The Greek Billionaire’s Indecent Proposal
Chapter 60

Xander’s POV

A week into her role and Soraya had proven that she was a super woman. She was fully integrated into her role and had even added a lot of her own standard operating procedures which seemed to work way better than the old ones.

Hector, Dorian and I were constantly impressed when we had meetings with her, she had amazing ideas and the staff absolutely adored her. She had a way of talking to them without throwing her weight around or threatening them.

She even made time to go to the hospital with Dorian when he went to fetch Simon. She had made sure the housekeepers arranged for him to be in one of the guest rooms in the house until he was fully recovered. It was her thoughtfulness that made everyone loyal to her.

Paskal on the other hand had made another appointment to see me, the fact that he was approaching me professionally was very surprising yet suspicious. I did not say anything to the family because my mother got upset every time Paskal’s name was mentioned and Soraya had already been through way too much with Moretti and Michail.

I was constantly on high alert now that he was in Athens, I knew exactly what he wanted, my worry was that once he knew about Kai then he would replace a way to try and eliminate him. Paskal played dirty like he always had as a child, he was an even bigger threat than Moretti because he enjoyed to torture the small and the helpless, he wouldn’t hesitate to torture Kai the way he had tortured that poor little beagle pup. I had always known how things would end between Paskal and myself, in the end one would have to live and the other would have to die. As much as I had tried to be a brother to him I knew he would never change, So many times I had let him get away with so many things like when I took the blame for drowning the dog, I thought that would show him that I wanted to protect him but it made him worse. I was ready to kill him should the time come because this time I had far more to lose than he did.

My phone rang interrupting my thoughts.

“Hector.” I answered.

“The ladies are coming to ambush Soraya, they are taking her to the designer who will design her wedding gown. The both of you seem to have forgotten that your wedding is in two weeks.” He chuckled. “Aunt Gaia has given me strict instructions to get you to the tailor for your designer suit. Your choices in colours are black or navy blue and your suit has to have a mandarin collar.” He laughed.

“That’s very specific.” I joked and chuckled.

“And you know how Aunt Gaia is, she will kill us if we don’t indulge her with her specificity in these instructions. Matthew will be joining us as well. ”

“I will meet you in the lobby, let me check on Soraya first.” I ended the call and walked to Soraya’s office. There was a connecting door in my office that led to hers. As I walked in she had a confused look on her face as she looked at Sasha and Stacy who were forcing her to shut down her laptop.

“Raya you haven’t even asked us about your wedding preparations.” Sasha pointed out.

“That’s because work has been busy.” She pointed out. “You did tell me not to worry about anything.”

“Well for your information we have found an amazing venue, I can’t wait to show you the pictures. It’s in Mykonos and it fits seven hundred and fifty guests.” Stacy beamed.

Soraya looked at me with pleading eyes when she spotted me standing by the door, I couldn’t help but chuckle.

“And right after that I think we need to take the yacht out to celebrate before we jet of to our honeymoon.” I added making the two ladies clap in excitement.

“Xander don’t encourage them.” She got up from her desk and walked towards them.

“Don’t you want to know where I’m taking you for our honeymoon?” I held out my hand and she walked towards me.

“No don’t tell me, I want to be surprised.” She smiled as she walked into my arms.

“Mother will kill you if you don’t meet the designer for your dress.” I gave her a light peck on the lips. “Hector is accompanying me to get my suit and I have been given specifications to the design and colour.”

“Well I guess work will have to wait then.” She pressed her lips to mine and I deepened the k**s. “Any requests Mr Adamos?” She gave me a naughty smile.

“I look forward to the rendezvous with the naughty temptress on our wedding night, white seems to have become my favourite colour.” I knew exactly what he was talking about, I kissed him again and then smiled.

I heard Stacy clear her throat making Xander chuckled. “See you later Mrs Adamos.”

“Can we talk about this love bomb that’s just exploded in our faces” Stacy looked at Sasha who giggled.

“They look like two love sick teenagers, don’t they?” Sasha teased.

Soraya hid her face in her hands, I laughed and pulled her even closer. “Ladies enjoy the rest of your day.” I said and kissed her deep again. “I love you Mrs Adamos.

“I love you too Mr Adamos.” She said shyly.

I walked them to the car and made sure all three security details were ready before I went to join the men in Hector’s G Wagon.

Soraya’s POV

As we drove to the estate to meet with the designer, the ladies were firing questions at me about Xander and I and how things had gone from me basically ready to run back to Phoenix to being so addicted to one another. I didn’t know how to explain to them how he made me feel but I kept thinking they definitely understand because that’s how they feel about their own husbands.

