Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO

"Keara's death made your father think that I was the one who didn't take good care of her. He said I was the one who caused her death," Indah said, smiling bitterly.

Anya took a deep breath. "He raised her, loved her and never left her side. Of course it was difficult for him to accept her death. Don't worry about it. If he knew what Keara was doing, he would understand."

"Keara hated me. She spread rumours about me, slandered me. That's why I cut off her treatment and transferred her to a regular hospital. Not that I didn't help her. If she killed herself for that, how come it's my fault?"

Aiden replied calmly, "Mother, when dad gets out of prison, let me talk to him. If he still won't open his eyes and blame you, I suggest you make a plan in advance. You can't be happy if you live with someone who hates you. There may be danger."

"Do you mean…" Indah looked at Aiden in surprise.

"Father's mentality has changed a lot over the last few years. He becomes very sensitive, suspicious and probably won't be able to hear what I have to say. After all, I was the first to discover that Agnes was actually Keara. Their plan failed and he went to prison, but in the end Keara still died. To him, we are not family, but murderers who killed his daughter," Aiden said.

Anya looked at her husband suspiciously. She accompanied Indah to visit Galih to prison every month and found her father was still indifferent.

How did Aiden know all this?

"I can send someone to jail to take care of him and of course that person will report his every move to me," Aiden explained.

Anya nodded. "Then, just try to explain it to father first. If you can't, persuade him to seek therapy. If he still refuses and hates us, we should stay away from him!"

"Anya, how can you say that? No matter what happens, he is your father," said Indah.

Anya's face was cold and expressionless. "Mother, what did you do after you found me? You always give me love that you couldn't give for years. You protected me sincerely and truly loved my two sons. But what about dad? He knew that Keara wanted to take my life over and over again. But in order to save her, he did everything he could, even risked his life going into jail."

"Your father was just trying to…"

"Don't you remember the garland in front of the school? Keara wanted to kill us all. Keara wanted to reign over the Pratama Group. She even wanted to kill dad too. But dad was still trying to protect such a person. Didn't he think about me? I'm also his daughter. He also has a lot to make up to me from 20 years of separation," Anya sighed and continued. 

"My father turned himself in to the police and went to prison, not because we reported it. He hated us every day after he went to prison. I won't stop you if you still want to live with him. But don't expect me to think the same. If he didn't change himself, I wouldn't think of him as my father anymore."

Seeing Anya looking so angry, Indah didn't want to make her daughter even more sad just because she chose to defend her husband.

"Anya, I'm not forcing you to love him. If he really doesn't care about me and you anymore, I won't want to be with him," said Indah.

After hearing that, Anya smiled in relief. "Don't forget, mom. No matter what happens, you still have me."

Indah nodded. After that, she changed the subject. "What do you think of Jonathan and Jenny?"

"My father disapproves of their relationship. He was afraid that Jenny would suffer after marrying Jonathan. Being a stepmother isn't easy," Aiden said honestly.

Indah said with a smile. "That's why I wanted to talk to you two. I also want to express my opinion. The Atmajaya family doesn't like Jonathan because he already has a child. Actually, I don't like Jenny either. Apart from being the daughter of the Atmajaya Family, she is useless."

"Mother, what are you talking about?" Anya frowned.

"Is it that hard to understand it? The Atmajaya family doesn't like Jonathan, so why should I like Jenny? What does she have? If it's just a pretty face, there's no shortage of beautiful women in this city. If only famous schools, many big families in this city send their daughters to higher education abroad. Jenny's only advantage is her status as the daughter of the Atmajaya Family. But with you, Srijaya Group doesn't actually need to use marriage to get the Atmajaya Family's help."

Indah looked at Aiden. "Aiden, let's just say that Anya and Jonathan are not related, would you still want to work with the Srijaya Group?"

"I will continue to work with Srijaya Group because I recognize Jonathan's abilities, not because he is Anya's cousin," Aiden answered.

"That's why Jonathan's marriage to Jenny will not only hurt us all, but also become unprofitable. Can Jenny be Alisa's mother? She doesn't even understand how to behave like a proper, mature woman. She could not manage finances and became a good housewife. Working at the Atmajaya Group company alone is not enough to prove her ability. Apart from the daughter of the Atmajaya Family, what other advantages does she have?" Indah is also not optimistic about Jonathan and Jenny's relationship.

In her family, Indah only has Anya, her biological daughter, and also her kin Jonathan and Lisa.

Lisa is married to the man of her choice and is living happily.

Anya is married to Aiden, a man who loves her and protects her in any situation.

Only Jonathan is still alone. He still has to take care of Srijaya Group and his little daughter.

Indah also hopes that her nephew will find happiness one day.

"Mother, did my father-in-law call you? Jenny has been separated from the Atmajaya Family since childhood, just as I was separated from you and it was so difficult to find her. Because of that, my father-in-law was very strict with her. If he said something to you, don't think too much about it," said Anya.

Indah saw Aiden not say anything and said, "Even if Jonathan marries a woman without a great family background, as long as this woman can help support his career and family, he will still thrive. Meanwhile, Jenny is a gem in the Atmajaya Family. She could have married into another wealthy family and not have to work or do housework."

"Having Atmajaya as her last name, her happy life is guaranteed. She won't need to think about food or clothes. But she chose the man she loved. She knows that being a stepmother is difficult and that Jonathan needs help from his wife to protect him and his family, that's why Jenny agreed to go to school and seek experience abroad for two years. She worked very hard to be with Jonathan. In this case, it is difficult for me and Anya to stop them," he added.

Aiden took the initiative to speak. He had already guessed what Indah was going to say and what she was talking about.

Indah was stunned. "So you guys are not against their relationship?"

"Helping them is tantamount to going against father. But going against them means we will hurt them. So mom, don't involve us in this matter. We can't do anything," Anya said while holding her mother's hand.

"Actually, I don't want to do anything either. But it seems I have no other choice," Indah replied firmly.

"Mother, what are you going to do?" Anya looked at her worriedly.

Indah laughed. "Don't worry, I know my limits. If they can't be separated, it means they are meant to be together. I'm going to see Jonathan."
