The Greek Billionaire’s Indecent Proposal
Chapter 71

Soraya’s POV

It had been two weeks since the explosion and Paskal had still not shown up. I kept wondering what he was planning, would he straight up attack the estate when he realised that Xander actually had an heir which meant he couldn’t take over anything.

The first week he had stayed at a lodge while he healed from his wounds but then he took a flight back to Italy, he didn’t meet anyone at all. He stayed indoors with a woman he had met at the lodge. I had instructed Dorian to fly to Italy while Paskal was still in Mykonos to bug his entire house so that we could listen to the calls he made.

Dorian had brought back pictures of the dungeon he had found in the basement. Hector explained to us that Paskal had used it to torture his own mother before he killed her. If he could do that to his own mother, what would he do to Kai if he ever got his hands on him. It made me shudder.

I was laying in bed looking at Xander’s side of the bed, the bed felt so big without him, so cold because he wasn’t there to cuddle me and hold me close. Leaving him at the hospital was very tough for me, working a full work day then rushing to him was strenuous but I wouldn’t have it any other way, I had to be close to him.

I had instructed the nurses that I was the only one allowed to bathe my husband so I would go there every morning for two hours before work and every night after knocking off, I would stay until quite late. Sometimes I would take work to the hospital with me, I’d sit there and read reports to him while I talked to him and pretend to discuss the decisions I had to make and what the outcomes would be.

‘Time to wake up Soraya, you can do this’ I coaxed myself out of bed. As I was showering I suddenly felt faint, I held on to the wall to steady myself. I closed my eyes and breathed in and out, was I taking on way more than I could handle? I felt like I was doing very well. There were times when Iris would have to remind me to eat breakfast and Helga would pack me supper to have at the hospital but I was coping, I had to.

Hector was true to his word, he would sit with me and explain how everything worked. None of our business contacts and associates new that Xander was currently out of commission, meetings were held over conference calls and Hector would always tell them Xander was held up in a prior engagement. It didn’t make sense to tell them that he was on his honeymoon when they were dealing with me.

Some of them would test my patience by trying to point out facts that I was a woman in a mans world but I made it a point to show them that I was just as ruthless as my husband. Hector had been right when he said it was like I was channeling Xander, all the things he had taught me, how he reacted to situations and the stories about his father, I reminded myself that I had to carry that with me because they would eat me alive out there.

I got out of the shower and dried my body with a plush white towel, I felt the dizzy spell coming on again. I walked to the bedroom and sat on the bed. I was starting to get freaked out by this until I started heaving. I ran back to the bathroom and stood over the toilet bowl while I gagged. I knew exactly what was wrong with me, I was pregnant.

I massaged my body with body butter then got dressed in a pair of light grey pinstriped tailored trousers, I chose a white tank top looking kind of blouse to tuck into the trousers and grabbed a double button blazer that matched the pants. I loved wearing Christian Louboutin shoes or Prada, I felt like they made me walk with purpose, today I chose Prada. I looked at my reflection in the mirror as I spritzed Xander’s favourite scent on and thought of what Xander would say, he definitely would love this outfit.

When I got to Xander’s room at the hospital I found one of his doctors assessing him, Simon was standing right next to him.

“Mrs Adamos,” the doctor smiled at me. “The swelling on his brain seems to have gone down, I would like to send him for an MRI test then we can decide whether we should take him out of the induced coma or wait a little longer. There doesn’t seem to be any damage done to the brain but the scan should tell us more.”

“That’s very good news, when would you like to do the test?”

“Today, this morning if that’s okay with you, we can wait until later for the second part.” As much as he was smiling he still had a weary look on his face.

“It’s fine with me, but Simon goes everywhere my husband goes at all times.” I reminded him as I acknowledged Simon.

The doctor left, I walked towards the bed and kissed Xander. His face was healing very well, he almost looked like himself again.

“Dona, there’s nothing to report today. We had a quiet night.” Simon let me know.

“Thanks Simon, hopefully after they take him out of the coma he will wake up.” I turned to look at Xander. I heard Simon leave the room to give us some privacy.

“Hey baby, did you hear what the doc said?” I kissed him again. “You have to wake up okay? I have something to share with you, I think I’m pregnant.” I spoke to him gently as I caressed his arm.

“We are having a baby Xander, I don’t want to go through this alone again. Come back to me.”

As I said this another doctor walked in with a nurse.

“Mrs Adamos its time to take him for the tests.” He announced.

“Alright but I have a question to ask, I need a pregnancy test done. Where do I go?”

The doctor instructed the nurse to guide me to where I needed to go while they took Xander for his tests.

“You should have the results by this afternoon.” The nurse informed me when we were done drawing b***d. I thanked her then went back upstairs to Xander’s room to wait for him.

