All Chapters of Finding Mr. Perfect: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Freya and Kenneth were about to get up when the host of the program called everyone’s attention.Host: “While you enjoy your meals, let’s hand out a few fun awards. Yes, fun, before we get to the serious stuff. First up, the Glow-Up Award! For the alum with the most dramatic transformation. Proof that puberty was just fashionably late. And the winner is… Leon Porter!”“Fuck,” Leon hissed in his seat. “Can’t a man change after two decades?”Everyone at Freya’s table laughed. Leon got up on stage to receive his award. There were two other awardees next: the Social Butterfly Award and the Most Dramatic Career Pivot Award.Host: “The next two awards are... a little special. So special that the winners are getting actual crowns. Because why not?”An assistant brought out what appeared to be a crown for a man and a woman. Next to the crowns were two glasses of wine. Host: “This next award goes to someone who, if we’re being honest, may not even be one of us. While we were struggling with c

“Over here’s the physics building,” Kenneth said, pointing to one dimly lit hallway.Freya blinked up in the direction, swaying a little on her heels.“Mmm. I like physics,” she murmured. “Especially the part where objects attract each other uncontrollably and then collide in sinful, unchaperoned ways.”Kenneth coughed. “That’s… not exactly in the syllabus.”She smirked, sliding closer, her hand feeling his chest. “I could be your thesis. You’ll need hours of deep… oral analysis. And maybe a few hands-on experiments with your favorite instrument.” He stopped walking. “Freya, are you—?”“Warm. Very, very warm. And you—” she replied in a sultry voice, “—smell like danger and testosterone. And—oh my God, is that a library?” she gasped, turning toward another section of the building. “Let’s go in there and make… noise.”Kenneth arched a brow. Sure, it would be hot to take his wife to the library. Kenneth had the keys to every part of the school. He had been prepared for that evening’s vi

“When were you planning to tell me?” Freya asked, her hands on her waist, her heart racing.The idea of competing against a princess made her mad! “Just how many others are out there? Tell me. Do I need to hire the military?”“I could say the same thing for your flock of admirers in Halliport, Freya.” Kenneth chuckled, like the issue was very trivial. He got up from his seat and hugged her from behind. “It was not important. I didn’t think it was necessary. Should I brag about it?”When Freya glared at him, he pecked the back of her head. Then, in one swift move, he lifted her off the floor and carried her to the couch in his office. They both settled in before he finally spoke again. “This happened over five years ago. It had already slipped my mind.”“Princess Elara Velmora asked to marry me, yes,” Kenneth began sharing the story. “She’s your age, but already fueled by her mother’s ambitions. Elara wasn’t shy about it. She came into my office with a purpose, and that was to gain pow

“We landed in Milan an hour ago. We are waiting for the express train to Paris,” Kenneth said on the phone. “I’ll be there soon.”Freya sighed. “Get some sleep on the train.”“I will,” Kenneth said before ending the call.Kenneth was supposed to arrive in the wee hours in Paris, but a runway accident forced his private plane to land in Milan. So, from Milan, Kenneth and Kirk needed to travel by train and car to get to Paris.At that moment, Freya was having tea on her suite’s balcony. She was about to get up and meet with Geneva when she overheard a conversation from the next balcony.They were very loud, particularly the man.“Let’s have another round.”“I can’t! I have to prepare for a party! But tonight, I can go home to you.”“Tonight? Aren’t you afraid your husband will find out?”“We have an open marriage. It’s been this way since last year. You can’t say anything. It will ruin our business. I have to go.”“I’ll walk you out.”They say curiosity killed the cat, but Freya was no

Sabine’s mouth opened in shock, and it remained that way for seconds.Anita spoke first, “Mr. Wright? You are with Miss King?”Kenneth’s eyes narrowed at the question. His lips twitched as he asked, “Do you see anyone here better suited to be my wife? Why does it look like you’re questioning my choice?”Then, Kenneth’s gaze returned to Sabine, and she immediately felt her skin crawl.Freya’s assistant then revealed, “Mr. Wright, they were earlier suggesting that Miss King was jealous of Mr. and Mrs. Bellamy’s marriage, and that Miss King has a fake husband.”“Um—Ah—” Sabine’s words were stuck in her throat.Kenneth’s gaze darkened as he shifted from Anita to the other ladies, to Sabine, and to her husband. “My wife? Be jealous of you?”“You think Freya wakes up in a penthouse, next to me, checks her billion-dollar portfolio, and says, ‘Wow, I really envy Sabine Bellamy. She’s not only married to an average-looking man, but she’s also still paying off her Porsche in sixty installments.
