to post 2 chapters every Tuesday and Friday instead of taking a small break, but I MAY upload once in a while on different days, such as Sundays, in addition to those two. :]