Paskal’s POV

I watched as the cute little nurse walked around the kitchen in nothing but her underwear and bra as she made us breakfast. At the first chance I gave her, Eleni had skipped out on her own father and run off with me. It served me well considering the fact that Greta was a traitor and had left me.

I could see that she was probably picturing herself as the madam of the house thinking I was going to marry her. I had my own plans, as soon as I was ready to go back to Greece I would send her back home, she wasn’t even a good lay. She was kinky for sure but all she did was make loud noises and she didn’t even enjoy my type of s*x, the kind that involved pain.

“I need to make a call.” I said to her. “I’ll be upstairs.”

“Don’t take too long or the food will get cold.” She beamed at me.

When I was upstairs I took out my phone and dialled an old German contact. “Hey Hans, you free to talk?” I asked him as soon as he answered.

“What do you want Adamos? You still owe me a lot of money.” He snarled over the phone.

“And I plan to pay you back, in fact this next job I have for you will ensure that I pay you back three folds with interest.” I had to bribe him with money, he always fell for it.

“I’m listening…” he said.

“I need a tactical team, the best that you have. I have a huge job for you.”

“Who is your target?” He chuckled. “Do you even have serious enemies Adamos, you are a small fish in the sea.”

“I’m going to take over the Adamos empire, you know my brother Xander Adamos right?”

“Everyone knows him, you want to kill your own brother?” He sounded shocked.

“I have already killed him, now I want to finish the job by taking out the rest of his lapdogs.” I couldn’t help but smile as I said this.

“Xander Adamos can’t be dead, the news would be out there by now.” He countered me.

“I’m telling you I blew him up, are you going to help me or not?” I was getting irritated.

“Fine, why don’t we set up a meeting first and we can discuss this. Maybe you can show me the proof that Xander is dead.”

“We can meet in Greece in a week’s time? I will call you back with more information.” I said. He agreed then we hung up. Anyone that didn’t accept me as their new leader would die, I would replace the entire security team with my own.

Hector’s POV

“We got him, he plans to come here in a week’s time to take over.” Dorian informed me. “He is trying to get man power, Hans Kraus.”

“Hans would never go against Xander, not even for a high pay.” I laughed.

“Not unless he thinks Xander is dead.” Dorian added.

Soraya walked in to my office with Iris on her heel. “Iris i need you to cancel the rest of my appointments for today.” She said. She looked a little tired though like she needed a little rest. She dismissed Iris then sat next to Dorian in front of my desk.

“Who is Hans Kraus?” She asked, always getting straight down to business.

“Hired soldier with a very good tactical team, Paskal plans to come back to Greece in a week. I explained to her.

“Well then let’s give him a show and Hector get this Hans to come to Greece before he meets with Paskal, we are going to offer him a better deal.” She said.

“I’m on it but we have a slight issue, he will want to deal with Xander plus he is a misogynist Soraya.”

“That doesn’t worry me, arrange the meeting.” She said. “I have to go back to the hospital, they are thinking of taking Xander out of the induced coma.”

“That’s great, I will come with you.” I smiled at her. She nodded then got up to walk out. “I’ll meet you there.”

“Soraya.” I called out.

“Have you had something to eat today? You can’t run an empire if you are also out of commission you know.”

“Helga will have my supper delivered to the hospital.” She smiled.

“That’s hours away, I’m taking you down to the cafeteria. At least have a sandwich.” I insisted as I stood up.

She hesitated but I frowned at her and shook my head. “Soraya Xander will kill me if he replaces out I wasn’t taking good care of you.”

“Okay fine, let’s go.” She gestured out the door.

“Soraya’s POV

“So we are going to gradually withdraw the drugs while monitoring brain activity and other vital signs. It can take from a day up to a week for a patient to wake up from a medically induced coma.” The doctors explained to me

I was disappointed that Xander would not be waking up immediately but I kept a poker face on and nodded.

After the doctors did what they needed to do, they left Hector and I just sitting there. I wanted to share with Hector that I was pregnant and had confirmed it today but I knew that once I did he would always want to shield me and treat me like I was breakable so I kept it to myself. Besides I wanted Xander to be the first one I told.

“How is Stacy doing? I haven’t spoken to her since she left.” I asked him.

“She says that they are okay but she really wants to come back home. Kai is also not enjoying himself there, he keeps asking to call you and Xander but everyone keeps telling him that you are busy.”

I sighed heavily. “Soon they will be able to come back home.”

We talked a little more before he left for the house, I think he could sense I wanted to be alone with Xander. Simon brought in a basket from Helga that had my lunch, when I opened it I smiled. Helga was such a dear, the same tonic she made for Stacy was in there with a little note. ‘Your eating habits speaks volume Madam.’

The next morning at the offices Hector came into my office.

“We are going to need Joud to track Hans just in case he doesn’t want to deal with us.” I explained to Hector. “If he doesn’t show up for the set meeting then we take him by force.”

