Soraya’s POV

I had gotten over the fact that I was always going to be stunned as the only Adamos wife that didn’t grow up around a lap of luxury. As we drove into Villa Alegria I couldn’t help but look out of the window like a little kid looking into a display window of a huge toy store that held all the wonder and fun a child could ever need. I looked at Xander and he smiled at me with amusement.

“I don’t even know what to say, I literally have run out of words because ever since I married you there are things that I have been exposed to that I still can’t believe exist.” I said.

He chuckled. “Only the best for my family, Soraya I want to give you anything and everything.” He smiled, I couldn’t help but blush as I smiled back at him. I looked out of the window again, it invoked an enchanting atmosphere, the villa was at the top of a steep slope, in the northern part of the island where the rock was carved to offer incredible panoramic views, including the deep blue sea. It was less than a five minutes drive or 20 minutes walk from three major beaches in Mykonos as Xander had explained like a tour guide would.

“I love it here.” I whispered without realising I had.

“Maybe we should get another villa on this side of Mykonos.” Xander interrupted my thoughts.

“You can’t buy every single thing that I fall in love with.” I laughed.

“Why the hell not?” He laughed. “We can always turn it into a hotel just like this one or a smaller version of this one. It will generate income.”

I shook my head and just carried on looking outside making him chuckle. I wondered if his need to impress me would ever stop, I found it very cute though that my mighty husband, a man who scared a significant number of people could not help himself when it came to his wife. Stacy always seemed to note how I had him wrapped around my finger, what they didn’t know is that I melted just as badly for him. I smiled to myself.

Xander opened the car door for me and held me close to him as we walked in. My mother, Gaia and my dad were right in front of us, I could see that my parents were also in awe of everything around them. Hector walked in with his mother and Ajana in his arms. Stacy held on to Kai who was talking non stop as always. Xander looked at them and chuckled.

“He never stops talking.” He marvelled.

“Ever since he started talking and before that it was crawling and touching every single thing in sight, he’s a happy child.” I beamed at him.

“I wish I had seen all his stages growing up until this age.” Xander looked at him thoughtfully.

“Maybe it’s time to give him a baby brother.” I said quietly.

He turned and looked at me, he looked a little surprised. “Really?” He asked.

“Or a baby sister, either way their growing stages are usually the same.” I joked.

He grinned at me as the manager of the villa and Alana van der Woodson approached us, some of the hotel staff was right behind the two ladies “Good day Mrs Adamos, welcome to Villa Alegria she said to Gaia who introduced my parents to the hotel manager. The porters all went out to the car where John was waiting with some of his own staff to help supervise the unloading of our luggage.

Xander and I were led up to the honeymoon suite, it was spectacular. “I could definitely cocoon myself in here forever.” I swooned making Xander laugh. The water villa and this entire room definitely made most of the ocean surroundings, there was so much to admire from the lavish furnishings to the vast marble bathroom, the generous terraces that showed off the fine weather.

“By the way we are going to celebrate your birthday while we are on our honeymoon.” Xander came and hugged me from behind. “I want to gift you something you really want, I know money doesn’t impress you.” He sighed into my hair.

“All I want for my birthday is you.” I whispered. “Just the two of us together.” He smiled and kissed me deeply when I said this.

“There must be something you always wanted for yourself, something you don’t have to share with anyone.” He said.

“You, Xander when I gave myself to you all those years ago it was truly meant to be a one night stand but I came back to the hotel a week later because you touched something deep within me. I can’t explain to you what it is or when it happened that night, I think it was when I lay in your arms. When you told me that your dad cheated on Gaia it broke my heart for her because I think if you did the same thing to me I would kill you. So all I want is you, never having to share you, you for myself. That’s all I want.” I said.

His grin made me smile, it was so wide. “You smile but I really would kill you. I’m not here to have my heart broken. ” I said.

“I believe that.” He looked at me seriously. I said I would give you anything and everything, If that’s what you want then you shall have it. I promise you that ever since I saw you at the gas station there has never been anyone.”

“You kissed Leticia.” I playfully swiped at him.

“That was to make you jealous because you ignored the hell out of me.” He joked. “I was hurt that it didn’t bug you.”

“Oh it bugged me alright, If I ever see another woman’s hands on you I won’t be held responsible for what I do to that woman or you.” I put my hands around his neck and slightly squeezed. He kissed me again.

“Mrs Adamos you are kinky!” He smiled and chuckled. “Duly noted.”

Stacy’s POV

Gaia, Soraya, myself and Alana walked around the villa as she showed us the progress of preparations that had been done so far, the wedding was tomorrow and everything looked beautiful. “Well we have followed all the requests you had on the spec, you wanted a full experience of a Greek wedding but to also incorporate a few of the normal white wedding traditions.” Alana beamed.

“This feels like a royal wedding.” Soraya looked so nervous.

“Honey you are royalty. The Adamos family is royalty not only in Greece but all of Europe.” Alana couldn’t help herself, she was excited to have landed a high profile wedding.

Soraya approved of everything that had been done, Gaia and Alessandra were excited. Right after that the designers began to arrive in choppers with the outfits and dresses. We spent the rest of the day helping Soraya try on all her outfits to make sure everything was perfect. Everything fitted her to perfection, the designers had outdone themselves.

“Baby you look like a vision.” Alessandra had tears in her eyes as she looked at Soraya who was standing in front of a full length mirror admiring her wedding gown.

