Do you know what it's like? Walking day in and day out through these endless plain walls that is the Mavros residence. Well that is pretty much all I do every day. I explore the house, watering the plants, cooking or doing whatever comes to mind until Demetriuss comes home.
No job or outside activity to keep me busy, my overprotective husband is worried that I could be kidnapped or fall prey to the charms of another man even though he has three male bodyguards following me everywhere I go. When I am in the comfort of my own room or when I am doing my business in the toilet - their ears are strained to hear every single sound that comes from the door. There is never anything suspicious, they just have the misfortune of hearing me pee.
You would think the perks of having three bodyguards following you around everywhere is that you will at least have a few companions, someone to talk to in this empty house but no. Demetrius forbid them to utter a word to me unless it is of the absolute imperative or they would be fired immediately, his reason being they have dicks just like any other man.
The cooks, cleaners and chauffeur avoid me like the plague; all are men which I find strange considering Demetrius can't stand seeing a man within 3 meters of me. I have asked him about it, his reason being - not wanting me to bat for a different team or something like that, I'm still a bit fuzzy on how the thought even crossed his mind.
"How have you been?" I ask one of the bodyguards, he gives no reply, not that I was expecting one anyway but it didn't stop me from trying.
"Doing anything fun in the weekend?" I ask again, still no response, I sigh in resignation and plop down on the leather sofa and turn on the TV. I aimlessly flick through the channels and stop when I get to 'You've Been Framed.'
I find the show absolutely hilarious but some part of me feels it's wrong to laugh at people humiliate and injure themselves on TV, but in the end they get money for it, so I guess they don't really care.
"Oh my gosh." I cover my mouth to stop my laugh of embarrassment for a lady whose dress had accidentally come undone, exposing her breasts to everyone in the room. I can't imagine being her position.
I look at my bodyguard hoping they would give some sort of reaction to what just happened. Nothing. Not even a little tint of pink forming on their cheeks.
"Seriously? Nothing? You just saw a woman's breast and all you guys did was stand stiff and emotionless like a robot." I folded my arms across my chest and waited for a response, they didn't say anything, only kept one hand behind their back and the other gripped tightly on the gun holster.
"I give up." I turned off the TV and marched upstairs to my room, as expected they followed me and stood outside the door.
I spent two hours in my room; I slept for the most part and daydreamed for the other. I felt my stomach rumble and was glad Demetrius wasn't here; if he was he would have scolded me about my tendency to skip meals then force me to eat a full course dinner, muttering about woman and their obsession with looks.
I went into the kitchen with my three bodyguards trailing after me, I took out the ravioli from last night and heated it up, I'm not a big fan of overnight food but I was too exhausted to cook and I had given Lewis, our cook a day off, so I sucked it up and ate the ravioli, not all of it, so there was enough for Demetrius when he came home.
While I was eating a wicked thought suddenly crossed my mind, I don't know what provoked it - probably my mounting boredom, but the thought seemed so devilish that I couldn't help but cooperate with the naughty side of me. I hurriedly finished my ravioli and went upstairs straight to my wardrobe; Demetrius is going to love this.
I picked up a tight fitting dress that reached mid-thigh which showed off my slim figure and naturally tanned legs and tried it on. I had brought it a long time ago, long before I met Demetrius and was surprised it still fit me. This will definitely brighten his day, I giggled to myself.
Right on time I heard the door open and Demetrius walked in looking all high and mighty with his Armani suit and clean shaven face. When he saw me at the top of the stairs, his eyes widened reasonably and I internally squealed like a little girl. I gave him a flirtatious smile and teasingly made my way downstairs.
"Sir I got the contract-" A voice suddenly erupted in the silence and my eyes widened when I came face to face with a lanky man. He had thick specs and a goatee, his dark floppy hair sat lazily on his forehead as he continuously attempted to blow it out of his eyes. His pink cheeks only highlighted the shy boy persona I had observed when I first saw him. I widened my eyes when the stack of papers in his hands fell to the floor when he laid eyes on me.
It was then I realised that Demetrius' eyes didn't stare at me in awe of my appearance but because another man was about to enter the house and I was exposing so much skin. I am in trouble.
