CHAPTER FOUR

KAGE'S POV

The long drive to our intended honeymoon resort was filled with awkward silence and shifting uncomfortably. Andrea sat still with her eyes closed, head backwards and her chest heaving evenly. I studied her profile and found myself swallowing hard. She was a beautiful woman, and somehow, anger looked good on her. I searched my mind for a way to broach the topic and find out what exactly she heard. 'But why was she listening on my conversation with my father?' I thought irritably and held on to my new found annoyance as a form of defense. She had no right.

We had a large, lavish suite with two rooms. Andrea stormed into hers without saying a word to me. I had a whiskey and brooded over my dilemna. I'd done it. My father wanted me married and I produced a wife. As if that was not enough, he was now asking for an heir! Why was he doing this to me? Forcing me to marry against my will, now demanding I bring a child into this world which I am in no way ready for. Andrea and I would have to revisit the terms of our contract and include childbirth- that is even if she agrees.

I heard the shower running in from Andrea's bathroom determined in my mind to speak to her about it. We are partners in an elaborate scam, anyways. She should not be getting all emotional now. After waiting some minutes, I knocked on her door when I believed she was dressed. I knocked again after not getting a response. The door opened and she walked back to sit on a chair adjacent to the bed. I remained standing.

"Andrea, there has been a develop-"

"I will not have your child, Mr Crown." She stated as a matter-of-factly. I was taken aback by her seeming indifference.

"Andrea, you-"

"If I knew this was your plan all along, I would not have accepted your offer." She continued, cutting me off. "

My irritation began creeping back as her emotion seeped through the cracks of her calm demeanor.

"How did you intend to do it even? You thought I would be oh so happy to sleep with you? Or maybe you planned to drug me? Or just flat out ra-"

"Miss Charlton!" I felt insulted by her insinuations. "Do not dare complete that sentence. You had no business snooping around and eavesdropping on me and my father's conversation. You have no business speaking to me in that tone, or making such disrespectful suggestions. Do not forget your place."

I turned on my heels and headed for the door, but paused when I held the handle.

"If you want out, I will have the documents sent to you for the contract to be terminated. You will of course receive your due." I turned to look at her briefly to allow her speak if she wanted to. "Otherwise, we will discuss the new developments tomorrow. Goodnight."

ANDREA'S POV

My heart thumped with furious indignation as Kage shut the door behind him. My fists were white from being clenched too hard. After many deep breaths while pacing around the room, I calmed myself and sat down to consider my options. I could terminate the contract and walk away forever. My compensation would be definitely handsome. Or I could stick around and hear what Kage has to say. He always comes up with some plan. Maybe he'll get us to adopt a child? Ah, that must be it... I convinced myself and drifted into sleep.

I woke up late the next morning; the sun had already risen in all its glory. I was about to get up when I remembered I'm on my honeymoon and I have nothing to do but relax. I giggled mischeviously. Fifteen minutes into my waking up, I heard a knock. I adjusted my pajamas, and tried to smoothen my hair.

"Yes?"

Kage walked in with the air of a hot playboy on a Hawaiian beach around him. He was wearing a flowery shirt, unbuttoned, a pair of shorts that stopped just above his knees, and sandals. I'd never seen his legs, and I sure as hell never imagined I would see Kage Crown's toned abs. I resisted the urge to swallow.

"Good morning, Andrea. We will have breakfast on the beach and discuss terms." He stretched out his arm and that was when I realized I'd been to distracted by his physique to notice the sundress he was holding.

"Please, put this on. It will fit you excellently." He dropped the dress on my bed and turned to walk out.

"Oh and- Look alive. There will be lots of paparazzi. You're on your honeymoon." With that, he grinned and walked out.

I brushed, showered and wore the dress. It was almost creepy that the dress Kage got me suited me perfectly... as if he knew my measurements and had it prepared specially for me. I waved the thought away while admiring myself. The dress stopped right above my knees. My legs were no model's legs, but they were attractive enough. I packed my hair into a bun, applied some lipstick and walked out.

Kage was lounging on a deckchair under a large raffia umbrella. He had sunglasses on, but I knew when he registered my presence- he shifted a little and took a sip of his juice, then sat up as I got close.

"Andrea." I watched his wet lips move. "You are a beautiful woman." I flushed hard. Is this part of the act? Holding my hand, he stood up and closed the distance between us. My heart began the thumping that had seemed to become routine since my 'relationship' with this man started. A camera flash in the distance caught my attention and I turned to see a man with a camera moving away from a resort guard. The butterflies in stomach evapourated with disappointed. It was all an act, I guess.

"The storm isn't here yet." Kage chuckled. "Once he uploads that photo, everyone with a camera within a two-mile radius with come here."

"You're okay with that?" I furrowed my brows.

"I need to sell this this marriage, so yes. It has to look believable. So now, my dear wife," he bent to pick a glass of juice and handed it to me, "Let's sit". He smiled broadly and I reciprocated for whoever may be watching.

"So..." I started. "What's all this child talk?"

"My father just brought it up. I mean it, I did not know about it until yesterday."

"He wants us to have a child... in a year?"

"Yes."

"Or?"

"You know... Alex will get everything"

I nodded. My mind was searching all its compartments for a way to say no and get myself out of this mess.

"Look, we have some time. If you are not ready for this conversation, that's alright. But I want you to really consider it"

My phone interrupted us. I mumbled an apology and picked it up. My face lost all its blood when I saw the caller.

"Sorry, I have to take this"

"Alright."

I stood and moved away a little, then swiped across the screen to answer the call.

"Yes?" The coldness in my voice shocked even me.

"You got married without telling me, Andrea?" My mother asked me, rather accusingly.

"I"- I started without even knowing what I was going to say.

"Really, Andrea? I am your mother. I am stuck here in a run-down home while you're getting married to the richest man in the country?" She rambled on. "What's next, Andrea? Kids? You're going to have children without me even knowing?"

"Yes" I responded. "I will have a child and you will never even see him". I hung up and observed how much my hands were shaking. "Or her" I mumbled to myself.

"Andrea?" Kage, who was now standing a few feet behind me called out. "Are you okay?"

I turned to him. "I'll do it. When do we start trying?" His confusion was apparent.

"Start trying? Andrea, are you-"

I locked my eyes with his.

"When do we start trying to have a baby?"
