The Greek Billionaire’s Indecent Proposal
Chapter 68

Xander’s POV

“Alright thank you for the update Greta, I have arranged for you to be picked up. The transport should be there in just a few hours.” I spoke to the housekeeper that my father had placed a long time ago in Italy to take care of Paskal . She was now on my payroll.

“Master Xander I know that Melania did not run away, your brother definitely did something to her.” In the twelve years that I had started working with Greta I had never heard such panic in her voice.

“That’s why I am getting you out of there Greta, I believe it is no longer safe. You will be placed in France until Paskal has been dealt with, dismiss all the staff that’s left and tell them that their services won’t be needed for a couple of months, they will still get paid their salaries for the months they won’t be working.” I explained to her.

We said our goodbyes over the phone then I hung up.

“What did that psycho do?” Hector had been standing patiently waiting for me to end the call.

“He killed Melania, I didn’t have the heart to confirm it to Greta.” I said.

“I don’t even know what to say to that, he has seriously lost the plot.” Hector sighed deeply.

“I think we have reached a point of no return Hector, I can’t fix him. No one can fix him. I’m pretty sure he wants you dead too.” I looked at Hector seriously as we walked up to a warehouse we were going to use as our meeting point.

“Oh I know that the bastard wants me dead alright, in his mind I am the reason why you and him can’t get along.” He chuckled.

“So what he doesn’t know is I know the Jihadist group that he is bringing to the meeting today. He is probably banking on the fact that I will be refusing to sell to them and they will start a war. They are not stupid so they will not start a war on my turf, they are going to want to negotiate and I will refer them to somewhere else.” I explained once again to Hector.

“Paskal will have no choice but to calm down. I will offer him money, that should calm him.”

“You can’t keep offering him money.” Hector argued. “It won’t solve the fact that he will constantly be getting himself into more s**t that you will have to bail him out off.”

“For now Hector let’s put out the one fire, I plan to sit him down at a later stage.”

“You can’t reason with him, he needs to be committed into a psych ward, the kind that holds criminals.” Hector wasn’t having it.

“See this is why he wants your a*s dead.” I laughed.

The team was already in place and well hidden, I had gotten surveillance footage from around Mykonos traffic cams to anticipate how many people the jihadist group would be bringing. It hadn’t been easy for them to come into the country which indicated they didn’t have connections, there was no way they would get into a fight with me blindly unless it was a suicide mission.

Yannis and Leon walked in with Dorian and Simon. “We have eyes on Paskal, he is alone.”

“Good, the rest of you stay hidden, I want this to go as smoothly as possible” I ordered.

A few moments later after Yannis and Dorian had inspected Paskal’s car, they let him drive into the warehouse. He got out of the Audi R8 with a grin and walked towards Hector and I.

“I don’t know if I should feel insulted or not that you didn’t double up on the security which means you don’t take me very seriously.” He said as he stood right in front of me and extended his arms out for a hug.

“Do I give off the impression that I’m the affectionate type?” I asked him. He laughed and folded his hand across his chest.

I feel important though because you also brought the lapdog. These men mean business.” He winked at Hector and laughed.

Hector shook his head and contained himself. It was not easy to get him to lose his cool and that’s one of the many qualities I admired most about him.

“So where are these people?” I asked Paskal.

“They should be here any moment now. So what is it that you plan to say to them because they are the war types that are not afraid to engage if you know what I’m saying.” He looked like he was a little too excited like he expected this to go wrong. I had been right all along? He was banking on there being a disagreement and a fight and maybe for me to be caught in the crossfire. I smiled at him which made him frown, he didn’t know how easy he was to read or predict.

“And you decided that those are the kinds of people you want to deal with? Paskal you don’t own a company, you can’t go around promising your goons weapons.” I tried to explain to him.

His eyes went dark as he looked at me. “I have shares in the company!” He snarled.

“Thanks to my generosity, you forget that you wanted to cash out and I let you! When you came back I should not have sold you back your shares which you couldn’t even afford to buy them at their real value anyways.” I pointed out and sighed. “This is the last time I’m helping you out, don’t make this a habit or else you are on your own.”

“I have always been on my own!” He said quietly. “Anyway how is that wife of yours? How did the wedding go?”

“Your invite must have gotten lost on the way to mail it?” Hector joked and chuckled. I shook my head at him.

Two cars approached and slowed down right behind Paskal’s Audi R8 LMS GT4. Four men came out of each car, there were eight of them in total.

“Xander Adamos, do you know how hard it is to get a meeting with you?” A man I knew spoke directly to me in a Farsi accent and smiled.

“Azeez, it has been a long time.” I acknowledged him with a nod as Yannis indicated that he needed to search them and their cars.

