Nik

I stared at the top of her head in confusion, unsure of how the woman who had left me in bed this morning with a note stuck to the fridge was being all lovey dovey right now.

I looked at Serena for help, unsure what this was about but I barely had time to process that when I saw the angry man stalking towards us with a bloody nose.

I looked down at El, and she smiled sweetly at me again, that I couldn’t help feeling whatever anger or worry I’ve been feeling all day dissolve away.

  • For Better or Buisness   chapter 129: Peristeraki

    Nik had kissed her before many times. He had kissed her gently, he had kissed her coaxingly, he had even kissed her teasingly—especially during those earlier times when we were on our baby moon, before the twins came. Later had come the impassioned kisses, the ones he’d struggled to keep in check because their desires had ignited so easily then. Today he was kissing me with so much anger and angst. “Nik..” I called out in fear, my entire body was shaking. The depths of the emotions I was feeling felt like it could topple me and swallow me whole “Don't…” my voice fell on deaf ears, and he looked as if he was quite set on not listening to me. “ Don't what?” He bit out tersely. “I hate you.” I rasped out, my breath now falling in short heavy pants, responding in full to the man whose weight had me pinned to the bed. “Yes, but you want me. You want me so bad that you can't even deny it.” His response was so true that the flimsy tee shirt I had pulled on when I crawled into bed earl

    . “What does that mean?” He asked, staring at me, his eyes almost shooting daggers at me. “Whatever you think it means master,” I was goading him intentionally. I don't even know why, but my entire body was primed for a fight. Tension was rolling off him in waves, “careful, Peristeraki,” he warned. “Ah. So somehow you're uncomfortable with having a whore,” I turned towards him and immediately his fingers balled by his sides in a fist and watched his face contorted in anger. “So you're a whore now?” He spat out. “ Whore, call girl, someone you pay for to spend the time or night with you, what's the difference” fear was rising in the pit of my belly at how numerous the look on his face was, but somehow, I needed the leash on his control to snap off. Just as I predicted, his hand came down going round my throat, to hold it in a tight grip, almost firm enough to sting and cut short my air supply, but not enough to fully choke me. “Every single time you've opened your mouth tonight

    ELAINE. I adjusted the strap of my bikini and stared at the man beside me with pity. “Here” handing him a sunscreen in a stick formula so he could apply over his exposed areas. Today was the only day since we got to South Korea that we were just lounging and resting. Turns out that I’m the partner that likes to explore and cram a thousand activities on vacation, while he is the one who thinks it’s an opportunity to rest and reset in a new location. What’s the point of coming down here if we are not going to explore? So with his one and half leg we had been doing a food tour through South Korea. I am so lucky that this trimester didn’t have nausea in it, and I’ve been able to eat to my satisfaction albeit with my antacid close by because I’ve been having the worst heartburns. I watched him apply the sunscreen grudgingly and my heart swelled in warmth. This semi naked man with ripped chest and abs, tanned skin and a face that could equal a Greek god was mine. I don’t know when

    “What happened to your face?” I watched him from my position at the vanity and dropped the under eye cream I was applying unceremoniously so that it was the only sound in the room. I could sense that he was going to shut down before he even did. “Nothing.” He shrugged. My eyes followed him as he pulled off his shirt which looked rough, another indication that he was in a fight or squabble. “Who hit you?” I asked instead. Obviously the black eye and bursted lip was an indication that someone did. “Someone disgruntled I know from the past.” He avoided my gaze as he spoke, and chose instead to begin to undress before going straight into the bathroom. I know that I should leave it but somehow the unnecessary secrecy only served to make me even more worried. I swallowed my next words and completed my night routine. It was usually simple; wear my hair in a silk scarf, because it was better for hair health, cleanse my face after brushing my teeth, and then apply my under eye cream, my

    : ELAINE. “Stay longer” Nik's deep, groggy voice muttered against my temples and I let myself relax in his arms. Last night was a long bout of lovemaking and thinking about the things we did, the things he made me do, made me feel like getting dunked in holy water. The soreness between my legs was a testimony. I stayed there in his arms watching him fall back asleep. I stayed there for a while, before I finally fell back asleep. I finally woke up past noon, and gently detangled myself from his embrace which ended up waking him. “What's the time?” He asked, his voice still muffled. “1pm.” Looking anywhere but at the stark naked man lying beside me. “What?” He shouted, and I couldn't help the laughter that bubbled out of me. His shocked expression looked so comical. “I can't remember ever waking up this late in a long time” he sat up and stretched his torso and I couldn't help licking my lips. He truly had the body of a super model. All his dieting and exercise

    Elaine. I shuffled in my chair uncomfortable by the sharp scrutiny of Nik's mother's eyes. I had let the chef cook dinner, because I'm not sure I can handle her judging my cooking. I really wished I could just drink red wine or something to distract myself from the awkwardness that was going on presently. Over the last 6 months I've seen first hand how tense things could get between Nik and his parents and I was mentally dreading the drama. “So, when were you going to tell us you were pregnant?” Her outburst had me coughing not expecting it. I drank a lot of water, surprised she knew but shot Nik a glance, and he shrugged. “We were going to tell you very soon ma” I wasn't sure the best way to placate her. “Hmn.” She snorted. “What matters the most, is that you are now carrying an heir to the Stavros line. This is especially important to your husband I'm sure.” I smiled and nodded gently. “I hope you know you're not getting the deeds to those businesses until the

    Elaine Nik stiffened beside me the moment he saw her and so did I. She had a small duffel bag at her feet, and when she got to where I was standing she made to hug me and I hugged her back loosely. “I know you haven't gotten back to me regarding what we discussed but I just couldn't stay in that

    I watched the girls get ready in the dorm room and my heart knocked over and over in my chest ribcage. It wasn't like I was doing anything majorly wrong but I still felt anxious about it. After all, I'm an adult and I don't need to report or ask for permission from him, before I go about my day

I thought of telling Elaine I was coming but decided against it last minute. Choosing instead to wait till I got home. My choice was proved right wh