“See I told you that you had to be patient. “Stacy smiled at me. “Raya! I’m so excited for you.

“Well there’s one thing we never thought about ladies and this would definitely be the icing on the cake for me.” I said to them.

“What is it?” Sasha laughed.

“Stacy will you be my maid of honour and Sasha my bridesmaid?“

They both screamed making me laugh. They chorused yes and hugged me. “Well to be honest because this wedding is going to be a big thing, I called four of your cousins from your mother’s side to be bridesmaids, momma Eaton got me their details so they will be flying out here next weekend and then there’s two of Xander’s female cousins to be extra bridesmaids. Hector is organising the groomsmen”

“So this really will be a big wedding huh?”

“We Adamos women don’t do small.” They chorused and giggled.

I was so shocked to walk into one of the guest lounges and replace the Abdullah Jamil, a famous designer who specialised in wedding dresses, sitting there with his team. He only worked with royal and elite families, I had to compose myself but I couldn’t hide the excitement on my face. Gaia introduced us and we got right down to business, talking about the kind of dress I envisioned.

I was totally honest with him about knowing very little about what I really wanted. He made me stand up as he walked around me then smiled.

“You don’t mind if I take the lead and design a special gown for you?”

“By all means please.” I smiled.

I watched as he quickly sketched a rough draft then he showed it to me. I was blown away!

“If this is just a rough draft then I cannot wait to see the finished product.” I smiled.

As soon as they had left, another well know designer walked in and we talked about the bridesmaids dresses and my second outfit for the wedding. Sasha and Stacy had already gotten the measurements from everyone. The drafts were brilliant, Stacy and Sasha were definitely pleased.

Gaia and my mother came in after the designer had left. Gaia beamed at me as they walked in with a gorgeous blonde woman. “So this is the blushing bride.” The lady exclaimed.

“Raya honey this is Alana van der Woodson, She is your wedding planner.” Alana hugged me and kissed me on both cheeks.

“You are gorgeous! Xander Adamos is a very lucky man. Now I managed to book Allegria, you know how long the list is for that place because of its popularity amongst the royals and elite as a wedding venue.” She smiled with so much satisfaction as she said this.

The ladies were quite pleased about this as they aaah’d and oooh’d. she took out her tablet and a big leather binder as she showed us the videos and pictures of the venue. Gaia and my mother gave their inputs on colour schemes, the types of flowers they thought would be great, what kind of catering and a whole lot of other things that seemed to make my head spin.

“Soraya, you will love this places it’s a seven star villa with full hotel service hospitality with top notch amenities. If you want to arrive there in a helicopter, they have a helipad and the honeymoon suite is just everything you would want it to be and don’t get me started on the unrestrained sea views from all the indoor and outdoor areas, and thanks to its landscaping, there is ample space to organise.”

I had never thought of having a wedding big enough to this magnitude. I had a few ideas of what I wanted and my inputs were taken very seriously but I was happy to go along with what the ladies came up with.

We wrapped up with the meeting and my mother and Gaia left for their meeting with a designer for their outfits.

I really didn’t have to lift a finger at all, the kids were also sorted out. The ladies and I sat down for some tea before I went upstairs to get ready for dinner. As I was about to undress my phone rang, it was my PA Iris.

“I’m sorry to bother you Mrs Adamos but there are a few document that urgently need your signature. I am terribly sorry, I forgot to give them to you before you left for the day. I can have the driver bring them to the house.” She said.

“It’s okay Iris I was ambushed this morning. I actually need to access certain documents from the server at the office before I can sign those ones so let me quickly come in. I don’t have full access to work from the house just yet because my home office is still being put together.”

“It’s late Mrs Adamos, I don’t think Mr Adamos will be happy with me for bringing you out this late.”

“Don’t worry Iris, I will deal with that. See you in twenty minutes.”

I quickly put my shoes back on and walked downstairs, John was in the hallway.

“John will you please excuse me from supper tonight, I have to pop back out to the office. It shouldn’t take more that an hour and a half.”

“Should I let the driver and security team know that you would like to go out Madam?”

“Yes thank you.”

Paskal’s POV

I had an appointment with Xander today and he had forgotten about it just like that. What made me angry is that his stupid assistant sat there lying to me about not knowing where he was.

For a long time the Adamos family had treated my mother and I like we were not relevant, they treated us like an after thought and I was sick of it. Soon I would rule that entire family as head, they wouldn’t have a choice but to listen to me and I’d take Xander’s wife as my own.