"Steven, meet my wife, Sophia. Sophia, meet my financial adviser, Steven." Demetrius introduced us with that of cheeriness and hospitality, but I knew my husband well enough to tell that in the depths of those warm emerald eyes was that of rage and jealousy which was mostly directed at Steven which calmed me down a little bit.
"It's nice to finally meet you Mrs. Mavros." Steven held out a hand for me to shake and I happily took it, resisting the urge to pull my hand away when I felt how sweaty they were. I don't know if it was because Demetrius was glaring holes in the back of his head or because my legs were on full display, not leaving any room for imagination.
"Please call me Sophia." I smiled genuinely at him, Demetrius' disapproval was clear when he abruptly removed Steven's hand from my own and pulled me towards him for a long, deep kiss. He pushed me up against the wall and moved my legs around his waist, so he was carrying my weight. He immediately thrust his tongue into my mouth making me gasp at this sudden action. I couldn't help the embarrassing moan that left my mouth when I felt Demetrius' erection poke against my tummy. I broke away for air and Demetrius let out a low growl, moving to my neck, he bit and sucked on the exposed skin; I sighed in pleasure and titled my neck to give him more access. At this point I had completely forgotten there was another person in the room. Demetrius was resilient as he continued to suck and nibble on the same spot of my neck; I lifted my head up in suspicion.
"Demetrius what are you doing?" I whispered at him.
"Showing him that your mine." He said in between kisses. I looked up at the ceiling in confusion and it dawned on me that Demetrius was trying to give me a love bite.
"Demetrius no." I wiggled under his hold but his body kept me in place.
"Yes." He countered and continued to work on my neck; I sighed in pleasure and mentally slapped myself for being so weak.
"If you don't stop, I won't have sex with you for a week." I threatened and attempted to get out of his tight hold, his body was flush against mine on the wall making it difficult for me to even move an inch.
Demetrius laughed at my empty threat. "Like you can resist me." He smirked against my skin and I could hear the smugness in his tone. He was right I couldn't resist him even if I tried.
I was suddenly released and sent tumbling to the floor, I glared at Demetrius and he gave me a arrogant wink which had my insides fluttering.
I got up from the floor and looked to see a very red Steven clutching tightly onto the stack of papers as if it was his life source.
Demetrius cleared his throat and Steven snapped his eyes in his direction. "Sorry about that Steven, I guess my wife just got a little carried away." Demetrius didn't look sorry at all, in fact he looked triumphant as he sent a look my way, I gasped at the blatant lie. I got carried away? Why that little...
"Yes, I'm sorry Steven." I grit out. "Sorry that my husband is a walking boner." I said the last bit quietly but both men heard me.
Steven started to cough uncontrollably and Demetrius sent me a death glare that would surely bring anyone to an early grave. I don't know what came over me when I said what I said, it was like a sudden burst of confidence flowed within me and I said what was on my mind. Do I regret it now? No way, I have never been prouder of myself. Will I regret it later? Most certainly.
"Excuse my wife Steven; she can be quite the fire cracker sometimes." Demetrius spoke with fake amusement and Steven let out an unsure laugh.
"Come Steven, we have important matters to discuss." He allowed Steven to go first and followed after him, before he disappeared out of sight he turned around to face me.
"What the heck were you thinking when you put on that outfit." He wasted no time in probing me.
"I wanted to-" I started but was interrupted when he started to speak again.
"What is up with your foul mouth? You have never been this disrespectful to me."
"I-"
"You know what, I don't have time to hear this, just go upstairs and change right now."
"But-"
"Sophia, upstairs."
I gave up and did what I was told, like the obedient wife I always have been.
"While you're at it, make sure you give that foul mouth of yours a thorough wash." He shouted after me and when I was out of sight I stuck my tongue out in anger.
Arrogant bastard.
