Stavros' pov:I spent the next few days out of the house after our fight with Melina in the cabin. I deliberately skipped all meals and avoided seeing or talking to her. I was so angry with her. Why is she trying so hard to prove to me that she's honest when she's proven otherwise? I just don't get it. I was clear with her. I said I won't judge her past and I won't. Her insistence on showing me that she is innocent makes me furious! Why doesn't she just tell me the truth?I got home around 10pm. It was Friday night and although I had been spending the last few days with Nikos at Barracuda, today I was not in the mood. I went in and asked one of the maids to bring me a scotch to the desk. I was exhausted! I just lost a very lucrative deal and it upset me. It's the first time I've missed an opportunity. I don't know if it's because of the exhaustion or because all these days I've been thinking about our fight with Melina. In any case, she managed to disorganize me and this is not happen
Melina's pov:When I entered, I saw Stavros waiting for me in the hall with his arms crossed. I didn't want to fight so I pretended not to see him and passed him. I was heading for the stairs when he sternly asked me where I was. I was furious at his insolence! How dare he ask me such a question when he is out almost every night?Is he entitled to make a scene about where I'm going but I'm not? That's it! We argued for a while and even though I told him the truth about where I was, he didn't believe me. Furthermore, he insinuated that I was lying and cheating on him. This pissed me off! I couldn't wait to hear more. I wished him good night and went to my room. He followed behind continuing to accuse me. I tried once more to explain to him but he persisted in his point of view.I was really in despair when he did something I would never have imagined! I don't know what got into him when he kissed me passionately! My heart, my mind, my whole being was frozen as it was something I clearl
Stavros' pov:Melina, after hosting a very romantic dinner yesterday, announced to me that she wanted to try to make our relationship work. I really don't understand her. In all the time we have been married, she has never bothered to approach me or be a good wife to me. What changed? Why did she decide especially now to try to be a good wife? Was it because she got jealous when she saw me with Christine at the dance or because of my last nights out?Or is it another trick of hers to throw smoke at me so that she can be with George without anyone suspecting her? The truth is, I still have no hard evidence that she is unfaithful to me. I'll be watching her though. I want to make my marriage work. I'm in love with this woman but I don't trust her. And trust is the alpha and omega in a relationship. All she has done so far is lie to me or hide the truth from me, which are basically the same thing. She has to work hard to get me to trust her if she ever does.A few days passed where Melin
Melina's pov:After Tina left, I went upstairs and locked myself in my room. I was completely devastated by the news she brought me. Why did Stavros lie to me like that? Why did he accept my proposal in the first place since he intended to break it? Various conjectures ran through my mind trying to explain his behavior. But whatever his reasons were, he managed to hurt me deeply and that's all that matters. I had started to have hopes for us and in one fell swoop he dashed them all. My trust in him was shaken. I really don't know what to do. Should I demand an explanation or not say a word? Does he worth my honesty?When dinner time arrived, Aggeliki came up to inform me that Stavros was already in the dining room waiting for me. I was in a dilemma. On the one hand I wanted to confront him about the photo in the newspaper but on the other hand I was afraid of the consequences. But he promised me! He agreed to try to make our marriage work! After a few minutes of thought, I decided to
Melina's pov:Many days have passed since Stavros and I put all our cards on the table. I had no contact with him because of my illness. Two days after our conversation took place, I became ill with a high fever, cough and sore throat that forced me to stay in bed for a week. As Aggeliki informed me, Stavros called the doctor as soon as he was informed about my illness and since then he has never left the mansion. He canceled all his appointments and postponed his meetings while he was working from home.After several days of battling the disease, I finally felt much better, so I decided to get up from bed. All these days of keeping to myself, I've decided to give Stavros a chance. I made this decision after I saw how much he cared about me the time I was ill. I have to admit it, Stavros proved himself to me all these days. Although I never saw him in my room during my illness, I heard Aggeliki talking to one of the maids about how many nights Stavros was awake on my headrest. They we
Stavros' pov:Evening came very quickly and found me getting ready to dine with Melina. I was very happy with her decision to try to make our relationship work. I smiled to myself every time I played her words over and over in my head. I still couldn't believe the unexpected turn of events!I put on my black suit and after doing my hair I left the room. Aggeliki told me earlier that Melina would be ready in a few minutes so I went straight down to wait for her.I was smoking my cigar in the hall when Melina was about to come down stairs. She looked absolutely stunning! She wore a beautiful red dress with an open neckline and black lace patterns on it. Her hair was elegantly tied in a beautiful bun with small curls falling to the left and right of her face. Her lips were painted red and looked juicy and provocative. I couldn't wait to taste them.She descended the stairs gracefully. When she got closer, she gave me a big smile that lit up my heart. I helped her into her coat and gave h
Stavros' pov:I took her by her hand and lead her to my room. She followed me willingly and this gave me more hope. My body was burning with lust for her. Ι wanted to taste her lips and caress every bit of her body. Since the incident at the dance floor, a feeling of intense possessiveness overwhelmed me. I wanted this woman and I couldn't wait any longer. I had to take her that night! The animal inside me was screaming for dominance. It desperately wanted to claim what it was his.I grabbed her by the arms and started kissing her passionately while with my one hand I caressed her back and slowly went lower and lower. Our bodies were on fire! I couldn't hold my lust for her. I desired her. I wanted her. I slowly unbuttoned her dress until I managed to take it off her shoulders and let it fall to the floor. She was left with a cream silk petticoat which was falling gently on her curves and highlighted them. She unconsciously covered her front with her hands. I carefully removed her han
Melina's pov:I woke up around eight in the morning overwhelmed with a feeling of happiness and fulfillment. I turned to my right where Stavros was supposed to be sleeping and found no one. He was gone. My heart was filled with sadness. Did he regret what we did yesterday? Was I another conquest for him?I quickly got up, gathered all my clothes that were scattered all over the floor and left. I went back to my room and went straight to the bathroom to do my daily routine, then I got dressed and went downstairs for breakfast. Aggeliki was waiting for me in the dining room.-"Good morning my lady. Did you sleep well last night?" she asked me with a sly look. Does she know what happened yesterday? No, no she probably doesn't. Her bedroom is downstairs like all the staff's how could she hear us? However, I think today she is a little different. Maybe it's just me.-"Good morning Aggeliki, quite well thank you and you?" I replied with a smile.-"I am very glad to hear it my lady. May I s
