The Greek Billionaire’s Indecent Proposal
Chapter 54

Xander’s POV

I looked at him dead in the yes, he had a smug look on his face, his voice dripping of authority.

I pushed both kids behind me as Soraya stood by my side, my gun was in my holster and Soraya’s was tucked inside her denims by the back of her waist. This was not good, I had to make the first move and make it count.

“What do you mean give you the boy?” I asked him.

“I want the boy, he is Hera’s son.” Michail yelled petulantly.

I frowned at him, was this some kind of joke. “Michail Hera’s son died with her. We buried her with the baby still inside her. “ I reminded him.

“I know that son! Don’t patronise me Xander! Kai should have been Hera’s!” He is Hera’s!”

Clearly we were going to go back and forth with this argument. The man was losing his mind. The last thing I wanted was to decimate the memory of my late wife by killing her father but he wasn’t giving me a choice.

“Take the boy!” He commanded the two men and they walked towards us. I lunged forward at the one man, throwing my weight heavily on him as I quickly grabbed the pocket knife out of my pocket and made two quick stabs on the side of his neck, I landed on him as he fell. He made a gurgling sound as his body started to writhe, he tried to cover the holes with one of his hands. His gun had been between us but went limp in his hand before he could fire. The other man pointed one of his guns at me and fired, I was hit hard on the side of my abdomen , the impact made me g***n as I stayed on the ground trying to breathe. Soraya and the kids screamed, Kai ran towards me but Michail grabbed him. Soraya used the chance to attack the guy with the gun, I couldn’t see her as I tried hard to focus my eyes. The bullet had hit my bullet proof vest but they didn’t know that, Soraya was screaming at the man as she fought him. I tried to compose myself, forcing myself to breathe.

I could hear Michail walk out with Kai screaming. I opened my eyes to see Soraya in a struggle with the other man. Ajana who was now crying ran towards the exit. I grabbed my gun from the holster, trying to get a good aim so that I could shoot the guy fighting Soraya. She somehow managed to pin him to the ground and used his own gun to fire into his abdomen, she had grabbed his sub machine gun, pressing the trigger. The man’s body vibrated as she fired into him then he lay still on the ground.

Soraya got up and ran towards me. “I’m fine, The kids, we need to get the kids!” I revealed the vest underneath my shirt and she helped me to get up. As we ran out of the office we saw Michail struggling to carry Kai, he was kicking and screaming and scratching at Michail’s face. Ajana had her arms wrapped around the side of his one leg and she bit into his thigh causing him to yell and curse.

“Let my brother go!” She screamed and bit him again. He yelled in pain once more and tried to kick her off but she held on tight. Soraya and I looked at each other in amazement. If the situation wasn’t quite a serious one it would be a really funny scene.

Kai kept scratching at him and kicking his little feet. Michail eventually let go and Kai fell to the ground. Michail tried to get Ajana to let go but Kai got up and rammed into him making him stagger backwards. Ajana let go as he fell to the ground. Kai grabbed Ajana’s hand and they ran towards us.

Both Soraya and I ran forward and pointed the submachine guns we had taken from his men at him. Kai took Ajana’s hand and came and stood behind us.

I took his gun from him. “Get up Michail!” I growled at him.

Soraya’s POV

Watching Michail laying pathetically on the on the ground, I just wanted to kick him and beat him to a pulp. I knew Xander wouldn’t shoot him in front of the kids.

“Basil will come for you.” He laughed like he had lost his mind.

“I’m going to end your entire bloodline” Xander said coldly. I knew he wasn’t lying when I looked at him.

Just as he got up, Hector showed up with more men.

“Hector take Soraya and the kids to the safe room while I clean up” he didn’t sound like my Xander. His emotions were void as he continued to stare at Michail, his eyes were flat, his irises appeared dark because his pupils were so dilated.

“Take the kids, I’ll stay.” I said.

“Soraya, go! Now!” He snarled.

“Xander…” I was about speak when he turned to look at me and I shivered completely shutting up.

Hector shook his head and signalled for me to follow him. I took the kids hands and reluctantly walked away. As we walked towards the house with men surrounding the kids and I, I saw men laying on the ground. I was glad that the kids were surrounded so they couldn’t see much. It was getting dark, I wondered how my parents were fairing in the safe room. My father would not be impressed by this at all.

“He’s going to be okay you know.” Hector interrupted my thoughts.

“He didn’t sound like himself.” I said quietly.

“He’s about to do something I don’t think I would have the guts to do Soraya. This is what makes Xander dangerous. Don’t question him about it because he won’t be able to tell you about it.”

I sighed heavily, I don’t know why but I could feel the burden that he carried right now.

