The Greek Billionaire’s Indecent Proposal
Chapter 63

Stacy’s POV

The day of the wedding was nearing, we had four more days before the happy couple said their “I do’s”. Sasha and I helped Soraya pack outfits for her honeymoon, she would spend a few days sailing around Mykonos on one of the Adamos yachts with Xander then he planned to fly her to the Maldives.

“Ladies I have a favour to ask.” Soraya said to us as we laughed about something the kids had done.

“What is it darling?” I was so happy that things were going so well for each of us. Nothing could dull down our moods, Sasha had become so close to us like a third sister. When Soraya was not busy at work or training with the men, we were either shopping or lounging around by the pool or spending time with the kids or the grandparents.

“Gaia has sat me down and told me that she wants to retire as Madam of the house, she wants to give the reigns to me, I cannot do this without the two of you.” She explained

“Girl you don’t even have to ask, we have your back.” Sasha beamed at her. “We understand that you are taking on a whole lot for the family so we are only too happy to help.”

I agreed with Sasha as Soraya began to tear up. “I am so lucky! To have you two as sisters and to be marrying the love of my love. All my dreams are coming true.” The tears started to roll down her face. Sasha and I ran up to her and hugged her.

“This is how it’s meant to be, we might go through weird tough times as Adamos women but when the going gets good, it’s really good!” I chuckled.

Paskal’s POV

I hadn’t expected this Circe girl to last this long, I had her tied up in a harness belt with her hands handcuffed to the side of her buttocks. She was bent over on her knees on the bed and her a*s was red and bleeding from the beating I had given her using a paddle.

She could barely speak but she was making this small sound like she was too tired to cry out, her pale beautiful skin was bruised with cigarette burn marks. I couldn’t see her face which suited me just fine, it made it easier for me to pretend she was Soraya.

“Do you want me to stop?” I asked her not really caring what the answer would be.

She shook her head, she seemed to like what I was doing to her. I had been shocked on that same day I had brought her to the penthouse when the drugs wore off and she was lucid enough…she had been brave enough to ask me to pay her for her time and her body.

She was exactly like my mother! I had doubled over laughing but part of me had been very annoyed that she had become a willing participant. I had wanted to see and smell the fear radiating from her but I needed my release and I didn’t have time to go and search for another Soraya.

She would have to do until I managed to get the real deal. The thought of Xander’s curvy wife naked on my bed gave me another hard on. I g*****d as I shoved myself into Circe only thinking about Soraya. She would be all mine soon! Everything that Xander had would all be mine soon.

This got me very excited as I began to reach my release. I would be the head of the Adamos family, a title my w***e of a mother had always wanted for me only for her benefit though. I laugh bubbled out of me as I finished off.

Soraya’s POV

In a few days, I would be getting married in front of seven hundred and fifty people. I was nervous because I would be fully immersed into a different world from one that I was used to, I would do anything for Xander though, I couldn’t bare the thought of not being with him and I knew he felt the same way about me too. Being at the office with him came naturally to me because I was used to working in corporate and I got to know different aspects of my husband, he was very interesting to watch.

To say he was an intelligent strong intellectual man who understood strategy and risk management would be an understatement, running businesses came naturally to him like breathing, he was born into this world but also he had a natural talent for it. What got to me at times was living my life in front of cameras for the whole world to see and dig into our lives that made it really hard for me because I didn’t want to mess up, I wanted to protect my family at all times but as I was reminded always… it came with being an Adamos wife.

Xander had let me spend most of my time with the ladies and the kids for the past couple of days as we got ready for the wedding. We barely saw each other as he and Hector had to make sure everything would go well in the three weeks that Xander and I would be away for our honeymoon, I couldn’t wait to have him all to myself for three whole weeks. We had even discussed the idea of making it four weeks, the thought made me feel so giddy.

In the next few days we had rehearsal dinners and meeting of the families. My father and mother’s families were being flown out to Greece! I had already met some of Xander’s Cousins at AE, it bugged me that most of the Adamos wives were comfortable with sitting on the sidelines and just letting the men take the lead with everything. Not that there was anything wrong with that but I wanted to introduce the idea that as women we could do more should we ever want to. Xander had joked about me starting a revolution but maybe it was necessary because we were not fragile women. Our men were running an empire and we were their support structures, heck! We were forces to be reconned with!

The ladies and I finished packing up and we went downstairs for lunch. The kids were with us, Gaia and the men had decided they were much more comfortable with having the kids home schooled for now so tutors were driven in and out of the estate. I could tell that Kai missed playing soccer and being a Boy Scout but he had a lot of fun teaching his cousins about all that he had learned. Gaia made sure the kids got tennis lessons, horse riding lessons, they learnt how to take care of their own horses and even though they could swim they still had swimming lessons and challenges. Ajana had asked me if she could take archery lessons like one of her favourite characters in a Disney movie she liked, I couldn’t help but indulge her fighting spirit. I felt like it was part of her healing process.

Like his father, Kai excelled at a lot of the new things he learned. Jovan struggled a little but his cousins were always there to encourage him and cheer him on.

