"I'm sorry, I didn't know you couldn't swim," Aryan continued, then placed the glass on the nightstand after Laura had taken a few sips. Suddenly, Laura pulled back the blanket covering her body. She felt something strange, looking at Aryan's face, which was also staring at her."Aaaaaa...!" Laura screamed when she realized her clothes had changed, and she instinctively covered her breasts with both hands, her eyes wide open.
"Shuuuutt, what's wrong with you, screaming like that? I was just helping you change your clothes. You weren't waking up, and I didn't want you to get sick. Otherwise, I'd be the one in trouble!" Aryan tried to calm Laura down."Bruk…" Laura kicked Aryan until he fell and bumped into the cabinet behind him."Come on, you were just looking for an opportunity!" Laura yelled, then quickly covered her body again with the blanket. She peeked insiRelated chapters

"Grip tight! I don't want to take responsibility if you fall later," Aryan yelled while opening the visor of his helmet."Yeah, you're so noisy," Laura replied with an annoyed expression. Earlier, Laura had tried to dress as attractively as possible to be Aryan's lady, wearing a hijab and a pale pink t-shirt, skinny jeans, and applying a thin nude lipstick on her sensual lips. She was surprised when Aryan brought his sports motorcycle keys. Laura didn't like riding sports motorcycles, not for any particular reason, but back in high school, she had asked Ricard, her classmate who owned a sports motorcycle, for the reason, and his answer had left Laura stunned. He had said it was enjoyable because there were plenty of girls interested in it without him having to chase after them.Thinking of Ricard reopened old wounds. Ricard was Noval's friend and her first love."Come on, we're newlyweds, so let's look affectionate," Aryan said, snapping Laura out of her thoughts. Lau

"Aryan, what does this mean? You transferred more than our agreement?" Laura displayed a bank statement showing a transfer of 20 million into her bank account."Just consider it a bonus for playing your role so well!" Aryan replied casually, then continued sipping his own coffee. He was annoyed because Laura had successfully played a prank on him yesterday."Why aren't you drinking the coffee I made for you?" Laura asked when she saw Aryan holding a cup of coffee, even though the coffee she made was still untouched on the dining table. Aryan just shrugged and was about to leave, leaving Laura by the poolside."Okay, I'm sorry for my mistake yesterday," Laura said, folding her hands in front of her chest and looking at Aryan earnestly. Once again, Aryan remained indifferent and walked away, making Laura feel embarrassed."I just want to receive the money according to our agreement, I'll transfer it back later," Laura continued, following Aryan as he headed

Aryan and Laura's relationship is getting closer and more intimate. During their one-week break, Laura regularly prepares meals for both of them, and they do many activities together, including cooking, shopping, and cleaning the house. Laura also takes on the responsibility of doing their laundry. Laura wonders why Aryan has always been doing household chores on his own during his time in the apartment.On one morning, while having breakfast dressed in his office attire, Aryan spoke up, "Laura, I'm going to the office today, and I'm not sure when I'll be back. You don't have to wait for me if you want to have lunch. By the way, how's your college going? Do you want me to buy you a motorcycle?"Laura replied after taking a sip of her tea, "Hmm... Okay. I do have a class at 10. I'll just take the public transport since it's close, just 2 kilometers from here.""Are you sure you don't want a new motorcycle? We can give your old one to Nancy for school," Aryan sugg

"Laura, tomorrow morning I'm heading to Bali for a project. Are you okay staying alone in the apartment? If not, I can drop you off at your mom's place," Aryan said, breaking the silence without taking his eyes off the square screen in front of him, displaying people running and chasing after a ball. Laura had been sitting quietly for over an hour, just keeping Aryan company while he watched soccer, occasionally playing with her phone."Hey, are you even listening to me?" Aryan called out and pinched Laura's cute nose playfully."Mmm..." Laura mumbled half-heartedly, stealing a brief glance at Aryan. In truth, Laura didn't want Aryan to leave for Bali.Click... Aryan turned off the TV with the remote control and placed it on the table."Hey, what's wrong? Is it that time of the month? My friend told me girls get moody during PMS," Aryan said gently as he changed his position to face Laura. He observed Laura, who was still engrossed in her phone, with a sm

"Noval? What are you doing here?" Laura asked, still frozen in place. It had been a year since she tried to forget her ex-boyfriend, and now he was back without an invitation."It turns out I could only hold back my longing for you for a year," Noval said as he approached Laura, wearing his characteristic grin."I want to go home," Laura replied coldly, refusing to let her gaze linger on Noval."I just want to talk to you for a moment. I'll be the one to take you home afterward," Noval said, his smile slowly fading as he noticed Laura's less-than-enthusiastic response. Noval admitted that he had been wrong to unilaterally end their relationship."There's nothing we need to talk about. It all ended a year ago, and it was because you wanted it, right?" Laura replied, her tone icy. She didn't want to rekindle her romance with Noval, especially now that her status had changed. She wasn't alone anymore; she was temporarily a part of the Al-Farizi family.

