"Love? I don't think I could love, papou!" I said disapprovingly as I shake my head.

"Don't be stubborn, Stavros. I felt the same way when I first saw Rosana. I felt that instant pull and it seems that there's no way I could resist it. That night when I first laid my eyes on her, it seems like she's the only person in that party. I get jealous when she's been taken away by other guys for a dance. I instantly became over-possessive of her," he said as he grinned and watched the pool while telling me his love story.

"I didn't acknowledge it was love at first. I was too egotistical to face it. Until, she agreed to marry that guy she was arranged with." Then his face suddenly changed. He looks horrified. Then, he looks at me, and he continued on.

"Then at that moment, I felt my heart crushing into pieces. I just want to die at that day. My brother talked to me and made me realized my mistake. Then, and there I flew to Spain, to profess my love to Rosana. The wedding is on the next day.

    Shortly, we are in the hall. It was a big room. It was elegantly decorated with almost all blue and white theme. From the stage to the tables and chairs. I remember my mom told me that chosen of employees are invited, CEOs of other companies, family friends, and partners. Which are about 150 heads excluding ourselves plus the reporters? I'm guessing three-fourth of the invited are already present. And, I'm still standing at the grand entrance with papou, giagia on the side, shaking and welcoming every guest with a smile and my jaw was already numbed. After several minutes, I spotted Georgia with a group, coming towards us. I was surprised to see her here. From behind the two couples was her dad, and mom, Mr. Alexander, and Mrs. Claire Costas. Georgia was smiling to me, her eyes glistening. She looks stunning with her red shimmering bodice-beaded chiffon gown with spaghetti straps. "Alexander! Claire!" My papou exclaimed and gave them a hug. So as my giagia. Alexander was in his mi

    "As a new CEO of this Company, it's not new to me how to manage a business since I am a CEO myself of my own Business, although in different categories of industries, but I believe in one thing, as a CEO once said, "Our job is to grow revenue faster than expense. Now get to work!". Everyone laughed. I talked about taking the company to the next level and what I expect to them, with authority as I looked around, and every eye was looking at me in awe. Reporters trying to get good voice records, camera flashing here and there. "I am not probing to look for weaknesses in you or your colleagues but to see how we are doing things now and how we might look for improvements. My interest is in processes, not personalities. I am not here to hurt anyone, just to see that we all work together to further the corporate fortunes. Again, Thank you and I would like to end my words with......" as I look around once more. "LET'S GET TO WORK!!" Then a roared of applause released with standing ovati

    "Love is not what the mind thinks, but what the hearts wants." - Greg Evans Alessandra's POV I was brushing my teeth when Lucy called out my name from downstairs. "ALI!" She must have been ready to go. I walked out of the washroom door, all the while brushing my teeth, my eyes darting to the small alarm clock that was sitting on the lamp table, it says 7:31 AM, then walking back inside the washroom towards the sink. I was up before the alarm this morning, even though I went to bed late last night. I was waiting for Stavros' call or text. It's past midnight and he never called nor sent a text, and God knows what time when I fell asleep, waiting. Although we talk that night before the party, and he said he will let me know if he will fly back after the party. Well, he didn't promise it, but I waited anyway. It's weird that even I didn't get much sleep I am feeling ecstatic, and I couldn't pinpoint it out why. I know Stavros is not coming back since there's no text or call from him,

    Indeed, she's watching us, smiling sweetly as she grabs her purse on the coffee table. I pulled myself away and stared at him intently. "When did you arrive?" I inquired with my furrowed forehead. "Just this morning, we landed around five. I left just before the party ended," he grinned. "But you didn't call or text me," I said pouting. "I want to surprise you," he replied chuckling. "If I told you, then it won't be a surprise anymore," he added his eyes is radiating like the sun in midday. It was full of happiness. "I hate surprises," I mumbled but he heard it. "Oh ..." was all he uttered. I gave him another hug. "You have no idea how much I miss you," I blurted out unconsciously as I heaved a heavy sigh. A smile broke out on my lips. He completes me. Since Stavros absence, I felt empty. "Now, I do!" giving me a lopsided grin. "I could help you resolve that after my work," he whispered in my ears teasingly. Heat courses throughout my body and then settles on my cheeks. "We n

    We are halfway to the elevator, when his hands move to my waist, grabbing my waist close to him as he led me to his private elevator. I tried not to look at his employees' scrutinizing eyes who's waiting for the elevator to stop while ours, it didn't take a minute to wait. The elevator was waiting for us. Dating a CEO has its perks. As soon as we stepped in the elevator I let out a loud breathed, I didn't know I was holding. While Stavros punched the 13th floor, I relax, well, I tried. I'm sure, this is the start of my name to become the hot topic of these gossip mongrels. "I'm sorry if I did that," Stavros now facing me. I just shrugged my shoulders. Staring at me intently, while collecting loose strands of my hair tucking it behind my ears, I could hear my heart beating in my ears. There's that familiar feeling again, whenever he's close or his touching me. It's like a displaced hornets in my belly. "They have to know who are they going to deal with. I won't just sit and watch