Azeez gave the go ahead and his men opened up the cars allowing Leon Dorian and Yannis to conduct searches for weapons and explosives in and outside the car.

“The last time I saw you was ten years ago when you made a deal with an opposing political party I was at war with. You were the Bain of my existence then but I admired you because you were young, fearless and powerful.”

“I still am very powerful Azeez.” I pointed out.

“I still can’t believe that this one here is your brother, it must have been a disappointment for your father.” He laughed out loud as he pointed towards Paskal.

“Are you kidding me Azeez I got you the meeting didn’t I?” Paskal complained but when Azeez looked at him coldly he kept quiet. I was amused by this.

“Azeez I don’t take kindly to people threatening my family members, he might be the irritating thorn on my side but like I said he is family.”

“Of course, we all have those. Your brother promised me a lot of weapons and I made deals on those promises that he made and now he can’t deliver. He used your name to make those deals.” He informed me. I looked at Paskal who just shrugged.

“I should let you take him out.” I joked. Paskal looked at me incredulously. “But like I said, he is family.”

“So where is my merchandise?”

“I cannot give you any merch Azeez, my company has been legitimised and I’m not going to change that at all. What I can do for you is refer you to a competitor of mine. If you tell him you are currently negotiating with me, he will give you a good deal.”

“Why did you bring me out here then?” He looked irritated.

“Because if I told you this over a call, what guarantee would I have that you wouldn’t kill Paskal just to appease your anger?” He roared out in laughter when I said this.

“Clearly you think too highly of this piece of nuisance. Fine I will let this go, and you… you should stay in your lane.” He pointed to Paskal again. “Your brother isn’t always going to be there to save you.”

“I will finance your trip to Germany to this competitor of mine but that’s about all I can do.” I said.

We had some more small talk before Yannis, Leon and some of my men escorted Azeez and his men out of the warehouse. I made arrangements for them to leave the country without any issues like I promised to.

As soon as they left, the teams of men that had been well hidden came out and began to do a perimeter sweep of the place. Paskal had a look of shock on his face even though he was trying to hide it.

“You made that look so easy.” He said. “You also brought a lot of men like you anticipated a fight.”

“It was easy, I hope there won’t be a next time Paskal because I won’t hesitate to let them kill you. You don’t go around making deals using my name without my permission!” I argued ignoring his last statement.

“It’s easier for you, you have the family empire to fall back on, when I’m out there do you know how hard it is to try and build a name for myself?” He countered.

“It’s not like I didn’t offer to teach you, all the Adamos men were open to learning. You on the other hand spat in my face. It will teach you not to bite the hand that feeds you.”

I could tell his anger was just bubbling inside him.

Paskal’s POV

Hector and Dorian walked away into what looked like an office when Xander said this. I couldn’t help my anger. This was not how I had expected it to go. There had been no fightin, no arguments. Everything was peaceful! Since when did Azeez not go for a fight? He liked to prove a point by shedding b***d and he had rolled over and played dead for Xander! I tried to calm myself as Xander looked at me. All the men he had come with were dismissed.

“Things always go easy for you.” I snarled at him.

“Isn’t that how you wanted that to go?” He smiled arrogantly. “Were you hoping Azeez would do your dirty work for you?”

I feigned innocence when he said this.

“Oh come on Paskal! I am tired of this game that you keep playing! Let’s hash it out now! You want to kill me don’t be a coward, do it yourself like you killed Melania this weekend” he growled at me.

How did he know that? He couldn’t possibly know that!

“I am Xander f*****g Adamos! I know everything!” He started to walk towards me, he towered over me with his height, his expression changing to a menacing one. “You want to kill me, you do it yourself, if you want to take my seat then don’t be coward!”

His hands grabbed me by my collar and he looked directly into my eyes. “I’m no longer amused by this game that you keep playing.”

“You have been paying Greta to keep an eye on me haven’t you?” I questioned him.

“That entire staff is being paid by me, the sad part is Greta actually genuinely cares about you.” He spat out.

“So you knew all this time what Melania did to me! You and your mother?!” I tried to shrug him off me but he held on.

“My mother could give two shits about you, father took care of you and when he died I carried on taking care of you! I convinced Greta to stay and look out for you! I was hoping her mothering would ease your aggression or at least channel your anger to doing something worthwhile.”

“Oh I did! I channeled it into giving Melania a taste of her own medicine!” I tugged again and he let go of me.

“This is what makes you unbalanced! This is why I can’t have you around me or the family! This is why you have become an outcast.”

“You are blaming me for experiencing trauma that was inflicted on me by a crazy bitch.” I swung at him and he moved out of the way. I swung again and missed.

