Blair MonoreYou must be Blair. It’s so lovely to see you in person. By the way you look way more lovelier in real life than in those pictures on magazines.Blair stood at the door and suddenly wished very much that she didn’t have to do this. But, she didn’t really have much of a choice. This had to happen. She promised him a wedding and a wedding he shall have.“Yes, I’m Blair,” she said, forcing herself to smile as she opened the door a little wider. “Please come in. You're Addison right?” The wedding planner“That’s me"the woman chirped with an excited look on her face.She wore a smart body suit. Her makeup was perfect. Her hair was perfect. Unlike her who wasn't. Was she expected to be prim and perfect all the time?"Am here to help you get the perfect scenario for your wedding and congratulations once again Ma'am"Addison says smiling.Blair mustered a thank you but was still feeling incredibly awkward, even since Zeke had placed the ring on her finger things had been slightly d
Blair Monore After the wedding planners visit Blair left for her doctor's appointment. Yes zeke still hasn't heard about the pregnancy. As strange as it is Blair has been hesitant on telling Zeke the good news because she knew he would only make it public and the fear of having a miscarriage just after he confirms the news to the press or the pregnancy test kit being wrong. Blair wants to be sure the baby was healthy and well. The drive to the hospital took at least half an hour, she was now a big celebrity. Her face on magazines, newspapers , advertise and even billboard. She couldn't afford going to a hospital and getting photographed. Now that would be the worst way Zeke could find out about his baby. Blair decides to go out of the city to a small clinic she had gone to once. It was low profile and mostly only elderly people went there at least that way she could do her business in peace. She knew she could save herself the stress by telling Zeke the truth and someone like him wo
Zeke ArmaniEverything had gone the way he had planned it all. From getting Blair to play his fake girlfriend and now Fiance he's reaping the results of his master plan. Work has been good, the shareholders, board of directors even his employees see him in a new light. He could see the new found Respect In their eyes and even a hint of jealousy. He guessed his life was every man's envy. Sales were up triple the amount, more stockholders, their newly launched Jewelry Brand sold out during the launch party and the sales as the massive. Stocks were up. The investors were happy. The board of directors were also happy. There was no talk of replacing him anymore..He was happy with the results too, Plus, he was planning on taking Blair out to dinner tonight. He knew this amazing little restaurant that she would love. "Good night Eva"He called to his secretary as he left the office.“You too, Mr. Armani"Eva called out after him. “I made those reservations you asked for. Everything is set, j
Blair Monore“Hello, stranger,” a sensual voice purred from behind her. A soft touch ran across her arm. Shock vibrated through Blair as she immediately stared at the stranger who had grabbed her...Blair had decided to go shopping for the first time by herself, without Zeke nor the bodyguards hovering around her, she had need to clear her head. She still hasn't told Zeke about how she felt yet not about the baby.."You must be Blair. The most talked about woman in NYC right now"A gorgeous lady with red luxurious hair says..Baffled and confused Blair said "Do I know you?"She asks as she inspects the strange woman. Who looked like she had just walked out of a magazine, her features looked so unreal yet beautiful. The kind of faces you see only on TV or the news."Not really but Zeke knows me. Sorry about my manners"The strange lady says smiling.."My name is Zoey, Zoe Laverne. Zeke's ex fiancee"The strange girl says smirking..."Pardon?"Blair says her legs began to quiver.Fiancee?"Bl
Blair Monore“I don’t have to go at all, it's optional” Zeke said to her as she lay on the bed... Blair rolled over and hugged the bowl closer to her chest. “And what are you going to do if you stay here? Sit and watch me throw up?” she asked, motioning to the bowl grimacing..Morning sickness had hit her hard. She'd been surprised to learn that it really should be called All Day sickness as it didn’t occur just in the morning. It actually seemed to be worse for Blair right before bed.“I don’t like leaving you,” he said, softly. He sat on the edge of the bed and caressed her hair. She couldn't help but, lean into him. Even when she was so angry with him she still need his help and support..“I’ll be fine,” she promised. “Honestly, I just want to lay in bed, drink the ginger tea you got me, and watch horrible, trashy TV. Zeke rolled his eyes and then narrowed them. “You aren’t hyping the morning sickness so you could stay home alone and away from me are you?”“Me?”Blair'’s eyes got
Blair MonoreBlair groaned, finally awake after a good night sleep. Exhaustion still tugged on her as she dragged her feet from her bed, but her phone simply wouldn’t stop buzzing or chiming. Unfortunately, it was on the kitchen table and a good ten steps away from the couch she currently was very comfortable on.The chime went off again. She thought about just leaving it there, but it was plugged in. The chimes would never stop since it would never run out of battery. Besides, that many text messages, emails, and phone calls had to be something important.With a groan, she threw her feet to the floor and sat up from the couch. She just wanted to nap today. This being pregnant thing was harder than she expected, Bair seemed to have an aversion to everything.She stood up and walked zombie like to the kitchen table. She picked up her phone and started making some ginger tea while she checked what was making her phone so noisy.There were up to a hundred text messages, but only three of
