The Greek Billionaire’s Indecent Proposal
Chapter 46

Soraya’s POV

——

“So when do we start?” I looked at Xander who was eyeing me with amusement on his face.

“In two days, you have something to look forward to.” He still looked at me like he was trying to gage what was going on in my head.

“Can you stop that?!” I snapped at him.

“Stop what?” He smiled slightly.

“Looking at me like you are trying to figure me out.” I frowned at him then walked up to him. He grabbed me by my waist and pulled me closer to him.

“I have already figured you out, I am just wondering how come it took me this long to see it.” His smile widened.

“To see what?” I looked at him curiously, biting my bottom l*p. My head tilted slightly to the side as I regarded his words.

He lifted my chin and lightly kissed my lips. He didn’t speak right away, he looked into my eyes then planted another k**s on me. “You are just like me, you are fire, a force to be reconned with Mrs Adamos. I thought I had to protect you from my world but you don’t need me to hover around you like you are a helpless little bird. You were meant to be my wife.”

I could feel my face turning red. “Let’s go home.” He said.

While we were in the car he closed the partition that divided the front and back of the car then pulled me up to his lap, my hands automatically went around his neck.

“We still have to talk you know.” He said as his hand massaged my back, kneading it as he slowly traced his fingers up and down.

“I told you, I don’t want to talk.” I said stubbornly and looked ahead.

“In order to do this, you have to clear your mind. We don’t go into the dungeons clinging on to our emotions. Nikolaj will sense that and play in your head.” He pointed out.

“Why don’t you talk about your emotions then?” I countered back.

“I have been doing this for years…All I care about is yours and Kai’s wellbeing. Soraya I know you are angry but I also know that you are hurting. You don’t have to pretend to stay strong around me. I want you to tell me that you are distraught. I heard you this morning in the shower…crying. Angel talk to me, don’t shut me out. Please.”

Tears ran down my face, I couldn’t stop them now. A sob that felt like it had been trapped in my chest for a long time escaped my lips and then another and another… and just like that I was crying, He pulled me into him so that I was laying on his chest.

“Sometimes I want to hate you Xander, before you, I never knew this life, I never thought of kidnappings and enemies and bodyguards and getting drugged. Part of me wants to blame you but I can’t. A part of me blames myself, if I had done what Nikolaj asked, I wouldn’t have been drugged, if I had told you that I was pregnant before the gala maybe you would have refused for us to go there. If I had listened to Stacy and actually taken my prenatals maybe the baby would have survived.” I sniffed and he took out his pocket square. He slowly dabbed it on my face.

“Keep going.” He encouraged me.

“I feel so guilty because in the beginning I didn’t want the baby, I felt like it was tying me more and more into your world like it was a trap but then when I was taken I feared not for my life but yours and my baby’s, I didn’t do enough to ensure it’s safety.” I finally said it. The guilt that gnawed at me, I loathed myself for even crying or feeling this pain because I didn’t deserve to grieve the loss. I held my chest as I continued to cry like my heart was constricted and taking a breath actually hurt.

“I want my baby back, I want her back so badly and I can’t have her back and for that I want to set them all on fire and watch them burn! I’m burning and it feels so unfair that I’m burning alone! I want them to hurt more than I’m hurting!”

“I know you do sweetheart, I am so sorry. All your feelings are valid. I don’t want you to hold back what you are feeling from me. I understand all of it.”

“I also feel selfish because you are hurting too, it’s your loss too.” I could see his eyes were glistening with unshed tears.

“I don’t care about how I’m feeling.” He said. “All I care about is you being okay. It’s my job to make sure that you are okay.” He looked into the distance. I calmed myself and took his hand and placed it on my chest.

“Xander your feelings are valid too, you must be angry that I didn’t tell you about the baby. You had to hear it from Stacy.” I pointed out.

“I was hurt that you didn’t tell me, but we were arguing then so I understood. I didn’t have time to be upset, I needed to make sure you returned home safely.” He kissed my forehead. “If I had lost you, I don’t think I would have survived this time around.” He held on to me and rocked me. Before I knew it my eyes were closing and I fell asleep.

Xander’s POV

———

As I lay Soraya on the bed she stirred. Her eyes opened and she pulled me to her. She placed her lips on mine gently and I returned her k**s.

“I want you.” She said sweetly. Her startling blue eyes looking at me like she was frightened that I’d leave her to lay on the bed alone. She kicked off her shoes and unbuttoned her jeans, slowly sliding them down her sensual shapely h**s. I was aroused instantly.

“Are you sure?” I asked her. I thought it might take time for her to want to be intimate since the loss of the baby. I didn’t want to rush her into anything.

She took my hand and guided it in between her legs, parting her thighs and trapping my hand in there.

“Touch me.” She whispered. “I want you to touch me down here.”

I’d never in my entire life met a woman that could make me lose control like Soraya.

