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

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

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

Tina's pov:I was in my room trying to convince Aggelos to ask Melina for more money, but he was adamant. He thought we had no right to demand more when we got so much in return when she married Venieris. That's completely preposterous. We raised this ungrateful.-"Stop insisting, Tina. I won't ask my daughter to give us more money" he said firmly.-"Why not?" I contradicted.-"Don't you think we've hurt her enough so far?" he scolded.-"How dare you tell me that? Have you completely lost your mind? We devoted our whole lives to raising her, educating her and making her a proper, sophisticated woman. We married her to the richest man in Greece! She owes us a lot, don't you think?"-"Tina, we married her with a total stranger. We literally sold her for money. She owes us absolutely nothing!" Aggelos scolded me.-"What are you talking about? If it wasn't for us, she would be on the streets now."-"Tina shut it! I can't stay here listening to your nonsense anymore! I am going at work" he

Melina's pov:I woke up with a feeling of happiness and completeness in the arms of Stavros. The warmth of his body and his intoxicating smell made it very difficult for me to get out of bed. I curled up in his arms looking at him for several minutes, mesmerized by his beauty as he slept soundly. I felt so safe in his arms. With a heavy heart I got up and headed to my room where I did my daily routine, got dressed and went downstairs. I quickly ate breakfast and went to work. I didn't expect Stavros to come down as I had a lot to do that day.I reached the office early in the morning. Later that day I had a very important meeting with some executives. I was going through some files when I heard a commotion outside. A man burst into my office with my secretary Penny shouting behind him.-"Mr. Andreadakis, where are you going? You don't have an appointment with Mrs Venieris. Please let me announce you first” came Penny's voice again as she tried to stop him.-"It's ok Penny. I will take
