The Greek Billionaire’s Indecent Proposal
Chapter 36

Stacy’s POV

“Babe, we will replace her. I promise I will do everything in my power to replace her.” Hector held me in his arms while I cried. I couldn’t stop crying, I couldn’t stop thinking about what would happen to Soraya. The men wouldn’t give any more details about what was going on, they just kept saying they would replace her.

“What if they kill her before you get to her.” I said in between sobs. “What are we going to tell her parents? Who will tell them that she’s missing… Hector! Poor Kai, he can’t grow up without his mother.”

“Babe, you have to calm down my love. It’s not good for the baby. We will replace her.” He led me to the bed and pulled the covers away then sat me on the bed. “Take this, it will help you sleep. I had Dr Mariolis send it over for you.”

“I can’t sleep, not when I don’t know how my best friend is doing.” I sniffed as he wiped the tears of my face with both his thumbs. He cupped my face and looked at me with a serious face.

“Stacy, drink. There’s nothing you can do and I’m not going to let you sit here and overthink. You need to sleep.” He said sternly.

I took the pill then grabbed the glass of water on the side table. He kissed my forehead then lifted my feet so they were on the bed. “I love you baby.” He sighed and tucked the covers around me.

Hector’s POV

I sat down on the side of the bed rubbing Stacy’s back, waiting for her to fall asleep. I had no business promising that everything would be alright but I didn’t know what else to say to calm her down.

Her eyes slowly started to flutter then she was asleep. She was right about one thing, how were we going to tell Soraya’s parents that she was missing. I had a feeling that would not go down well. I got up and went to look for Xander.

He was in his office with Aunt Gaia. She stood next to his chair with her hand on his shoulder. He was hunched over on his chair, his hands covered his face as he leaned towards the table.

“Snap out of it Xander! Yes they were taken but we will do everything we can to get them back. We will replace them and make this Moretti piece of rubbish pay.

“Mother I need a moment to just get my head straight.”

“We have mobilised all the cousins, everyone is out there looking for her and on the lookout for Moretti.” I told her.

She nodded her head. “Son I know this feeling is all too familiar, but you can’t break down now. You need your head straight.” She pulled him up from the hunched position that he was in. “For Kai’s sake you need to stay strong.”

“Mother! Please! I just have a headache, I know that I need to stay calm and I am calm. Give me a moment to ride out this headache.” He snapped.

“Hector, call Helga and tell her to bring some aspirins and water.” She instructed, under normal circumstances she would have put Xander in his place for snapping at her but she was just as worried and understood where he was coming from.

“Before I do that aunt Gaia, we need to talk about Soraya’s parents, what are we going to tell them.” I asked cautiously.

“I think we should leave them out of the loop for now.” His mother said.

“No, we tell them the truth.” Xander said. He got up and walked towards the door. “I’m not going to lie to Soraya’s father.” He walked out of the office ignoring his mother’s disapproving sigh.

“Give him some time aunt Gaia, I know Xander. He is preparing. If he wasn’t, he would be raging and beating up everyone that got in his way.” She nodded when I said this.

Xander’s POV

I needed some silence to think and everyone kept interrupting me. I walked upstairs to the kid’s rooms. It was early morning so the kids would still be in bed.

As I walked into Kai’s room, I thought of Soraya sitting in the kids playroom laughing with the kids. I sighed heavily and went to sit on the edge of his bed. The bed dipped a little as I sat, he stirred and opened his eyes.

“Daddy…” he said groggily.

“Hey son, I didn’t mean to wake you up.”

“Are you back from the party? Where’s mommy? I forgot to tell her that she looked like a princess in her dress.” He sat up onthe bed and yawned.

A lump caught in my throat. “She’s not back yet son. As soon as she’s back you can tell her, okay?”

He nodded his head. “Mommy is the most beautiful, prettiest mommy in the whole world isn’t she daddy?” I smiled at him when he said this.

“There’s no one like her, she is son. Why don’t you get some more sleep, it’s still early.”

“Can you cuddle with me daddy?”

“Of course, scoot over champ.” I lay next to him and he snuggled his little body closer to my chest. I kissed his forehead and we lay like that until he fell right back to sleep.

A I got up to leave, my phone rang. It was my secretary from the California. I walked out of the kids room before I answered. “Mr Adamos, sorry to bother you but it’s an emergency. There’s a caller waiting in the other line. She wants to speak to you.”

“Put her through.” I instructed.

“I told you that you would regret what you did to me.” A voice so familiar spoke calmly.

“Leticia, you must be out of your f*****g mind if you think that Moretti will protect you from me. There is no place in the world to hide where I won’t replace you.” I said vehemently.

“Moretti is powerful, he managed to get through to your security and now your baby mama is missing. You probably won’t ever see her again… alive that is. This would have never happened if you hadn’t treated me like trash.”

“But you are trash Leticia.” I tried to master my most arrogant tone. “Moretti will see it too after a while and he will throw you out just like I did. That’s if I don’t kill him and you first.”

“Just shut up Xander! You arrogant bastard! You don’t know anything! You don’t even know that you have a traitor amongst your own people!

I went silent for a few seconds. “If you are talking about Eugene, he’s dead.”

“No no no, I’m not talking about him.” She laughed. “It’s someone within your own family. Before you can think of coming for me or Moretti, get your house in order.” She drawled then hung up.

A traitor? In my own family? There was no way. They knew what I was capable of, none of them would step up against me. As I walked back to my office, Hector was walking towards me with a glass of water and the aspirins.

“Get in here!” I ordered him.

“I’m going to ask you a question and if you lie to me Hector I swear to you I will kill you without thinking twice about it.

“What’s the matter?”

Deep down I knew Hector would never betray me but I had to ask.

“Do you want to be head of this family? Are you secretly plotting against me?” I asked him, slowly observing his reaction.

“What? What would make you think that?” He genuinely looked surprised.

“Someone in the family betrayed me and I want to know who it is.” I said.

“And you think it’s me? Why would I do that?! I have had your back since were kids.”

“I don’t know.” I shook my head. “I don’t know what to think. I have been wracking my brain all this time trying to figure out how they could penetrate our security! We are like the f*****g fortnox, those men on the road were ambushed because someone within gave away security information.”

“Relax, we will replace this person. I will personally eliminate him myself if that’s the case” I saw rage on his face and I knew there was no way it was him. He handed me the aspirin and glass of water.

“I want you to question Joud and Dorian. Find out who it is and bring them to me!”

He nodded his head then walked out of the office.