She was a pretty young thing, when I met her the other day I didn’t think that she would be married to him. After he lost that little Kastellanos tramp that looked at me like I was nothing, I never thought he would ever marry again. He never got to replace out that I had been instrumental in helping Kastellanos’ enemies to go after her because it benefited me too. If she had given birth to a son it would have been even harder to get rid of Xander, Kastellanos would have done everything humanly possible to protect his grandson.

If this Soraya lady thought she would be giving Xander an heir then she had another thing coming. I smiled when I thought of how crazy it would drive Xander to know that I’d be laying with his b***h every day after I got rid of him. Speak of the devil…As I was about to leave the office after waiting for Xander for a very long time, His pretty little wife walked in.

I had to give it to Xander, he knew how to pick them. She walked like a Dona, she looked and talked like one too. I watched her as she spoke to some lady who might have been her assistant. They walked into an office and were there for a while before the assistant walked out and walked towards the elevator. That was my chance to speak to my sister in law, soon to be mother of my heir. The thought gave me a hard on, I could picture her shapely curves even though she had hidden them in those cream white power suit pants that she wore.

“Mrs Adamos, this office suits you, you know.” I startled her as she looked up. She looked confused for a while like she thought I was him… my brother then it clicked that I looked like him, the bane of my existence.

“Paskal, hi. What are you doing here.” I thought she would panic when she saw me but she maintained her calm demeanour. That irritated me, I was hoping to unnerve her even if it was just a little.

I walked towards her table as I smiled at her. “I was supposed to meet Xander but he left early apparently.” I couldn’t hide the irritation on my face.

“Oh yes, something came up, I also left early but I had to come back to go through some documents before signing.” She smiled slightly c*****g her head to the side as she regarded me, her eyes were a striking sapphire blue. She was mesmerising, I wanted her so badly.

“What is so important that he had to miss our meeting! I did everything by the book like he would want me to.” I snapped. Still she remained calm, instead of taking a seat in front of her desk I walked around it to her.

“Uhmm Xander and I never had an actual wedding.” She turned to looked at me side ways as she sat on her chair assessing what I’d do next. I shifted the documents in front of her then sat right next to her facing her. She sat back on the chair and watched me intently. “We are planning a wedding.”

“So he blew me off to go and plan wedding frills?” I couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Soraya’s POV

I had been a little scared when I saw Paskal walk into my office but I couldn’t show him that he freaked me out a little. That’s how bullies usually hoped one would react, I kept wishing that Iris would hurry up and come back from the IT department to sort out my access level.

He laughed out loud as I told him about the wedding plans. He leaned forward as he balled over in laughter, his hair falling to his eyes just a little. It looked exactly like how Xander had kept his when I had met him for the first time at the club. It really fascinated me how they looked alike.

“You must be joking, so he doesn’t take me seriously at all.” He looked really offended.

“That’s not true Paskal, he truly forgot, it happens you know.” I tried to remedy the situation.

“Not to Xander.” He frowned then he grabbed me by my shoulders unexpectedly and pulled me up to my feet.

“My reflex reaction was to shrug him off quickly and push him away.

“What are you doing?” I questioned him quickly.

“Why are you not scared of me? Do you know what your mother in law says about me, I’m like the big bad wolf in little red riding hood.” He laughed as he looked at my blonde hair, slowly his hand came up to stroke some locks.

“I think you like to give of that impression Paskal but you aren’t really.” I tried to master my sweetest voice but now I think he could tell that he made me uncomfortable and he loved this.

“What big hands you have, she said” as he said this he examined his own hands. “The better to touch you with, what big teeth you have. The better to devour you with.” He joked and laughed this time throwing his head back just like Xander.

What was taking Iris so long. “The wolf in the story died you know, he got slashed.” I reminded him. “Do you maybe want to come back tomorrow? I will tell Xander you were here.”

I said to him slowly as he moved closer to me . He grabbed my arms to pull me to him but my hands went up to his chest quickly to maintain the distance between us, I pushed him away but he held on tightly to me.

“I am a very strong scary man Soraya.” He said in a low voice. I let my arms fall low between his then tugged again but my eyes burrowed into his as I looked deeply. He anticipated my move and held on tight still and held my gaze. I don’t know why but I couldn’t move, I wasn’t petrified, I just couldn’t stop staring into his eyes, they looked like my husband’s except his amber colour some how reflected coldness.

“Paskal!” A voice growled behind him sending relief through out my body. The voice seemed to make him smile, Paskal was definitely crazy. “Get your hands off my wife.”

He chuckled, taking his time to let go as he read my eyes. Still there was no panic in them even though my heart was racing. He let me go.

“Big brother.” He turned around to face Xander.
