The Greek Billionaire’s Indecent Proposal
Chapter 38

Soraya’s POV

I breathed in and out trying to control the rage that was taking over. All I could see was red. I flew across the room and grabbed Sofija. She shrieked and tried to get away but I got a chunk full of her hair.

The waiter didn’t move a muscle as I proceeded to slap her face and tug at her hair. She screamed over and over.

“Soraya stop, you are hurting me stop.”

“I haven’t even began to cause you pain you selfish pathetic b***h! What kind of a sister are you! You would do this to your own brother!” Tears started to run down my face. I shoved her and she fell on the ground. “You are sick! You are going to be saved a place in the lowest parts of hell where you will spend all of eternity burning!” I glared at her.

“He tricked me! This was meant to be something small.” She sobbed. “I paid him to kidnap you but not to kill you, it was just to rough you up a bit and scare you enough to want to leave Greece for good but he tricked me!” She pointed at him. “You bastard!”

He looked at her in amusement. “It’s not like it’s the lesser of two evils.” He laughed. “You still did it.”

I swear to you Sofija if Xander doesn’t kill you himself, I will. But first I want him to know the kind of sister he has. One that is willing to let him experience the same trauma that almost broke him.” I growled at her. “What is so terrible about me that you had to put him through this? You would want Xander to never ever raise his son? Do you know how much joy that brings him? I didn’t even want to marry your brother, he threatened me into marrying him. So guess what! Im not here by bloody choice! I wonder what your precious Hera would think about your actions!” I spat at her and flew at her again.

I kicked and punched and pummelled her as she screamed in agony. She was wailing and apologising. Trying to get free as I held on tightly. The waiter came behind me and grabbed both my arms to pull me off her. He laughed out loud as he did this.

“Now now cupcake, as much as this is very entertaining to watch… I can’t let you continue. It’s not your job to beat and torture people.” I tried to shrug him off me but he dragged me to my side of the bed. “I might actually have to move you to another room or you will kill her.

“I won’t kill her, my husband will.” I clenched my teeth as I glared at her. She looked away quickly.

“Your husband won’t be in any position to kill her. Tell you what, I will take the responsibility of torturing her myself.” He glowered at Sofija and she shook her head in fear. Tears streaming down her now red face from the beating I’d given her.

“Be a good girl now and stay in your corner, I will bring you those clothes.” He chuckled and walked away. “Feisty.” He said as he walked out.

Sofija looked at me as she shifted herself to the corner near her side table. She fell to the floor. She kept quiet, raising her knees to her chest and hiding her face.

Xander’s POV

“What’s going on here?” I demanded as I walked in.

“Joud knows something about the leak.” Hector said.

“Well spit it out! I haven’t got all f*****g day!” I said angrily as he stood there eyeing me.

“I’m not sure Xander but I think Sofija did it.” He said as his eyes teared up.

“What?! Are you f*****g joking?! I don’t have time for this Joud. You are going to blame this on my sister?! Joud! You better watch yourself.” I roared at him.

“A little over a week ago, I was yelling at for giving Soraya a hard time and warned her to stop. She made a statement that concerned me and I swear I thought I had put her in her place. I didn’t think she was capable of this.” his voice was breaking as he said this.

“I’m not telling you this to save myself Xander, it’s my responsibility to keep my wife in line and to make sure that my she doesn’t get ahold of any of the things we discuss and I failed you. I will take my punishment.”

“What do you mean she made a statement.” I asked quietly.

“She talked about how if you didn’t have an heir then by default our children would be next in line, I thought she would stop after I warned her and threatened her.” But the night of the gala before we left, I came into the office and some things on my table had been moved around. I’d gone out for five minutes, the only thing that lingered in that office was Sofija’s perfume. I didn’t think anything of it until you said Soraya was kidnapped. Then when we found out Sofija was also missing I started to think maybe that wasn’t the case but I can’t help but think she did something.” He finished off.

