The Billionaire’s Blackmailed Heiress(50)

She had seen as he had frowned softly down at her, his hand moving to take a piece of her hair absently running it down her cheek “What if I asked you to stay…to stay on the island with me?”

Her eyes had flown to his in disbelief “You are asking me to stay with you…here?”

His look had become a little uncomfortable “Well not here, I think that we both need our space…but here on the island. I can buy you a house, make sure that you never need to work again…you don’t have to go back”.

Mina had felt her heart which had swollen at his first words break into a thousand shards, pushing him slightly from her as she had fought hard to keep her face impassive, to not let him see her upset.

“You mean like your mistress”.

His lips twitching once more “Maybe…but not a part time one…more like…a full time one”.

“Wow that is quite a step for you” she had bitten out, Nikos frowning softly at the change in her “It is what we both want isn’t it?” his voice soft.

Shaking her head, she had kept her eyes averted.

“No Nikos…it is not”, sighing gently the realisation that this was indeed a big step for him, possibly the most that he would ever be willing to offer a woman hitting her. Looking sadly back at him she had hardened her heart, fighting the way it yearned for even this small branch of hope, the chance to spend more time with him, her head for once winning as she had raised her head slightly to run her tongue along his lips.

“We both know that it is best I go home after the vote. I came here to make my mother’s last wishes come true…and they did…thanks to you, but now it is time I got on with my life”.

Frowning he had moved has hand to pull her hips harder into him, Mina moaning with the way her body had instantly gone up like a torch, Nikos kissing her cheek as he had whispered against her ear.

“Well I have four more days to change your mind Mina, and I never fail to get what I want, and right now I want you”.

As she had opened her mouth to argue, his had covered hers, the flames licking even harder as she had kissed him back her arms flying once more around his neck.

A small growl had left him as he had laughed “Wow…looks like we got our breath back”.

The two once more losing themselves in the need for the other.





Chapter Six


Opening the door, she had smiled seeing Alexander stood on the doorstep.

“Alexander!”, she had cried, her happiness at seeing him genuine, as he had grinned back at her.

“Nikos around?” he had laughed, his head looking around playfully as she had chuckled shaking her lovely head.

“No…he is working”, moving backwards to let him in.

“Can I get you a drink?” she had thrown over her shoulder moving into the dining room. Smiling he had nodded back “Oh yes…whiskey, water and ice …but hold the water”.

Giving a slight frown she had looked disapprovingly at him “I meant tea or coffee Alexander” her tone school matronly “You are driving aren’t you?”

Giving a chuckle he had nodded back finally settling on the coffee as she had flipped on the kettle that was hidden in one corner of the expansive room.

“This is a lovely surprise” she had smiled, as her step-brother had moved closer to her, his face suddenly so serious.

“Can I ask you something Mina?”

Nodding, her mood becoming more sombre “Of course Alexander…of course you can” looking down at her he had come right out with it, “Who are you voting for?”

Mina had gasped in surprise, suddenly feeling uncomfortable and uneasy “I…I really don’t think that is any of your business” she had stuttered softly, her eyes looking beseechingly into his “It is a secret ballot Alexander”.

Stepping back, his features had become harder “If you and Nikos have an agreement then that seems very unfair to me don’t you think? I would hope that you would at least give me the courtesy of honesty”.

Savaging her lower lip she had looked back, her features full of indecision before she had finally given a small sigh “I am going to be voting with Nikos, Alexander. I promised him a long time ago that I would and I see no reason to change my mind”.#p#分页标题#e#

Nodding softly he had pulled something from his pocket, Mina frowning seeing a business card in his fingers “Maybe you should reconsider. If we vote against him then we stand to make a great deal of money…and I really need money Mina”.

She had moved further away from him.

“I’m sorry Alexander. I will not vote against him or for you to strip down his company”.