How dare he? The nerve of that man, making me rinse my mouth with water like a bloody child while he stood there with a content grin on his face. I felt nothing but dislike for my husband at that point."I hope you have learnt your lesson now?" Demetrius stared intently at me as he waited for an answer, I knew that there was only one response he would accept, and any other would be fatal.I bowed my head and nodded. "Yes."Demetrius smirked and firmly held my chin so I was looking into his eyes. "Good, I don't want to have to wash that pretty little mouth of yours again." He gave me a small peck on my lips and left to continue his business meeting with Steven.I huffed in annoyance and grudgingly walked to my room. After the little 'show' in front of Steven I am now on total lockdown until he leaves which shouldn't be long from now seeing as I have been here for over 2 hours.I pulled up my baggy tr
It was a race to see who would break down first. I was most definitely losing. After I kneed Demetrius, he stormed out of our bedroom angrily and has been lying on the couch ever since. I stared at his sleeping figure and gently traced down his jawline. "Why are you so perfect?" I whispered thoughtfully to myself."You tell me sweetheart." Demetrius' arrogant voice invaded my thoughts. I quickly removed my hands from his face and acted as if I had been playing with the strands of my hair."Your awake." I murmured, partly to hide my squeaky voice."Yes, can't say I had the best of sleeps though." He grunted as he stretched his aching body.I scoffed at his lame attempt to guilt trip me. "I just came here to ask if you would take your stuff out of our room and move it to the guest room."Demetrius barely flinched at my harsh tone as he slowly walked towards me. "Is that really what you want?" He stare
I spooned the last of my strawberry yogurt and glared at Demetrius from afar.It was known to me that he was fully aware of my disapproval at his response to a vacation, but still he continued to ignore me."I know your just ignoring me." I stated. After my constant pestering, he felt it much easier to act as if I didn't exist."Can you at least tell me why you said no?" I questioned, annoyed at his nonchalant attitude."Because I don't want you out of my sight." He answered simply before focusing his attention back to his book."I'm not two!""No, but you are 21 which means you still posses the brain of a naive teenager." He gently held my head in his hands and I immediately removed it."I'm way past my teenage years Demetrius, stop being so overprotective." I argued.He chuckled at my statement and shook his head. "
I laid down comfortably on beach chair and allowed the sun to soak in my skin.I can't believe we're in the Caribbean islands, it almost feels surreal to be in this amazing region of North America.It was the first time Demetrius had allowed me to go to a public beach and frankly, I hated it.Don't get me wrong the beach was lovely, the weather was perfect and the scenery was breathtaking.However, in our own private beach (imagine my shock when I found out Demetrius had his own beach in the Caribbean) it was much more relaxing, I could hear the calming waves of the beautiful sea as I closed my eyes and felt the sun's warm rays of light tan my body.In this place, I can't get a moment of silence, there are countless kids running around and screaming with buckets on their heads. To make matters worse, the crowded beach has forced me to have my chair squashed at the back of the beach. My usual front row se
I cautiously opened one eye and took a peak at Demetrius who laid soundlessly asleep beside me. I ran my hand through his brown mass of curly hair and sighed. He looked so peaceful, I would have never pegged him as the violent type, but unfortunately that was exactly who is was.I cupped his cheek and planted a soft kiss on his forehead, after yesterday he had us immediately flown back to Greece where he has remained as cold as ever. I contemplated paying the poor man a visit were he lay fatally injured in the hospital, but the rational part of me told me to stay put. For his own safety.I quietly got out of bed and tiptoed out of the room."Busted." A gruff voice called behind me.I mentally cursed and slowly turned around, appearing to look confused. "Excuse me?""I saw you trying to sneak out." He answered unwrapping the duvet and getting out of bed, his naked torso on full display.