“And you are only telling me this now?” I found myself punching him. He staggered backwards but steadied himself like he was waiting for me to hit him again.

“Get out of my sight Joud, now!” He walked out.

“I’ll kill her Hector, I am going to kill Sofija!”

“You can’t kill her, she’s family. There are other ways of punishing her. And besides we have to verify what Joud said first. Maybe she didn’t do it.

Stacy’s POV

I trudged up the stairs with a tray of food to the guest bedroom that Soraya’s parents had been moved into inside the house. Soraya’s father seemed to be handling the situation way better than her mom. Mrs Eaton had been kept in bed and sedated usually after her meals ever since she had been told that her daughter was missing.

It had been two days now since then. “Hi Mr Eaton.” I greeted quietly as I entered the bedroom. “I brought you some breakfast, you should eat something.”

“Stacy, you shouldn’t have. Are you taking good care of yourself, you also have a little one to worry about.” He smiled at me. I placed the tray on the bedroom coffee table set.

“It’s okay, I needed to get out of bed and besides, you and Mrs Eaton are like parents to me. I grew up in your house when my parents were away working all the time.” I shrugged and placed a cup of tea in front of him. “Xander will replace her you know. He loves her.” I said quietly.

“I know he does sweetheart.” He sighed. “I wish that him and Soraya had been up front with us from the beginning about all of the family’s dealings.”

“Would you have disapproved of their marriage?” I asked him.

“No, I don’t know Stacy. Soraya has always loved him. Even when she wasn’t with him. I could tell that she wanted to be with the father of her child but I could also tell that he had broken her heart.” He explained. “So when she came home that day and introduced him to us, when I spoke to him, I could see that he loved her too.”

“He tried looking for her you know, when I came to you to ask for Soraya’s whereabouts in New York, that was for him.” I smiled as I thought about it.

“I found out a few days after we got here that the Adamos family is a mafia organisation.” He said.

“Most of their businesses are legit, just maybe like thirty percent of it is organised crime.” I tried to defend them. “And they don’t sell drugs or hurt women or anything like that.”

“Stacy sweetheart, crime is crime. There is no lesser evil.” The only reason why my wife and I are still here is because Soraya seems to have accepted what Xander does. I could care less about the treatment that he has managed to get for me. All I care about is my daughter and my grandson.”

I got up and went to hug him. “I understand why Soraya has accepted, it’s the same reason I have.”

He kissed my forehead. “Sit down and have some tea with me.” He smiled.

Soraya’s POV

It had been two days since we came here. We had seen less of the waiter guy since he had brought us a change of clothes. A pair of female track pants, a t shirt and slippers. The lady that brought us food had also brought toothbrushes, wash cloths and soap for us.

Sofija looked like a mess, her face was still bruised and batterd. I wasn’t proud about it at all even though she deserved it. She was to frightened to sleep on the bed with me so she stayed on the floor. I threw a blanket on to her seeing that there were two in the bed. I told her she wasn’t going to freeze to death until she got what was coming to her.

When food was brought to us, she would stare at it and pick at it before actually eating it. She looked really despaired. At night I would hear here crying for Joud.

I sat on the bed thinking about my parents and whether Xander would tell them about the kidnapping. I wondered how they would take it. This brought tears to my eyes. I thought about Kai and wondered if he was asking for me, I missed cuddling his little body and just the smell of him.

I wanted Xander to hold me in his arms as I slept I wondered if anyone had told him that I was pregnant, how would he feel about it. ‘Don’t lose hope Xander, stay strong. I know you will replace me.’ I whispered to myself.

There was a sound that indicated that the door was being unlocked, then it opened. The waiter walked in and behind him was a man. He walked forward and looked at Sofija who was so resigned to her state that she didn’t even look up at him. He shook his head then he turned around to look at me. I looked him dead in the eyes. This was him, the man that was in charge.