“Make me feel better.” She m****d out. She wasn’t afraid to move my hands to any part of her body that required my attention, she used verbal and non verbal communication which turned me on. Her eyes looking into mine as my fingers rubbed above her lace thong, not moving it out of place. She looked so innocent yet she looked so naughty like she knew a secret and she was about to share it with me.

She took of her hoodie and all she had underneath it was a ruby red lace bra that matched her thong, it looked gorgeous against the colour of her skin.

I peeled the thong of slowly, allowing my fingers to rake her skin. My nails lightly clawing at it. She clutched hands full of the bed covers on her sides and arched her back, my hand found it’s way in between her thighs again sliding them all the way in between. I rubbed the top folds of her flower then my fingers slid in. She was already soaking wet, my own e******n pressed hard against my pants as I rubbed her clit, she whimpered.

I pushed in two fingers inside her and she gasped, lifting her bum up to let me know she wanted me to go further in. I chuckled lightly and leaned over her. I pushed my fingers further inside and worked them around. Her moaning made me g***n.

I had to give her her release first before I could get mine. My fingers moved in and out skilfully, rubbing her clit as I moved them. She cried out and her hands came to hold onto the front of my shirt.

“More, I want more.” She could barely speak as I worked. She wouldn’t stay still, her toes clenched and her eyes closed. Her breathing became laboured. She was close to her o****m. I moved faster and faster until she clenched her bum. As she was trying to catch her breath, I took of my own clothes and joined her on the bed. She unclipped her bra and pulled me so that I was on top of her.

“Tell me you love me…” she looked into my eyes like she really needed to hear it.

“I love you, Angel.” I placed k****s all over her face then kissed her on the mouth. She opened up to let my tongue in as her arms snaked around my neck. Her fingers raking through my hair.

I slowly entered her, I couldn’t contain myself as I began to thrust realising that I needed her as much as she needed me. She whimpered and held on tightly to me.

“I don’t want to be without you Angel, I love you, I need you.” I assured her over and over. She started to cry but she moved with me, our movement was in sync as she met my thrusts with her own.

Her moaning encouraging me to keep going until we both found our release. I lay next to her and pulled her into my arms.

“Don’t ever doubt my love for you.” I said into her ear and kissed her on top of her head. She tangled her legs to mine as I wiped her tears with my hands. A few moments later she was fast asleep, I allowed myself to fall asleep as I listened to her heartbeat.

Hector’s POV

———

“Xander this right here is crossing the line! You know it is!” I didn’t know how to react to what Dorian had told me over the phone this morning. Soraya didn’t need to be involved in any of our dirty dealings at all.

“Are you questioning me? He barked out at me. His presence was so large and threatening it made me feel like his office couldn’t contain it. He was sitting by his desk but he stood up as he said this, his expression so impassive.

“For the first time in my life, yes I am questioning you brother. We never ever let them see that side of us.” I was so frustrated trying to maintain the level of respect I had for him and still showing him how angry and serious I was. I had no delusions what so ever that Xander was stronger than I was physically but I wanted to punch him.

“She’s my wife, are you implying that I don’t know what’s good for her? You don’t know what it’s like to feel helpless Hector. You have no idea what it’s like to have your wife taken, heck you have never had your wife killed brutally.” He sat back down with a cold stare in his eyes. “Two children that I have lost…” he indicated with his fingers before he banged his fists on the table. “ and I can’t break down because I’m the head of this family but do you know what that loss does to me? If it wasn’t for me Soraya wouldn’t have gone through what she did. She needs this.”

“But Xander have you thought about how this will affect her in the future? We keep them far away from all this. What we do… it’s not for the faint hearted. I understand that she is traumatised but I can’t let you do this.” I tried to reason with him.

He laughed sarcastically. “Can’t? Hector this is not a family discussion or a business proposal, it’s between my wife and I. Can’t or won’t… it’s not up to you and you don’t know Soraya, stop comparing her to Stacy and Sasha. Now leave me! I need to work!”

I retreated from his office but I couldn’t help but punch his door as I walked out. I took the stairs two at a time as I went to replace Stacy.

She was getting dressed for the day, I needed to replace away to get Soraya not to go through with this. In reality we had all failed her, I felt just as guilty as Xander did because Soraya was family, like a sister to Stacy.

I understood Xander more than he thought I did, if Stacy was to be taken from me right now… pregnant and vulnerable, I would lose my mind. Xander had handled it better than any of us would have but I couldn’t in good conscience let Soraya go through with this.

Stacy watched me from the mirror with a frown on her face. “If I say you look tense, that would be an understatement.” She tried to joke.

“Babe, I need your help.” I said to her.

She turned around and walked towards me. “Okay but you have to calm down first baby.” Her arms went around my neck and she drew me in close to her for a k**s. I breathed in the scent of her perfume then my lips slowly went to her neck.

“I’m calm.” I said lowly.

“No you are not. This must be bad.” Stacy could always sense my moods and anticipate what it is I would need and how I would respond to it. She led me to the dressing chair and made me sit down then she straddled me.

“Stacy baby you will be upset too when I tell you what I need to tell you.” I said gruffly.

