Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO Chapter 700

"So, apart from my nature, you hate me because of Raka, right?" Anya asked with a faint smile. Finally, she knew why Yura hated her.
"Natali liked Raka, but Raka only had his eyes on you. What did you do to him? You are so arrogant, no one can be friends with you. You don't deserve Raka!" Yura openly said.
Anya got up and was about to leave. She had got the answer from Yura, an answer that made complete nonsense in her brain.
There was no point in dragging this problem any longer.
No matter what she did, Yura would hate her forever.
When she arrived at the door and was about to leave, Anya stopped for a moment and looked at Yura. Then, she said in a cold voice, "Just because you are Natali's friend, you did all these cruel things to me. Now, just bear all the consequences of your actions. If you had been this loyal to Natali, I knew I wouldn't be able to get an answer out of your mouth. But it's okay, I already know you're trying to protect Jessica," Anya said with a smile.
Yura's eyes widened, making Anya sure of her guess.
It was Jessica!
Unfortunately, there was no real evidence of this allegation.
In order to get revenge on Anya, it was impossible for Yura to do everything alone.
Initially, Yura was willing to bear everything alone in order to save Natali and let her roam free to continue to mess with Anya's life.
It was okay for her to stay in prison as long as Anya couldn't live in peace.
This time, even though Anya was suspicious of Jessica, she couldn't do anything. If Yura didn't open her mouth, Jessica would still be safe.
Anya suspected Jessica, but had Aiden thought of this possibility?
Still, Yura said that all of her actions were her own plan. Anya couldn't do anything to Jessica with this.
She felt uncomfortable and couldn't go through her days in peace.

After Yura's arrest, all the troubles came at her and made her stuck like in a traffic jam, stalled in the middle of the road.
She felt disappointed that Aiden did nothing.
Even though the power failure that occurred in the hospital could have endangered their two sons, he still showed no sign to return the favor. Not to mention the fire that could injure innocent babies in the hospital. Apart from that, Jessica also used her photo with Raka to humiliate her in front of everyone, at an event she held by herself.
How could Anya not be angry?
But why did Aiden keep silent until now?
During her trip back, Anya did not say a word. She just leaned on the edge of the window and looked outside, seemingly immersed in her own thoughts.
Harris only saw her from the rearview mirror and didn't dare to ask anything.
…
The Atmajaya Group was getting busier these days. Aiden couldn't get away from his job, but his mind was also unsettled when he thought about his wife. He only hoped that Anya's condition would not get worse.
Tara began to often bring her psychiatrist friend to the house. She said that her friend's house was being renovated so she had to stay at her house for a while.
Not only that, Tara also brought her friend to join breakfast and dinner at Anya's house.
Anya didn't mind if there was one extra person while they ate, but the longer she got, she felt more and more annoyed.
"Harris, what does Tara's friend do?" Anya suddenly asked.
"All of Miss Tara's friends are medical students. They should be doctors too. Should I ask her?" Harris asked.
"No need. I thought you knew."
"Madame, if you don't like eating with strangers, I can help convey it to Miss Tara," Harris said carefully.
"No need. I just felt her friend was always trying to ask me personal questions and make me uncomfortable. Am I just too sensitive?" Anya said with a bitter smile.

Harris was worried. He knew that Tara's friend often asked personal questions because of their profession as a psychiatrist. That person did not come to eat, but to monitor Anya's condition.
Aiden even had to pay quite a fortune so that the psychiatrist came to his house and examined Anya in person.
"Maybe, Miss Tara's friend loves perfume and likes the perfume you made, Madame," said Harris.
Anya thought for a moment and then nodded. "Maybe. Please help me send a bottle of perfume for her,"
…
Around two in the afternoon, Anya just woke up from her nap.
She was afraid to leave the house, but just being at home also made her bored. She did not know what to do.
Luckily, Diana was still in the house. Although she still had to use crutches while walking, Diana looked more active. She spent her time walking around the house or learning to cook from Hana.
Today, she was making roasted sweet potatoes for her daughter.
As soon as she went downstairs, Anya could smell roasted sweet potato. "How delicious!" She exclaimed.
"You woke up already? I took some sweet potatoes from the garden and baked them. How about sending it to your mom and dad?" Diana said with a smile.
These past few days, Anya had been looking a little sluggish.
She often sat pensive, not knowing what made her mind confused.
The psychiatrist told Diana that Anya's depression had flared up so that she was not interested in anything and that her enthusiasm for doing things she loved waned.
In the past, Anya would lock herself in the perfume room and keep herself busy with the job she loved the most. But now she rarely set foot into that room.
When she walked into the perfume room, she just sat at her desk doing nothing as if she didn't know where to start.
She had no passion for doing anything, no interest or whatsoever. She spent most of her day sleeping, whether on the sofa, in bed, or wherever.
Apart from that, her appetite was decreasing and she no longer liked food as before. Even though the food in front of her was her favorite, Anya couldn't eat it as heartily as before.
During the day, Anya only ate a few spoonfuls of rice before taking a nap.
Seeing that her daughter could only eat a little, Diana took the initiative to make roasted sweet potatoes, Anya's favorite food.
Seeing the golden roasted sweet potato, Anya looked a little happier. She took a photo of the delicious looking roasted sweet potato and sent it to her friends.
Tara was the first to reply.
Tara: "Please save some for me!"
Nadine: "Auntie, I want too! Don't spend it alone."
Nico: "Uncle, please let me go home early. I want to wrap the roasted sweet potato and bring it home for my fiancée!"
Aiden immediately replied to Nico's message.
Aiden: "You have to work overtime until 10pm today. If you come home early even just by one minute, I'll take all your leave."
Nico immediately sent a sad sticker.
Nico: "Tara, I did my best to get those roasted potatoes. But there is an evil demon who protects his wife and doesn't allow us to get free food!"
Della: "I'm free today. Can I get a share?"
Raka: "Della, have you cleaned the house? What about the living room? Have you cleaned it?"
Anya smiled seeing all the conversation. She took her spoon and put the roasted sweet potato in her mouth. However, it was tasteless somehow.
Still, seeing her greedy friends, Anya finally decided to tease them.
Anya: "These roasted sweet potatoes are so sweet. Luckily, only I can eat it."
Less than a minute later, Della immediately answered.
Della: "I'm on my way there. Baked sweet potato, wait for me!"

An Average American in A High-school Academy Anime
An American versed in narrative tropes and more than mildly acquainted with anime wakes up in a completely different bed than the one he went to bed in. Now he has to scramble to understand where he is, what's going on, and hope to God he isn't in a relationship drama. I don't expect this to be good or well-received, but I have plenty of time this quarantine, so I'll try to get a chapter of 4000-10000 words out every one or two weeks. (haha) Please let me know how it can be improved. I'm an avid reader of fiction, but I've never really fallen down a rabbit hole so hard that I can name all tropes and settings and such by heart. I'm not sure if this will be effective satire, so I preemptively apologize. Inspired by: "My Life is Not a Manga, or maybe..." by EO Tenkey and "The Simulacrum" by Eganthale. Check them out if you want probably better stories than this one.
