Chapter 58 - Seeing red

Alexis' POV

When Charlotte and I were having dinner, Thalia approached us, giving me a wicked smile. I clenched my fist, giving her a death glare.

"Good evening." She greeted us and gave us a fake smile.

"Good evening, Thalia." Charlotte said, emphasizing her name, forcing a smile, and rested her hand on top of mine. I squeezed her hand, looking at my wife lovingly.

"So Alex told you about me." Thalia commented, flashing me a smile.

"Of course. My husband doesn't hide anything from me." Charlotte replied confidently. "Why did you pretend to be someone else?" She asked, giving Thalia a questioning look while I was sure my beautiful wife was holding herself hard from strangling Thalia.

"I wanted to know you. I didn't think you would agree to talk to me."

"Yes. I don't find it necessary to be friends with my man's exes." Charlotte said arrogantly, still holding my hand while I was enjoying my wife's jealousy.

Thalia clenched her fist and looked at Charlotte furiously.

"I am sorry, but my husband and I want to enjoy our time alone together. At home. You know newlyweds prefer to stay alone." Charlotte commented devilishly and winked at her. Then she turned her gaze from angry Thalia to me and added seductively. "Let's go, my love."

I nodded in amusement, standing up, and held out my hand towards my amazing wife. She gave me a dazzling smile as she rested her hand on my hand, standing up.

"Goodbye, Thalia." She gave her a victorious smile before we walked towards the exit.

My driver opened the door for us as we approached the car. I pursed my lips together, trying not to laugh after getting into the car, and sat down beside Charlotte on the back seat. She still looked frustrated.

"Don't dare to say anything!" She exclaimed angrily when I wanted to say something.

"Alright, my tigress." I gave her a teasing smirk.

"Alexis!"

I raised my hands in the air in surrender. "I admit you are freaking sexy when you get angry." I commented huskily and bit my lower lip seductively.

"Alex!" She exclaimed and pursed her lips together, trying to hold her smile. She sighed and shook her head. "I don't like her at all or trust her."

"You shouldn't have." I stated firmly and held her hand. "I will do everything to keep her away from you." I promised, giving her a reassuring smile, and squeezed her hand. She nodded, smiling slightly, and rested her head on my shoulder.

Charlotte's POV

I was lying on the couch in my office; I fainted in the meeting in the conference room about twenty minutes ago. My assistant helped me to come here after I opened my eyes. I slightly felt better now. So I decided to rest till it passed totally. Meanwhile, my assistant went to bring me water.

Suddenly, the door opened, and Alexis rushed into the office anxiously. He wasn't at the agency when I fainted; he had a meeting outside.

"How do you feel, koukla mou?" He asked, concerned as he bent down in front of the couch and grabbed my hand, placing a soft kiss on my palm.

"I am fine. I didn't eat anything this morning. Because of it, I fainted." I replied, giving him a reassuring smile.

He shook his head in annoyance and caressed my cheek tenderly. "You don't take care of yourself."

When I wanted to say something, my assistant walked in, holding a glass of water in her hand. She greeted my husband and approached me. Alex straightened, greeting her back, and helped me to sit up before taking the glass.

"Bring something to eat for Charlotte." He ordered my assistant in an authoritative tone.

She nodded and left quickly without letting me say anything. I pursed my lips together, watching her leave. As every employee at our agency, she was intimidated by my Greek god.

"I don't want to eat anything. I am fine." I pouted and took a sip from my water.

"No, you will eat. You should take care of yourself." My husband stated firmly, resting his hand in his pocket.

I closed the lid of my laptop as I finished my meeting with my lawyer about my new cosmetic brand in the study room.

"Koukla mou." Alex said huskily, leaning against  the doorframe. "Dinner is ready. The chef was me today." He winked at me.

"We will see if the chef is good or bad." I commented cockily, making him chuckle, and approached him.

"I am good at everything, koukla mou." He said arrogantly as he wrapped his arms around my waist.

"My cocky Greek." I grinned, resting my hands on his hard chest.

