All Chapters of Incompatible Love: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Melina's pov:Two weeks passed with Stavros traveling most of the days and I getting more and more bored every day. The good thing is that I am alone and no one is disturbing my peace. I had already taken breakfast when I decided to go for a ride with Autumn. It is the last days of November and I intend to take advantage of it. Soon the earth will get colder when the first snow will appear on the mountain peaks, and I will have to reduce my walks with Autumn. If I stop riding, I don't know how to cope with being at home all day. I have nothing to do there. I must find something to occupy myself. Thinking all these, I arrived home. I got off my horse and after I arranged it in the stable, I went inside. When I entered, Aggeliki was waiting for me at the door looking completely scared.-"My....my.... lady.......you have to go upstairs quickly."-"What? Why? What's going on Aggeliki?"It was then that I heard loud voices from the direction of Stavros's office. Somebody was arguing. I look

Melina's pov:The days passed quickly and the long awaited Duke ball was just hours away. I chose a long yellow dress that fitted my body with tulle sleeves to wear. I did a light makeup. Cat eyes and red lips. My hair was tied up in a bun.I paired the outfit with a beautiful fox fur coat. After a few hours of getting dressed and doing my makeup and hair, I was finally ready. I took one last satisfied look in the mirror and headed for the door. As I was going down the stairs, I saw the back of Stavros waiting for me at the top of the stairs. He wore a black tuxedo with a black coat over it. He looked very handsome and masculine. When he realized my presence he turned back and looked at me with amazement.-"You look absolutely charming" he said looking me straight in the eyes. Then he took my hand and gave it a small peck. This action gave me the chills. Although this is not the first time a man touches me, never before has a touch had such an effect on me. I just don't understand wh

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

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

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
