Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO

"I really love you. I want to be with you and the kids forever. I want to see our children grow up and support them until they have their own family. I want to see you build your school and become a great teacher…"

Anya realized something was wrong with Aiden's words. She frowned and felt that something was happening to Aiden. "What is wrong with you? Is this business trip going to be difficult?"

If it was his work that actually went difficult, Aiden would have been able to get through it with ease. He could solve it without fear of anything happening.

But this time he couldn't. 

He couldn't manage his own health like he did with his work.

"Yes, it is very complicated this time. Otherwise, I don't have to go there myself. After returning home, I'll accompany you," Aiden said before letting out a deep breath.

When their Ferris wheel reached the highest peak, Anya immediately grabbed Aiden's hand and closed her eyes. "Quickly say your wish. It will definitely be granted!"

Aiden laughed, but he still followed Anya's words.

He prayed silently, 'Lord, I pray for my health so that I can be with Anya until the end of my life.'

At the same time, Anya also said her prayers. 'I hope that everything will go smoothly for Aiden.'

She couldn't explain her feelings at this time.

She really loved Aiden so much. But after depression hit her, she always felt anxious and doubted the man's love for her.

Aiden kept saying that she loved and trusted her. But Aiden never told her anything when something happened.

Anya felt that pretending to be happy and okay made her even more depressed.

She didn't want to lie to Aiden, but she couldn't go on like this either. The pain kept pressing against her chest that she almost choked. 

Anya needed some air.

…

The next morning, Anya drove Aiden to the airport. After seeing her husband pass the checking point, Anya turned around and left.

Instead of returning home, she went straight to her father's company.

Indah was waiting for her at the office. Once Anya arrived, they would go out of town together.

While he was on the plane, Aiden was somewhat worried that he would leave Anya alone. He immediately called one of his bodyguards who escorted his wife back. "Is Anya home?"

"Sir, haven't you left yet? Madam went to the Pratama Group's company. She said she wanted to meet her father," said the guard.

When Aiden heard Anya went to meet Galih, he felt very relieved. "I see. Be careful and take good care of Anya."

"Yes sir!"

At the same time, Galih looked anxiously at his wife and daughter.

"Anya, are you sure? Don't you want to think about it again?" He asked in a shock.

"Dad, there's no other way. If I stay any longer..." Anya said with a smile that only lasted for a mere second. If she could, she wouldn't want to go either.

She didn't want to leave Aiden.

She wanted to stay with him and their children.

But as her illness got worse, she could lose her mind at any time. She could harm Aiden or their kids. Anya would just make things difficult for everyone by then.

She didn't want that to happen…

"If Aiden comes home and can't find you. He will…"

"I've left a letter for him. I'm sure Aiden will understand," said Anya calmly.

"Galih, Anya's condition hasn't fully recovered, it's even getting serious. She's been pretending to be happy just so that Aiden wouldn't worry. As a patient, Anya shouldn't fake anything just to calm others down. It's too cruel for her and it's not healthy. She should be receiving support and comfort from her most beloved ones," said Indah.

Galih then looked at his daughter sadly. Since Anya returned to Indonesia, many things happened in such a short time. She was still young, but she'd faced many dreadful situations.

Anya was too tired and needed time alone.

"I will make sure Aiden can't find you. But you have to promise me, you can't refuse the treatment and medication that I've arranged. I will find the best doctor for you," said Galih.

"Thank you, dad. I will also try to recover quickly. I want to return to Arka and Aksa, to be their healthy mother. I don't want them to have a depressed and crazy mom," Anya replied.

She knew well that what Jessica said was true.

Jessica said she was crazy. She pretended not to care and didn't listen to her, but actually, that woman's words pierced through her heart.

She also didn't want to be depressed, nor lose her reason.

Looking back on her life, the past three years were the happiest times for her.

The days when she married Aiden for the first time, before she lost her unborn child and before she left Indonesia.

After returning to Indonesia, she was almost shot by Natali. Even though she survived, Aiden had to be hurt because of it.

She was repeatedly in danger because of Keara, especially when she was pregnant with Aiden's child. Keara repeatedly tried to kill her and the child in her womb.

During her pregnancy, Anya was really worried about her child's safety.

After the children were born safely, she thought the danger was over. But who would have thought that it was her mother who got injured and critical.

Her life felt like a wild roller coaster ride, making her unable to endure it any further.

Everyone out there said that Anya was the luckiest woman in the world because she could get Aiden Atmajaya and give birth to twins for the Atmajaya Family.

She also turned out to be Galih Pratama's biological daughter.

Right, there were so many women who wanted to marry Aiden. But that man only loved Anya.

There were so many people who wanted to be part of wealthy families. Galih was filthy rich and had a prominent influence. Everyone called him the king of spices. Now that Keara was dead, Anya was the only successor to the Pratama Family.

How many people out there were barren and childless? Anya could give birth to healthy and cute boys like Arka and Aksa.

How could her life not make everyone jealous?

But they could only see the good things that came her way, without knowing the pain that Anya tried to bury under her mask.

"I hope you can help your mother to take care of my spice garden. I will also take care of your school so that it can be built as quickly as possible," Galih patted her daughter gently on the shoulder.

Anya then smiled and hugged her father. "Thank you, dad."

"You are my daughter. Why are you even thanking me?" Galih stroked her daughter's head. "Let's go."

…

Aiden learned of Anya's departure the next day. She left a letter in their room for him, a letter he couldn't read yet.

His wife was seen at the Pratama Group company last time. Aiden concluded that it was Galih who sent Anya away from him.

The man then immediately called Galih. "Father, where is Anya?"

"Aiden, I'm sorry I didn't tell you. Anya's condition did not improve, it got worse. While on the island, she pretended to be happy though she actually felt so depressed so as not to worry you. Trust me, a father who once lost his daughter for 20 years would never hurt his own child," Galih said seriously.

"She... She was just pretending… These past few months...?" Aiden felt his chest tighten as he heard it. He felt guilty and sorry for not knowing his wife's true condition.

He did not know Anya was pretending to be happy, pretending that she felt better.

"Yes. Anya was just pretending and her condition got worse. If she keeps going on like this, I'm afraid something bad will happen to her. Please understand her condition and why I decided to send her away. Don't ask her where she is now and don't look for her. She will come back when she is ready. She said she would follow the medication and treatment I've arranged. She also wanted to recover quickly so that she could get back to you and the kids. Anya is a strong child. She certainly can heal," said Galih.

"Father, can you at least tell me where Anya is now? I promise I won't disturb her. I just want to see her from afar," Aiden begged.
