Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO Chapter 901
Advertisement
"Maybe I don't like you that much. Those three questions I gave you, if you asked me, I… I wouldn't choose you," Sabrina lowered her head in shame.
"You stupid. I'm not forcing you to choose between me or your mother. If one day you marry me, your mother will not lose her daughter. She will only have one extra son."
"I'm not going to tell you to choose between your career or mine. You are very talented in designing. I hope you can get better and better, design beautiful jewelry and do the work you love."
"As for the two of us, if only one of us is allowed to live, I hope that you are the one who survives. So, of the three questions, not voting for me was the answer I wanted to hear the most. Sabrina, I'm very satisfied with that answer," Arka lifted her hand and brought it to his lips, kissing the back of her hand gently.
Sabrina's eyes reddened hearing that and her tears involuntarily flowed. She lifted her head and took a deep breath. "Brother, why are you being so nice to me?"
"Because you deserve a good man," Arka stopped the car. On the side of the road, he gently wiped away Sabrina's tears. "I hope we can spend this one week happily. I wish I could teach you how to love someone."
"Aren't you afraid of it? What if you teach me but I end up loving someone else instead?" Sabrina sobbed.
"If that person also loves you, as much as I love you, I will support you," Arka said calmly.
At that moment, Sabrina's cell phone suddenly rang. When she took it out of her bag, Sabrina saw that it was Della who called her.
"Mom, I'm still outside. What is it?" Sabrina asked.
"Something happened. I can't take care of it directly because I'm at work. You insisted on using Anna as the company's model. But now there is a scandal involving her. Her ex-boyfriend announced that he had a video of them living together. Once this video goes viral, Anna's career will be ruined and the company's image will also be affected. Quickly take care of this matter," Della said over the phone. Her voice sounded frantic as she explained in a hurry.

"Don't worry, mom. I'll call Anna right away," after calming her mother, Sabrina immediately dialed Anna's cell phone. But the phone was dead.
She called Anna's manager, but her call wasn't answered. At a crucial moment like this, it seemed like everyone chose to pretend to be dead.
"I want Anna's address, now!" Arka saw Sabrina couldn't contact Anna so he immediately helped her.
It didn't take long, Arka immediately got Anna's home address.
"Sit down. I'll take you to her place," Arka started his car and drove Sabrina to Anna's residence.
Sabrina then called Della, "Mom, I know where Anna lives. I will meet her. Is there still time for us to change the company's brand ambassador?"
"It's too late. Too late. We have put in a lot of capital to invest and also the advertisements have been broadcast by big television companies," Della said frantically.
Sabrina's face slightly changed hearing that and she felt a little regretful. "Mother, I'm sorry. I introduced Anna to you. Let me take care of this matter so that the company does not suffer losses."
"Where are you? I will send someone to help you." Della was worried that Sabrina would go alone.
"I'm with Brother Arka. I'll be fine with him, don't worry," Sabrina said.
"Oh! If Anna doesn't want to admit or refuses to negotiate with you, just listen to Arka's words. He knows what he has to do," Della said.
"Alright," Sabrina replied before hanging up the phone.
"Do you already know how to deal with Anna?" Arka asked.
Sabrina's face looks serious. When she entered her working mode, she looked like a completely different person.
"First of all, I want to confirm whether the news is true or fake. Is there really a video about her," said Sabrina.
Arka nodded, agreeing with Sabrina's original plan. "But I don't think Anna would admit this kind of thing."
Sabrina narrowed her beautiful eyes and thought deeply. "If the reputation of Mawardi Jewelry Company is destroyed because of Anna, she will not be able to bear the consequences. I'm sure she will admit it. I'm confident that she'll be honest with me."

