Nicolai Petropoulis' POV

"There's nothing to talk about us, Nico." She hissed as she tried to yank her hand away of my hold. I grip her wrist firmly as I dragged her down to the parking lot.

"Yes, there is. A LOT!" I emphasized the last part as I tried to control my temper. She's really frustrating. I thought she got it, that I want her, that I love her, but it seems she don't get it.

"Let go of me. I needed to stay away from you, don't you get it?" She snaps as she stood in front of me. Stopping me from opening the passenger's door of my car.

"Why?" I asked, with furrowing forehead. "I know you still love me, Elle. You gave me yourself, and I was the first. I know how much that means to you." I sputtered frustratedly, still feeling dumbfounded. "I love you, and this isn't my plan to win you back, but then I was surprised to see you changed tremendously." I let out a loud breath before continuing. "I wasn't in for a surprise. You're completely different Elle, and I don't know how to win you back. I just took every opportunity." I said softly, too emotionally.

She was staring at me, flabbergasted.

"You love me?" barely above a whisper. I nodded.

"Yes. That night when you collapsed, and I thought you're not breathing. I was so terrified. I felt that sudden emptiness and pain of losing you. I felt that awful feelings that I never felt before and I realized ... I realized, I love you so much ... that it pained me, leave me broken to think that you're dying." I felt the stray tear rolled over my cheeks.

I felt her thumb wiping the lone tear. Her soft gray eyes that I adored was staring at me deeply, with so much adoration. "How about my sister?" She uttered with her voice faltering. I could feel that deep emotions lace in her words.

"I left that day, my supposed wedding. I made a deal with your dad." I explained briefly.

She suddenly pinned her eyes to mine, eyes that's full of burning curiosity. "What deal?" she breathes.

"To prove if I'm worth to you. That's why I left Athens that day and flew to Italy, thinking to start over to where I was born, but then, I found myself to Milan. And there, I met this man, he hired me because he saw in me that potential that even my father didn't see in me." I taste the bitterness as I remember the day I told my father to leave and start over. He didn't say anything. Mom was begging me not to leave.

"You didn't marry my sister?" Her eyes widened, looking surprised. My forehead furrowed even more. Did she thought I marry Victoria? Didn't she check my ring finger?

"Of course I didn't. I don't love her. It's you that I love." I chuckled. Now I understand. "Is it that's why you don't want to live with me, because you thought I'm married to Vicky?" I asked and she nodded. Then suddenly, her eyes were full of tears.

"I won't come running after you, if I'm married Elle. I love you too much to marry another girl." I pulled her to my chest and pressed my lips on her head. She snake her hands around my waist and nuzzled her head against my chest. I could feel her hot breath through my shirt and her tears.

"I love you so much Nico. I have loved you since I know what love and crushes means." She confessed and my heart almost jumped out of my ribcage. I'm the happiest man alive.

"And I love you so much, sweet pea." I responded and then pull a bit away to look into her face. I wipe the tears on her eyes with my thumbs. And then kissed her passionately. "Now, will you live with me? I can't bear being away with you, not even a day, sweet pea." I said.

"Yes." She nodded and then she stood on her tippy toes and kiss me boldly.

"Now, you're my official girl friend." I declared and she chuckled her yes.

........................................

"I already fax the contracts and property documents, zio. The place is ready for you." I explained while whisking the eggs. I was talking to zio Vincenso on my bluetooth while making breakfast.

I felt Elle's hand around my waist and place the glass bowl with whisked egg on the counter. I turned the stove to low and then turned to face my sweet pea.

"Morning!" I murmured and pulled her closer to me. My hands around her slim soft waist. My lower member got so excited again, as I felt her soft body pressed against my hard ones.

"That's good, figlio. I will be flying then tomorrow night." I heard zio on the other line. "Will you be picking me at the airport, or you're flying to Athens soon?" he asked.

I was kissing Elle and she was kissing me back. "Figlio?" I heard him calling my attention. I grinned as I pulled my lips away from her tempting ones. She nuzzled her head against my chest and I wrap my hands around her.

"Yes, zio. I will bring my girl friend with me." I said. Elle look up to meet my eyes, questioningly.

"Che cosa? Hai avuto una ragazza?" (What? You had a girlfriend?) I could see his eyes widening in surprise.

"Later, sweet pea." I mouth and she nodded. She was about to pull herself away from me, but I held her firmly, as I groaned in disapproval.

"I need to drink, hon." She mouth and I reluctantly released her, but my eyes followed her. Gosh, she's only wearing my white shirt that barely reach her mid thigh, and she doesn't wear any bra, just her g-string.

And man, I had to use all my willpower not to yank her again on the island counter. Last night, we didn't sleep much, I ravished her until she was sore.

"Sì , zio . È una lunga storia." (Yes, zio. It's a long story.) I responded as I watch Elle stood on her tippy toes to reach out a glass from the hanging cupboard. The hem of my shirt then lifted up and exposed her flawless rounded ass.

My crotch suddenly feels tighter.

