The Greek Billionaire’s Indecent Proposal
Chapter 72

Soraya’s POV

Hector opened the car door for me, I walked out into the warehouse and looked around. Coming here without Xander made me nervous, but I always made sure I dressed the part of a boss so that it boosted my confidence.

I wore a formal black wide leg sleeveless jumpsuit, the front chest part was beaded, over the jumpsuit I had a white blazer that had cloaked sleeves, today I had chosen Versace la medusa patent leather pumps. I slid my Tom Ford sunglasses above my head and walked in the direction of the elevator that would lead to the dungeons with Hector leading the way.

It had been two days since I captured Hans and his men and they had been put in the dungeons but in different warehouses. I had instructed that he alone was not to be fed or given water, I didn’t expect that to do damage to him because he was a soldier after all and could probably go without food for days. Dorian had tortured him though, I had instructed Dorian not to go over board because we still needed Hans to be able bodied if he agreed to play his part.

I walked past the cells ignoring the other prisoners, Hans was sitting on the shelf prison bed. When I stood in front of his cell he looked up at me, the arrogance in his face was gone but I could see resentment in his face. He was bound by chains on his feet and hands still.

“If you are thinking about killing me take a number, there is a long list of misogynistic pricks just like you .” I smiled at him. “Are you ready to work or should I just increase the torture methods? I told them to go easy on you and not to touch that handsome face.”

“Your husband better not be dead like I heard because he is the only one that can stop me from hurting you.” He said quietly.

“Hans!” I snapped my fingers at him. “Take a look at where you are, in a dungeon that I put you in, do I look like I need a man to come and save me? Clearly I am wasting my time with you.”

“Where are my men?” He asked.

“They are in hell holes just like this one, different places of course.” I looked at him, he was looking at me like he was imagining how he would kill me. “Are you ready to call Paskal and set up a meeting Hans? Or do you need more persuasion?”

“Okay fine I will do what you want me to do.” He snarled in a low voice.

“All you have to do is place a call to that deranged friend of yours Paskal and confirm that you will help him, meet up with him and discuss the details. You will be wearing a listening device of course and I will have three sniper men on you at a location that I will choose incase you try to grow wings.” I explained

“Is that all?” He asked

Then you will pretend to come to the estate with your tactical team, you will actually be using my tactical team. After the job is done I will pay you and you can go back to Germany, I will release your team the day after you leave.” I explained further.

“Fine!” He agreed, he looked at me with loathing.

“Don’t worry I feel the exact same way about you.” I smiled at him. “I just don’t let it get in the way of my work.”

Yannis went into the cell and gave him a cellphone.

“We took the liberty of saving the number that Paskal used to contact you.” I told him. “All you have to do is dial it and put the phone on loud speaker, this is the address you will give him.” I gave Yannis the paper with the address.

The phone rang then Paskal’s hubristic voice came over the phone. “Hans my main man!” I couldn’t help but roll my eyes.

“So when are we meeting up? You better not be playing games with me Adamos, this is Xander we are talking about.”

“I told you that my brother is dead, I killed him.” Paskal bragged arrogantly. I clenched my jaw as he said this, I didn’t notice that my fists had balled until Hector took my hand. My expression changed to a poker face.

“You haven’t even shown me the proof.” Hans spoke over the phone. He turned to look at me but my face was still expressionless.

“He died in a yacht explosion, I blew him up using a hand grenade.”

“Was there a body left? Did they bury him?”

“Obviously the family would try to hide it because they don’t want to be attacked, without him they are sitting ducks.”

“That’s what you think!” He said and looked right back at me, I pointed at him and gave him a warning look.

“What do you mean? Is there something you are not telling me Hans?” Paskal asked.

“No, I just don’t want to send my men to their deaths. Xander Adamos killed most of my men last time I faced him.” He explained to Paskal while he still looked at me.

“You and your men are going to be filthy rich once I take over. Hans if you are having second thoughts, I can get someone else more willing.” Paskal threatened Hans.

“No it’s fine, let’s meet tomorrow.” He gave him the address and Paskal agreed. As soon as they hung up the call Hans bellowed at me. “I want to see Xander Adamos.”

“After you meet with Paskal, I will get Xander to come down here. If he decides to kill you then that’s on you. I told you that I was trying to throw you and your men a life line.” I bluffed.

“You are lying to me!” He yelled.

“Fine Hans, I will place the call. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.” I took out my phone and dialled the house phone, I put the phone on speaker. John answered.

“This is the Adamos residence, how may I help you.”

“John is my husband at home?”

“Madam, yes he is.” John replied.

“Can you give him the phone, his personal line has been taking me to voicemail all morning.” I confidently looked at Hans and walked into his cell. He had a look of panic on his face like he wasn’t sure he should let me continue with the call.

“Let me go to his office.” John said. I could imagine him actually walking all the way upstairs to Xander’s office just for effect. I wanted to giggle but I kept a straight face hoping this would work.

“Madam he is on a conference call, he says he doesn’t want to be interrupted.”

“Tell him it’s important John.” I said and smirked at Hans.

“Okay okay I believe you, hang up the call.” Hans yelled at me.”

Xander’s voice came over the phone. “Soraya, Angel?.” My breath haltered for a second.

“Hi babe, I just wanted to tell you that everything at the warehouse went well with Hans, see you later.” I smiled.

“I will see you later.” His voice was so audible. My heart was beating fast as I quickly hung up the phone.” Hans looked down like he was offering up a prayer.

