The Perfect Wife

Chapter 9 - Engagement announcement

Jason

POV

Shoot I wasn't supposed to tell her we're still married, the plan was simple make her fall in love with me then tell her she's still married to me. What kept me sane for five years was the fact that I knew she never tried to marry anyone else. I honestly am the happiest person a live.

"Jason can I speak to you privately please?" Mr Summers asks

I look at Kay and she nods. I help her sit down and I quickly gave her kiss on the forehead. Before she could even say anything I left and followed her father into a private room.

"What would you like to talk about Mr Summers?" I ask him

"Why would you ever take her part? She's not worth the trouble, and besides you got that model girl. You don't need Kaylene" he says

"Contraire to popular belief, I actually love your daughter and my son, who happens to be your grandson, I would appreciate it if you gave my family a little more respect. I hope you remember what actually happened seven years ago and why Kay and I actually got married. You wouldn't be living in a luxury townhouse, living off of my families wealth. If my father hadn't asked me to save your company from going bankrupt" I say looking him straight in the eye. I chucked my hands into my pants pockets

Sure I always knew about how he treated Kay. I honestly didn't care but I didn't know he would put his hands on her. I honestly wouldn't stand for that. I don't condone a***e.

"Also to add to what you just said. Angela and I broke up five years ago." I say

"Your ex believes you are still together then. She was on a show telling people you're so in love last night"

I look at him in shock

"What?" I ask. I could feel my whole body shake in anger. God I was going to kill Angela if I find out she actually told the media that.

"Last night she spoke with E Mogal about your plans on maybe starting a family soon." He explains

"I'm going to sort this out. Remember what you promised me seven years ago, if I marry your daughter, you'd give me full control over the company and the designer Maria Bailey. But I never even got a meeting with her. She even left the company and started her own line. What's stopping me from telling your daughter why I married her and why the merge really happened?" I say my voice was ice cold and my eyes were dark.

I could see fidgeting. He was intimidated by me.

"Remember Mr Summers if I ever catch you mistreating my wife again, I'll tell her what you actually did fourteen years ago and why she was forced to marry me. I don't think she'll be as forgiving as I am."

He nods. He surely didn't expect me to know about that. And I'm going to use it to protect my family from this vile and dispicable man.

I walk out of the room and I walk to Kay she was still sitting where I left her. Her mother was comforting her.

"Kay honey let's go have something to eat. Tyler should be hungry" I say taking her into my arms

"But Cole." she says

"You can phone him and let him know. They need to find their own way home. Do you really want him to see you like this?" I ask

She still looked distressed, her hair was a mess and her clothes were all wrinkled up. And her face was swollen where her father hit her

We needed to get her home so she could get ice on her cheek and change her clothes.

She nods and we leave her hospital without even looking back, I saw my sister and Tyler laughing on the parking lot eating ice cream.

"Thank you Jason" she whispers as she looked at my sister and Tyler laughing.

Aria had two boys so she had experience with children. The boys are Michael who is 6 and Jackson who is 3. Yes my sister loves Michael Jackson. She isn't married, but has a long time boyfriend who refuses to get married.

We all got into the car and I drove us back to the house that Kay and I lived in five years ago.

I could see Kay tense up when we pulled up at the house.

I hold her hand and give it a squeeze she looks at me and I give her a small smile which she returns.

"Wow this is a big house daddy. Is this where you stay?" Tyler asks

"I used to stay here with your mommy, I don't stay here anymore" I answer honestly

No one said anything.

I got out of the car and opened the door for Tyler. Then went arounf the car to open the door for Kay. I help her out of the car and I held out my hand so she could take it.

I led Aria, Tyler and Kay into the house.

"Aria could you please get Tyler something to eat I'm going to help Kay with her cheek and a change of clothes." I ask my sister

She nods as she leads my son to the kitchen.

I led Kay upstairs. We walked past my bedroom and I led her to hers. Yes we never shared a room when we were living together. Hell I was barely even home.

We walked into her room and I ran her a bath. She went into her bathroom once I was done running her a bath and I took out her something to wear. She didn't take any of her clothes so all of it was still there. I took out a pair of white mom jeans, and a grey basic crop tee. I took a fashion design short course five years ago to help run a fashion design company.

She came out in nothing but a towel, I forgot how much I loved her legs. She was barefoot. I showed her, her clothes and I gave her privacy. I was rock hard and I don't think she would appreciate that right now.

After she was done. I got her ice for her cheek.

"I'm sorry I got there too late." I apologize

She shakes her head.

"It's not your fault. Thank you for today. My father. I've never seen him that angry before I-I didn't know he'd hit me" she says as tears run down her face.

"Kay. It's not your fault. But you don't have to worry I handled it he'll never lift a finger to you ever again. No one will. Look what happened yesterday in my office..." I try to explain what happened yesterday

"No. You don't have to explain anything to me. You have always loved Angela and you don't need to be married to me to see your son. I would never keep Tyler from you, he loves you." she says

"Kay. I don't love Angela. The day you left I broke up with her. I was going to give us a go. I was going to ask you to be my wife. I am so sorry for how I treated you. I believed what other people told me about you. I'm sorry. And our families were rivals so we had to stop hanging out as kids we were taught to hate each other. I guess I thought I loved Angela because she was everything you're not. I was so against everything you stand for that I didn't realise I loved you until it was too late." I explained

She just looked at me.

I remember when we were growing up our families were the best of friends. But one day they became enemies and we were around seven at the time. I still don't know what happened exactly but the company became two and that's what happened.

"Jason I don't know what to say... " she says

"Say you'll give me another chance. A chance to be the husband you deserve, for us to be a family. For our son to grow up in a household with two loving parents" I say

She nods slowly "Jason one wrong move and I pack up my things and leave with my son" she says

I nod. I knew she was being serious.

I hug her and kiss her face, from her jaw to her nose and her forehead.

"Okay, okay. I get it. Stop..." she giggles

"God you're so cute." I say

"Are you hungry?" I ask

She nods. I lead her downstairs. It was quiet. And then I saw Aria and Tyler asleep on the sofa in front of the TV.

I made Kay a cheese and ham sandwich, with lettuce, tomato, cucumber and avocado on it.

She ate in silence while I poured her a glass of orange juice.

My phone rang and I excused myself.

"Conners" I say

"Mr Connors we have a problem" Daniel says

"What's going on?" I ask

"Sir Miss Anderson just went on national television and said the two of you are engaged and getting married next month" Daniel says

"Shoot" I say as I hung up in anger.

Crap. This is the last thing I need right now if Kay sees this I know my last chance with her will go up in flames. I know I need to explain the situation to her before she hears it from someone else. Fingers crossed she believes me.
