The Greek Billionaire’s Indecent Proposal
Chapter 43

Xander’s POV

“Get a doctor to meet us by the chopper now! Soraya doesn’t look too good. She’s hyperventilating.” I instructed Dorian.

“We also need him too look at your shoulder, I don’t see an exit wound from the gun shot and you wouldn’t let Dorian wrap it up.” Hector looked at me.

“I am fine. I don’t care about me, I have to make sure she’s okay.” I remarked as I covered her with my arms. She looked like she was freezing. “I think her b***d pressure has dropped, I can barely get a pulse. You have to hang in there for a little longer baby, you are safe now my angel.” I whispered in her ear and kissed her forehead.

We got to the chopper where a team of doctors were waiting.

“She’s pregnant and she’s been drugged, I’m not sure what it is that they gave to her.” I told one of them.

“We are going to give her Naloxone to counter act whatever might have been given to her then in an hour we will have to flush out her system using IV therapy.” He explained thoroughly as he moved his stethoscope on her chest and also checked the reading of her BP on a little machine that the nurse provided. “Her b***d pressure has dropped significantly but the IV should help with that. Unfortunately there is no way of checking right now if the baby was affected by the drugs but let’s be hopeful.”

“Can you take a look at his shoulder?” Hector asked, as he spoke my vision became blurry. We were boarding the chopper now.

“Mr Adamos are you okay?” The doctor asked. It felt like he’s voice was coming from so far away. I tried to steady my eyes but I found myself collapsing to the ground.

Hector’s POV.

“f**k! he’s lost a lot of b***d.”

“We don’t have any b***d supply.” The doctor said.

You can use a drip to do a transfusion right? I have the same b***d type as him. Get the b***d from me.” I instructed the doctor.

“Sofia is not looking good as well.” Dorian yelled over the sound of the blades of the chopper. “She has internal injuries.”

“The medical team is coming with us. Let’s get going.” I responded.

Within two and a half hours we were back in Athens, rushing everyone to the hospital.

The rest of our team took our prisoners to the warehouse.

They had managed to get the bullet out of Xander, he was stable. Soraya’s b***d pressure improved even though she was still unconscious.

Sofija was rushed into into surgery, they needed to stop her internal bleeding.

I watched the hospital staff scrambling to make sure that the Adamos family were comfortable. After all my family was one of the biggest donors at this private hospital.

Soraya’s POV

Opening my eyes felt like I just woke up from a deep slumber, I could hear sounds of machines beeping and lightly buzzing around me.

I was in a hospital, did this mean that Xander had found me? There was no way that Moretti would send me to a hospital, the last thing I remembered was Nikolaj drugging me. I turned my head around trying to look around the large room, I was alone. IV needle stuck inside my arm and all these other machines that were monitoring my heart rate and BP. My mouth felt very dry and I wanted to sit up but I felt like everything was in the way.

I started pulling at the cables as a wave of nausea hit me. The machines started to beep loudly as I heaved. A nurse ran into the room followed by a doctor.

“Mrs Adamos you are awake.” The doctor said.

“She’s going to be sick.” The nurse grabbed the empty bin that sat next to the bed and handed it to me. I threw up continuously until there was nothing to throw up while she held back my hair. As I lifted my head, she put the bin on the floor then slowly guided me out of the bed.

“She held up the IV bag and walked beside me. I rinsed my mouth by the basin then stood up straight to look in the mirror. I looked so pale and I had actually lost weight from all the throwing up, the hospital dressing gown I had on looked too big. My hands instinctively went to caress my lower belly.

“Am I still pregnant?” I asked the nurse.

“The doctor should be able to give you all the answers. Come let’s go back and I will get maintenance to come and clean up.”

“Mrs Adamos, how are you feeling?” The doctor asked.

“Am I still pregnant?” I asked him not bothering to answer his question.

“Yes you are, we have been clearing the toxins out of your body, there’s no way of knowing right now how the drugs have affected the fetus. The fetus is highly vulnerable to birth defects between third week and eighth week after fertilization; which is the period of organogenesis. I will make an appointment with the OBGYN in a few weeks time and we’ll take it from there.” He said.

“Where’s my husband.” I asked gingerly. I found it very strange that he was not sitting in my room.

“Mrs Adamos, I think you should return to bed…” he started but didn’t get to finish his sentence as I glared at him.

“I’m not in the mood for this, answer me?”

“Yes ma’am, he is in the next room, your husband came in with a gun shot wound, he’s recuperating.”

The shock made me feel like the ground was moving, I turned to the nurse and grabbed the IV bag out of her hand and I quickly walked out of the door.

I could hear the doctor and nurse following right behind me as I walked. I looked through the glass of the door of the room to my right and I saw him laying on the bed with Hector sitting on a chair by his side.

I slowly opened the door and walked in. Hector looked up.

“Raya, you are up.” He smiled and got up to walk towards me. He hugged me and kissed me on both cheeks. Tears started to run down my face.