Xander was also starting to understand that as much as he wanted Kai and Ajana to be happy children who had access to everything they could possibly want, we were not trying to raise irresponsible children who had entitlement issues so we gave them responsibilities and it was okay to say no to some of their requests no matter how easy it was to give in.

My dad’s cancer had gone into remission so he was up and about. He usually would indulge the kids once in a while by taking them camping on the grounds when they were not having their lessons or he would teach them some arts and crafts like making go carts out of left over wood from some renovations and a few things that John would order for projects around the estate.

“Everything is all set for the wedding, your wedding gown and extra dress will be delivered today with the bridesmaids dresses. The kids outfits were delivered yesterday, the mens suits will arrive tomorrow, we are going to be leaving for Mykonos tomorrow evening.” Gaia beamed as we settled in for lunch.

“I don’t think words are adequate enough to thank all of you for everything that you have done, the roles you have played.” I smiled at them all. “So I am learning to accept that the Adamos way of saying thank you is by spending a little money to accompany my heartfelt thank you.” I smiled as Helga walked in with a trolley of gifts I had gotten for all the women

I had gotten my mother, Gaia and Dimitria neck pieces from Lauraine Schwartz that were specifically designed for each of them and I had gotten Stacy and Sasha earrings also from Lauraine Schwartz, all the ladies also received Cartier bracelets.

Stacy squealed in excitement making the other women laugh. “Now she gets it! If you can’t beat them join them.” She laughed. Everyone was happy with their gifts.

I got the men Baguette diamond pentagon cufflinks from Jacob & Co, Xander’s were different from everyone else’s because I wanted them personalised and special to mark our wedding day. I couldn’t wait to give them to him.

That evening I fell asleep waiting for Xander, the moment my head hit the pillow I was plagued by terrible nightmares.

I kept dreaming that Michail was still alive and trying to kill Xander then at some point he managed to plunge a knife into his abdomen. Then the dream changed and I dreamt that Paskal was the one trying to kill Xander, he was laughing like a maniac as he stood over Xander’s lifeless body stabbing him over and over again. He looked up at me with an evil smile on his face, he reminded me of the joker from Batman as he quoted his famous line… ‘why so serious’ before he erupted into fits of laughter.

I ran up to him and pushed him of Xander trying to cover his stab wounds but there was just so much b***d everywhere. B***d on his clothes, b***d on my hands, Paskal’s laughter ringing in my ears as I cried out for Xander to open his eyes, for him to wake up but he just lay there dying.

Xander POV

I’d spent all day making sure that every single person would be taking their role seriously at the wedding, yes it would be a festive day but not only would we be responsible for our family members safety but also the safety of lot of other families all over Europe that would be coming to celebrate with us so our security had to be indestructible.

I was exhausted but the thought of wrapping my arms around my wife tonight had given me comfort all day. I rushed up the stairs taking them two at time, when I entered the bedroom door I was surprised to hear crying coming from the bed. I rushed forward to see Soraya crying in her sleep as she clenched her fists, her body looked like she was stuck in some sort of spasm.

“Angel, sweetheart wake up.” I lifted her head to my arm and gently shook her. “Soraya, Angel, wake up.” I called out to her.

“No,no,no…” she cried out with her eyes still shut. “Xander…”

“I’m here my love, open your eyes..” I kissed her on the forehead and shook her gently again until her eyes flew open. She looked distressed as she scanned her eyes around her surroundings then finally looked at me and flew into my arms.

“Xander…” she sobbed.

“Tell me, what happened.” I hugged her tightly as I rubbed her back.

“You were dying.” She cried hard as I rubbed her back. “Xander you were dying, you can’t leave me.”

“I’m not going anywhere Angel, I’m here okay? I promise.” I continued to k**s her as I comforted her. Finally when she had calmed down she explained her dream to me calmly.

“I have a bad feeling just like I had one before the gala Xander.” She whispered with so much fear in her voice.

“The art of war teaches us to prepare, if something does come we will be ready for it okay?” I manoeuvred her so that she was sitting on my lap as I cradled her on my chest. “Soraya I’m not going anywhere, they’re going to have to pry me away from you and Kai because nothing would ever make me leave you willingly.” I said softly as I caressed her arms and kissed her. She kissed me back and put her arms around my neck.

“I love hearing your heartbeat, it’s my favourite soundtrack.” She whispered to me. I couldn’t help but smile. I sighed and kissed her again.

“Tell me how is it that only your love can do this to me and no one else’s can.” I looked into her eyes.

“Because I’m your temptress, I put a spell on you.” I threw my head back and laughed as she said this. “You’re mine.”

She was okay now as she smiled shyly at me. I shifted so that we both were on the bed, her back was to me as I spooned her. She tangled her legs to mine and she settled, her body felt calm next to mine. It wasn’t too long before she fell right back to sleep, her breathing light and her heartbeat steady. Her breathing was my soundtrack, as long as i could hear her next to me I knew that I’d fall asleep eventually no matter how troubled I was.