With the sweetest smile on her face, Laura walked toward Aryan and the beautiful woman. She observed the woman carefully, who appeared perfect in her knee-length black dress that contrasted beautifully with her fair skin. Her long, curly brown hair cascaded elegantly, and her natural makeup enhanced her features. Her 7 cm high heels added a sensual touch to her slender figure.Aryan smiled as he saw Laura approaching, and he reached for her hand, guiding her towards where the woman was standing."Vika, let me introduce you to Laura, my wife.""Darling, meet Vika, my college friend." Aryan introduced them one after the other, and Laura offered a friendly handshake. "Did Aryan just call me 'darling'?" Laura's mind suddenly went into overdrive as she tried to process something, her gaze shifting between Aryan and Vika."Laura," Laura replied, momentarily breaking Vika's contemplation."Vika!" Vika responded to Laura's handshake, looking at the young wom

Pretending to ignore Aryan, Laura kept herself busy setting the dishes on the table. Aryan, on the other hand, continued to observe Laura's every move, growing increasingly restless."Do you have nothing better to do than watch me like that? Go take a shower! Afterward, we can eat. I'm starving because you didn't invite me to eat earlier. You're so heartless!" Laura protested, glancing briefly at Aryan before grabbing the juice she had prepared and adding some ice cubes."Still half-past five; let's eat first. I'm hungry too. Besides, I can't wait to devour my beloved wife's cooking," Aryan replied playfully, winking at Laura. Laura didn't respond to Aryan's remark. She fetched two plates, one for Aryan and one for herself, and served rice on Aryan's plate, just as she always did."Thanks, dear," Aryan said as Laura handed him the plate of rice. Aryan was eager to dig into Laura's cooking. He admitted that Laura's cooking was just as delicious as his mother Lian

"Aray, in marriage, you must understand each other, love each other, and compromise. You can't just get angry over small things and run back to your parents' house without your husband's permission; that's a grave sin. If there are problems, they should be resolved calmly instead of walking away," Della said to Laura that morning as they cooked breakfast together."Yes, Mom, we're fine. You and Dad don't need to worry," Laura replied as she stirred coffee for Johan and Aryan. Laura took a deep breath; she couldn't imagine what would happen if they found out that the marriage would eventually end in divorce.Not long after that, Aryan and Johan returned and sat down to talk on the long wooden bench on the house's terrace. They seemed to be having a friendly conversation while enjoying the fresh morning air characteristic of the rural atmosphere. The classic house faced north with a spacious yard, and the tall mango tree, now in bloom, looked magnificent, surrounded by orc

After the birth of the twins, the life of Aryan and Laura's small family became even more colorful. There was no happiness that could replace it, but behind all that, Aryan became the subject of jokes among relatives and family members due to the fainting incident while accompanying Laura during her recent surgery."Seriously, you're so funny for fainting next to your wife during her surgery. Luckily, Laura didn't go into shock; it could have been fatal," Andre said with laughter as they had just returned home from the hospital."Let it go, Dad, there's no need to talk about it again," Aryan replied with irritation as he guided Laura into the bedroom, while the twins remained calm in the arms of Liana and Della.Laura rested for a while, trying to ease the pain from the incision in her abdomen following the cesarean section surgery, which still greatly affected her movements. Aryan wiped the sweat from Laura's forehead with a tissue and gently kissed her.

Seven months later…Laura and Aryan were now in the final trimester of her pregnancy. It wouldn't be long before she would give birth to their twin babies, a boy and a girl, according to the ultrasound results. Laura's pregnancy had been progressing smoothly, even though she had experienced morning sickness for two months.She managed to meet all of Dr. Rahma's recommended nutritional requirements. Despite occasional morning sickness and vomiting in the morning, Laura's appetite had increased with her advancing pregnancy. It wasn't surprising that her weight had increased by 30 kg. Dr. Rahma estimated that each baby weighed around 3 kg, so Laura was advised to follow a diet while waiting for the delivery.For the past two months, Laura and Aryan had moved to a ground-floor room, using the living room as their bedroom because Laura wasn't allowed to go up and down the stairs. When Aryan was at the office, Liana, his mother, would be on standby, and Bi Ana an

Aryan's overprotective attitude made Laura both happy and annoyed. She was ecstatic because she felt deeply loved, but at the same time, she was frustrated by Aryan's constant restrictions. Like tonight, Aryan didn't allow her to do anything except go to the bathroom. He prepared a glass of water for her medication along with the prenatal milk they had bought at the mini-market. And, of course, he always accompanied her to the bathroom every time."Thank you, Honey, for all the happiness you've given me. I promise to be the best husband and father for you and our children," Aryan whispered while hugging Laura from behind. He nuzzled his face into the curve of Laura's neck, his right hand gently caressing her still-flat stomach."You're welcome, and thank you for all your love," Laura replied while stroking the back of Aryan's hand, which was wrapped around her belly. Laura couldn't believe that after all the pain she had endured, God had given her a perfect husband and

