The Greek Billionaire’s Indecent Proposal
Chapter 34

Soraya’s POV

I rushed into the open door of the Rolls Royce and asked the chauffeur to close the door and take me home.

“What about Master Xander, is he not coming with us Madam?”

“No he’s not, send for another car for him and Hector, talk to Simon. Let’s go Cassius.” I said impatiently.

“Yes ma’am.” He closed the door and went to the driver’s side.

Sitting through that entire gala had been a amazing at first but I could feel my mood changing as the smells of the food began to make my stomach churn. Watching that desperate brunette bimbo wrap herself around Xander, I wanted to claw at her. It took all of me to remain calm but when Xander didn’t distance himself from her it made me even more mad. I took a deep breath and tried not to cry, I had done too much crying. I had tried to fix my make up in the bathroom but realised I didn’t want to go back in there and pretend to play happy family while he disrespected me.

As the car was about to pull off, there was a knock on the driver’s window and he rolled it down. It was Sofija, gosh what did the b***h want.

“Open the door Cassius, I will be riding with you. My husband and brother will ride back together.” She drooled and smiled.

He came out of the car and opened the back door to let her in, she slid in and draped herself on the seat like a cat. The spill on her dress had disappeared.

“Poor poor Soraya, I remember vividly telling you my brother liked models, don’t you remember?”

“Sofija I really am not in the mood. I want to ride back home in peace.” I said to her.

“But where would be the fun in all that for me?.” She drawled.

I pretended to zone out and just looked out the window as we drove. She kept talking and laughing and it was starting to get to me. The partition was down so I could see our security detail in front of us slow down, it looked like we were approaching an intersection, there wasn’t a lot of traffic but the traffic lights were not working and there seemed to be a roadblock, cars were being diverted.

Cassius rolled down the window to speak to one of the men with a sign that was diverting cars to turn back. The man smiled at Cassius and greeted him in Macedonian but before I knew it gun shots were being fired at the security detail in front of us then the man outside our car pulled out a gun from behind him and fired two shots quickly as Cassius tried to close the window, there shots were not a loud bang, they sounded so swift as the bullets flew out of the gun like a sharp bullwhip crackling. Cassius went silent and his body sagged on the seat. My body went numb as I gasped, the man looked at me and smiled, he looked familiar, he was the waiter from the gala dinner. He opened the door and pushed Cassius out of the car then took his place. Sofija who had been in a shocked state began to scream right next to me, the man turned around and looked at us, I was frozen to the spot not sure how to react as Sofija began trying to bargain with the man.

“Whoever you are, whatever you want we have money we can pay. Don’t hurt us.” She stammered. He pulled out what looked like a tranquilliser dart gun and fired at Sofija who screamed then turned the gun to me and fired, everything started to get very blurry, suddenly I couldn’t hear Sofija screaming anymore. Just gunshots outside the car as the car took off and a very loud explosion. I thought of Xander and what this would do to him then all of a sudden a deep darkness consumed me.

Xander’s POV

I guess I did deserve the slap I received from Soraya, my actions definitely earned me her outburst . I watched her walk out of the lobby and walk into the car. I wanted to go after her but it was better to let her go than try and talk to her here were there would be many eyes and ears, I would talk to her at the house, there was no way that I would let her go to back to Phoenix.

Soraya didn’t believe that I loved her, how could she not? I combed my brain trying to remember if I had ever said the words out aloud or never like she had just accused me of not doing it.

“Ever since Hera had died, I hadn’t expressed any kind of love to any woman, my relationships were purely for a s****l need so there was no need to say any of that to the women. I had spend time with Soraya to show her that I really loved her and wanted to be with her. I guess the fact that I’d never expressed into words how I felt about her coupled with the attention from other women, she was justified in feeling that way.

I sighed. ‘There you go blowing it again Xander.’ I chastised myself.

“Where is Soraya?” Stacy and Hector approached me.

“She just left to go back home.” I informed them.

“Xander you are a jerk you know that! That woman is going through hell trying to figure you out and you don’t make it easy for her! Every time a woman goes near you she is taken back to the day you rejected her at the hotel and left with another woman..,Gosh she is stressed and the pregnancy hormones are not helping…” Stacy bit her lower l*p and kept quiet.

“What do you mean pregnancy hormones Stacy?” My heart leapt.

“Gosh she’s going to kill me but you need to know this! She’s pregnant and you are going to endanger the baby if you keep upsetting her.”

Everything made sense now, how could I have missed it. Her moods were similar to Hera’s when she had been pregnant, she wasn’t eating we’ll probably because she had morning sickness, she wasn’t drinking alcohol. I sighed. “We need to go back home.” I said to them.

“You need to stop with these women. She thinks you are sleeping with them.” Stacy continued to set me straight.

“I am not, I have to talk to her.” We walked out and waited. Soraya had left with the first car. We only had one more. “Joud and Dorian can stay behind and wait for another car. Are you coming with me?” I asked Hector and Stacy.

“Of course.” They said as the second driver pulled up. We got into the car and it pulled off. Hector informed Joud and Dorian over the phone that they would have to wait for another car.

“I’m going to call her.” Stacy said as she took out her phone. “Aargh it just rings and rings. She looked frustrated.

Hector’s phone began to ring then mine rang as well. We both answered then we looked at each other. “What do you mean there was a security breach.” I yelled over the phone. I listened to Simon speaking then my entire body went cold. “Simon you better be joking because I will kill you! Where is my wife?!” I could feel myself shaking uncontrollably.

“What was the GPS’s last location?” Anger and fear coursed through me, I could feel myself breathing heavily as I tried to remain calm.

“Get to the place Simon! Find her! I’m on my way!” I hung up the call.

“What’s going on?” Stacy looked panicked. “Is Soraya okay? Please tell me she’s okay.” Tears started to form in her eyes.

I couldn’t speak, I yelled some instructions at the driver and told him to drive fast.

“Soraya has been kidnapped.” Hector informed Stacy and she went white in the face.

“No, no no no!” She screamed and began to cry. “It can’t be.”

Hector pulled her into his arms and began to comfort his wife. That made me rage even more because I had let my wife get into a car by herself and now she was taken. I silently sent up a prayer. ‘Don’t let them take her away from me. I won’t survive this. Please God.”

Finally we got the place where the last location of the car had pinged, it was a dark alley way. The GPS was destroyed and the car doors were opened wide but there was no Soraya. The driver’s area had b***d on the seat. I couldn’t take anymore. I fell to my knees. This was my fault, I failed her just like I had failed Hera.
