The Greek Billionaire’s Indecent Proposal
Chapter 32

Sofija’s POV

I exited the kids room as quietly as I had gone in. That b***h was turning my own child against me. How could Ajana say that? I mean yes I had never wanted to have kids, much less a daughter but she was mine.

I walked back to my room, I definitely couldn’t wait to get rid of Soraya. She would regret ever coming to Athens. She would regret messing with me! This was my home and I would never let her have it. My brother would always belong to Hera no matter what happened. She was his one and only true love.

I couldn’t help it but give a little scream. I wanted to break everything breakable in sight. I breathed in and out, trying to calm myself. Even Joud was turning on me, he was so loyal to my brother he couldn’t even see his own potential. He might have been a last born and overlooked by his family but he was much more smarter and more powerful than any of his halfwit brothers who were running his father’s businesses to the ground. I had seen his potential from the moment I laid eyes on him.

I was doing this for him and our future son. He would see it soon. He would thank me when it all became a reality.

Xander’s POV

Soraya was not in our room, had she gone back to the guest bedroom? I walked there and opened the door, there was no one and the bed was made. Maybe she had fallen asleep in Kai’s room. I checked the time, it was two in the morning.

I walked into the kids rooms to see that they had built a fort. I chuckled softly as I walked towards it. Soraya lay there with Ajana cuddled up to her. I couldn’t help but smile. I didn’t have the heart to wake her, I’d never seen any woman be such a good mother, I loved my mother but growing up I knew that I wasn’t just a product of her but my grandparents and the nannies as well. Soraya insisted on spending time with Kai and doing things for him instead of letting the nannies handle everything.

I admired that soo much about her. Usually Sasha and Sofija were too busy attending social events to spend time with the kids.

I exited the room and went back to the bedroom. Security protocols for the gala had been been discussed over and over again. Moretti was nowhere near Greece. I had been on edge, as powerful as my family’s name was, there was always someone out there looking to make a name for themselves by going after the biggest target they could replace and Moretti Had chosen me.

I never underestimated my opponents no matter how small they were. Moretti was smart enough to know that I had weaknesses, a man’s weaknesses could bring him to his knees no matter how powerful he was.

What put me on edge was that it wasn’t even about taking over my territories anymore, he didn’t care about my businesses. He wanted to see me bleed. I would not give him that satisfaction.

Soraya’s POV

After getting the kids ready for breakfast in the morning I headed towards the guest bedroom and locked my door. I could feel the nausea just building up inside me. I ran to the bathroom and sat on the floor by the toilet and started to heave.

Stacy was right, I wouldn’t be able to keep this from Xander for too long. With my first pregnancy my morning sickness had not been this bad. In fact it had been a simple pregnancy, even though I was terrified of doing something wrong most of the time, I had enjoyed it.

I brought up the contents of my stomach and when there was nothing to bring up, the bile came out. I closed the toilet and flushed it then sat there for a while just trying to breathe to settle my stomach.

I got up and brushed my teeth then I got into the shower. Even though I had gone back to Xander’s bedroom, I had opted to leave some of my things in the guest bedroom.

After getting dressed I went downstairs, I had to take a walk, there was no way that I could keep anything down for breakfast. I decided going to visit my parents would be a better idea.

I let myself in, my mom was already in the kitchen making a pot of tea.

“Mom, do you have a recipe for a tonic that will take away my nausea?” I asked her.

“I hear Helga makes a fine tonic.” She joked and I rolled my eyes. “Still keeping secrets are we?”

“No, I’m just waiting for the right time.”

“The right time to do what?” My dad asked as he came into the kitchen.

“Uhmm…to tell Xander that I’m pregnant.” I said in a low voice.

“And when were you going to tell your old man?” He smiled and held out his arms for me. I hugged him.

“Today…” I said and he chuckled.

“So why are you keeping it from him.” My dad asked looking at me suspiciously.