"I will see you then, figlio."

"Si, zio. I'll see you tomorrow. Have a safe flight." I responded shortly and then I heard the dial tone. I quickly unplugged the bluetooth out of my ear, and place it on the island counter.

I walk closer to Elle and hug her from behind. I nuzzled my head on the crook of her neck. She really smells so good. So sexy and I'm already so turned on.

"I'm hungry, hon. I needed breakfast." She placed the empty glass on the counter close to the sink and then turned around. She curled her hands around my neck and I captured her lips.

It's a bit swollen.

"Alright. I will just finish the cheese omellete. Bacon and sausage is ready." I smiled and gave her another brief kiss which she responded passionately.

"I'll make the espresso." She beams and then sexily walk to the espresso capsule machine and I went back to the stove and finish the omellete.

...............................................

"This is so good." She pop a cut piece of her omelette in her mouth and even close her eyes as she chewed on. I felt so happy and contented seeing her happy, eating with me and still surprises me that she's mine now.

My official girlfriend.

"Can you stay home today? You know you don't need to work. I can sustain your needs?" I asked her like the umpteenth times.

"I love what I'm doing Nico. And besides, I don't have anything to do here?" She pouted and I almost jumped out of my sit and kissed those tempting lips.

I really can't get my hands off her. She's like my addiction.

"Well, you can just sit beside me while I do work? Or kissed me and hug me when I'm frustrated with all the documents I'm reading." I grinned mischievously. I made a sip of my vanilla espresso as I stared at her.

"Hon, if I'll sit beside you, I'm sure, you will never finish anything." She playfully rolls her eyes.

She's right. Since I can't get my hands off her. I can't resist not kissing her every chance I get. I just can't get enough of her.

"Don't worry. When we have kids, I will be stay-at-home mom and wife." Her smile widened and I felt overwhelmingly happy.

"Well, then finish your breakfast and let's make our babies." I grinned wolfishly. Her cheeks then turned crimson.

"It's not because I said that, we will make it now!" She glares at me and I chuckled. She was trying to conceal her flustered face, by looking further down on her plate and cutting her omelette.

"We will end there, sweet pea. You will be carrying my child very soon." I wriggled my eyebrows suggestively, and she nodded her head in disbelief.

"How sure are you that you're not sterile?" She challenged.

"Of course, I'm not!" I opposed, with my forehead knitted together. "It's not in our genes, sweet pea. I can give you a dozen kids." I boasted as I grinned devilishly.

Her eyes widened, with her cheeks as red as the ripe tomato. "Gosh, you're so pervert!" She said.

I let the laughters that I had been stifling. I was so amused.

When my laughters died down, I saw her serious face staring at me. I quickly straightened myself and force myself to get serious. "What's so funny?" She cock her eyebrow's up.

"You know I was just joking, sweet pea." I felt like I was in a hot seat as she gave me that serious stare.

I don't know, but I felt scared. Funny, she's short but I felt intimidated. Well, I just don't want her to get mad at me. I thought to justify my feelings.

"Can we talk something else, Nico. This topic is just too, you know..." She looks down on her plate and resumed eating, finishing her last piece of omelette. Then she sip her hazelnut espresso.

"Alright." I agreed, not wanting to embarrass her more. She still looks innocent.

..................................

"You're not going out like that, sweet pea." I grit out as I look her up and down. She was wearing this black sleevless empire bodycon dress suit that hugged her perfect curves with the hem a few inches above her knee.

"Hon, I've been using this for a while. It's not too revealing, alright?" She's already pissed.

"No. Not even that!" I said as I shook my head profusely.

She looks at me, completely vexed. "This is the right outfit that you don't want me to wear. All my dress are all body hugging." She tried to explains it to me the obvious. "Gosh, Nico. What am I gonna do with you!" She turns on her heel and walk back inside her walk-in closet, livid.

I followed her.

She rummaged through her dresses hanging on the rod. "I'm done." She hastily turn to face me. "Since you're choosing which outfit you wanted me to wear, then find me one." She declared with a huff, and then walk out of the closet.

I just shrugs my shoulders. I went through her dresses and they are all too sexy for me. I don't want her to go to work and parading her body. Those were for my eyes only.

I look through all her suit pants, and I found one that wasn't too fitted. I pulled the pants, and then found a white tee, maybe match it with her coral blazer that I saw hanging together with her dresses.

I walk out of her walk-in closet and happily handed the garments to her. Her eyebrow involuntarily thrusted up as she check the clothing.

She rolled her eyes and was about to march to the washroom, but I grab her wrist.

"Change it here." I grinned and she glared at me.

"I can't believe I'm dating a pervert." She exclaimed, exasperated. I just chuckled as I sat on the edge of her bed, and watch her pulled her dress off her. She was now standing in front of me, with only her lacy red bra paired with a red lacy thong.

I gulped inaudibly couple of times as I tried to keep my ass glued on the bed, otherwise, she will be late with her meeting.

