Stavros' pov:

Several days have passed since Duke's ball and the situation between Melina and I remains the same. Although that day she had almost confided in me that she was jealous, she showed no other emotion after that.

I have to admit for a while I felt happy that Melina started to have feelings for me. But they were wishful thinking after all. I don't need to daydream anymore. She will never feel anything for me. This marriage was arranged and this woman is not willing to do anything to change that. I have to get on with my life. Christine is not so bad. She could make a good wife. If things continue like this, I will divorce Melina and marry her.

-"Mr. Venieris, sorry to interrupt, but there is someone outside who wants to see you" came Lena's voice. I was so focused that I didn't hear her enter.

-"Did you not inform him that I am busy at the moment?" I scolded her.

-"I'm sorry sir. I tried to tell him but he wouldn't let me. He wants to talk to you right away”

-"Who is he?" I

    Melina's pov:Today was another tiring day as I stayed in the office until late. The end of the year is approaching and all the pending issues must be closed. Many things want my attention and unfortunately can't be postponed.It was ten when I got home and Aggeliki informed me that Stavros was already home and wanted to have dinner with me. For the past few days, I've been eating alone in my bedroom as I was too tired to come downstairs. But tonight Stavros wanted to see me for something important as Aggeliki said so I had to take a quick shower and go downstairs. I wondered what she might want.I showered and changed into more comfortable clothes and in half an hour I was ready to go down. When I entered the dining room, Stavros was waiting for me sitting at the top of the table reading his newspaper. I greeted him and he immediately put down the paper, got up and pulled the chair for me to sit down.-"Ηοw was your day? I hear very good things about you from your colleagues" he comm

    Stavros' pov:She looked at me with relief. It was more than obvious that she was very afraid because she got lost. She approached me and gave me a big hug. I was caught off guard. I really didn't expect her reaction! It's the first time since I've met her that she's been so effusive! Especially with me! I was really surprised!-"Quickly we have to find a shelter to go to! The storm is coming and if we stay here we'll be soaked to the bone!” I told her and took a step away. She looked at me surprised. She seemed a bit disappointed by my move. She didn't expect it! Actually I didn't expect it either! I don't know why I did it. It's not that I didn't want her. On the contrary, I really enjoyed her hug and she made me feel wanted and happy but something inside me resisted it.-"You know we can't avoid soaking. The house is too far to be able to return home before the storm starts...." Melina contradicted.-"We won't return to the house. I can't risk it with this weather. Ιt is dangerous

  • Incompatible Love   Chapter 18 - The assumption

    Melina's pov:I woke up the next morning feeling rejuvenated. I don't know if it was due to the place or the fact that I had slept continuously for more than ten hours! My body rested and I felt full of energy. When I opened my eyes I realized that I was lying in the bed. Stavros has probably put me here after I fell asleep. I looked around searching for him but there was nowhere to be found. Where was he? Did he really leave me alone here? I really hope not....I just don't understand him. On one hand, he is so caring and kind and on the other he makes those rude comments over my integrity. What's wrong with him? One is for sure! I can't hide I was in a relationship anymore. He knows a lot more about my past than I thought. The question is does he know it all? Does he know about George? Should I tell him about him or just mention the relationship without revealing anything else?I was thinking of all these, when Stavros entered the cabin holding a metal bowl. I wonder what he has ins

  • Incompatible Love   Chapter 19 - Clarifications

    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.

  • Incompatible Love   Chapter 22 - Mutual Trust

    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!

    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

    Melina's pov:I was playing with Ariana in her playroom waiting for Stavros to return from work. It was Friday and we had arranged to spend the weekend alone in the cabin in the woods. Aggeliki would take care of Arianna as she was like a nanny. Although the nanny we hired was funny and kind, Arianna preferred Aggeliki to her. As they were doing very well, we decided to let Aggeliki raise Ariana. She was like a grandmother to her after all. Stavros returned in the afternoon and after we ate together, we prepared to leave for the cabin. We went to the stable and got our horses. My horse, Autumn, although old, still has it! After thirty minutes of riding we arrived at the cabin. Everything was neat and clean as always although we haven't been here for a long time. We tied the horses to the oak tree near the cabin and got inside. We took the basket with the food our sweet Aggeliki has prepared us and put it on the table. Then we headed to the lake. We took our shoes off and put our feet

    Stavros' pov:I was at the reception desk arranging our check out when Christine came to find me.-"Thank God I found you! I was looking for you everywhere!" Christine said relieved.-"What did you want?" I asked her coldly. After learning about her betrayal, I could no longer bear her presence. How could she do such thing to me? I was always by her side. In every difficult moment she faced all these years, I stood by her. I helped her in every way emotionally, financially, etc.She was taken aback by my behavior. She clearly didn't expect my cold attitude towards her.-"What's wrong my love?" she asked in a seducing way that made me wanna throw up.-"I am not your love. I am a married man don't you forget" I reminded her.-"With a woman that prefers another" she commented venomously.-"Shut it!" I shouted at her.-"Why do you treat me so badly? You've never spoken to me like this before!" she complained. It was then that I realized that Christine was not going to tell me the truth. S

