Laurel’s P.O.V.Is it possible for one to die of embarrassment!Or full on heart break?She had never considered seriously the idea that a person could die of embarrassment. But from where she was crouched currently, dressed in nothing but a black leather bodysuit, watching her boyfriend laying another woman down onto the bed, she was sure that she was close.And that, perhaps, should have been the first clue that it was actually a good thing that Hermes was cheating on her. Really, she should’ve known.She should have known that whatever patience he seemed to have for her desire to wait, he would not defer his own pleasure endlessly. She should have known he didn’t actually love her quite so much.And Laurel had always wondered why he’d been with her. She had always wondered why he was interested in her. She had met him when she was waitressing at a bar and she had been shocked when he’d approached her. He was tall and beautiful with arresting dark eyes and an easy smile. His Greek a
Laurel's P.O.V.The word shocked, disappointed and Preplexed can't even begin to describe how Laurel feels right now!Laurel felt like she was made of stone, and she’d said these four words countless times in the past few weeks. Now here she was, standing in the great corridor of the massive Vasilakis home all decorated in black, the gloomy atmosphere making me feel faint.She said it to herself. The staff was walking around brusquely, Herme's mother had taken to her bed, his father was in his study.Zion was...As if her thoughts had conjured him he appeared, dressed all in black, as she was, his dark hair brushed back off his forehead, his eyes like chips of obsidian, glinting in the dim light.“You came?” he says with a surprised look plastered on his face. Which is a first since he was the type not to show his emotions on his face.“Of course.”I say, thanking the gods my voice didn't tremble nor shake the way i was shaking inside like a leaf.“My parents will be glad.”He murmurs.“
Laurel's P.O.VAll the bones in her body were screaming the word "No"!She knew whatever was going to happen will be yet another terrible Reoccurrence!With their history together she doubts this was just a simple ride home, she knew going with him was a mistake. He wasn’t just going to give her a ride home.Or maybe he was. But considering their history together he wasn’t going to simply drop her and leave her and this was something she knew, something she knew innately now because she’d crossed that threshold from innocent to woman who knew now.The question now is does she have the power to deny him! Could she say no to him?Few minutes later they arrived at her place he did drive her home without saying a word.“My apartment is quite small compared to what you're used to,”She says as soon as they were out on the sidewalk.But her words were cut off by his kiss. Hard and dark and she wanted to weep because this was what she’d needed all day.She knew it was shameful, she knew this w
Few months later....Zion's P.O.V."Have you seen this?”His father loud voice resonates loudly in his study as he breezes in like he owned the damn place. Well he did technically!He slammed the magazine brochure on his desk, just as he was about to engage in another heated banter like he had been doing his eyes caught the headlines on the Hot Gossip section and his blood ran cold.“The Late Hermes Vasilakis Lover Tries to Hide Baby Bump"He was taken aback "This can't be true"He murmurs to his father but his father looked so happy and excited and all Zion felt was stillness.. Zion was frozen, For one moment, he had seen her and he’d forgotten. Everything. That she had been Hermes and that she was not only his.And he had possessed her even if it was just a night or two!For just a moment a sense of total possessiveness had drowned out everything. There, she was pregnant looking confused and devastated!Is she okay?And that night of the funeral loomed large in his mind. His hands on
Laurel's P.O.V.She had to let him in, she was so dumbfounded by what Zion had just said.."So you were pregnant with Hermès baby and you refused to say a word nor inform his family about it"Zion says angrily, She had never seen him this angry before.His brother’s child?Is that what he thought this is?But surely he knew...She looked up at his face, and it was clear that he didn’t know. "You're coming with me”He says."My parents were thrilled when they found out you were pregnant and now they want you home"He says sternly.."Home?"She stutters..."But this is my home..."She says preplexed and shocked, her world was literally reeling."We saw the news article about you"He continues to say, suddenly all his words seems so rushed. Aurora could barely understand what was going on.“An article?, What article?“It was in the tabloids just yesterday.”He replies, suddenly his facial expression changed from anger to worry. Probably he noticed how white faced she was looking now.“So you h
Zion's P.O.V.Zion knew he should let the man see to his business, but he could not help himself. He wished to be in the room. He wished to be there to hear everything. And he told himself it was a necessity. A responsibility. One that his parents had left to him. Along with the innumerable other responsibilities that fell in his lap.The business, everything else.But he just wanted to be there. That was the truth of it.When he led the man up to the room, along with the nurse, and the ultrasound equipment, and knocked, it took a while for him to get a response.And then when he did, he could not hide his reaction. Not even in front of the doctor.Because when Laurel answered the door, she was bright red and scrubbed clean, as if she had been in a warm bath. And she was wearing nothing but a white robe.When she saw him, her eyes widened. “Oh.”“The doctor’s here,” he said.“All right.” She blinked. “I see.”“Do not worry, child,” the doctor said. “I have a great amount of experience
Laurel’s P.O.V.She could feel and see the fear and strong sense of duty in his eyes.Suddenly she felt claustrophobic, Morgan was in shock for the rest of the evening.Was this a blessing or a curse?She had tried to avoid the fate of being a single mum and so she preserved her virginity until marriage but then just one mistake, just one occurrence she allowed herself indulge in brought her into this mess!She can't even call it a triangle because everything is so freaking messed up, Hermes was the nation beloved Billionaire Boy, the influence he had even in death no one could compare. Now all just for one mistakes she's involved in this cluster of a mess.What will people think of her when they find out the child was for Zion Vasilakis and not Hermes Vasilakis.To top it all they had had a very public relationship and she had tried not to mind it because she was so Inlove and grateful for the fact that a man like Hermes could date someone like her, imagine what the world would think
Laurel's P.O.V.Laurel's world has been titling sideways and out of her control.Zion is practically in control now!When they arrived in Greece it had been dark, they had hopped on the Vasilakis private airplane and she hadn't even mind because she needed peace and quiet while she thought of her way of escape.During the flight he had instructed her to try and sleep and she was well attended to by the air hostess on board. It surprised her that she had managed to sleep. Given the time change, and the fact that she was so uncomfortable because of the pregnancy.After their long and rigorous flight they arrived at the family Vila, she was directed to a room to rest up and Laurel didn't say a word because she needed even more sleep.When she woke the next morning, she took in the beauty of the villa for the first time. It was quiet the sight. It looked so exquisitely ancient and yet expensive. She couldn't even count the amount of statues that were beautiful structured in the estate.Ev
