The Greek Billionaire’s Indecent Proposal
Chapter 57

Soraya’s POV

“Ready babe?” Xander called out to me from the bedroom, I was in the dressing room fixing up my hair just before we left for work. To say I was excited was probably an understatement, I hadn’t been working at all since I had resigned at the law firm and to think that I was going to be learning knew skills while watching my husband at work made me giddy.

“I’m ready.” I said as I gave myself a once over by the full length mirror.

I wanted to look like a boss lady so I decided to dress with intention. I didn’t want anyone thinking I was just Xander’s little wife. I had on a Versace black double-breasted tailored blazer with a pantsuit wide leg trousers and black safety pin high heel sandals. Thanks to Stacy’s DIY hair rescue methods the night before, my honey blonde curls were glowing as they cascaded down my back. The last time I’d given professional attention to my hair was the night of the gala.

It was a good thing that every two weeks Stacy always insisted we get a nail treatment from home so my matte black nails with a beautiful gold design were sorted.

I walked out of the bedroom to replace Xander fixing his tie, he had on a black Tom Ford suit. He looked up and smiled when he saw me, his dimples more pronounced as they dented his cheeks.

“Hmmmm, Mrs Adamos I think you are gunning for my position.” He joked. “You look like the head of an organisation Angel.”

“Maybe I am…” I winked at him making him chuckle as he walked up to me. His hands went on my waist and he pulled me closer to him.

“I wouldn’t mind taking orders from you at all my Dona.” He nuzzled my forehead then kissed me gently.

“Well then first order of the day is, total world domination, let’s take over the world.” My hands snaked around his neck and I deepened the k**s.

“Let’s go get em babe.” He said when he pulled away for some breath, his eyes were still closed. “If we don’t leave now, that gorgeous power suit is going to be on the floor in the next minute or so.”

I giggled as he took my hand and led me out of the room.

The driver opened the door to the Rolls-Royce Phantom and Xander helped me in before he went around to the other side. As soon as the car started moving, he instructed the driver to roll up the partition.

“Okay so I just thought I should brief you, AE is a Private limited company and at first when it was started my forefathers used the business to front their illegal arms dealing business. They started out with real estate in Greece and a few European countries before venturing out to parts of North and South America as well as Asia.”

That’s really huge….” I listened attentively.

“They made a lot of money and they needed to replace more ways to to launder the money hence the clubs and the banks. We also have shares in mining companies and drug companies.” He looked like he was trying to maintain the balance between being my husband but also explain all this to me as my boss.

“So you don’t traffic humans or sell illegal drugs?” I asked with a serious look on my face. He chuckled slowly and took my hand into his, kissing the back of it and caressing it.

“No my love, we don’t. My Grandfather was the one who managed to legitimise our manufactured weapons and ammunition business, selling to governments and states for military use but we also do get certain clientele that can not acquire some of our products legally and prefer to use back channels. We don’t refuse them because they are our allies, that’s how we build relationships with very dangerous important people who have sway with governments, certain legislations that can help us in the long run.

Clearly there’s a lot that I need to learn. I hoped I didn’t look overwhelmed already.

“I’m going to start you of slowly because I don’t want to scare you off. Remember you have a choice, I don’t mind you sitting at home like Stacy and Sasha and just handling our philanthropy portfolios, we do corporate social responsibilities and my mother usually handles that with the other Adamos wives and our organisational development and wellness teams here at the office.”

“No I want to do this, you know I’m not the executive wife type, not that there’s anything wrong with being an executive wife. That in itself is a full time job.” I pouted my lips and he laughed.

“You have never struck me as the executive wife type at all. I just want you to know that you have options, if you choose to run our real estate or clubs or hotels, that’s also on the table.” He leaned over and kissed me.

“Geeeez what don’t you guys own.” I joked.

The car came to a halt and the driver and one of the valet guy’s came to open our doors.

“I don’t know how I am going to be able to keep my hands off you today.” He whispered to me as he held out his arm for me to link my hand to. “Mrs Adamos you are going to be a distraction.”

I giggled and looked lovingly into his eyes. “We all need that distraction once in a while don’t we?”

The AE buildings were quite impressive skyscrapers, I was in awe as we walked in. I had worked in New York, the big bad concrete jungle with impressive buildings but this skyscraper would be the envy of architects back in the US. The complex towers included three towers interconnected with sky bridges.

“Wow! The towers are magnificent.” I really couldn’t help but be awe struck no matter how much I tried to look like I was used to all this.

“One day all this will be Kai’s to run.” He smiled proudly.

We stepped into the lobby of the building as so many pairs of eyes stared at us. My demeanour changed to professional as all these people regarded me curiously. Xander kept walking like he was oblivious to all of them, instead of walking towards the security barrier gates that would lead us to the elevator we walked up to a private elevator entrance. A security guy acknowledged us as he punched in some keys and the door opened, when we were inside, Xander punched in his own code then used a fingerprint and the elevator started to move up. We went all the way into they opened floor.

“Safety is very important as always. Your finger print has been added onto the system, I will show you later on how the codes are generated because they change every 15 minutes.” He smiled as his arm went around my waist and he pulled me to him, he really looked happy that I was with him at the office.