I quietly shut the door, hoping to enter the house undetected.I winced when I heard Demetrius' voice behind me. "Where do you think you're coming from?" He asked in a strangely calm tone."I was out." I whispered, looking around and noticing he had sent all the bodyguards away, just my luck."Where?" He questioned staring at me intently, I couldn't help but squirm under his penetrating gaze."I had an errand to run." I vaguely answered."Errand? Sophia do you have any idea the hell I went through when I came back to find an empty room and an open window." He shouted, his eyes clouded with anger and worry."I'm sorry.""Your sorry?" He laughed bitterly at my lack of response. I gasped when his hands slammed furiously onto the wall behind me, keeping me caged in his arms. "I had the whole of Greece searching for you, I drank myself to the point of insanit
"M-my name?""Yes miss, your name is required if we are to carry forward with your application.""Erm..." I looked to the right and noticed a coupon for Betsy's Bakery. "My-my name is Betsy." I nodded as if I was confirming to myself it was indeed my name."Surname?""Roberts." I answered automatically."Ok, thank you for your application, we will get back to you within 3 days, confirming appointment date and time-""Can you contact me through email please?""Of course, miss Roberts.""Thank you...goodbye.""Goodbye Miss Roberts."I ended the call and let out a huge sigh of relief, I thought for sure I would be busted when it took me longer than 3 seconds to say my own name.Seeking the help of a psychiatrist was the only solution I had left since Demetrius has now resulted to asking me
Waking up to an empty bed was definitely not what I was expecting, especially on a Saturday morning.I sluggishly got out of bed and made my way to the bathroom, rubbing the sleep from my eyes, I opened the door and entered."Sophia?" I heard Demetrius voice vaguely in the bathroom.I immediately felt my cheeks turn red, I had no idea he was in here."Erm yes." I answered as more of a question, the thought of talking to Demetrius while he was naked in the shower made me downright nervous and hot."Well are you just gonna stand there or are you coming in?" I could hear the laughter in his voice. It's times like this that I was thankful he couldn't see me because right now I most certainly resembled a beetroot."Actually, I think I might just wait outside." I attempt to retreat back to the comfort of my bed but his gruff tone stopped me short."Where do you thin
This was it. The day Demetrius and I would renew our vows. I remembered all the bad we had gone through and pondered fondly on the good which all led us to this moment, an audience filled with my closest family and friends and a groom at the alter waiting for me, this was truly the happiest day of my life. I felt tears threatening to spill from my eyes but quickly blinked them back not wanting to ruin my makeup."I'm nervous." I whispered to Cassandra, since both my parents had passed away, she
"Are you sure you want to do this?" I stared long and hard at the file paper and sighed."No." I muttered, ripping the divorce papers for a third time. I couldn't do it. I just couldn't."I understand this is a tough decision for you Sophia, but yo
It's hard to justify your actions when you have a mountain of a man standing in front of you with a face one could only describe as a tomato. Yes, I pepper sprayed Demetrius in the face, but it was an accident, he was getting too close and I had no idea how to react or what to do, I simply acted on impulse.Guilt was the only thing, keeping me in this awkward position, my body caged in between his legs as I attempted to cleanse the burn of the spray.
"I'm still in shock. Demetrius was a good friend to the family, I'm still trying to get my head around this whole story." I nodded passively at the woman in front me, I really didn't want to think about Demetrius while my turn to speak was in less than two minutes. It was overwhelming, the thought of never seeing someone so close to you ever again."Next, a word from his daughter, Sophia." Adjusting my black satin dress I forced my legs to move forward to where my Aunt Veronica stood, her red ey
I would have constant visions of an alternate ending to my life.A life where Drake had gotten his way and I laid six foot under.A life where I had never found out about the marriage contract.
Sophia's POVI could see the relief and fear in Demetrius' face, he recognised Casper, but both men clearly felt resentment towards one another."You know why she's here, now speak."
Sophia's POVI was being gagged, a dirty cloth was wrapped tightly around my mouth and a rope was tied tightly around my wrists. Attempting to kick and scream I was immediately restrained by Fabio, who put his hands around my neck, squeezing slightly. "The more you struggle, the harder I'll squeeze, so shut it." He looked more than pissed off, Fabio was furious and he was taking out that anger on the nearest person to him. Me.
Demetrius' POV"Wait? I am not waiting for anything! We are going right now to find my wife and I will not wait a second longer." Alexander continued to delay, one procedure after another, if we weren't such good friends I would have already stormed out of that room, ignoring his professional advice.
Demetrius' POVAlexander has been a good friend of mine for over ten years, he is a private detective, one of the best if so say so myself. When my father was kidnapped five years ago it was Alexander who helped me find him. Unfortunately we never did find out who kidnapped him. I have no doubt that it was Fabio, his reason, I would never know.
