Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO Chapter 979

"Aksa won't just let it go. As for Adrian's problem... Let me take care of it. You just need to tell Bella to be careful."
"Bella is still very young. What does she know?" Anya does not agree.
"Bella knows about Adrian's identity. She will not be able to stay silent forever and keep this secret. The last time dad talked about this matter in front of everyone, she was worried that Adrian would be sad and she comforted him. Don't worry, she is already grown up. She knows what she has to do," Aiden said with a smile.
"Okay then, I'll call Bella," Anya immediately called Bella after saying it.
"Auntie, I'm at the office. What's wrong?" Bella asked with a smile.
"Nothing. I'm only worried about you. How about your work in the office? Did he give you heavy workloads?" Anya asked.
"No, no. Brother Adrian is very good to me. He's next to me now. Would you like to talk to him?" Bella looked at Adrian.
"I'm not looking for him. I have something to tell you. But first, find a quiet place so that nobody will listen to you," Anya said calmly.
Bella kept smiling. She put her paperwork on the desk and walked out of the CEO's room, back into her office. "Auntie, you can talk now."
"How much do you know about Adrian's birth mother?" Anya asked.
"I once looked it up on the internet and found that his mother was a very bad woman. Auntie, why are you suddenly asking me this?" She asked.
"Jessica's father has returned to Indonesia. Today, he came to your grandfather's house. When he met an old friend, your grandfather got too excited and told him everything," said Anya with a headache.
"Grandpa is really annoying. He kept trying to match up Brother Adrian and Sister Maya. Now he told the Hermawan Family about all this. He definitely wants to ask for support from the Hermawan family to match Brother Adrian and Sister Maya. But it was you and uncle who raised Adrian. If you don't agree, what can they do?" Bella said angrily.

When she heard this, Anya felt so happy. Indeed, Aiden's vision is never wrong. Bella is a smart girl.
"You are right, but your grandfather has already told you everything. Now Eka suspects Adrian's identity and he will definitely meet him. He wants to know Adrian's true identity and may take extreme measures. You are with Adrian every day. Can you help me to look after him? If something happens, can you tell me?" Anya asked.
"Auntie, don't worry. I'll definitely keep my mouth shut and block out those who mean evil to him," Bella promised.
"I believe you can. I entrust Adrian to you," Anya said with a smile.
"Certainly! I won't disappoint you."
After hanging up the phone, Anya was finally able to heave a sigh of relief and turned to Aiden. "How do you know if Bella can do everything well?"
"Bella likes Adrian. Love will make a person stronger. She will definitely do whatever it takes to protect Adrian," as Aiden said it, Anya immediately sat up straight because she was so shocked. "What did you say?"
"Bella likes Adrian," Aiden said again.
"If Raisa knows this, she will definitely go crazy," Anya's eyes widened.
"Can she stop it? It's Bella who likes Adrian, not the other way around," Aiden said nonchalantly.
"Why are you like this? Adrian is our son. Raisa will never approve of their relationship," said Anya worriedly.
"The two of them will not be together. Adrian only takes care of Bella like he takes care of his sister. Bella also did not approach him. She is just happy to be working with someone she admires. Anya, don't think too much about it. Loving someone is not a sin. Do you understand?" Aiden said patiently.
"What if Adrian likes Bella too? What should I do?"
Aiden stroked her head gently. "Of course we have to go through all the trouble and persuade Raisa to bless their relationship. But what you're worried about won't happen. Bella is still very young. She hasn't even finished school yet. Adrian is also very busy. The two of them won't have time to date."