“Don’t worry love, he’s okay. This is the first time he’s actually slept since you were taken. He’s had a b***d transfusion and he’s really okay.” Hector smiled.

He pulled me into his arms again. “Stacy will be so happy to see you, she’s not been herself at all. I’m so glad you are okay.”

“Thank you Hector.” I couldn’t help but cry, he led me to the chair he’d been sitting on.

“You both have been out since yesterday evening but he should be waking up soon. I’ll leave you with him.” He said.

“Where’s Sofija?” I asked him.

“ICU, I doubt you remember but she fought Moretti, he had a knife on you and she put herself between you and him.” He looked sad, I just nodded then turned my head to look at Xander. Hector walked out, closing the door behind him. I didn’t want to think about Sofija right now.

Xander lay there so peacefully. I caressed his jawline. Then I got up to place k****s on his face. When I was kidnapped I had refused to let my mind think of my last fight with Xander, I didn’t want it to be the last thing I ever carried with me if I didn’t see him again even though I had been hopeful.

Sitting right here next to him, I felt like that argument felt so futile right now. Considering the fact that this man had risked his own life to go looking for me. I loved him so much, I didn’t know if what he felt for me was love but I was choosing to believe that his actions these past few days were out of love.

I lay my head on the side of the bed and caressed his arm.

“Why are you crying angel.” A gruff voice shocked me. I looked up and his eyes were opened.

“Xander?” My eyes clouded with tears again.

“Hey, no tears..” he gently scowled at me. I couldn’t help but start crying. His one hand took my arm and he gently gestured for me to get on the bed.

“I don’t want to hurt you.” I sobbed.

“I need you.” He looked at me. He scooted over and I lay next to him.

“Why are you crying?” He asked.

“Because I’m so relieved that it’s all over but you are hurt because of me.”

“You look like Kai when you cry.” He chuckled then he coughed and winced in pain. “I guess that serves me right for cracking jokes.

I wrapped my hand around his abdomen which made him sigh.

“Don’t ever let go.” He said.

“Never.” I whispered.

“You promise?” He planted a k**s on the top of me head. “I love you Soraya, God help me I always have.” He said hoarsely.

I raised my head to look at him and he smiled. “As much as we argue, I know you love me too. We were both too stubborn to say it but I’m saying it now. I love you Angel.”

He pulled me to him tightly. “I love you too Xander. All the fear that I felt for the past few days just melted away, I felt safe in his arms as I allowed myself to be held by him.

“I love you too.” I said again. We stayed like that until a nurse came bustling in, she saw he was awake and she walked out and came back with a doctor, I unwillingly pulled myself away from him.

“Mr Adamos, how are you feeling?” The doctor smiled at him.

“Like I am ready to go home, I would like to take my wife home today.” He smiled at me.

“I think it would be best if you stayed one more night for observations…” The doctor spoke but he quickly stopped when Xander looked at him with a little annoyance on his face.

“We can have a medical team come to your house to monitor you there.” The doctor said nervously.

“Now leave us please, don’t disturb us.” He said to them and they walked out.

“Did you just bully a whole hospital doctor?” I laughed.

He coughed as he chuckled. I got up to pour him a glass of water then helped him to sit up. He took small sips. “He rudely interrupted us. I want to be alone with you.”

I got on top of the bed, trying to be careful not to disturb the IV’s and cables. I straddled him and he smiled.

“Mrs Adamos, I think I might need a new term of endearment for you. Angels don’t try to solicit s*x from patients in a hospital ward.”

I giggled naughtily as I leaned towards him to k**s him.

“I told you to call me fallen Angel.” I laughed. I could feel my cheeks warming up. I kissed him again and he smiled into the k**s.

“Temptress! Hmmmm. I definitely want to take you home right now.” He growled softly.

“What happened to a little spontaneity… I could just lock the door.” I volunteered and he threw his head back and laughed.

I put my hands around his neck. “I missed your laugh.” I looked into his eyes.

I heard the door open and Hector clear his throat.

“Well, it’s nice to know that you are both feeling better.” We turned to look at him, he had a goofy smile on his face that made the both of us laugh.

“There are some people here to see you both, you should probably look decent.” He grinned. “That means back to your places children. Soraya chair, Xander stay on the bed.” He ordered us.

“I thought I was the one that gave the orders.” Xander scowled at him.

“You are on sick leave and I so happen to be the deputy. I will be right back.” He said as I got off the bed and sat on the chair.

When he came back, he had Ajana on his arm, Kai and Jovan ran into the room pushing right from behind with Stacy following.

“Mommy!” Kai smiled and jumped on me. “You can’t go away again.” His hands snaked around my arm and he hugged me tightly. My arms went around his little body and I held on to him tightly. Jovan and Ajana came closer and I placed Kai on the floor to hug them too.

“Is my mommy here also…?” Ajana shyly asked and I looked up at Hector then Xander.
