Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO

Nico looked and saw the news on the screen. After seeing the contents, he immediately burst out laughing. "Is that woman crazy?"

Galih frowned in displeasure. He didn't like seeing his daughter sad and disappointed like this. After twenty years apart from Anya, he only wanted to give his best to bring happiness to Anya.

But why was Aiden making her daughter sad now?

As a father, he couldn't accept it!

"Aiden, I ask you to take care of it immediately. I don't want Anya to be dragged into this problem," Galih said with a serious expression on his face.

Aiden felt bad about his father-in-law. He had promised to make Anya happy, but he couldn't do it because of those women. 

He couldn't make Anya live in peace.

He was really annoyed with Jessica. Aiden had tried to go the peaceful path so that the friendship and cooperation between them would not be destroyed.

But it seemed like it was no use to Jessica.

"Harris, get someone to delete all the hoaxes and block them. Find out who spread it. I wonder who dares to go against the Atmajaya Family. And also distribute the family photos that we took earlier on the internet."

Anya had been silent from earlier but then finally muttered in her soft voice. "If it weren't for Jessica, who else would dare to spread news like that?"

Galih nodded, agreeing with Anya's guess. "News like this definitely requires approval from one of the parties. How could there be any media that dares disseminate something that they didn't know for sure. They must have told Jessica and asked for her approval."

Aiden took a deep breath, feeling that his efforts these past few days had been in vain. He should have just resolved this problem quickly.

"I just hope that everything can be solved peacefully. I don't want to be too cruel and add to my enemies. I don't want Anya to get hurt and I don't want the Hermawan family to do anything to her. Who would have thought Jessica would make a fuss like this? If peaceful methods don't work, I will use other means."

Aiden immediately called his overseas branch company. He asked someone to control the stock price of the Hermawan Group and make it decrease.

"Uncle, do you want to buy Hermawan Group?" Nico asked in surprise.

Galih laughed seeing it. "It's a coincidence that I also need land in the south. They said that the Hermawan Group owns a lot of land in the area. Who knows if I can buy the land at a low price soon?" 

He then looked at Aiden and said, "If you don't have enough money, tell me, I'll help you."

Anya looked at her husband and father who were discussing company matters as if they were playing some game. "Father, no need to..."

"Who told them to make my daughter sad? Jessica dared to do it just because she owned the Hermawan Group. If there is no more Hermawan Group, what else can she do?" Galih sneered.

"Father, let me handle this matter. I will never hurt Anya," Aiden walked over to Anya and held her hand.

Anya looked towards her husband. "If the acquisition of the Hermawan Group is profitable for your company, you can do it. But if you do it just for me, better save your money. No need to waste it."

"I've been thinking about what you said a few days ago. I took into consideration other people's feelings too much that I hurt those closest to me. I thought what I did wouldn't hurt you. Anya, I'm sorry that I've made you sad," Aiden said softly.

Anya took a deep breath, trying to hold back her tears. "You know for yourself that I am experiencing depression, something that I didn't even know existed before. What do you expect from me? Be patient when you see other women trying to take my position?"

Galih approached his daughter and looked at her sadly. "Why didn't you tell me? Next time you're sad, just tell daddy. Don't keep it all alone. No matter who hurts you, even if it's Aiden, I will definitely teach them a lesson!"

Anya lowered her head. "It's nobody's fault. It's my own fault because I'm useless."

Nico and Harris looked at each other when they heard this.

It took Anya two years to gain her confidence and maturity after separating from Aiden.

Two years ago Anya was still an innocent and clueless young girl.

Two years later, Anya is a confident and charming woman after returning from abroad.

The confidence that she had built up during those two years of painstaking work was now crushed to dust.

Others tried to get rid of her and hurt her, but Anya thought all this was her fault for being useless.

Depression could indeed kill a person from within.

"No, you are too kind that some people get jealous of you and want to hurt you. Anya, Diana has agreed to change your last name to Pratama. I want to announce your true identity," said Galih.

He said it so suddenly that Anya didn't have time to think. "When do you want to announce it?"

"Today. Jessica shared a photo of Aiden when he drove her home and said that Aiden spent New Year's Eve with their family. To deny the news, Harris will use the official website of the Atmajaya Group to release a photo of our lunch together. At the same time, my company website will also put out the same photo with the same background, and announce that you are our daughter who disappeared twenty years ago. What do you think?" Galih asked carefully.

Anya was silent and looked at her husband. Aiden nodded, as if saying that he would support all of her decisions. "What do you think of the name Anya Pratama?"

"Anya Pratama?" Anya muttered in a low voice, still looking doubtful. "Can I call someone first?"

Galih nodded and turned his gaze towards Harris. "Harris, spread the picture showing Anya, Aiden and the children to ward off the issue with Jessica first."

Harris then came down and asked Hana for the photo when Anya called Deny, someone she'd always thought of as her father.

"Happy new year, Father," said Anya.

"Anya, have you eaten?" Deny didn't think Anya would call him.

In the past, he treated Anya very badly. But who would've known that he'd only have Anya in his old days?

Now, he was living alone and also in poor health.

"I spent New Year's Eve with my mother and biological parents," Anya said. "I've found my biological parents, do you already know?"

"I've heard it," Deny replied.

"I might change my name..." Anya said in a low voice.

"You and I are not blood related. Since childhood, Diana was the one who took care and raised you. If your mother agrees, I don't mind it," said Deny.

"Even if I change my name, I am forever your and my mother's daughter. If you need something, you can always look for me," Anya said, her voice sounding softer.

Deny laughed and answered, "I'm fine. I've hired a nurse to take care of me and I still have a lot of savings that I reserved for Natali before."

"Okay then, I'll visit you later," Anya said politely.

"Yes, please send my greetings to everyone. Happy New Year. Daddy is tired and wants to rest now," Deny ended the call.

Anya saw her slowly dimming phone screen. She knew Deny was in a bad mood.

Natali was gone, and so was his wife.

He was old and in poor health.

He had to welcome the new year alone, without anyone accompanying him.

All Anya could do for Deny was call him and visit him. At least she was grateful that Deny was willing to take care of her until she was 10 years old.

"How is it?" Galih asked.

"Mother has told him about the birth and death of their biological child not so long ago. He already knew that I am not his real child. He's probably prepared himself if I decide to change my name one day. Dad, what do you want now? I will just follow your wish," said Anya.

Galih nodded happily. "Finally, I can tell everyone that I have found my daughter! Those old bastards won't dare to fight me again!"

"What do you mean?" Anya asked worriedly.

"His situation at the company is not good. Everyone said that he had no successors. His second daughter died after birth and Keara also committed suicide. The shareholders in the Pratama company wanted to remove your father from his position," said Aiden.

"Father! Why didn't you tell me that you got into trouble?" Anya asked with a shocked look.
