Melina's pov:

I was getting ready to go for a ride as the weather was very pleasant and I hadn't been with Autumn for days. It was early spring and although the weather was a bit cold, the day was longer and this gave me the advantage of doing more outdoor activities. I got downstairs and was about to leave the house when Aggeliki stopped me.

-"My Lady, your step mother is in the living room waiting for you."

-"Is Tina here? Did she tell you what does she want?" I asked her.

-"She wants to talk to you."

-"I think I may know what the talk will be about. Please drive her off..."

-"She won't leave until she speaks with you" Aggeliki commented.

-"Tell her I have a very important meeting and I can not be late."

-"It won't take long, my dear" Tina suddenly appeared from behind.

-"Tina I have work to do" I told her firmly.

-"Do you usually go to work in your riding uniform?" she questioned raising her right eyebrow.

-"What do you want?" I asked her impatiently.

-"I've already told you. I wan

    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

    Tina's pov: I was at the beauty salon in town and it was my turn to go in when a tall blonde pierced me and passed in front of me.-"How impudent! How dare she? Doesn't she know who I am? I'm a Countess!" I started yelling making a scene. Everyone was staring at me. Not that I really care! The Director of the beauty salon quickly came to apologize and calm me down.-"My Countess I....Ι .... am really sorry about what happened. I assure you that you will be the next in line and I will make sure you'll get the attention worthy of a Queen."-"This woman took my place so insolently and you are still defending her?" I protested angrily.-"I am really sorry about it, but Mrs. Xanthou had already an appointment!"-"How dare you put some common above royal blood?" I contradicted.-"My Countess please understand. It wasn't our intention to upset you or treat you disparagingly. Mrs. Xanthou's appointment was already late!" the Manager repeated in a condescending way.-"I really don't care if s

    Stavros' pov:I just got out of a very important and tiring meeting and all I wanted to do was go home to my beautiful wife. I was about to leave when Christine walked into my office with teary eyes. She quickly came to my arms and started crying.-"Christine please relax! What's going on?" I asked anxiously.-"Oh Stavros I can't anymore I feel so helpless, so weak and frustrated!" she said crying.-"What happened?"-"I've been receiving threatening notes for a week now."-"Threatening notes for what? Does it have to do with your father's case again?"-"I really don't know Stavros!" she exclaimed frustrated. -"Maybe they are the same people who threatened your father! I thought we got rid of them. What do they want now?" I commented angrily.-"I don't know! The only thing I know is that I am really scared! What should I do? I am afraid Stavros!" she exclaimed in fear. Her face was pale and sweaty. It was obvious that the whole thing has affected her dramatically.-"Did you go to the

    Stavros' pov:I woke up with a terrible headache. I looked around and realized I wasn't in my room. I wasn't even in my own bedroom! Where was I? I sat on the bed and closed my eyes trying to remember what happened yesterday. I ran my hand through my hair in frustration as I couldn't remember anything! That's when I heard Christine's voice.-"Finally you woke up! You've been sleeping for hours!" she said giving me a toothy smile.-"What time is it?" I asked with a hoarse voice.-"It's half past ten" she replied.-"Oh shit!" I said and got up abruptly from my bed. I was putting on my shirt when Christine offered me a cup of hot coffee. I took it and gently took a few sips. Coffee is all I need to start my daily life. Then I put it down and headed for the door.-"Where are you going?" she wondered.-"I am late, Christine I have to go!" I told her while she came closer to me and grabbed my hand stopping me.-"Stavros" she told me looking at me straight in the eyes "I want you to know tha

    Tina's pov:-"I' ve been waiting for you for almost an hour! What took you so long?" I asked Christine who just arrived.-"I am sorry. It was difficult to find someone reliable to develop the film!" Christine explained.-"Did you get the photos?" I asked impatiently.-"Yes, yes I did!" she said and reluctantly put them out of her bag.-"Let me see them" I said and grabbed the photos from her hand. I looked at them one by one, completely satisfied with the result. They depicted Stavros and Christina going to the hotel and entering their room. "Send someone right away to give them to Melina. Don't forget to leave a note! Oh, how I wish I could see her face when she picks them up,” I said maliciously.-"Maybe we shouldn't do this. I love Stavros and I don't want to hurt him! I don't want to ruin his marriage. What if he finds out?"-"Don't say nonsense! How will he know that we are behind of all this? Besides is for your own benefit" I contradicted.-"I don't want him to get hurt. Melina

    Stavros' pov:I returned home late again. Although I wanted to spend the evening with Melina I had so many meetings and appointments that made it difficult for me to do it. It was half past eleven when I arrived at the house. Aggeliki, always faithful was waiting for me. -"Good evening Sir."-"Aggeliki why are you up so late?" I asked her.-"I was waiting for you Sir. Would you like anything to eat?"-"No, no Aggeliki. I ate something in the office. You shouldn't wait for me. It's very late. You'd better go and get some rest!" I suggested.-"As you wish Sir. Good night!"-"Good night Angeliki" I said to her as I went up the stairs. Before going to my room I decided to go to Melina's room first to check on her. I quietly opened the door and with soft steps approached her bed where I was surprised to find her bed intact. I checked it her bathroom and I didn't find her either."Where is she? Maybe she's sleeping in my bedroom" I thought to myself and happily headed to my room eager to

    Stavros' pov:It's been two weeks since Melina left our house and we still haven't been able to find her. Neither I nor her parents could find her anywhere. At first I strongly believed that they knew where she was and were hiding her but as the days went by I realized that they knew nothing about her. Where did she go? Why did she have to leave? Why didn't she stay and give me a chance to explain? It was obvious she didn't trust me at all! I know what all of this was like, but she had to give me a chance to defend myself and speak my mind. She judged me and condemned me like that without even thinking to hear my point of view.~~~~~~~~~~~In a dirty apartment somewhere in the notorious suburbs of the city:Third person pov:-"This food sucks!

He looked very rich as he was well dressed. As they continued to stare at each other, the man did the most unexpected thing. He smiled at her and hugged her tightly.-"At last I've found you! I've really found you! Shhhhhhh Melina.....it's ok! You are safe now!" he reassured her by whispering in her ear as he noticed that she was trembling with fear.-"Melina.....Melina..... Melina......" the name echoed repeatedly in her head. "I know that name! I have heard it before!" she thought to herself. The man touched her gently on the back and said "Come, the carriage is waiting for us." Although the man was very kind and gentle with her, something inside her kept telling her that she shouldn't trust him. But there was no other alternative for her.

    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!

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

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

    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
