Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO

Chapter 454 - First Love Is Hard To Forget

"Anya, what if your mother really did it?" Raka asked. 

"I will apologize to Aiden and ask forgiveness from him," Anya replied in a weak voice. She couldn't live without Aiden.

When she heard that Anya and Aiden might get divorced, Raka was happy. But after that, he realized how much Anya loved Aiden with all her heart.

Raka knew that Anya really loved Aiden and Aiden really cared about Anya.

Raka felt that this kidnapping problem was not worthy of being the reason for their separation.

Even if it came true that Diana did it, at that time, she was injured because of Imel so that she couldn't think clearly. However, all of this had nothing to do with Anya.

Anya's heart was so sincere that she could not hurt anyone and it's impossible for her to be involved in the kidnapping.

"You are completely innocent even though your mother did it. I'm sure Aiden also thought the same," Raka's words made Anya a little calmer.

Right. Aiden was a smart man. He knew what was right and what was wrong.

If her mother really did it, Anya was willing to give her whole life, to serve Aiden to pay for all her mother's mistakes. She would double her love for Aiden.

"Raka, don't let anyone know about this, including Nico," Anya said.

Nico never hid anything from his uncle. When she remembered Raka and Nico's relationship, Anya was worried Raka might accidentally tell Nico that they were investigating Aiden's kidnapping case.

"I understand. Wait for news from me," Raka repleid.

After hanging up the phone, Anya could only heave a sigh of relief. She knew very well that she shouldn't contact Raka and ask him for help like this. But she had no other friends besides Raka.

She couldn't ask Ivan for help in finding out about Aiden's kidnapping. What if it turned out that Imel did it?

So far, various indications had shown that the kidnapping was related to Imel, so they decided not to deepen their investigation.

But why did all suspicions fall on her mother now?

In order to prove her mother's innocence, Anya decided to find out. She must know who actually kidnapped Aiden.

….

Today was Saturday. But since Aiden was working late at the office today, Harris was forced to join him working overtime.

After Nico got engaged, he would always hang out with Tara every weekend and not make his appearance at the office. Nico didn't care even though it was the end of the year.

After Ivan returned to Indonesia, Aiden was in charge of all company affairs both at home and abroad. Luckily, Aiden had dealings with overseas branch companies before, so all the senior managers there were trusted people.

"Sir, I just received a message that Mr Raka is investigating your kidnapping case," Harris said.

"Go according to plan," Aiden replied curtly.

"Don't you want to think about it again?" Harris suggested.

Aiden lifted his head from the computer screen and his gaze fell on Harris. "Do you also think I'm cruel?"

"Madame is very young and Mrs Diana is also not in Indonesia. I am afraid that Madame will not be able to accept the news," Harris expressed his concern.

"I can't be with Anya. We have to part and she has to start on her own path," Aiden's face looked sore.

He knew that all these incidents would hurt Anya. But if he could ease the pain Anya was feeling, Aiden chose to endure it alone.

This was much better than telling Anya that they were related by blood.

…

Three days later, Raka sent the information he got to Anya.

"Anya, the problem is very complicated. The person who was kidnapped is not actually Aiden, but you," Raka said.

"What?" Anya was shocked to hear that.

"Amore couldn't produce new products for several years so Imel ordered someone to kidnap you and forced your mother to give her the perfume formula. But your mother knew that the person who abducted you was Imel. She mistook Aiden for Imel's son so she contacted Aiden and agreed to demolish her garden as long as Aiden was willing to help you," Raka explained.

"Then what happened?" Anya asked.

"Aiden brought Harris along with him but Harris was unconscious when Aiden was kidnapped. It seemed like your mom ordered someone to kidnap him and used him as an exchange for you. But Aiden and Imel didn't have any connection whatsoever, so in the end, a terrible tragedy happened," Raka said cautiously. "It's true your mother kidnapped Aiden."

Anya could feel her head buzzing continuously.

She thought all of this was Imel's plan and that she hid behind Bima so that Aiden wouldn't sue her. But Anya did not think that the culprit was her mother.

Why didn't her mother tell her this important thing?

"Raka, are you really sure?" Anya's voice was trembling a little.

"Right now, that's all I can find. If I could find out, Aiden would have known for a long time. He knew that your mother misunderstood him and that at that moment you were also in Imel's hands. To save you, your mother had no other way but to use Aiden. Aiden should have understood that," Raka said.

"I understand," Anya's heart was beating very fast. As it turned out, it was her mother who had kidnapped Aiden and seriously injured him.

"Anya, you don't know it. This is not your fault."

"Raka, you don't know how much suffering Aiden is feeling. He couldn't see, couldn't hear, couldn't feel, and couldn't stand on his own two feet for a long time. The doctor said that he might be paralyzed for life. It's a miracle he was able to recover like this. And all of that was my mother's fault. My mother made him suffer so much, just to save me," Anya could not forgive herself. She couldn't control her feelings and started crying.

"Aiden loves you very much. He will not care about such a small problem," Raka said.

"How do you know he doesn't care?" Anya shouted. "Keara said Aiden knew everything, but he didn't tell me. Aiden didn't sue my mom just because of my face. He purposely left me by his side to take revenge on my mother. He married me because I looked like Keara. I'm just a substitute, a tool to get his revenge on my mother,"

"Don't believe Keara's words. It's all nonsense," Raka didn't know how to calm Anya.

"Raka, after my mother went abroad, Aiden suddenly changed. He was so cold and didn't care anymore about me that he didn't want to come home. Couldn't he forget Keara? Is it difficult for a man to forget his first love?" when she said that, tears had already trickled down Anya's cheeks.

"That's right," Raka said sadly.

"What do you mean?"

"It's difficult for a man to forget his first love," Raka said with a bitter smile. Until now, he still couldn't forget Anya and couldn't accept her to be with another man.