    Stavros' pov:I woke up to a knock on the door early in the morning. I glanced at my watch which showed six o'clock! Who the hell is that early in the morning? I thought to myself. Feeling drowsy I got up, put on my robe and headed for the door. When I opened it, I was surprised to see a very dear person to me. Melina! My only love, my beautiful wife! She wore a beautiful crimson dress and her hair was tight in a beautiful ban.- "Stavros" she said and immediately fell into my arms.-"Melina my love! You are here safe and sound! Thank God!"-"I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry I didn't believe you!" she said between sobs.-"My love don't cry! Please don't cry! I was worried sick for you! Where were you?"-"I left Andreadakis house yesterday night!"-"I know I know. Where were you all these hours? I looked everywhere for you!"-"I found refuge in the cathedral!-"But but how?"-"I knocked on the door of the temple and the priest politely offered me a place to spend the night!"-"Thank God!" I t

    Stavros' pov:I was arranging some things at the reception when I saw Andreadakis enter the hotel furiously! He immediately approached me and asked to speak to me privately. We took a few steps away from the reception and stood in a corner where we could have some privacy.-"Where is she?" George asked angrily. His face was rigid, his eyes filled with fire.-"Who?" I asked completely ignorant.-"Don't play dumb with me. Melina. Where did you take her?" he asked frustrated.-"Are you kidding me Andreadakis? Melina is at your house! What game are you playing again?" I contradicted.-"I'm not kidding. Melina is not at my home. She is gone. You took her!" George accused me.-"Wait...What? What are you talking about? How did she leave? Why did you let her go? Where did she go?" I shouted at him as I snatched him from his suit. I had enough of his stupidity. Our faces were inches apart. Our breaths were heavy. We were both angry and acted like two menacing bulls.-"You...... you...are telli

    Stavros' pov:I skillfully avoided Christine by telling her that I had a very important business meeting and headed to the bar "Casablanca" where Alexandros was waiting for me. We arranged to meet there as we both wanted to prevent Christine from finding out about Alexandros' arrival. She never liked him and considered him cruel and savage while he thought that she was opportunist and fake. Τhe good thing was that emotions were two-way for both of them.I got in the bar and scanned the area searching for Alexandros. After some minutes I found him sitting on a table drinking his whisky. I quickly approached him anxious to tell him everything that happened today at the park. I was dying to hear his point of view! His perspective is always so enlightening! No matter how many years pass, I will not stop learning from this man.Ι sat on the table and ordered a whisky on the rocks when Alexandros spoke first.-"What is sο important Stavros?" he wondered.-"Alexandros I saw Melina and spoke

    Melina's pov:I returned home with half a heart. Everything that Stavros told me in the park was disastrous for me. Why so many lies? No one is who he says to be ... My family, my friends everyone lied and betrayed me. Even my husband lied to me. The man I am carrying his baby, the man I share my life with....I went upstairs and locked myself in my room. I had to sort things out for my mental and for my baby's health sake. I had to take a decision about my life, a decision that would affect not only me but many people. The responsibility was great and there was no room for errors or doubts.I was sitting in my chair processing all the information I received today trying to make a decision when a knock on the door interrupted my thoughts.-"I am sorry to bother you my lady but I came to ask you if you'll have lunch here or downstairs?" Lina the maid asked me.-"I prefer here if you don't mind" I replied.-"Should I bring you your lunch then?" she asked again.-"No, not yet. I have no

  • Incompatible Love   Chapter 44 - What luck can bring

    Stavros' pov:Full of confidence and hope, I headed early in the morning to Andreadakis' house. I decided to watch the place and find the perfect opportunity to meet Melina. It was nine in the morning when George left. I was sure that Tina would probably be inside as Andreadakis would not leave Melina alone, especially now that he knows that I am also in the city.The hours passed quickly without any movement from the people of the house. That made me decide to go in and see Melina no matter what! I was on my way to the mansion when the door suddenly opened and Melina came out dressed in a light pink dress. The view left me speechless. She was stunning! The morning light made her shine. I stood still and watched her as she walked down the street grateful for my incredible luck. I was about to shout at her from a distance when I thought about it again and decided to follow her. I wanted to see where she was heading.She was walking down the street for several minutes window shopping wh

    Stavros' pov:I was on pins and needles during dinner with Christine. The news she brought me, broke my heart into several pieces. I just wanted to go. After my constant pressure, Christine finally agreed to leave the restaurant. We went back to our hotel and I was about to go to my room when Christine asked me to accompany her to hers which I did though I did not feel like it. When we got to the door, she very temptingly suggested that we share a drink together, which I politely declined. I returned to my room and locked myself up. I didn't want to make things worse. I felt so helpless and desperate since I heard that Melina refused to give me a chance. I was devastated. I never expected it from Melina to be so absolute and cold. She did not give me any opportunity to explain to her what really happened. She is not interested in my opinion. After everything we went through, she still does not trust me. How could she erase everything we lived together so easily? Our memories, our fe

    Melina's pov:I woke up in the middle of the night feeling sweaty and upset because of a nightmare I had. In my dream I saw George dressed as a groom waiting for me in the sanctuary of a church while I was walking slowly down the aisle dressed in a wedding dress. When I approached him I realized that instead of George it was another man who was waiting for me. The same man from my memories, the same man that probably made a scene yesterday night. He was looking at me with a wide smile when he gave me his hand. I reciprocated his smile, took his hand and together we headed to the priest who stood in front of the sanctuary waiting for us.We were saying our vows when George burst into the church holding a knife. He threatened to kill the man beside me. He came closer and attacked him. He was about to kill him when I stepped forward and instead of stabbing him, George stabbed me in the abdomen. I fell down surrounded by a pool of blood. And then something wonderful happened. A beautiful
