The Greek Billionaire’s Indecent Proposal
Chapter 55

Soraya’s POV

After my shower, Stacy and I walked to the kids rooms to check on them. All three of them were huddled up in Kai’s bed with Ajana in the middle facing the ceiling and the boys had their arms around her like they were protecting her.

“She’s a very lucky girl.” Stacy smiled.

“Two brothers to protect her and keep her safe.”

“You should have seen how she went after Michail when he grabbed Kai, she bit into him twice.” I laughed quietly while I looked at her beautiful little face. “These kids are brave little fighters.”

“I guess it runs in the family then.” Stacy cradled her stomach.

“They are going to need a lot a therapy, this should not be a norm for children at all.” I pointed out.

I walked towards the bed and tucked the sheets around them and kissed them each on the forehead then we walked out.

We walked down to the kitchen to make something hot to drink and found Gaia and my dad sitting there having some coffee. I was surprised to see them sitting there, I knew my parents were sleeping in the house today for security reasons.

“Couldn’t sleep as well?” Gaia smiled at us.

“I’m worried about Xander, I want to wait for him.” I smiled at her.

My dad got up and poured Stacy and I some hot cocoa and cream, I could smell that it was his own home made recipe. It made me smile.

“Don’t worry about Xander my sweet girl, he might have a difficult decision to make but as head of the family he is prepared for it.” Gaia cupped my face and kissed my forehead.

We sat down by the kitchen island and sipped on the hot drinks. It was quiet for a few minutes, I guess everyone was trapped in their own mind. My father cleared his throat and looked at me. “Your mother took something to help her sleep. I was just talking to Gaia about all this, trying to understand everything.” He said with a serious face. My stomach churned, I really didn’t want to argue with him at all.

“All that has happened, all that happening has been hard for me to process Soraya honey. One of the reasons is that I would have preferred all these explanations to come from both you and Xander.” He spoke slowly, his tone was gentle.

“I know Daddy and I am so sorry, please don’t blame Xander. I should have been honest from the beginning, he wanted to to tell you.” I put my hand on his arm. He covered it with his other hand.

“I won’t press you about any of it because I see that you love Xander and you have accepted all this as apart of your life. I worry about Kai because he is Xander’s son meaning he has to follow in his father’s footsteps but then again you are his parent’s, we have no say as his grandparents.”

I didn’t know what to say, I definitely didn’t want this for my son. Especially after seeing the look on Xander’s face today. It scared me, how did I say this to Xander without making him feel like I was against him.

“Dad, Kai will have a choice. I will make sure if it.” I said but part of me wasn’t sure if I could assure that.

There was silence again for a while then I looked at my dad. “Do you want to go back to Phoenix?” Tears started to fill my eyes.

He regarded my question for a while then he got up and walked towards me, pulling me into his arms. “There’s nothing for us in Phoenix sweetheart, you are here and Kai is here. Your mother will never agree to that.” He chuckled. “So I guess I’m accepting this too.”

“I’m sorry for taking away your choice Daddy.” I couldn’t help but cry.

“I am your father, I will do anything for you.” He smiled at me, there was so much love in his eyes.

Gaia and Stacy both looked at us and smiled.

We talked about the events of the day and I told them about the Ajana and Kai fighting back today. I suggested that the kids would need some therapy and Gaia agreed. After one more round of cocoa, my dad and Gaia went to bed.

I could tell Stacy wanted to go to bed, she looked so exhausted but didn’t want to leave me sitting alone waiting. I walked her upstairs and lay with her in bed until she fell asleep then I walked back downstairs. I Sat on the couch in one of the living rooms, John brought me a throw and another mug of cocoa.

At around 3am, Xander and Hector and Dorian walked in. I got up and ran towards the hallway. They were all startled when they saw me, I just ran up to Xander and threw my hands around him. His arms went around me and he picked me up and nuzzled my neck.

“I couldn’t sleep without you.” I whispered.

He began to walk towards the stairs, guiding my legs to go around him. He got to our bedroom and closed the door then walked to the bathroom, I had already showered but I didn’t mind showering again with him.