“It can wait, can’t it?” She whispered in my ear.

“I want to so badly baby but not now. Where is Soraya?” I asked her.

“She’s with her parents.” She looked at me in a confused way. “What’s going on?”

“Xander is going to let her torture her kidnappers.” I said to her. Stacy’s face paled.

“You need to convince her that its not a good idea because it’s not. There’s a reason why I never let you get involved with the business.” I continued.

“I will kill Xander! What is wrong with him?!”

“You need to be calm when you approach her Stace.”

“Calm my a*s! What is he trying to do? Traumatise her even further?!” She had a determined look on her face. “I will wait for her to return from her parents.”

Soraya’s’ POV

———

“I really am fine mom, this small bruise is barely visible.” My mom assessed my face thoroughly moving to my arms and my legs. I was wearing a short floral strapless summer dress. Gaia had come with me, she smiled at me but I could see the worry on her face as well as she sat by the kitchen counter with a cup of tea in front of her.

“Sweetheart you should be resting, your body has been through so much with the loss and the kidnapping.” My mom continued. “But you do know that this too shall pass right? I know it’s painful but I’m just glad that you are alive. I don’t know what I would have done if we had lost you.” Her eyes were brimming with tears as she caressed my face. We were standing in front of the counter, I hugged her tightly.

“Mom I promise I’m okay, I know that it will get better.” I smiled at her. I honestly didn’t want to talk about the miscarriage, I wasn’t ready to talk about it with anyone else.

My dad came into the kitchen as well and he held his arms up. I willingly went into them. “I’d rather let the cancer take me than die from losing you.” He said quietly.

“Daddy don’t speak like that, I am back home and I’m safe.” I smiled at him.

“I’m going to keep quiet for now but you and I and your husband have a lot to talk about okay?” He raised his brow.

The only thing I could do was nod. I knew exactly what he wanted to talk about. The fact that Xander was a Mafia boss.

We sat down and made small talk as Gaia and I finished our tea then I made an excuse to leave. They walked us out of the house and I gave them both hugs.

As Gaia and I took a stroll back to the house, she stopped walking, took my hands in hers and made me face her.

“I am so sorry that Sofija put you through this Soraya. I am not going to excuse what she did. When Xander brought you to Athens you became one of my children, I was embarrassed and heartbroken that she could do something like that.”

“Gaia I don’t want to talk about Sofija, I can’t say all the things you might want me to say because I can’t forgive her. Don’t make me talk about her.”

“I am not going to ask any of that, I love my daughter but she brought whatever punishment her brother has for her on herself. The thought of Xander losing you gave me sleepless nights. To have you standing right here next to me… it feels like a miracle after…” she couldn’t finish her sentence.

“After the outcome Hera had.” I finished it for her. “Gaia, how come there are no pictures of Hera in the house?”

“Xander had them all removed. He wanted them destroyed but I kept them in the family storage.”

“Why would he want them destroyed?” I asked quietly.

“As a mother it’s very hard to watch your son try to maintain control but see him driving down a slippery slope you know is going to kill him. Xander wanted to to end his own existence when Hera died, looking at her pictures and paintings, his drinking was excessive. The entire staff was terrified of him. He would rage after drinking, and completely lose it, breaking everything in sight. One day, a year after her passing… he told the housekeepers to destroy everything that belonged to her including the pictures and paintings.”

“So that’s basically what would have happened with me if I had not come back? Kai would have been forced to forget about me.” I asked a little shocked.

“I don’t think so, Xander is different with you. He loved Hera but I think you are his first love, his true love.”

“You don’t have to say that to make me feel good Gaia.”

“You should know me better than that child, I don’t say things I don’t mean.” She said sternly.

“How can you tell?” I asked her curiously.

“A mother always knows these things. You are a mother, you will notice when Kai starts dating.” She smiled at me with so much affection. “I am just glad he found the one that is meant for him. You are fated, that’s why you were given Kai, to bring you back to your fated.

We walked in silence for a while then she stopped and looked at me again. “What’s wrong Gaia?” I sighed.

“Like any other concerned mother, I have to ask. Dorian mentioned to Hector and myself that Xander took you to one of the warehouses. Soraya you need to grieve your loss my sweet girl. I don’t think revenge is the way to do it.” She looked sad.

“I wish everyone would stop telling me how to feel or what to do or how to do it and what not to do. I am fine.” I said in a low tone.

As I said this I noticed Stacy walking towards us.

“Exactly the person I’m looking for.” She said.

“Stop right there! I know what you are going to say. Stop it! All of you! I am grieving in my own way okay. I don’t want to talk about it and I don’t want to be told that I can’t cross a line. This is not Xander’s decision or yours Stacy or anybody’s for that matter. It’s mine!” I said angrily. “You wanted me to accept what the family does, you know what I have accepted that this is part of it, we torture our enemies and guess what! I can’t wait to torture mine! If this is leading me towards the dark then I totally embrace it!” I raised my hands up to gesture that I didn’t want them to follow me then I took of running towards the stables.