    That was fast? I was with him. How could that be? And again, I remember, he's the CEO. He probably had settled it before he came to see me, yet he didn't inform me. "Great!" I mumbled sarcastically as I smiled at my boss. "Sorry, Mr. Hernandez? You are kidding me, right?" I blurted out incredulously, I don't care if I sounded so disrespectful, but that is absurd. "Yes, Alessandra, and I don't mind at all," he grinned. "Besides, I will be in a meeting with the financial and accounting supervisors, so I won't be here possibly the whole day," he explained. "This is ridiculous! I have to talk to him," I muttered mostly to myself. "Please, leave it is Alessandra. It's nothing. And, he seems happy around you. Just let it go, will you? For the sake of the others. He stops brooding since you started working here Alessandra," he continuously explained. "And, I hope that continues," he said smilingly while giving me the look of you're-our-savior, or probably a pawn. "Anyway, here's the l

    "We should talk," I began, staring at him. He looks so happy. I need to tell him that we should act as Employee/Employer when we are at work. "Later, babe," he hushed. And, he leaned down to kiss me. Everything I want to discuss flew into a thin air and all I could think of was his sweet lingering kiss. I wrap my hands around his neck, kissing him back, then I pulled my lips away from his after few minutes, to inhale some oxygen. He groaned softly. I remember we have company outside. "We have to start working or Andrea will see us in a very compromising position," I teased as I grimaced at the thought of it. "I told her not to disturb," he declared his eyes glistening. Oh boy! We will never finish anything today. I thought. I was tempted to kiss those lips again. So, I stand on my tippy toes to kiss him. He gladly kissed me back, then gradually the kiss deepens, our tongue teasing each other, demanding and consuming He pulled me closer to his hard body, pressing against mine, I

    Stavros' POV "Just CANCEL ALL MY DAMN SCHEDULES, ANDREA!" I grumbled loudly. And, I slammed the phone on its receiver. I plopped down on my chair. I know I was being impossible, but damn she usually knows what to do, and obeyed fast without making me repeat my words. I looked over to my right shoulder where Alessandra's desk. She was too busy scanning the folders. 'You're being too hard to Andrea, don't you think?" she asks without looking at my direction. "Yeah, I know. I'm sorry about that," I apologized. Feeling sorry for her to witnessed me in my bad temper, but I don't feel anything remorseful to Andrea. "But she has to know that I don't tolerate incompetent employees," I fuzzed like a petulant kid, still watching her. I could do this all day. I mean watching her. "Don't say sorry to me, Stavros," now she's staring at me, stopping from tapping on the keyboard. "Say sorry to Andrea! She must be in distress right now," she said not taking her eyes off me. "I don't apologize

    "Thanks," I said as I handed it over to him, feeling disappointed. And as if he could read my mind."Mr. Demakis is on the phone so he can't pick you up himself." Pancho explained briefly."I understand Pancho!" I said, smiling at him reassuringly.We were on Lexington avenue. I felt bored. I looked in the rear mirror, and Pancho was fixed on driving.

    Or is it just because my feelings for her didn't change a bit? And, I'm being too sensitive. Taken by her completely and irrevocably."I love you, too," I mumbled acquisciently, barely audible. And her betrayal played in my head.I threw the phone on my bed, and walked briskly to the mini room.It is an open decent size room across the bed, with a gray L-shape settee and a white ottoman table, and two gray armchairs with round small table in between. Leaning against the clear glass wall, giving a good view of the backyard.I saw my food tray on the table, with a glass of orange juice, coffee, blueberry oatmeal, two brown toast, scrambled eggs, and bacons. I start digging my oatmeal, I realized I am famished.After finishing the food, I felt replete. I put the empty glass on the food tray, the plate and bowl, on top of each. I rose from my seat, with my coffee, and headed to my office. It is located downstairs.I met Luciana and Pancho as I was trudged down the stairs.They both look at

    I fished out my phone from my pocket, and saw two missed calls and messages. All from Alessandra. I closed my eyes, trying to ease the pain that starting to envelop in my heart. My hand involuntarily clenched around the sleek metal. My heart feels raw, humiliatingly betrayed. I felt like a sharp knife was being stabbed in my heart, and twisting it slowly painfully, over and over.And why the pain is always fresh?Can I just move on and not feel the pain?If only there's a way to stop this feeling."Damn! Dammit, Alessandra!! Arghh..." I groaned loudly.I chucked the phone on the bed in frustrations. I briskly walk back to the washroom, turn the tap on and splashes my face with cold water.I look in the mirror, and I see blue, cold piercing eyes with dots of red staring at me. Ruffled and crumpled hair, chopped lips, and dry skin. I looked messed, loser, defeated, betrayed, and deeply humiliated!Fuck!The scenario yesterday oscillated back in my head with that guy kissing my Alessandra