“He has just been really busy and on edge dad.” I said hoping that they would drop the topic. “I need something to make me stop throwing up.”

“There’s a remedy I can make for you. It has a little ginger.” My mom smiled at me.

My phone began to ring. I took it out of my back pocket and walked to the den to answer it.

“Xander?”

“Angel, Where are you?” He asked over the phone.

“At my parents, i came to check on my dad.” I lied. I was actually hiding from him as well.

“Oh, I thought I would see you this morning, you were not at breakfast.” He sounded concerned.

“I will see you later, when we are getting ready for the gala.” I tried to buy myself some time so that I could be completely calm about last night’s situation.

“Are you okay?” He asked.

“Why wouldn’t I be? I will see you later. I have to go.” I quickly hung up.

“I’m just going to hang out in your painting room mom.” I called out. I couldn’t take the questions from my parents either.

I took out a canvas and some pencils and started to draw.

Stacy’s POV

“Okay so I have brought in someone to help with our make up and someone for our nails and another for our hair. It’s going to take all day to get ready. Oh my gosh I am so excited.” I exclaimed.

This was totally me, I loved to go out and be the life of the party. I loved to dress up in fancy clothes and have my nails and hair done. The fact that Hector knew this and spared no expense when it came to my requests was like a fairytale to me. He always indulged me.

Soraya was still looking a little down even though she choked it up to morning sickness. I didn’t believe her one bit but I didn’t push. We sat by the pool while our nails were being done.

“You know what’s missing right now? Champagne!” I sighed and she laughed.

“You are crazy. But yeah I think alcohol would definitely make me feel better right now.” She giggled.

“Remember the first time you and I had alcohol?” I asked her. We looked at each other and burst into fits of laughter.

“We were 16, your dad’s liquor cabinet. It was just before we had to leave for Carter Neeson’s party. The first one I had actually been invited to.” She laughed.

“And we thought it would be a good idea to loosen ourselves up by taking shots of my dad’s whiskey. Little did we know that it was so potent.” I added.

“We thought we were so mature with those whiskey glasses in our hands, downing one after the other, I kept wondering if it was supposed to burn my chest the way it did.” She laughed so hard she had tears running down her cheeks.

“It was the dumbest idea. We ended missing the party because we were to drunk too leave the house. I could have married a quarterback.” We settled down but we were still giggling.

“I was such a nerd but when I was around you I felt like I belonged everywhere.” She said, making me tear up.

“Awww Raya. I’m the one that’s lucky to have you.”

We got dressed together while we waited for Xander and Hector.

Soraya looked amazing in her burgundy A line off the shoulder sweep train chiffon evening gown. It had some sequins detail with a split front, she matched it up with champagne gold Jimmy Choo embellished leather stiletto sandals. Her hair was super glamorous! In multiple twists that have been overlapped to make a low bun look with some accessories to add a little dazzle.

My dress was a navy blue mermaid off the shoulder sweep train Velvet evening dress with a split front as well. I had chosen silver Gucci stilettos. My hair was done up in a big puffy bun.

Our make up was light but flawless. Gaia had given Soraya, Sofija and I beautiful neck pieces with matching earrings as gifts to wear tonight.

“I feel like Cinderella.” Soraya smiled.

“You are going to steal the show on Xander’s arm tonight. I beamed at her.

Xander’s POV

Myself, Hector, Dorian and Joud waited downstairs for the ladies. Sasha and Sofija came down first, then Stacy and Soraya appeared at the top of the stairs. I couldn’t stop staring at her, she looked like a goddess, descending down the stairs. She was the most beautiful woman I’d ever seen. I couldn’t wait to show her off. I took her hand in mine.

“You look gorgeous, like a goddess.” I whispered and she blushed. I led her out to the car. Hector and Stacy would travel in the Rolls Royce with Soraya and I. Dorian, Joud and their spouses would follow in the other Rolls Royce.