When we got to the safe room, I saw my dad’s face change from worry to relief. My mom got up and ran towards me, I had forgotten that during the fighting I got beaten up and the bruising was probably starting to show. I probably also had bruises on my neck from when the guy choked me. My mom inspected me as tears ran down her cheeks.

“I’m fine mom, you should see the other guy.” I joked.

She knelt down to inspect the kids. Gaia walked towards us and hugged me tightly. Hector was with Stacy, holding her tightly as she cried. His mom walked up to them and hugged them both.

“I think everyone is fine, I saw Dorian on our way here.” I said to Sasha. “Simon has been rushed to the hospital.” I added quietly.

Hector made sure we were all fine before he left, closing the safe room behind him.

Xander’s POV

“Why don’t you just kill me and get it over and done with since you plan to kill my entire family? Can’t do it can you?”

I watched him try to taunt me, I could see fear in his eyes even though he tried to hide it very well. “Your children always have to pay for your sins Michail. Hera paid for your sins and now Basil will too.” I said quietly.

“You will be doing me a favour, the boy doesn’t know how to run anything. He is useless just like his mother, I would have taught your son everything, he would have taken over from me.”

“If you had wanted a merger with the two families, all you had to do was ask me.”

“Don’t kill my son, teach him how to become like you.” His look went from arrogant to a pleading look.

“If I take him under my wing and teach him he will plot against me just like you did, I’m going to kill him. You have yourself to blame for that.”

I went closer to him but didn’t notice that he had soil in his hand which he flicked into my face. Particles of it went into my eyes as I g*****d. He launched at me trying to grab the gun from me. We both fought to get control of the gun as he pushed my finger away from the trigger.

I blinked my eyes a couple of times trying to clear them, my vision was blurry as my eyes teared up but I managed to see a little. I head butted him very hard and he staggered backwards, he threw himself at me but I ducked. His big burly body fell to the ground.

I was still trying to blink some of the soil particles out of my eyes as I approached him. He was trying to get up but I kicked him hard on the side of his abdomen. He g*****d but I proceeded to kick him again and again.

He growled in pain as he yelled for me to just kill him. I threw the gun on the ground and grabbed him by his collar, my fists pummelled into his head over and over again. I couldn’t stop myself as the rage poured out of me, I just kept punching until his body went limp and fell to the ground. When he hit the floor I carried on kicking him, a big sob escaped my mouth as I thought of Hera.

“Xander! Xander stop! I think he’s dead.” Hector tried to pull me away from his body.

I just kept kicking over and over again. “Xander he’s gone.” Hector shoved me backwards.

Hector’s POV

“If I don’t kill Basil then I’ll be putting our family in more danger.” Xander calmed himself.

“Let me do it for you.” I said quietly. “I know this is hard for you.”

“That’s the thing Hector, it’s not. I’ll do anything to make sure that this never happens again and if that means killing Hera’s brother and Michail’s entire b***d line then I will.” His icy look was back on his face. “Even if it makes me a bad person.”

“You don’t have to do it yourself, Dorian and I will take care of it.” I insisted.

“If I could watch Joud take Sofija’s life and feel nothing, do you think this is going to bother me? Let’s go!”

We helped the guards load bodies into a big van, Dorian had already called a forensics team to start with cleaning up the grounds.

The security team scoured the entire estate making sure all threats were eliminated. Xander put up more security at the house then ordered Dorian and I to get two teams ready to go to Michail’s estate.

“No one lives!” He reiterated this again. “You let someone live, it will come back to haunt you years later.” And just like that we left.

Soraya’s POV

John came to get us out of the safe room just as teams or forensic people were leaving the grounds. I ran out to go and look for Xander but he was gone. It was the middle of the night and everyone was being led to their bedrooms. I would not be able to sleep until Xander was back home safe. I watched the nannies carry the sleeping kids up to the bedrooms, Stacy came to stand beside me as she cradled her stomach.

“I understand why you wanted to learn how to fight, it’s quite scary sitting in there waiting. Not knowing what’s going on outside.” She said.

“I killed two men today…” I could feel my eyes watering as I sank down to sit by the stairs. “I don’t know how I’m supposed to feel about it. I mean I was protecting my life and the kids lives so I had no choice, it was either them or us.” I sighed.

“It was a necessary evil Raya, don’t beat yourself up about it, like you said it was either you or them.” She sat next to me and put her arm around my shoulders, pulling me closer to her.

“Stacy I don’t feel guilty about it, I really don’t. Does that make me a bad person? I’d do it again, given the chance.” I looked at my hands like they had b***d on them.

Stacy just sat there silently then she pulled me into a hug and rubbed my back. “Let’s go to bed, I’m going to give you a Xanax, you need to sleep.”

“No, I want to wait for Xander, he didn’t look okay, I have to wait for him.” I argued.

“Okay but you should take a shower.” She said. “We will sit and wait together.”
