Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO

Imel had done a lot of bad deeds, but Bima still kept her by his side until now. But it wasn't because he still loved Imel. He only cared about Ivan's feelings.

Once Ivan showed his true ambition and made Bima disappointed, what would happen to him?

Maybe he and his mother would be kicked out of the Atmajaya Family. Imel would remain  Bima's mistress for the rest of her life, and Ivan the illegitimate child.

Anya didn't want Aiden and Ivan to compete. She felt she had to warn Ivan before he made a big mistake.

"Anya, do you really care about me or do you just want me not to compete with Aiden?" Ivan looked at Anya with a smile.

"I care about you, brother. You're a kind and warm person. I don't want you to be hurt," Anya said sincerely.

She was being honest with her heart. Ivan would never be able to compete with Aiden because Aiden was not alone. He had Maria as well as Nico.

That would mean Ivan's opponent was not only Aiden, but also Nico.

Ivan's true abilities were not below Aiden's. He had extraordinary abilities and skills that might rival Aiden. But since he had such a woman as his mother, he could only hold back and didn't show his abilities.

Aiden and Nico still accepted Ivan at the Atmajaya family because Ivan was always humble. Bima also felt guilty towards him and tried to give him the same care.

However, once Ivan wanted to compete with Aiden, their family would fall apart. Bima would prefer his family over his lover and son. In the end, Ivan and Imel would have a tragic end.

Ivan smiled and his eyes fell on Tara's stomach. "I know Tara isn't pregnant. Nico is just trying to keep me from marrying Raisa."

Anya and Tara looked at each other. Ivan himself also knew that Nico was only trying to prevent him and Raisa from getting married, but he did not expose his nephew's lies in front of Bima.

In that case, Anya and Tara had nothing to say anymore. In the meantime, they could still be sure that Ivan was not on his mother's side.

Ivan looked at Anya with a smile. He remembered he had just received news that Aiden was sick. His illness could cause him to be put in a coma or temporary blindness.

If Ivan wanted to replace Aiden, now was the right time. Ivan was not afraid of Nico because he was still very childish. He couldn't even take care of himself.

Aiden on the other hand was a whole different case. He was the real deal.

However, Anya had just called him a kind and warm brother. She didn't want him to get hurt.

If he seized the power and wealth of the Atmajaya Family, who could harm him?

But would he lose Anya's pure love if he did?

The whole Atmajaya Family would fight against him and Anya would be disappointed in him. He would turn into the same person as his mother.

And Ivan didn't want all of that to happen to him.

Would it worth losing the people he loved for the sake of wealth and power?

"Don't worry, dad wants the Atmajaya family to be harmonious and I agree with him. If I want to compete with Aiden, I don't think even Aiden will be able to stop me," Ivan stretched out his hand and stroked Anya's head gently. "Your brother will always be there and will never change."

Anya smiled and nodded.

Ivan stared at her silently.

He muttered in his heart, 'Anya, you will never know what I am willing to give up so as not to destroy my figure as big brother Ivan in your heart!'

Ivan had given up everything he should've owned.

Strength, wealth, power…

Only for Anya's sake. Only for the sake of maintaining his brotherly figure in Anya's heart.

"I heard that you will be participating in a perfume competition in May. How's your preparation?" Ivan asked.

"I experiment every day in the perfume room. I've got an idea, but I'm still trying to perfect it," Anya said.

"I believe you can do it," Ivan replied.

After that, their conversation became very relaxed. Ivan didn't say much. Mostly, Anya and Tara were the one doing the talks, while Ivan listened patiently and occasionally chimed in and made suggestions.

At dinner time, Imel insisted on sitting next to Bima.

Since Aiden wasn't there, no one dared to overtly treat Imel cruelly, so Bima complied with her request.

Nico and Ivan sat next to each other, while Anya and Tara sat opposite them. After serving the food, Maria decided to go back to her room and rest because she was too tired.

Their dinner went smoothly. The happiest person there was Imel. Now she was sitting beside the head of the family.

She could feel what it was like to be the empress in this house.

After dinner, Nico took Tara home while Aiden's bodyguard escorted Anya.

On her way, Anya received a call from Nadine. "Auntie, have you come home? Harris and I are waiting for you at your house."

"I'm on my way. How are you? Are you alright?" Anya asked.

"I'm fine, but Jonathan was injured quite badly. Nico and Harris beat him to a pulp. I visited him at the hospital today," said Nadine.

Anya frowned when she heard that. Nico was very impulsive, but how could Harris do the same?

He was a very calm person and rarely showed any rash behavior.

"Jonathan is a good man. I will visit him and help you tomorrow," Anya said then took a deep breath.

"Harris found something. My brother will also be arriving soon. I'll be waiting for you," said Nadine from the phone.

"I'm almost there," Anya replied.

Twenty minutes later, Anya arrived at her house and was greeted by her mother, with a bowl filled with herbs. "Drink this."

Anya could not stand the smell of the herbs and immediately complained. "Tara said she changed the recipe? Why does it still smell bad like this?"

"This is good for your health. Don't protest too much and drink up!" Diana ordered.

Anya covered her nose and drank the herbal drink in one gulp. It turned out that even though it smelled bad, it didn't taste that bad.

Diana took the empty bowl and said, "You guys talk first, I will rest."

"Thank you, mom," Anya hugged her mother before approaching Nadine and Harris.

Not long after Diana returned to her room, Nico and Tara arrived.

"Aren't you taking Tara home?" Anya looked at the two of them suspiciously.

"I was going to take Tara home, but I heard Harris found something, so I invited her to come along. Uncle isn't here too, that's why I think the more people the better. We can fight them together," Nico said seriously.

Anya nodded. "Everyone is gathered now."

"Last night, Nadine got a message from Jonathan about the location of the hotel. She thought Jonathan was not in the room so she asked the key from the receptionist and went up. However, after entering the room, someone knocked her out. Meanwhile, Jonathan was also on the sofa, lying unconscious," Harris explained.

"Jonathan probably knew who did this to them. He is a very careful person and there is no way he could get caught easily," Anya said calmly.

"You call me at night like this just to say that? What's the point then? I also knew that the Srijaya family did this to Nadine and the Mahendra family was trying to trap me," Nico said.

"Tara, take care of your fiancé. Looks like his brain fails to function again," Anya stared at Nico irritably.

This matter was not as simple as Nico thought.