Arka's lips moved slightly, but in the end, he decided to shut up and say nothing.
They rushed to Anna's residence and found that there were many reporters waiting. They all knew the area where Anna lived but didn't know which building.
Arka got out of his car and took Sabrina's hand, walking towards the area.
As soon as they appeared, someone came to greet them.
"Sir, it was I who arranged to meet you," said the person.
"Show me the way," Arka replied seriously.
Darma led them to a building. After that, he negotiated with a security guard. It didn't take long for the guard to open the door for them and help swipe the card so they could go upstairs.
"Anna lives in room number 2016. I'm not coming with you," the person pointed the way, but didn't go upstairs with them.
Sabrina wasn't too tense because Arka was with her. When they arrived in front of room number 2016, they rang the doorbell.
Anna's manager peeked from inside and was surprised to see Arka's face.
"Anna, Arka is coming!" The manager said.
"After what happened three years ago, I never had any contact with him again. Last month, I met him at a party and he pretended not to know me," Anna said confusedly.
"If he pretends not to know you, why did he come to your doorstep looking for you?" The manager looked at Anna in confusion. "Are you hiding something from me?"
"Is it really Arka? Let me see." Anna got to her feet and peeked through the door.
Sabrina stood on the other side, leaning against the wall without showing her face.
She asked Arka who rang the doorbell for a simple reason. Female artists like Anna like rich men. Especially someone like Arka who had a handsome face and great body, also extraordinary wealth.
A man like him is very attractive in the eyes of all women.
Arka then asked in a low voice, "Is there no one inside?"
Sabrina shook her head. "The man said that Anna was still at her house, unless she had run away from the window. I know her. If she saw you standing in the doorway, maybe she'd change first and put on some makeup. And when she's ready, she will open the door. Just wait patiently."
Arka's gaze slightly darkened. "You know her?"
Sabrina took a deep breath. "I know what you want to ask. Why do I have a friend like her, right? She has caused a lot of trouble, but she still won't answer my calls."
"Sabrina, you have to be careful when choosing friends," Arka felt a little surprised.
"Anna's family is bankrupt. To pay off the debt, she was forced to leave school and debut as an artist," Sabrina said helplessly. "As far as I'm concerned, she doesn't have a boyfriend. There might be a misunderstanding."
At that moment, the door to the room opened. Anna's manager appeared but when he saw Sabrina, he immediately closed the door.
Arka has sharp eyes. Before the manager could move, he grabbed the handle and held it. Anna's manager swayed and almost fell over from the force.
Sabrina then barged inside and shouted, "Anna, come out!"

This made Kevin just a little bit different. He paid more attention to people now. Little did he know that this little difference would kill him the next time he encountered another alien about to return home. It would tear him apart, cell by cell, until he was unmade. His mind being transported away. So distantly far away there is a race that advanced to the point where they built dyson spheres to house their civilizations. In their continual expansion, they seeded galaxies with pods and connection satellites. Over time they upgraded their dyson spheres into matryoshka brain Cores. Imagine a computer powered by a star. Citizens of Cores no longer age once they upload their minds into the virtual living system of the Core. While they didn’t age, most still choose to cycle through life and death though at a different scale of time compared to our lives. Citizens can visit other planets and live there as if they were on a "vacation". Mercury is Earth’s hub connected to the closest Core and Earth is a remote vacation spot for wealthy citizens. When the main character was 10 he witnessed a citizen returning to the Core. The story continues 10 odd years later when he again witnesses a similar situation unfolding and manages to touch the person returning to the Core. This causes him to be swept up in the transfer as well and for his mind to join as a "Guest" user of the Core. As a Guest he has limited powers, a starting balance of zero cr or Citizen credits, and no idea how he can get home. He is the first human to ever become a Guest of a Core.

A Nerd's Wet Dream Come True (Tossing an OC into Marvel)
John was an average man. At least that's what he tells himself at night. He lived in a rented apartment in the decent district, a well-paying job, and more student debt than he cared to think about being steadily paid off. Yet he was absolutely miserable. He spent his days living like a zombie, a slave in all but name to corporate. His only joy these days it seems was reading comics and writing fanfics. SI ones. Choke full of power fantasies and large harems. Yeah, even he had to admit he was a loser. His only redeeming feature seemed to be his photographic memory and the library's worth of comics and books he has read. Yet, when fate took pity on him and had John transported into the Marvel Universe, he was only all too happy to oblige. A second chance to make something of himself. Is he going to finally have the comfortable life he wanted? Will he laze away relying on his past life's knowledge or does he want more this time? Will his ambition and hard work lead to sweet fruits, or will it rot away in the darkness hiding beneath the colorful costumes of the hero's society? Now with crossovers! Be warned if you don't like to see OCs messing up the timeline or DC and other stuff showing up. I swear I'm not randomly adding stuff and there is a legitimate (as far as comic books and fanfics can be) plot reason why. (I'll be honest, I don't know "cannon" marvel really... I watched some movies and animated series as a kid, but I haven't picked up a comic in years. This is just some light-hearted and casual writing for fun. If there are any errors or something you think would be cool please let me know.) I'm also trying to have multiple main characters so that might be jarring for some people while I switch perspective. Sorry in advance, I'm new at this and idk what I'm doing, advice and feedback gladly welcomed!
