Soraya’s POV

The rest of the week flew by so quickly, I was living in total bliss, every night I found myself sleeping in Xander’s room in his arms and every morning when I woke up he was still there. It felt really good but I could not help it but think that this was some sort of dream and it was too good to be true, that sooner rather than later it would all come tumbling down like a ton of bricks. After all, Xander didn’t love me, he might care and want to protect me but I understood that it was simply because of Kai.

Somehow his assistant had managed to arrange our moving for both Kai and I and my parents. Our passports were ready and our things packed.

My mom and dad had called me to alert me that a young lady had arranged for movers to come and pack up their entire house, they had decided to sell anything that they didn’t need and Xander promised to foresee the sale of their house. Everything else would be shipped off.

I had gone with him to sort through the things at my storage, a lot of the furniture was to be put up for sale and then what I needed was boxed and shipped off to Greece with my parents things. It made me so nervous to get rid of things that I had used to build my home, I still had that feeling in the back of my head that things would go wrong and I would have to come back to Phoenix and start over again. What even made it worse was I was uprooting my parents as well.

Stacy and Hector had gone back to California with the promise to join us in Greece in just a few weeks. At the hotel, the maids had brought in big suitcases and packed up all our new clothes. Xander, Kai and I drove to the airport in a chauffeured car and my parents followed in another one. I still couldn’t believe that they had agreed to move but I was so happy that they had. I wanted my dad to get better and if this drug trial in Greece had promising results then I would take it.

My parents had been so shocked by the lap of luxury that they experienced when they were around Xander, even the tight security had them so worried that my father asked me what he did for a living and how old he was. Again I had to water down the truth, it wasn’t exactly a lie, he did own hotels, clubs and was in real estate. Stacy had mentioned that his family owned banks in Greece. My father relaxed after I told him all this, unfortunately I had no idea how old he was, I found that funny. I couldn’t even guess his age.

Before long we were seated and taking off around two pm in the afternoon. It took 14 hours to get to Greece, I was glad that my father had been cleared to fly the long distance. The plane had 2 large cabin zones that were not as big as the main en-suite. I got my parents settled in one of them but Kai plainly refused to sleep in the other one.

“Why don’t you want to sleep in here?” I asked him.

“I want to sleep with you.” He sulked.

“Sweetheart, mommy sleeps with daddy.” I tried to explain.

“Reggie sleeps with his parents sometimes.” He pointed out still sulking.

“What’s going on in here?” Xander stood by the door of the cabin and looked at us.

“I want to sleep with you and mommy.” Kai folded his arms on to his chest looking like he was about to cry but was too stubborn to do that. I rolled my eyes and Xander chuckled.

“Why is that buddy? Is the plane scary?” He asked.

“No, I just want to cuddle with mommy.” He said.

“I understand buddy, mommy gives very good cuddles doesn’t she?” He winked at me making me laugh.

“Uh huh, have you cuddled with mommy?” He asked Xander. “Reggie says his parents cuddle and play wrestling in bed.” He said innocently. Xander roared with laughter as I blushed. I really loved the way he laughed. It was so jolly and infectious.

“We may have cuddled a few times, your mom does love to wrestle.” He joked and I gave him a ‘stop encouraging him’ warning kind of look.

“Okay, can I sleep with you today daddy?” He put on a puppy dog face. Okay my son was becoming spoilt and Xander was to blame, Kai was learning to milk the situation especially when his father was around.

“Okay buddy, jump on my back” he said and we walked to our room.

When we arrived in Athens I was just so enthralled by the sights out the window. It was gorgeous, Greece was known to be mostly mountainous country with a very long coastline but as we drove through Athens, it was a city with a lot of cobbled stones, it was classy and bright. We drove into the Adamos family estate I could not believe what I saw, it felt like we had just entered a whole new world, separate from the rest of Athens. Xander was describing it to me, telling me how many acres it was but I was lost in its beauty, the lawns were well manicured, trees well kept and trimmed. Bright colourful flowers every where and I could smell the sea not so far away.

We drove quite some distance before we got to the driveway. The car halted and the driver opened the door. John appeared from nowhere with a bunch of maids dressed in neat white and blue starched matching uniforms. The male housekeepers were dressed in collar half sleeve shirts, the colours matched those of the females but the men wore formal black pants. They proceeded to carry bags into the house. My mom and dad got out of their car, they were just as shook as I was. There was no way one could act normal like they were used to seeing this everyday when it wasn’t true.

