HIS PERFECT WIFE

11

"Did they agree to four million?" he asked.

She shook her head. He furrowed his brows; he was upset but he couldn't bring himself to be mad at her. "Baby, you should've told me."

Was it the wine or the good mood that she was in? She didn't know but she gives him a chaste kiss on the lips.

Her first kiss.

Even Kaia herself was stunned at what she did. Ken still had his eyes closed, "Fuck, baby. How can I even be mad at you?"

"Why should you be mad? I made them agree to one million dollars." she said as she finished her wine and mousse.

He was stunned and choked on his saliva. "One million!"

Kaia nodded and gave him back his checkbook that he only signed since Kaia was the one who wrote the amount.

"Really?" he asked in disbelief.

Kaia chuckling, "You can shade over it with a pencil so you can tell me if I'm joking or not."

"You're a little devil." he said in awe of his Once and grabbing her cheeks with both hands and place multiple chaste kisses on her lips.

In the Creed Manor,

Sarah who just arrived, "Mommy!" she yelled.

Ana heard her daughter's loud yelling as she was using a face mask while watching TV with her husband, Norman Creed.

"Darling, I'll go talk to our daughter." she said as she got up.

"Alright, honey." he said.

Ana came out and went to Sarah's room. "Why do you have to shout, Sarah?" Ana asked.

Sarah held her mother's hands, "You will understand, Mommy. Sit down- because what I am about to tell you is something that you will not believe."

Ana sat down on the edge of Sarah's bed, drinking her afternoon tea. "Tell me."

"Mom, Ken found his Once last night." she said.

Ana choked on her tea, "What!" she screamed.

"See?! I told you!" Sarah said.

"Did you see her? what's she like?! Oh, I can finally stop your sisters-in-law from getting women to try and pursue your brother! I can gloat on your brothers' in-laws now!" she laughed.

"Mom, she's so stunning! She's literally a sweetheart. Even Ken was really gentle and sweet to her! You'll love her a lot." Sarah said.

"Do you have a picture of her?" Ana asked, excitement filling her. She wanted to hop on the car and go to Ken's condo to meet her.

Sarah nodded and smiled slyly, "I secretly took pictures of them for you!"

Ana squealed. She looked at Sarah's phone to see a picture of Ken smiling at Kaia and Kaia who was smiling while looking down.

"She really is beautiful! Doesn't she look like a high school student?" Ana asked, horrified. Her son was already 31!

"She's 25 years old." Sarah chuckled. "Her name is Kaia Blanco-Bello."

Ana raised her brows and smiled, "Such a pretty name."

Sarah nodded, "Mom, she cooked for lunch and it was amazing! You know that Ken was a picky eater, right? He was devouring everything like a pig!"

"Even Rome was shocked to see Ken acting like a different person." Sarah said, smiling. "It's amazing, isn't it, mommy? I invited her to the party on Friday. She's with Ken at a client meeting right now."

"He brought her to the meeting? Well, yeah, that really is his Once. He wouldn't bring someone to a client meeting." Ana said. "Can't we go to his condo now?"

"She just arrived in the country last night, mommy. Let her rest for a few days." she chuckled.

"She's as innocent and pure as a lamb, mom! I kind of feel bad for her since Ken is the reincarnation of the devil."

"Your brother will get a beating from me if he hurts Kaia in any way." Ana said already imagining what she and her husband will do to protect Kaia from their ruthless son.