Anya bit her lower lip and said, "I suddenly felt that asking Bella to help keep an eye on Adrian was the wrong decision."
"Just ask yourself. Can you find the right person to keep Adrian in the company?" Aiden asked.
Anya thought for a moment and finally shook her head. "Apparently, no one. Bella knows Adrian's secret and she will try to stop Eka from meeting him. If I ask someone else for help, I don't know what excuse to use. I can't even ask Adrian's assistant for help."
"Don't worry. Girls in the Atmajaya Family are not that weak," Aiden was very confident.
Raisa is not a parent figure who can educate her child properly. Aiden knows that it was Ivan who educated Bella so that she grew up to be a smart child.
Bella has a cheerful personality, but she is also very tough and has the will to persevere in adversity.
While working at Pratama Group for more than a month, she left for work early in the morning and came home at night every day. She never came late or left early. She did all of her work very well even though she was only a 19 years old college student.
On the outside, she looks very cheerful, always laughing and a little mischievous. She looked like a spoiled child. But when she is serious, she can show another side of her that is no less interesting.
Finally, Anya can calm down. She invited Aiden to go shopping because she hadn't been out of the house in a long time.
Besides, after losing her weight, all her clothes in the closet were too loose for her to wear.
"Let's go to the mall and meet Adel," said Aiden.
"I borrowed these jeans from her closet. Looks like I need to buy new clothes," Anya hugged Aiden's arm. "Mr. Atmajaya, I give you the opportunity to pamper your wife."
Aiden immediately took out a black card from his wallet. "You can swipe it at will. I'll help you with things."
The two of them arrived at the mall together and headed straight for the top floor. When looking at clothes for her, Anya doesn't buy much and chooses only the models that she really likes.
But when she saw a model for a younger woman, she bought a lot.
She bought them for Adel and Bella. And she also bought maternity clothes for Sabrina.
Not only that, when Anya and Aiden went to a jewelry store owned by the Mawardi Group, they accidentally met Jason.
Jason immediately greeted them warmly. "Welcome. What do you want to buy? I can recommend it to you."
"I heard Maya arranged an internship for you at the shop, but I didn't expect you to work here. I just wanted to have a look. Is there any jewelry suitable for girls?" Anya asked.
"Do you want to buy it for the aunts?" He asked.
"Yes, I want to give it to Adel and Bella," Anya replied.
"Here are ring models that are not sold to outsiders. It contains anesthetic and can be used to protect yourself in case of danger," Jason said in a low voice.
Anya smiled and knew right away. "Did Sabrina design it?" She asked.
"That's correct," Jason nodded.

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.

Interface
Welcome to the World-City of Thousel, the sixth iteration of life on the planet. These are the recordings of the people of Thousel. Thousel is believed to be the second longest iteration of life, and the overall most prosperous compared to what we know about the past five iterations. Medicine and technology have all progressed abundantly, and the world itself has been turned into one great city, governed and managed by the Governmental-Company Alliance, or the GCA.These particular recordings concern the discovery of a peculiar machine. When two very different people find themselves bound by the fate of one mysterious bot, life in the World-City begins to change… Interface is a cyberpunk webnovel set in an ecumenopolis world where people evolved with electro-sensory abilities. These senses shape the face of modern technology and life in a world where the three largest corporations run what has effectively become the government. Each of these three companies control various aspects of life in the city, and they all constantly vie for domain and power over one another.The world stands at the precipice of biological, technological, and historical breakthrough. After decades of study into microbiology, archaeology, and geology, it has been discovered that sentient life has lived on the planet multiple times over. These past peoples are referred to as the “prior iterations of life,” and it is believed that five great civilizations were constructed before the rise of the modern world. No one can be sure for certain what caused these peoples’ extinction long ago, and the theories range from simply dying off over time to massive tectonic fractures in the face of the planet. Advanced technology, far more complicated than anything the people possess today, has been uncovered in multiple locations. This has lead scholars to speculate on exactly how long each iteration of life survived and how far they progressed as a society. None of the companies have been able to find a way to make this ancient technology work for their own profit. It is as though they are each missing the final key needed to unlock these centuries old secrets. What could this knowledge reveal about the nature of life across every iteration? What power could it give to the one who wields it?Far from the investigation into the origin of life, two kids unlock a new mystery – one that ties their fates to the discovery of an old, mysterious robot. Suddenly, eyes begin to turn towards them as life in the city of Thousel changes wherever they go…