"And for dessert, I have a special surprise for you." He informed me seductively, giving me a devilish look.

"Now I am curious." I bit my lower lip seductively, pressing my body against his.

"You... I... romantic music... bubbles... bath... and more." He said, playing kisses on my neck.

"Hmm... How about skipping dinner? I don't want to wait for my dessert." I suggested seductively and kissed the corner of his lips.

"No, koukla mou. You have to be patient." He shook his head and placed a chaste kiss on my lips. I pouted, disappointed. He grinned in amusement. "Let's have dinner before you faint again." Alex added, caressing my cheek affectionately, and led me towards the kitchen, holding my hand.

I yawned, rubbing my eyes, and got up, putting my silk robe on. Alex wasn't in the bedroom. Probably, he was having breakfast in the kitchen; he had a meeting early this morning.

I ruffled my hair and walked towards the mirror sleepily. I still felt tired. The last few days, as much as I tried to rest, I still wanted to sleep, feeling exhausted.

Suddenly, the door opened, and my gorgeous husband walked in, looking devilishly handsome as always.

"Good morning, agapi mou." I gave him a bright smile.

"Good morning, koukla mou." Alexis greeted me, giving me his charming smile, and hugged me from behind, placing soft kisses on my neck.

"Did you change your perfume?" I asked, grimacing as I felt nauseated and turned around, his arms still around my waist.

"Yes. Don't you like it?" He asked, stroking my cheek tenderly.

"No, it smells bad." I replied and pulled back, covering my mouth as nausea flooded over me. I walked towards the bed, taking deep breaths, and sat down on the bed. Fortunately, it passed after a few minutes.

He gave me a puzzled look. Then the corner of his lips curled up in a mischievous smirk.

"Are you pregnant?" He asked, giving me a curious look as he approached me.

"What?!" I exclaimed in surprise as my eyes widened.

"Before dizziness, now this." He commented suspiciously.

"No... I ... We used...condoms." I mumbled nervously, rubbing my forehead, thinking if we forgot to use it, getting caught in the moment or not.

"It isn't always effective." He commented and pursed his lips, trying to hide his smile. As much as he tried not to show it, he looked excited.

"No, don't talk nonsense." I shook my head, waving my hand dismissively as I stood up. "I am not." I added without knowing who I was trying to convince: Alex or myself. He gave me an unconvinced look. I frowned, annoyed. "Really! I am not. Just my husband has bad taste in choosing a perfume." I gave him a teasing look.

He grinned, amused. "At least, I am good at choosing a wife." He commented arrogantly and winked at me playfully.

"Arrogant jerk!" I exclaimed, rolling my eyes while trying to hold my smile.

"Hey, wifey! Watch your language." He warned me huskily, approaching me, and cupped my chin, trailing his finger over my lower lip. "Don't make me punish your pretty mouth like last week." He added provocatively and pulled my lower lip between his teeth.

I squeezed my legs together as I felt delicious tingling between them. Meanwhile, the scenes from that day flashed in my mind.

He gave me a cocky smirk as he pulled back slightly while guessing what I was thinking about. He bit his lower lip, looking at me with salacious eyes, setting me on fire.

I was breathing heavily while my body begged for his touch. I wanted more, but I knew we couldn't continue our seduction game because of his damned meeting.

He smirked, self-satisfied and took a step back.  "Fine. I will take shower and won't wear this perfume again." He informed me warmly and looked at me tenderly.

"Thanks." I nodded, giving him a warm smile.

"Everything for my beautiful wife." Alex winked at me. I smiled at my amazing husband.

***

When I was about to reach the agency, I saw Alex and Thalia in front of the agency building. I squeezed the steering wheel angrily, staring at them while she was giving my husband a seductive smile. She clung to him like a leech. Despite the fact, Alex tried to hide it from me because he didn't want me to get angry, I knew she had been calling him the last few weeks.

He even ordered the security guards in our penthouse building that they didn't let Thalia in after she had visited us at night unexpectedly, wanting to talk to Alex.
