In reality looking at everything that has happened this could be for the best and if he intends on doing this he has to make the choice himself...

Blair Monore She tried not to bounce up and down, but she couldn’t help the excitement. When Zeke had asked her out and this time he seemed really sincere she couldn't say no. He had called a fashion designer, got her a dress and even a makeup artist, she felt like a princess, She was nervous and now in his car she couldn't help it. As the car sped along the road to Zeke Armani's apartment her knee couldn’t hold it in. Zeke had something planned for her. He wanted to discuss something, and she had no idea what it could possibly be. Plus, they were going to his house. Where he took all the women he slept with. Now that it was really happening, she was nervous. She wasn’t sure what was going to happen next. He kept up comfortable small talk the entire short trip back to his luxury high rise apartment.

Blair Monore Sitting up in bed that night, with no hope of sleeping, Blair finally picked up a pen and paper to begin to write down a list of questions and concerns, a Part of her couldn’t believe that she was actually considering his Offer! But how could she not? Things has never gone her way before, never had the luxury to write her final exams in high school or even attend college, with her low pay job as a barrister she might be lucky to even pay for her education. She has once considered taking a student loan but the fear of not be able to pay not to talk of the loads of debt acquired by her own uncle on her neck and name, she doubts she will qualify for a loan... Blair spent her night mauling over Zeke's words till she zoned out and finally dropped to sleep. The next morning she dragged herself after a hours of fitful sleep. Before heading to the coffee shop she made a beeline and a quick stop for Mr. Thorne's office which was the barrister Zeke has recommended. She held his
Blair Monore By the end of the week, She had chewed every single fingernail down to the nubbins. Every time She considered asking someone for advice - even anonymously on the Internet - a wave of paranoia would overtake her and she would bite her tongue. She couldn’t risk doing anything that would violate Mr. Thorne’s trust or even Zeke's Trust in her. Even if she hasn't signed the contract yet, and even if she did, she was pretty sure the silence clause would apply retroactively. Or would it? She found herself wishing that she could afford her own lawyer. An attorney she could pay for his silence and counselling, but she knows damn right that the press would do a better job in striking a better deal with the lawyer if ever they want to dig out the truth. But it would be helpful to go over this whole thing with someone who was level-headed and experienced, and who could be trusted to keep things quiet. But that simply wasn’t possible. Driving home on Friday, she was completely drai
Blair MonoreThe next few days after signing the contract were an absolute blur for Blair.She quit her job. Movers came and boxed up everything valuable that she owned. She told her landlord she was moving. And suddenly she was living in Zeke’s apartment building. She had an apartment under her name two floors below Zeke’s penthouse suite. Her apartment was much, much, much larger than her old apartment, The movers helped in moving her things into the apartment, she had shopped for new clothes, bags a whole new wardrobe with Zeke's credit card, even the furniture the movers helped her with were all brand new.Zeke had given her an apartment in his building so she could have a freedom and space, but the original plan is to stay with him in his own house. We're supposed to play to new couple who move in together and Zeke was thoughtful enough to know sometimes she needed her space just as he needed his too. She was reorganizing her dishes when there came a knock on the door. She opene

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