We didn’t speak at all as I undressed him, his eyes were on me the entire time as I assessed his body, looking at the bruises he had gotten from today. I kissed each and everyone of them then I took of my clothes too. I led him to the shower and soaped his body slowly then let the water cascade on the both of us as I wrapped my arms around his abdomen and lay my head on his chest.

His heartbeat was steady, the frown that had been on his face was now gone. He took deep breaths and put his arms around me.

“I don’t deserve you Soraya.” He said quietly. “A blessing that I never thought I would get.”

I put my finger on his lips. “There’s no place I want to be at, I belong here with you.”

We dried off then we went straight to bed. He pulled me up to him and I tangled my legs to his. Before I knew it, sleep took me.

Xander’s POV

What I had done today was bound to haunt me for a long time, I didn’t want this kind of life for my son at all but this was the only way to keep them all safe. Even if I were to stop my illegal businesses, someone would come for me because I was a big mark.

Coming home to Soraya, she didn’t know how much I needed that. She had waited for me and said the right words. She needed me, when she told me she couldn’t sleep without me, it brought me out of the dark place I had been in, the dark place I had needed to go to in order to do what I need to do. She didn’t hate me for it or judge me for it, she ran up to me and embraced me.

I watched her sleeping for a while, making sure to tuck the bed covers around her tightly then I woke up and got dressed. I walked to the kids rooms to check on them. I smiled when I saw them all sleeping on one bed, I was proud of what they did today, fierce little warriors that protected one another. After a few moments I walked downstairs, Hector was sitting with Dorian in the kitchen.

“Soraya is one special woman.” Hector smiled. “She anticipated that you would need her when you came in.”

Dorian smiled a goofy smile. “Someone up there is definitely looking out for you.” He joked. He poured me a whiskey and slid the glass to me.

“I won’t be staying long, I just wanted to check that you were both fine.” I said to them.

Hector smiled. “We are good, you know we have your back always.” He walked up to me and hugged me, patting my back.

“Would the two of you like some privacy.” Dorian joked and we laughed. “On a serious note though, we got you bro.”

“Don’t drink too much, it’s almost morning. You know our mothers will expect you both to come down for breakfast.

I hugged Dorian too then walked back up to the bedroom. Soraya was still sleeping peacefully.

Soraya’s POV

Waking up in Xander’s arms made me feel like nothing else in the world mattered. I watched him sleep peacefully, his breathing steady. His breathing changed and he smiled with his eyes still closed.

“Why are you stalking me woman? My wife won’t like it at all, she’s a very possessive Lady you know.” He joked, his voice was deep and sexy and he still sounded sleepy.

“I don’t think she would mind me being the other woman just for a little while.” I giggled.

“Like what you see?” His smile became naughty as he opened his eyes.

“I love what I see.” I laughed and leaned in to k**s him.

“My mother will kill us if we are late for breakfast, she will expect us to all be downstairs.” He g*****d as I moved my hands down his abdomen.

“Do you want the breakfast downstairs or this breakfast right here?” I took his hand and moved it in between my thighs.

“Hmmmm, i will never say no to breakfast in bed..” Our mouths collided and his hands started to caress my naked skin but then the door burst open and the kids ran into our room. It’s a good thing we were under the bed covers.

“Good morning.” They all chorused at the same time.

“What happened to knocking before you come in.” I said a little disappointed. “You didn’t lock the door last night.” I whispered to Xander.

“My bad.” He laughed as the kids got up on the bed. Kai got on top of Xander and plonked himself on his abdomen.

“Giagiá asked us to come and wake you up.” Jovan smiled. Both him and Ajana jumped up on the bed too.

“Giagiá needs to give us an extra ten minutes.” Xander said.

“That doesn’t leave enough time for us to shower.” I said and Xander roared out in laughter.

“Temptress!”

“What’s a temmatres?” Ajana asked innocently.

“Geeez I don’t know honey, I think uncle Xander should explain this one.” He laughed out loud again.

“Giagiá said we have to make sure you wake up now.” Kai assumed a responsible tone, taking his task seriously.

“Okay, we will be down in five minutes, tell Giagiá that we are coming.”

As the kids walked out of the room leaving the door open, Xander and I both looked at each other and cracked up.