“Hans just do what I’m asking you to do and when we are done I will pay you and you can go home.”

He agreed to do as he was told. Hector and I walked out of the dungeons and went back up to the warehouse entrance. Hector chuckled and stopped walking. “That was a genius idea to use an old voicemail message.” He laughed.

“It could have gone both ways.” I smiled at him. “John played his part very well.”

“Well Hans might be good at combat fighting but I doubt he has a high IQ.” Hector joked.

We discussed our next plan, briefing Dorian and Leon then I bid the men goodbye.

“I’m off to the hospital.” I said to Hector. He looked at me sympathetically and nodded. He opened the car door for me. I don’t know how many times I had listened to the voicemail from Xander but hearing his voice always made me long for him. I wanted him to wake up so badly but it was almost a week since they started the process of getting him out of the coma and he was still not awake.

I had started taking my prenatal vitamins but I didn’t want to go for an ultrasound without Xander, I remembered how he had told me that he had been excited about seeing his son on the scan when he was rushing to Hera and also he had shared that he had wished he had seen Kai’s growing stages, I wanted so badly for him to be the first with me to see our baby’s scan. I really didn’t want to go through another pregnancy by myself, I wanted to know what it felt like to have my loving husband dote on me and rub my belly or aching feet. I wanted him to experience the full pregnancy as the baby grew.

I got to the hospital and walked to his room. Simon sat there next to him reading him a newspaper.

“Hi Simon.” I greeted him.

“Dona.” Nodded his head in respect as he got up from the chair.

“Any changes?” I asked.

“No, they have completely taken him of the meds.” He explained.

“Okay, you can take your lunch break, I will sit with him for a while.” I said. He nodded and walked out.

“Xander, Kai is waiting for a call from you. You need to get up okay.” I chastised him. He couldn’t hear me but I was frustrated. Or maybe he could, Doctors said that some coma patients could hear sounds around them and the people that talked to them. “You told me that you were not going to die on me so I don’t know why you are laying in this hospital bed not waking up! You need to get up!” Tears started to run down my face.

“What am I going to say to Kai? He needs you Xander! I need you! This is hard, it’s all hard without you or Kai to ground me.” I whispered. I lay my head on the side of the bed and let the tears flow freely, I hadn’t cried since the explosion but today I just wanted to hear him speak to me and it hurt that I couldn’t just sit and talk to him and have him talk back.

After a while I took a deep breath then wiped my tears with a facial wipe. I took out my compact mirror and fixed my make up. “Remember how you told me how I had one week to return to our bedroom when we were fighting? The thought made me laugh because I was seething mad and frustrated at him at that particular time. Well I’m going to be generous and give you two weeks to get over this pity party of yours or whatever this is Adamos and you better get up or else you and I are going to have a problem.” I said to him sternly but I gently caressed his arm and got up to k**s his cheek.

Hector’s POV

The next day

Soraya insisted that she wanted a bomb expert to put an explosives vest on Hans in case he decided to double cross us. She also insisted on the three snipers and she made sure to relay this information to Hans before the bomb expert was walked in to the room. Hans looked very defeated as he saw the vest.

“I’m going to be the one holding on to the detonator so if I were you I’d be very careful about how you address me today Hans.” She said to him. “I’m not in the mood for your backchat.”

“We also placed a listening device that has a gps tracker on you, it’s undetectable unless you know what you are looking for. I doubt Paskal does.” I explained to Hans.

“Do you need any reminders about what you need to do?” She asked him.

“No, I will convince Paskal to come to the estate in two days.” Hans said quietly.

“Good, I will get your payment ready and I will tell my husband that you complied with us.” She smiled at him. “In two days after the job you will be on your way back to Germany.”

“For as long as I live, I never want to see your face again.” Hans said in a serious tone as he looked at Soraya.

“The feeling is mutual Hans, I wouldn’t bet my bottom dollar on it though.” She turned around and walked out of the warehouse.

Leon and Yannis got into the back of a black stationary van that would transport Hans to the location. Dorian and I got into the front of the van.

We had a security convoy in front of us and behind us. I had asked Soraya to go back to the house but she refused. She preferred to follow in the Maybach, she was so hands on with every thing that she set out to do. We drove to a park where we dropped Hans off, he was to walk for ten minutes to get to a cafe where he would meet Paskal.

“Remember, you try and take off the vest and it blows off instantly.” I reminded Hans. “It’s not your typical type of explosive vest.” I reiterated to him.

He was wearing a jacket to conceal the vest. We had men watching him from where he would sit at the cafe, he waited for about fifteen minutes while he sipped a cold beer then Paskal showed up in his Audi R8. He walked into the cafe arrogantly and sat across from Hans.

“So what made you so eager to do this in two days?” Paskal asked him as he also ordered his drink.

“I have another job back in Germany but I want my money Adamos, you owe me a lot of money.” He said in an irritated tone, he sounded very convincing. “I will give you the tactical team and I will help you take over but you pay me everything you owe me or else I kill you.”

Paskal laughed. “Of course I’m going to pay you, you have no idea how much money AE has. Heck I will even throw in one of our properties just so you can vacation there.” He laughed out loud.

They discussed their plans in detail before Paskal left. He didn’t suspect anything at all. I found it very stupid that he had based his entire attack plan on Hans’ men power. This just proved that he had no idea what he was doing.
