Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO

Anya woke up in a more cheerful mood today. Yesterday was a great day for her. She visited her flower garden which had long been abandoned and planted all kinds of flowers there. In the next few months, she could start making perfume again!

Besides, Aiden was coming home today! ​​

Anya spent her time in the kitchen today. Since morning, she baked various kinds of cakes and tried to learn new recipes. Previously, she had heard from Nico that Aiden didn't really like sweets, so she looked for fewer sweet recipes. In the afternoon, she also helped Hana to cook dinner.

She cooked dinner while humming, making Hana suddenly ask, "Is Mr. Aiden coming home today?" Hana could feel Anya's cheerful mood so she guessed that Aiden was coming home.

"Hmm… He said he would come home tonight. Will he have dinner with us?" Anya wondered. However, Aiden had not arrived until dinner, so Anya and Hana ate alone like a few days ago. Maybe Aiden would arrive home late at night being too busy.

Anya intended to wait until Aiden came home. She spent her time in the family room until late at night, watching TV, reading books, listening to the news. It was 12 o'clock in the midnight, but Aiden hadn't come home either.

It was late, her eyes were already feeling very heavy. She kept yawning and couldn't open her eyes anymore. Finally, she decided to go back to her room and not wait anymore. Apparently, Aiden really didn't come home today.

While lying in her room, Anya thought of Aiden. Why didn't that man suddenly come home? Was there any sudden work that he needed to finish right away?

The days passed, but there was no news from Aiden either. The man gave her absolutely no news. Anya's phone was also not answered.

She didn't know what really happened. Could it be that Aiden was so busy that he didn't have time to pick up the phone? Anya tried not to think about it too much. She tried to keep herself busy in the flower garden or cook together with Hana. She also went to visit her mother in the hospital and see how her mother was doing.

However, every now and then her thoughts turned to Aiden. She still felt a little worried about the man's condition. Why hadn't Aiden home yet? Why was there no news from him?

One week later…

Anya had just come home from the hospital. Earlier she saw Aiden sitting in the living room chair with a cold face. The man was still the same as when he left, his handsome face was expressionless and mysterious. However, the look in his eyes didn't look as gentle as before.

Those eyes looked very cold, like frozen ice that couldn't be broken down in any way. Meanwhile, Harris stood beside him worriedly.

The atmosphere in the room was tense. Anya didn't know what had happened that the atmosphere in the room was uncomfortable.

"Are you home?" Anya asked as she hurried over to Aiden. It had been a week without news from Aiden, but today he suddenly came home.

Seeing Anya's arrival, Harris immediately left them so they could talk together. The servants who were ready to serve Aiden disappeared one by one when they learned of their madam's arrival.

"Hmm…" Aiden muttered. The man looked towards the lake outside the window. He didn't even turn to look at her. He just muttered incoherently and ignored her existence.

"What is wrong?" Anya asked as she stood beside Aiden, "Is there any urgent work that you can't go home?"

Anya knew something was wrong when she felt the tense atmosphere.

'Is Aiden's job not doing well? Did something happen to him?' Anya really didn't know anything.

"It's better if we divorce." Aiden said suddenly.

Anya fell silent when she heard Aiden's words. Her eyes widened when she heard the words spoken from Aiden's mouth, while the man was still reluctant to look at her.

She didn't hear it wrong. Aiden wanted a divorce with her.

It had been a week since she met the man. It'd been one week since she hadn't heard anything from him. In that one week, her call was completely ignored. What's wrong with the man that he suddenly wanted to divorce her? Was that man willing to collect all the debt right now? What did she have to pay for it? She didn't have any money.

"I signed the divorce papers on the table. You don't have to pay your debts to me. Consider it paid off." Aiden said as he got up from his seat. He turned and was about to leave Anya alone in the room.

Anya's hand immediately caught Aiden's hand, trying to stop him, "What happened? What did I do wrong?" She asked frantically. She didn't know what was her fault that Aiden suddenly behaved like this to her.

Aiden stopped and turned to look at Anya, but not a single word came out of his mouth. He kept his silence. His eyes were cold when she stared at her, making Anya's heart ache a little.

"You said you were only going to be away for three days, but you didn't come home for up to a week. When we just met, you suddenly wanted to divorce me. What really happened?" Anya asked in a low voice. Frustration and worry could be heard in her voice.

She was worried, 'Why was Aiden suddenly acting like this?'

She was frustrated because she couldn't understand what was going on.

Aiden looked straight at her and said in a very cold voice, "Don't you really love me? I'm giving you a chance to be free."

Anya fell silent when she heard Aiden's words. Her hand that was holding Aiden's hand immediately let go, sending the man away from before her. She could only remain silent when she saw Aiden leave, could only stare at the man's back that was facing her.

Freedom…

Aiden gave her freedom…

After she was left alone in the room, Anya sat on the sofa and saw a document and a pen lying on the table. Her hand reached out to take the document and read its contents.

Aiden would divorce her and Anya wouldn't have to pay all of what she owed to him. The man would also provide some money for compensation for their failed marriage.

The document was a freedom ticket for Anya. But for some reason, Anya couldn't touch the pen that was lying on the table. Her hand wouldn't even go near the pen. She could only read the document in a daze, unable to understand why this had suddenly happened to her.

Did Aiden no longer need her? Was that why Aiden wanted to divorce her? Was it because Aiden's plan to take revenge on Natali was over that Anya was no longer useful to him?