“Do you know what father would make me do Paskal to make sure I wouldn’t hesitate when it came to shooting or killing? When Melania tried to drown you where do you think she got that from? You hesitate you drown! He held my head down while I swallowed water choking underneath a pool fighting to come up! The first time I killed a man I was seventeen! So this cry of yours that you were traumatised, Hector and Dorian and every single Adamos man has been through the s**t you went through. The beatings I received from father for being soft and too caring.” He raged at me. “Melania probably did those things for herself to please Alexander but its not so different, I had my mother to protect me most of the time yes.”

“Is that the same thing you will do to your son?” I asked him. I had no idea he had gone through similar at the hands of our father. He didn’t look so shocked that I had found out about his son.

“We grew up in a different era, I don’t need to be harsh and abusive to teach my son life lessons.” He said in a soft tone. “Stop with this pitiful me story that you have going. When you are ready to work? You call me but if you still want to act like you had it tougher than all of us then stay in Italy, don’t come back to Greece. The next time you pull a gun at me or mine I will kill you baby brother. Without hesitation!” He turned around and walked towards the office.

I was still angry! He knew nothing! He was lying about having it tough, he grew up in a family full of love! He had father’s affection. He had everything I wanted and I still wanted, I would get everything that he had!

If he wanted me to kill him myself then that’s what I would do!

“I want to come back to the family with you then.” I said.

“Not today, I have to ease my mother into all this.” He said. “When I am back from my honeymoon, we can do this.”

“So what now? I go back to Italy and sit in an empty house? You probably told Greta to leave! I’d never hurt Greta.” I sighed. She had betrayed me, I’d hunt her down and kill her too. But he didn’t need to know that!

“I don’t know what you are going to do to pass the time, if I were you I’d start seeking some professional help to help you with your aggression and a whole lot of other issues that I won’t mention.” He said nonchalantly. “You don’t have a choice but to wait for me.”

Cars started to appear out of nowhere and most of the men went in and just like that they were gone. I got into my car and drove slowly at a distance that allowed for me to be unseen. I had to see which Villa they were at. I’d replace a way to get in there.

When they got just outside the villa, instead of Xander going in, he turned his car around and drove off. I followed him at a distance, he drove for some time before he slowed down and indicated to go into the Marina port. One of the Adamos yachts were down by the port, he probably planned to sale around for his honeymoon. I smiled, he had told me to come at him directly if I wanted to kill him and that’s exactly what I would do.

I watched him walk up to the yacht and board it. Soraya couldn’t have been there yet, maybe he wanted to make sure that everything was perfect for her. What those idiots who had searched my car didn’t know was that I had a built in compartment that allowed me to hide my guns and a few extra things I’d need for insurance. I grabbed my guns and the rest of the contents in the compartment.

I walked up to the yacht and boarded it, I was stopped by a butler, I instantly shot at him. My gun had a silencer, I pushed him overboard and carried on walking. The rest of the staff must have been inside preparing because I could not see them. I walked around slowly, I was spotted by a maid, she frowned as she looked at me and was about to scream when she saw my gun. I fired twice and she instantly fell to the ground.

I looked around to make sure no one heard then I carried on walking, eventually I found the main room where Xander was. He looked up when he saw me. He had been on a call but hung up when I pointed the gun at him.

“Don’t miss when you shoot and you better kill me.” He growled at me.

“I don’t plan to miss big brother.” I smiled at him. He flew at me just as I pressed the trigger. The bullet hit his lower abdomen but he carried on coming at me. He threw a punch at me which landed on my jaw, I reeled backwards. He grabbed my gun and managed to get it out of my hands, hitting me with it over my head. He backed away then pointed at me as I tried to take out my other gun. He didn’t hesitate to shoot. The shot landed on my leg as I ducked. I ran out of the room and hid myself on the other side of the door. I took out a grenade and took out the pin. I had to throw this in and run as fast as I could or else this would be a suicide mission.

“I told you to make sure you kill me Paskal.” He roared at me in anger.

I threw it in, I heard Xander running towards the door, he was right on my heel as I ran then there was an explosion which had the both of us flying. We both got knocked around but it seemed like Xander hit his head on the floor. There was an alarm that went off as I struggled to get up from the floor. I began to kick at him, my injured leg made it very difficult for me to stand on it and use the other leg and somewhere in the explosion I had lost my gun. I had to finish him off. I began to punch at his face but then I heard someone running in towards our direction I started to run. They couldn’t replace me in here with him.

I managed to get out unseen, running back to my car, I took of one of my shirts and tied it around my gunshot wound and started the car. I had to get out of here, if only I could get to a local bar then I could replace help. There were always some guys willing to help for a bit of cash.