Blair Monore Blair didn’t know it was possible to cry this much. She didn’t know that she had this many tears left inside of her. She didn’t know that it was possible to feel this much pain from just one lie and deception.He had kissed another woman and not just any woman. His ex.He definitely didn’t love her.She was obviously nothing to him.Damn it, she had fucking hoped she was so much more to him but too bad she was wrong.She sat on her couch in her old apartment, mindlessly eating a pint of ice cream, she haven't been able to swallow a thing since the hour of the Morning after the whole fiasco but she knew she had to eat something because of her baby..So she stocked her stomach with some dry biscuits and ice cream.She had thought Zeke could actually fight his demons and finally allowed himself to love but she had been wrong, the worst part of all this was she knew she didn’t even have the right to cry. There relationship was never real, she was just the dummy that couldn't
Zeke Armani"Did you save a nation in your past life because if you did then you must be the luckiest son of a bitch I’ve ever met,” Diane said, walking into his office the next day.He’d spent the night trying to think of a way to make things right with Blair. He hadn’t come up with anything that felt right, so now he was out of ideas, exhausted, and cranky. He knew he needed to tell her what she want but the thought of remembering everything that happened years ago, the pain of the incident that destroyed him and destroyed his family... He couldn't, he just couldn't.“What do you want?”Zeke snapped at his PR adviser. She really needed to learn how to knock and not just waltz into his office.“Is that any way to speak to the woman about to save your company and possibly even your relationship?” Diane asked, crossing her arms. A cocky smile crossed her lips.“If you can do that, then I’ll change my tone,” he replied. He wanted another cup of coffee, but coffee always made him think o
Hermes P.O.VThe brochure he was holding in his hand gave full details of how Ms. Laurel Vasilakis who was once the girlfriend of Hermes Vasilakis is now married to Zion Vasilakis the only living heir of the Vasilakis wealth!Only?Well they should think again!He just knew If he didn't go ahead with his plans Zion would have never shown this side of himself!Laurel, oh Laurel?That golddigging cunt!!After everything I had done for her, sponsored her education, gave her everything she wanted she had the guts to fuck my brother and get pregnant for him and now she's portraying the pregnancy as mine.What in hells gate is going on!I guess the feud between us will be never ending. Zion Vasilakis and Hermes Vasilakis had always been on each other throats, well things hadn't always been like that between the two of us. We had been close when we were younger untill after the incident when we had been kidnapped by one of our father’s rivals, thankfully we were able to escape but I got shot
Zion’s P.O.V.“Why did you both not attend the wedding reception boy "His father's angry voice rang out the phone."Laurel isn't quite in the right state of mind to attend any gatherings"He says sternly dreading the other bitter part of why he had called his father."Zion, is there something you aren't telling us, because it seems we are missing something"He says coldly, obviously the way Laurel had kissed him during the wedding had surprised not only his parents but his guests.He was supposed to be her protector and not her real husband."This issue is quite a sensitive one, and it's complicated"He says.“Hell, boy,” his father said. “I have time for complicated.”Funny, because he rarely seemed to have time for anything but indulgence, but now that there was a hint of a scandal, he had time. He banished that thought. “It will not make you happy,” he said, and something dark and gleeful rose up inside of him.“Don’t tell me the babies are not Hermes” his father said with a tone of
Zion's P.O.V.A hush fell inside of him and for a second he went completely cold!Sure the uncertainty about the parternity of the twins were in doubts because of their nights togeth he simply can't believe they are his!At least that's what he thought two seconds ago up until she said she had been a virgin when he took her that night! She could be lying. But why? They were married already. It made no earthly sense for her to tell him this now.The children were his and she was his wife already so she has no reason at all to lie but be transparent.He could see relief on her face when she finally told him.So they were not for HermesShe had never slept with Hermes .He could finally see from her point of view, the world believed that the children were his brother’s, because that was what had been reported. Because nobody knew that the two of them had ever been together. But apparently, he was the only one she had ever been with.It seemed impossible. Almost laughably so.“Do not li
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
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
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 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
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.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