“This is magnificent.” My mom said. Just then a woman came out of the house with open arms. She had such a kind face, I could tell that she was Xander’s mom because she exuded the same kind of confidence. She wore a flowy floral maxi chiffon dress that fit her slim figure so perfectly, it was matched with a belt on her waist and 5 inch heels. Her hair was in a stunning cut with discreet layers and subtle honey highlights, her long locks grazed her shoulders but top layers were cut gradually short.

“Welcome everyone, please come in.” She stretched out her hands as she smiled. Xander went to his mom, hugged her and kissed her on the cheek.

“Hello mother, good to be back home.”

We walked into the house and she led us to a lounge. Of course the house would look like a villa and hotel at the same time. At this point I had just told myself that it would take me a while to get used to this kind of luxury and leisure.

Xander introduced us starting with my parents, she hugged them like she had know them for years as they shared some banter and complemented her home.

“Please call me Gaia.” She said.

Then he introduced me and she stood in front of me and just beamed. “Let me take a look at you my darling girl.” She said as she cupped my face and kissed both my cheeks. “What a vision you are.” I blushed profusely. Kai stood there with his hand in mine and he tugged my hand causing both myself and Xander’s mom to look at him.

“And who is this little one, you look just like your father when he was just your age.” Her eyes teared up.

“My name is Kai Alexandra Eaton but daddy says now my surname is Adamos.” He said proudly but said the surname in a funny way causing all of us to laugh.

“Indeed you are my boy. I am your grandmother but you can call me Giagiá, that’s how you say grandmother in my language.” She said to him and ruffled his hair. “You are such a treasure little boy, you don’t know how happy I am to meet all of you.” Kai went to her and hugged her waist, making her smile.

Refreshments were fetched and then we were led to a dining area where lunch was was served.

We met Hector’s mom as well who was just as stylish with a short bob. She was just as slim, dressed in a floral two piece pantsuit.

“The rest of the residence has already had lunch, my mother in law informed us. You will meet them all at dinner. We all try to have at least one meal together everyday to catch up.” She added.

When we were done eating, my mom and dad were shown to their beautiful 3 bedroom cottage, it had a lounge, dining areas and a sun room, it also had a study and a sunny studio for my mother to paint in and a den for my father to relax in. it was just as gorgeous as the main house. This actually was a house in my opinion, not a cottage.

“I thought you might want a little privacy but if you prefer to be in the house then I will have it arranged, this is your home now and I want you to be comfortable please.” She said in her thick accent.

“This is perfect Gaia, thank you, you even arranged a painting studio, it’s perfect.” My parents looked satisfied.

Next Gaia took me to where I’d be sleeping, we went up a grand staircase, the house had a west and east wing. Xander had excused himself to go and check on some business in his office. We came into a very big bedroom.

“This is your room with Xander my dear.” She said and smiled.

My things were already packed and arranged neatly in the walk in closet. “If you would like the interior changed, please let me know, I tried to modify it so it has some feminine features as well.

We moved past a few bedrooms down and entered a huge room that looked like a toy and games room but beyond that there were three doors leading to three kids bedrooms

“Currently we have just two kids in the estate, Dorian has a boy who is the same age as Kai , his name is Jovan and My daughter Sofija has a 6 years old daughter, Ajana . They share the play room but each have their own rooms with en-suite bathrooms.” I nodded my head and bent down to talk to Kai.

“Honey, one of these rooms will be yours,Giagiá will show you which one and guess what, you will have some cousins to play with.” I smiled at him.

“But what if I want to cuddle with you and daddy like last night?” He said sulking.

“You can always do that but remember even though you cuddled with mommy you had your own room back in New York and at granma’s in Phoenix, as well as at daddy’s penthouse at the hotel?”

“Okay, you promise I can cuddle any time?” He asked me looking worried.

“Yes my love. Giagiá has prepared your room so beautifully” I said as we walked into one of the rooms. There were block letters on the wall that spelled out his name. It warmed my heart. There were such beautiful details that represented Kai’s personality, my eyes teared up.

“Oh Gaia this is just so amazing and thoughtful.

“Xander was very detailed about his descriptions.” She smiled.

“Thank you.” I went to hug her.