    Thank God, they both heard me.Lucy continued eating, my brother made his coffee."Where did you sleep last night, Carlos?" I asked out of curiosity, trying to break the deafening silence.Carlos looked at Lucy warily, and Lucy snapped her head in Carlos' direction. Then my brother looks back at me. Those two are definitely talking through their eyes. It's odd. Definitely strange.What have I been missing?"At the couch," he responded anxiously.I let out a sigh, and decided to ignore the curiosity nagging deep within me.So I just shrugged my shoulders.Honestly, I'm not in the mood to interrogate today.And knowing the two are both stubbborn, it's just gonna be a waste of breath."So how long will you be here?" I inquired. Not that I don't want him here. I'm just curious. He never likes to leave our country. He was forced when he went to university in Oxford."I have two businesses to attend. It may take four to five days to settle, and then I'll fly back to Spain," he explained brie

    "A single moment of misunderstanding is so poisonous, that it makes us forget the hundred lovable moments spent together within a minute." - Khushi throneAlessandra's POVI opened my eyes, and squinted, until my vision adjusted to the bright light as it flooded the room. I'm glad it's Saturday. My eyes involuntarily traveled to the clock, and it says eleven in the morning. I've slept longer today. Then, I remembered my brother and Lucy. He took care of Lucy last night. "Did he sleep here?" I wondered.I sprang out of my bed, and scrambled to the washroom. I washed my face then brushed my teeth in haste. I washed my mouth as quickly as possible, and put my toothbrush back in the holder. And without glancing on the mirror like I used to, I walk... rather run downstairs. I found Lucy sitting at the table comfortably, looking well and refresh. No traces of being ill last night."Good morning Lu!" I chirped gleefully as I made my way to the kitchen counter, straight at the coffee machine

    Stavros' POV.I was still pre-occupied about what happened today. The New York Times Magazines had finally agreed to stop publishing the story. But they can't retrieve those that already sold out, which is just fine, it will definitely die down."Knock. Knock..""Come in," I said.Andrea opened the door and walked in a few steps. "Is there anything you need Sir, if nothing, may I leave?""Yes, you may leave Andrea." I consented dismissively."Thank you and enjoy the rest of the night Mr. Demakis," then she left closing the door behind her.I decided to just go home and do the rest of my work. I stuffed all the documents, bunch of folders in my suitcase then stood up and head out.I was walking to the door when I saw Ali holding on Lucy's hand. I got worried, As I was about to push the door open, I saw a very tall, very handsome guy with lightly tanned skin, blue eyes smiling as he approaches them, looking at Alessandra adoringly and kissed her on the cheeks. I froze then quickly turne

    Krystina's POV.Shit! Shit!!!!!I slammed the magazines on the coffee table and got up walking back and forth in my living room at my penthouse in New York. I know Stavros is back here in New York.Shit!"This is not true. It can't be right. She can't fall in love because Stavros doesn't do love!" I screamed.I need to make a move or else I'll lose him forever. I've waited long enough. I can't be just a toy to him forever. I deserve a title. Krystina Demakis. Yes, it sounds right! I said grinning foolishly.I took my laptop and turned on. I type in Maria Alessandra De La Vega on the searched engine. There's not much of a picture of her. A few with her father and her mom. Her mom is breathtakingly beautiful. A famous model on her time, beauty, and brain.I groaned in frustrations. I turned my laptop off. "If you want to know something about someone, call a detective," I murmured. And, I know someone just perfect for this job. He already worked for me.That's when I needed a background

    Alessandra's POV.I was so tired today, but happy that Stavros let me work in my office. He argued at first, but gave in after. I know Mr. Hernandez was happy today because the meeting with the client went well. And, he had left home early today because it's his wife birthday. Another reason why I insisted on working in my office to help my boss more so he can get off early.Tonight I'll be spending with Lucy and my beloved brother. It's going to be fun. I mean it sarcastically. My brother is always brooding. He's no fun at all. I don't understand why and how my best friend falls for him.I started putting the files in the filing cabinet and be done for the day. I was done and walk back to my desk when I saw Lucy at the door. I took my purse and walked to the door."How's your day?" I queried not mindful enough of her."I was fine while ago, but now, I'm feeling lightheaded," she replied in a coarse voice.My head suddenly whipped to her, she does look pale.

    Stavros' POV.It's been three days since I was back from Greece. And, all I did was working, though Alessandra was working in my office except today, because Mr. Hernandez needs her, according to her. Although Mr. Hernandez was ok without her, but she insisted and argued with me. So, I let her work in her office today before she gets mad at me and that's the last thing I wanted her to feel about me.I had to find a way to make her work with me. I was thinking about hiring her as my Personal Secretary, but what am I gonna do with Andrea?I won't be able to see her tonight. She said she will make it up to Lucy. I can't wait for the weekend to have her in my house. I was so happy when I saw that look in her eyes as she looked around my house. Definitely she loved what she had seen. She's the very first girl I brought in my house, of course except Luciana.There's a knock in the door. "Come in!" I called out.Andrea walks in with a magazine in her hand. "What is it, Andrea?"