Hector looked at me like I had gone crazy. “Soraya that will definitely start a war, he has a bad a*s tactical team.” He argued.

“We have one too don’t we, in fact we have more than one.” I said.

“Let’s just focus on getting him here first.” He said gently.

“But prepare to take strong measures. I won’t have us looking weak, I’m not about to make him think that we actually need him because he seems like the type to double cross us.” I explained.

I needed Paskal to think he had that tactical team which meant I had to convince Hans that he would benefit better working for us but still make Paskal think he was with him. I explained this to Hector.

“Paskal is very arrogant and he actually thinks that he is fit to take over. Let him come and let him think he has taken over. I plan to tear him apart.” I couldn’t help but smile as I said this.

“I think you are enjoying this a little too much.” Hector chuckled.

“I will not even lie to you Hector I can’t wait to have him in the warehouse, I am going to enjoy torturing that bastard.

Hector’s POV

A few day later, Dorian and I had managed to get a meeting with Hans.

“So there’s a little rumour that I heard, can you confirm it?” Hans had a look of amazement on his face as he said this. His German accent quite thick with every syllable that left his mouth. We were sitting in one of the boardrooms at Adamos Enterprise. Hans was tall and buff with typical blonde hair and green eyes, looking at him I would expect any kind of soldier to look like him. “I heard that Xander Adamos is dead.”

“Why do you think you are here, Xander knows that you are planning to make a move on him with Paskal, you should know him better than that Hans.” I chuckled as the expression on his face changed from surprise then fear.

“I would never do that, you know that ever since I faced him in El Salvador and lost I would not go up against him again, I lost eighty percent of my men that day.” He had a look of worry on his face like he expected Xander to walk in at any moment.

“Then why are you meeting with Paskal?” Soraya walked in and smiled at him but the smile didn’t quite reach her eyes. Her voice was intimidating and in control.

“Who are you?” Hans looked at her and frowned. “You let all your secretaries butt into your affairs like this one.” He looked at me and gestured towards her.

“I’m Soraya Adamos, Why are you making plans with Paskal to destroy my husband’s empire.” She looked at him like she was stalking her prey savouring the moment before she prepared to pounce on him.

Hans chuckled and sat back on his chair. “Lady, you are questioning me like you are in charge, I don’t deal with women.” He looked at me and pointed to her. “Adamos, it seems your women don’t know their place, you should be in the kitchen cooking your husband a meal and waiting for him to f**k your brains out in bed.” He looked right back at her and laughed.

She smiled at him and laughed too. “You really are a male chauvinist. Listen here Hans…” she walked up to the head of the table and sat down, looking him directly in the eyes. “I’m going to give you a better deal, if you don’t take it I’m going to kill you for disrespecting me and my husband but not before I torture you first, maybe burn your perfectly symmetrical handsome face on my stove in that kitchen that you seem to think I belong in.” She laughed again making him doubt himself.

“Where’s Xander?” He asked nervously.

“You know during pillow talk? I convince him to let me take charge sometimes, we are kinky like that you know.” She said sneering at him then replacing the sneer with a serious look on her face. “He doesn’t like you very much so he let me deal with you. You are lucky you are dealing with me, I’m trying to be nice to you by throwing you a life line. He was just going to go right ahead and kill you.”

He looked at me and I followed her lead by shrugging my shoulders and nodding my head to agree with her.

“How about I just let Xander and Paskal fight it out and I stay out of this sibling rivalry?” Hans said and smiled.

“It doesn’t work like that, you don’t make plans to make moves on to my territory and then back down and think I’m just going to let it go.” She banged the table.

“b***h I don’t even know you, you think you scare me? I put women like you in their places every single day.” He roared out in laughter.

“Take him to the warehouse.” Soraya didn’t bat an eyelash, she smiled and got up from her seat to walk away.

“You think I would come here unprepared, my men are standing outside waiting to break into this building.” He said arrogantly.

She signalled for Iris who suddenly appeared out of nowhere to come in, in her hands she had a tablet with her. She gave it to Soraya.

“Are you talking about these men?” She pressed play on a video and Hans’ face assumed an expression of shock. “My men apprehended them the moment you walked into the elevator. The choice is yours Hans, you can carry on disrespecting me and I send you to my warehouse to torture you and trust me I will enjoy it or you do what I tell you and you get paid and you go back to Germany with your apprehended men. Your choice.”

“I will give you some time to think about it in the warehouse.” She added. “That one is for calling me a bitch.” Her smile was menacing. “Take him.” She said to Yannis and Leon who had been standing there quietly then she walked out.

“I should have warned you about her, she is like the female version of Xander, quite scary.” I said to him and chuckled as Yannis and Leon cuffed his legs and hands. He didn’t fight them even though he would have had the upper hand because he knew that he wouldn’t get far without his men.

I was quite impressed with Soraya, she didn’t flinch or look worried or hesitate at all. If only Xander could see her.