"Stop staring at me, Nico!" She hissed. Her cheeks flustered and I just chuckled. I really love seeing her blushing.

"So who's this client you are meeting with?" I asked ignoring my lower member getting excited again.

After tucking the white tee inside her black suit pants, she puts on her coral blazer and I thought it looks nice on her, plus the fact that it kept her curves hidden from all this prying eyes from the opposite sex.

"I don't know. JJ just emailed it to me last night. I didn't get to read who is this guy?" she said as she walk to her closet again.

A guy?

No way she's going to meet a guy without me.

I rose on my feet and shove my hands inside my pockets as I waited her to come out from her closet. She was holding a tan heels and she slips it on.

Now, she looks more stunning with that killer hills. I wonder how can she walk without being trip with that sky high heels.

"You said, he's a man?" I asked, tearing my eyes off the killer shoes and up to her eyes.

"Yes. Why?" She furrowed her forehead as she walks past me and grab her purse.

"I will come with you. Let's meet this client of yours."

She stops from her tracks as she was about to head to the door. "Aren't you have calls to make?" She asked.

"That can wait." I said as I walk beside her. "Let's go. You're going to be late." I said feigning a nonchalance tone.

She quietly followed me.

............................................

"Elixir?" Elle's face lit up when she recognized the client she was meeting. I held my temper at bay. I was so jealous and of all the people here in New York, why it has to be this guy.

"No way! Eleanor Pallos, what are you doing here?" Elixir opens his arms to give her a hug. I was about to grab her waist to keep her away from him, but she was too fast. She walk closer to him and let him hug her.

Dammit!

I don't know how did I do it, but I was still standing there behind Elle, with my temper at bay.

"It's nice to see you again, Elle. I have been calling your number, but it's always offline." The guy blabbered.

"Ehem.." I fake cough to get their attention. It seems that my girl friend had forgotten me.

"It's Nicolai Petropoulis, right?" The guy said and I nodded with a murderous face.

Elle smiled at me as she tug my hand to her side. "You remember him, Nico?" She asked.

I clenched my jaw before nodding my head.

"So Mr. Petropoulis still baby sits you huh?" He suddenly remarks that made me lost my temper. My eyes shooting daggers at him. If Elle didn't stood in between us, I would have wipe the grin in his face, with my fist.

"Elixir, he's my boyfriend." Elle said as she turned to face him. He looks surprised as he shifted his gaze between me and Elle.

"Oh, I thought he was engaged to your sister?" He asked, still look unconvinced. "When I found you and saw you're a realty agent, I decided to see you." He continued on.

I grit my teeth.

"You're too late, Mr. Andromeda. She's mine." I declared as I stared into his eyes. He seems unfazed.

"Nico," I felt Elle's hand rested on my chest to stop me.

"Were you here to talk about the condo you wanted to buy, Elix?" She asked. She sat on the chair and I occupied the chair beside her, and rested my hand on the top of her chair support.

"Well, technically yes." Elixir didn't bother to look at me. His eyes was obviously scanning my girl friend. I was just respecting my girl friend, if not I would have break his face the moment he shamelessly flirted to my girl.

"Well then, let's discuss what type of condos you were looking for." Elle started.

I was watching them talking the whole time. Once in a while, Elix drops some flirting words, and it really pisses me off. Elle just kept ignoring it.

Finally, the one hour meeting the felt like a year, was done. We are walking back to my car.

"I don't want you to meet that guy again, sweet pea." I said, but it sounded demanding.

"I'm sorry hon, but all my team were full." Elle stops and face me. "Don't worry. I'm not going to replace you with him .." She smiled reassuringly. She close our gap and curled her hands around my neck. "I love you Nico." Then she stood on her tippy toes and kissed me.

I automatically wrap my hands around her waist and kissed her back. We were oblivious around us. The anger and jealousy I felt a moment ago was now replaced with happiness and contentment.

"Let's go." She said as soon as we both pulled away to draw breath.

Eleanor Pallos' POV

I woke up feeling happy and contented. I turned on my side and watch Nico's handsome face. His hands was drape around me, so were his legs. Even when he's sleeping, he's so possessive.

I just love him. Everything he does, I love it. And each day, I love him even more. "I love you!" I said and kissed him before I gently untangled his hands off me and so were his legs.

I quietly crawled out of the bed and glance on the clock beside me. I decided to make the breakfast today. Yesterday, it was him. And later, we will go pick up his zio.

I smiled at the thought. Everything went so fast.

He's now my boyfriend.. I can't be more happier. I felt so complete. My life is complete.

I was about to walk to the washroom, when I saw a text message. I grab my cellphone that was sitting beside the small clock on my bedside table and check the text.

It came from an unknown number.

"You are mine, Elle. Mine!" I drop the phone with my heart racing rapidly, pounding loudly against my ribcage.

Stalker?

No, this is just a joke.

I look around the quiet room, the window that was still covered with the dark brown curtain to block the light.

I felt terrified. I tried to shook the horrifying thoughts, but I couldn't. Who the hell this stalker is?