The dress showed off her beautiful bare shoulder, her small waist but illustrated and accentuated her beautiful full curves.

It was a strapless fit and flare bridal gown with a mix of floral and graphic laces were cut into linear patterns and placed thoughtfully throughout her silhouette to elongate the frame and enhance her curves and legs making her look tall. The silver embroidery added a slight shimmer to the design, placed artfully amidst the swiss dot details. The skirt flared into a stunning sheer train overlay with scalloped shaping with a graphic lace hem and the back of the wedding dress zipped beneath real pearl buttons. The dress came with a beautiful silk garter matching the colours and designs of the dress as a gift from the designer.

“Momma don’t cry.” Soraya held her hands up and her mom went in for a hug.

“I can’t help it my baby is all grown up, has her own household, these are happy tears. All I ever wanted for you as I watched you grow was for you to be happy and healthy and loved and you have all three of those things.” She hugged her even tighter.

Everyone in the room looked emotional but in a happy way as we watched them.

Gaia took out three boxes of different sizes and walked towards them. “This is your something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.” She opened the first box. “Alessandra and I thought it would be special to put together something from both sides of the family.”

“This is your grandmother’s hair comb honey, it has been passed down for generations. Gaia took it to the jewellers to have some white pearl details added to the white gold. This is your something old and something new.” Alessandra clipped the comb neatly into Soraya’s hair careful not to disturb the hair.

“Your wedding shoes are a gift from Xander, it’s customary in Greek tradition for the groom to pick his bride’s wedding shoes. He did quite a good job hey, your something blue.” Gaia handed Soraya the bigger box, they were a beautiful lustrous hangisi jewel blue silk satin Alexander McQueen pencil heel pump with a pointed toe.

“Xander picked these?” She marvelled making everyone laugh.

“He has very lovely taste.” Gaia beamed, she was a proud mother. “So your bridesmaids names will be written on the one shoe and the other one has this.” She turned the shoe around revealing a message that Xander had written on the shoe.” Soraya’s eyes teared up and she covered her face with her hands.

“What does it say?” Sasha asked curiously.

‘God gave me a bestfriend to walk this journey with from beginning to end, I’ve been blessed with my true love and soulmate. Love Xander.’ Gaia read it out loud and Soraya blushed profusely as everybody in the room swooned, gushed and clapped their hands.

The last box had her something borrowed. “My grandmother’s pearls.” Gaia put them around Soraya’s neck.

“When it’s all said and done, we both are lucky to have found each other.” Soraya wiped the tears from her eyes.

That evening the rest of the Adamos family and family from Soraya’s side started to arrive, some of them were set up at a different villa close by. The rehearsal dinner went well as speeches were recited. Hector and Dorian as usual had everyone laughing as they told stories about Xander and they gave advise. I told a few funny stories about Soraya as she blushed. Later on as I walked around with Soraya and Sasha we introduced her to some of the family members.

You could tell they afforded her a huge level of respect not only because she was their Don’s wife and loved by Gaia but because Soraya was sweet and lovable. She smiled and laughed and allowed for them to hug her. The younger adults were simply enamoured with her.

As soon as we wrapped up with the rehearsal dinner and intros, the real fun began. We kidnapped Soraya to an area that had been set up for the bachelorette party.

Hector’s POV

“Now that the rehearsal dinner is out of the way we have plans for a mini bachelor party and you just have to indulge us.” I told Xander who shook his head.

“There is no such thing as mini in your vocabulary brother. I would like to save myself the trouble and actually sneak upstairs to my wife.” He looked quite adamant.

“You won’t replace her, All the bridesmaids are having a mini bachelorette party.” I couldn’t help but chuckle. “I promise we are going to go easy on you.”

“This is not going to be the go easy that you promised the first time is it?” He looked at me like I was lying.

“Bro, last time was not my fault, that was all Dorian.”

“Hera and my mother almost killed me because I was so hungover.” He did not look amused at all.

“But we got you there on time didn’t we and you did not look hungover at all after Helga made you drink that concoction and Dorian held you down in the cold shower.” I laughed out loud. “I was just as wasted for my wedding.”

He roared out in laughter. “You barely made it to the alter because you were way too excited the night before and you got wasted and even though you had a motherfucking headache then the next day you still woke up, almost forgot your vows and there I was nudging you, secretly sliding your wedding vows into your hands.”

“Man! I couldn’t wait to make Stacy mine. We were quite lucky that night weren’t we?” I looked at him while reminiscing about the night we met Stacy and Soraya.

“I was just too stupid to see it at that time, I think I knew it but it scared me.” He admitted. “I saw something in Soraya that night, the way she smiled and the way she talked like she had known me for years but when I woke up that morning I had convinced myself that I would only hurt her or she’d just die like Hera had.” He looked like the thought troubled him.

“Well it took me almost three years to replace Stacy again so we were both stupid.” I chuckled. “By the way, Soraya gave me these to give to you. She waited until the last minute to give them to you.”

I took out a black velvet box and handed it to him. He opened it and took out the cufflinks and a lapel that had the Adamos crest. Xander grinned stupidly. I had never seen him like this, I laughed hard.

“I will punch you if you make this part of your groomsmen speech tomorrow.” He said. I carried on laughing.

“Why the hell would I not?!” I couldn’t stop laughing, I was so happy for my brother. “By the way, you were right about her. She’s a special kind of tough, she makes a fine Dona.”

The goofy grin came back on his smile. This side of Xander not many people knew about. It was good to see it back on his face after so long.