“You’re enjoying this a little too much” I giggled. He had on the same grin Kai would get when he was too excited.

“Oh no I’m enjoying this a lot too much.” He laughed. To have my other half to share this experience with is amazing, I know you are going to excell at anything you choose to undertake.

“No pressure…” I joked.

“No pressure at all.” His lips came down on mine and I gave him access as our tongues explored. As the k**s deepened my hands went around the nape of his neck and I curled my fingers around the small curls of hair on the back of his head which made him g***n.

He pulled away and we both laughed at our predicament, how were we going to succeed at keeping our hands of each other all day.

We reached the top floor and the doors to the elevator opened. A young brunette woman was waiting just outside.

“Good morning Mr and Mrs Adamos.” She regarded me and smiled.

“Iris, is Mrs Adamos’ office ready to occupy?” He asked.

“Yes sir, as instructed. Everything is ready.”

“Good. Iris is your personal assistant, anything that you need she will arrange for it.” Xander said as we walked towards an office. I was quite impressed, when had Xander organised all this?

It wasn’t a corner office but it was huge and it had large glass windows to get a better view of the city, it was stunning!

“We kept the designs and colour schemes simple because I thought you might want to make the space your own.” Iris smiled.

“It’s perfect, a few art pieces and family photos and it will be complete. Thank you Iris.”

Xander led us to his office where his personal assistant Gretchen, was waiting with schedule for the day. How many secretaries and assistants did he have? She was not the same lady I had spoken to when we had arranged to move from Phoenix. She smiled genuinely and handed the both of us a brief.

“Good morning Mr Adamos, Mrs Adamos. Your first meeting of the day will be in thirty minutes time, the client called and we had to change the schedule a bit.

“Thank you Gretchen, could you get both Mrs Adamos and I some coffee, make mine a double espresso please.” He instructed her.

“Make mine a cold brew with ice please.” She nodded.

After she left, I looked around Xander’s office, it was actually next to mine, his was a corner office. It was exactly how I had expected it to be because his office in Phoenix and office at the house were similar, they had the same colour scheme and similar furniture, the office here was was just way bigger but everything looked very expensive.

“I know…it’s missing a few things.” He looked at me as I scanned it.

“Huh? What is missing?” I frowned at him.

“Photos of you and Kai on my table.” He smiled.

“You don’t like to keep photos of family in your office.” I pointed out.

“I used to.” He said quietly.

“Hera? I understand why you don’t have pictures of her. I wish I knew what she looked like though, I am curious.” I said cautiously.

He walked towards a wall where there was a painting and he felt underneath it, the painting opened like a door and behind it it revealed a safe. He pressed some buttons then planted his finger print, it opened up. He took out a photo frame then closed it. I walked towards him and he handed me the frame.

There was a picture of a blonde woman in a beautiful yellow summer dress sitting on a picnic blanket. She was cradling her stomach, she looked like she was around six months pregnant. The photograph looked like it was taken on the estate grounds, she was smiling at the camera.

She looked breathtakingly beautiful, her smile made me want to smile and her blue grey eyes just sparkled with so much laughter in them. I could see why people thought we looked alike, we kept our hair the same way and the shape of her face was similar to mine. She had plump lips like mine.

“She was beautiful.” I smiled at him still holding on to the frame.

“Are you thinking what everyone else has been thinking and saying.” He asked.

“Do I remind you of her?” I couldn’t help but ask.

“Angel, when I saw you at the club, Hera was the last thing on my mind. Your face was the subject of my dreams for 6 years.” He took the frame from my hands. “I loved her, it really hurt to lose her but when I tell you that you and I were fated I wish you would believe me Soraya. You are my other half.”

He pulled me towards him and hugged me tightly. “I love you Angel.”

“I love you too.” I smiled. “I’m not saying this out of jealousy Xander, I am just curious…”

Before I could finish my sentence his one hand lifted my chin and his lips were on mine begging for entry, he kissed me deeply as I allowed him in.

We were interrupted by heels walking into his office. Gretchen had a tray with our drinks, she placed them on the coffee table, pretending like she had not seen us kissing. Xander walked to the safe and placed the frame back in safe and closed it.

“Your 9 o’clock is here.”she informed us.

“We will be right there in ten.” He told her. Then he walked to his desk and he took out three frames, one was a picture of him and I at the gala, one of Kai at Disney world and the third one was of him, Kai and myself also at Disney. We had taken these at the photo booth. I had forgotten, Kai had forced us to take pictures.

I couldn’t help but smile and give him a peck on the cheek. “I love them!” They had been enlarged so beautifully to fit the frames. He placed them strategically on his desk before we took the briefs and our coffees and then walked towards what looked like a boardroom.

As we got there, there were three gentlemen sitting there, one of them was sitting at the head of the table looking down going through a leather binder. We could not see his face.

He looked up and smiled and I couldn’t hide the shock on my face. He looked like Xander. They could have passed for twins except he looked slightly younger.

Xander’s facial expression changed to pure disgust. “Paskal.”

“Hello brother.” This man smiled smugly.
