CHAPTER FIVE

KAGE'S POV

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

Five minutes ago, this woman was not having it, but suddenly, she wants to bear my child? I was too stunned to speak, and so I just stared with my mouth half open.

"Kage?" Andrea called out. She was dead serious.

"Ye-" I stuttered and cleared my throat. "You will do it?"

"I will." Whatever transpired between her and the caller, as much as I was dying to know, was not my business. My primary concern was capitalizing on this sudden change of heart and getting her to sign a new contract before she cowered out again. I know I'm not a great person.

"Great. I'll call Mr Watson to come right away so we can begin negotiations for a new contract."

She nodded and turned to walk away.

"Where are you going?" I wasn't quite sure why I was asking. There was a look of melancholy that lingered in her eyes since she answered that phone call.

"Inside?" She turned and shot me a slightly irritated look. "Are we not finished here?"

"You haven't eaten yet." This is unlike me. Why do I care?

"Later. I'm still so tired from yesterday. I would like some more sleep, Mr Crown."

I walked towards her. "Andrea, we're out in the open. Don't call me Mr Crown. I'm your husband."

She nodded and started to turn again.

"Andrea, are you sure you're not hungry? You might be when Mr Watson comes-"

"If that's what you're so worried about, Kage, I won't wake up and change my mind. I said I'll do it. Can I go now?"

My chest tightened. We stood staring at each other for some seconds before I turned and walked back to my initial spot under the raffia umbrella. By the time I was on the deckchair again, Andrea had disappeared into the building. I interrogated myself as to why I cared so much about this woman, why I wanted her to stay with me so badly. Who could have called her and what could they have possibly said that had shaken her up so much? Andrea was a bit of a mystery. When we went over the first contract, she told me she needed the money to care for her mother. Could it have been her? I chuckled when I remembered that she added that she needed enough to leave her job for good. So many would kill to have her job, yet she wants to leave. My faced ached, making me realize I had been grinning hard.

When Mr Watson arrived, I called her Andrea on the phone. I noticed immediately that her eyes were red and puffy, and she was sniffing a lot. When she spoke, her voice was raspy.

"Excuse me, Watson" I cut in during the negotiations when I could no longer take it, "I would like a word in private with my wife"

Mr Watson seemed to wink at the mention of her being my 'wife' but I was in no mood for it. Andrea had a puzzled look fixed on my face as the lawyer strolled away.

"I cannot do this while you're in this state. It doesn't feel right."

"What state?" Andrea sat up straight. "I said I will do it. I want to."

"Why, Andrea? Does the phone call have anything to do with this? And why have you been crying?" I tried to keep my voice as low as possible to reduce the risk of being overheard.

"Why does it matter? You're not being professional, Kage"

I paused to weigh my words.

"Andrea, I need to know you're okay." My own ears could not believe the words they heard from my lips. "Tell me what's wrong."

Her face softened and her lips trembled slightly.

"Kage..." Her voice came out in an endearing whisper. "I'm okay. Really. Call Mr Watson back"

I looked at her long and hard, momentarily unable to drag my eyes away from the goddess who sat before me. Mr Watson returned at my call and we finalized agreements, had the documents typed and printed and then we signed.

I kept myself busy by making some calls and asking the new secretary about any developments at the company. Soon, I had nothing to do. Strolling around the resort, I had an idea.

I knocked on Andrea's door and thought of running away and burying this idea in the deepest part of my mind, but I stood and waited for her to come to the door.

"Andrea..." I started when she opened up. She still had the sundress on. I swallowed hard. "I would like to take you out to dinner... Outside the resort. A change of scene"

Her brow went up in surprise, then came down in a manner that made her look unimpressed. "Of course. We have an act to main-"

"No, not an act" I cut in. Why did I feel the need to clarify? Why am I asking her on a date in the first place? "I just thought it would be nice to- well I'd like to know the woman I'm married to-" I was rambling embarrassingly and I could not stop myself.

"I would love to." She said with every ounce of sincerity in her body.

"Do you have a dress picked out for me already?" She asked teasingly. "You seem to know what suits me quite well."

I chuckled. "Honestly, no. I will have one delivered right away" I pulled out my phone. I was thinking of going to just get Chinese food."

"No." She stopped me, "I have plenty of new dresses that I haven't tried. Where are we going? Somewhere fancy?"

"I guess you could call it fancy..." I had not thought this far.

----

I stood before my mirror in my black shirt, black trousers and brown trenchcoat. Satisfied, I walked to Andrea's room and knocked.

"Just a minute" She called.

My heartbeat got faster by the second. I felt like a schoolboy. The door finally opened and I took her all in. She was simply stunning. The dress she picked out so well. Yes, I would definitely have a child with her.