Slowly, Laura's eyelids opened for the second time, and now it was the peaceful face of Aryan that greeted her. Laura gazed at the handsome man's face in front of her for quite some time. He was the source of her love and greatest strength up to this point. Not satisfied with admiring her husband's handsome face, a sudden sense of curiosity began to disturb her. She glanced at the wall clock, which had stopped at exactly 4 in the early morning. Without much thought, she pulled open the drawer next to her bed, carefully retrieved a pregnancy test from inside it, and entered the bathroom without making a sound that could wake Aryan.Laura's heart pounded loudly as she looked at the pregnancy test that she had dipped into a small container containing her urine. She lifted the test stick slowly with trembling hands, and there it was... two red lines she had been waiting for appeared. It was crystal clear. For a moment, her body felt boneless, and she sat down on the bathroom floo
Imperfect Love : The CEO's Secret Affair 204. Seminar Proposal
Laura's proposal seminar went smoothly with an A grade, which made her more enthusiastic as she entered the final semester of her college. She only needed to complete the data from her research that she had already conducted. Anton, as her thesis advisor, was now more flexible with all of his supervised students, even though he had a busy schedule as a professor and head of the university's research center. Everything was scheduled, from the day, time, and location of the advisory sessions. If he had any sudden commitments, he would reschedule them at another time, ensuring that all his students for the year progressed smoothly, including leading up to their thesis defense in two weeks."Look at that belly, just like a balloon, Ara," Laura pointed out as she walked with Arabella towards the faculty cafeteria after their last thesis advisory session before the upcoming defense in two weeks."Yeah, it's like a balloon. It can expand and deflate," Arabella replied, pantin

Laura completed her makeup exams without any issues. Everything went according to the schedule set by their respective course instructors. And semester 6 ended with a GPA (Grade Point Average) of 3.6, alongside Arabella, her close friend and now her sister-in-law.Laura spent her semester break learning to cook with her mother-in-law, Liana. They experimented with various recipes from both Indonesia and other countries. Aryan no longer worked late into the night at the office, and if there were urgent tasks, he entrusted them to his personal assistant, Jefri. On Sundays, he spent quality time with his family at home or went out with Laura. Trying out new recipes was something Aryan looked forward to every day because his wife's cooking experiments never disappointed.Finally, the plan to cook together with Laura's friends could be realized. Arabella, along with Andra and Baby Azka, arrived early, followed by Aurora and Laura's younger siblings, who joined in to make th

One week after the surgery, Laura had already started to resume her usual activities. During that week, Aryan had been constantly by Laura's side, handling all his office matters while Andra and Jefri took care of them. Even if there were documents requiring his signature, Jefri would bring them home, allowing Aryan to stay close to Laura and attend to her. Aryan could still manage to check on Jefri's work and reply to emails from his colleagues at home.He did all of this solely for Laura's recovery. Laura often urged him to go to the office, but Aryan refused to budge. He wanted to focus on taking care of Laura until she was completely healed. Arabella and Aurora, as their best friends, always provided their support. Additionally, Nancy and Ricard came to the house to deliver Laura's favorite dishes, prepared by her mother, Della. Many of their classmates also visited Laura at home."Look, Honey, two weeks at home, and my body is getting all soft. How can I resist yo

The long-awaited day finally arrived, the day when Laura was to undergo surgery to remove the cyst in her abdomen. All the preparations for the surgery were in place, and there were only 30 minutes left before Laura would be taken into the operating room. Feelings of relief and worry dominated everyone's thoughts, but they all had to hide those emotions behind smiles to show support for Laura."Aryan, where's Mom?" Laura asked anxiously, looking at the clock on the white-walled room. In five minutes, she would be moved to the operating table, but Aryan had not been seen since he left briefly to go to the bathroom.Liana was nervous, but before she could answer Laura's question, two male and female nurses entered to take Laura to the operating room. Everyone held back their tears as Laura smiled at them, trying to show that she was strong and brave. As the nurses pushed the wheelchair carrying Laura toward the door, Aryan suddenly appeared with a smile. Laura returned h
Imperfect Love : The CEO's Secret Affair 200. Laura's Disease
Aryan could only gently pat Laura's trembling shoulder. He was confused about how to calm his wife. Since returning from the hospital the previous night, Laura had been silent in her room. Aryan had been shocked by the results of Dr. Rahma's explanation that Laura had been diagnosed with an ovarian cyst. This was the reason for Laura's recent abdominal and hip pain, as well as her occasional fever and nighttime vomiting. What pained Aryan even more was that he had been unaware of Laura's illness. Regret. That was the feeling weighing heavily on Aryan's chest now. He felt like he wanted to pound his own chest in frustration. His heart shattered as he looked at Laura's sad state, a promise to never make her cry that he had now broken."I'll get you breakfast first," Aryan said softly as he kissed the top of Laura's head before leaving the room.Aryan walked to the dining room with a heavy heart. Instead of finding his parents there, he saw Ana, their maid, covering the d
