Lucas Dow's POV
I was looking at myself when I was trying to get the tie right. I was looking at myself when I slicked my hair back so that I will not have to do anything that will attract the Greek heiress to me. I already have my own Aphrodite here when she was trying to do my tie with her perfume was hitting my nose like crazy.
I have to make sure that I will not throw her onto the bed when I was supposed to be meeting the Greek heiress now.
"There, all done," Ari said as I was smiling before I was looking at myself. I frowned before Ari was looking at me.
"What's wrong?" She asked before I was shaking my head.
"Nothing, it was just too…"
"Nice?"
"No, fancy. I don't want to attract unwanted attention when I was dressing nicely for the meeting. It will give the wrong impression," I said before Ari laughed at my statement. I scowled at her.
"I'm serious!"
"So do I. But I think you will not be attracting the wrong attention. I think people will respect you,��� Ari said before she kissed me. I was pulling her closer before she moaned.
"Lucas, no. You have to go out tonight," she said before she was licking her lower lips. I groaned even more.
"After the meeting. Then I will fulfill your desire," Ari said before I was arching my eyebrow at her.
"Promise?" I asked her as I was showing my pinky to her. Arianna laughed before she was taking my pinky into her.
"Promise and I will make sure that you will be satisfied with it," she said before her eyes were dilating at me. I smirked before I was putting on my suit and I was buttoning up.
"It always turns me on when you were doing that," Ari said as she was caressing my chest with her hands. I was gripping her wrists before she was smirking at me.
"Tut, tut, tut. Later, as you promised. I don't want to be late for this meeting. I think Scott will be laughing at me as well as my godfather," I said as I sighed before Arianna was arching her eyebrow at me.
"Godfather? I don't know that you were involved with the mafia," Arianna said before I was tinkling her. She laughed before she was getting away from me.
"Okay, okay. Sorry, my bad. So, who is this godfather that you were talking about? Did I know him?'' Arianna asked me before I was imagining the stern face of my godfather as well as my trainer when I was a youth.
"Uh, no. He was not the kind of person that runs with your group," I said before Ari was crossing her hands at me.
"And what group is that?" She asked before I was turning to look at her. She was furious before I was smirking at her. I was pulling her closer to me before she was glaring at me.
"Well, the one that broke the law. I tell you, that man was as strict as he was with the law. He will not bend the law for anything,"
"So you mean he was a strict warden of the prison?'' Ari said as she was smiling at me. I smiled back.
"Something like that. He was that strict," I said as I was nodding at the memory.
"Wow. I hope that man will not know about my history then," Arianna said before I was smirking at her. I kissed her before I was cursing under my breath. I have to go now.
"I have to go. I see you later, my love," I said before I was kissing her again. She was kissing me before I was running for the door.
"Drive safe," Arianna said as I was locking the door before I was out of the apartment and dashed to my car. I unlocked it and sliding in before I was starting the ignition. I was looking at the rearview mirror before I was speeding off to the restaurant of the hotel that I was staying before I moved in with Arianna.
It was a chill drive. Not much traffic when I was arriving in front of the hotel before I was valet parking. I was turning the keys to the valet boy before I was walking into the lobby. I don't see the normal receptionist, Alexandra on the counter before I was moving toward the restaurant. I was smiling at the hostess before she was asking me for the table.
"Addington," I said before she showed me to the table that was secluded from everyone else. I don't know why we were sitting here but I saw that Addington and Scott were having drinks before Scott perked up when I was approaching them.
"Well, well, the guest of honor is here," Scott said as we hugged before I was shaking hands with Addington
"I am not the heiress, dumbass," I said before I took my seat and a waiter was pouring the wine for me into a glass. I thanked him before I was sipping on the wine and looked at my watch.
"I thought the meeting was 8 PM?" I asked before Addington smirked at me.
"Boy, this is the high society of Greece, of course, we have to be here early or it would be an insult for her," Addington said before I was rolling my eyes, trying to control my anger when I wanted to get this over with and I can go home to my wife early and maybe just spend some more time with her as I was wasting more time here.
"You should have told her that—"
"Here she comes," Addington whispered to me before I was closing my eyes as I was trying to ignore the insult that the Greek heiress did not think about other than herself.
"Princess, thank you so much for coming," Addington said before I heard a very distinctive voice replied to him.
"No worries. My husband was rushing around before I have the time to dress myself up and my cousin was late so it was our fault really,"
"Please, my deepest apology," Tomas said before I was turning to look at a woman that has deceived me for a second time. I was gripping my hand into a fist before Arianna was smirking wickedly at me.
"So, you're the Interpol agent that was recovering my Citrine? Please, accept my gratitude, sir, for your help cannot be simply paid by money," Ari said as she was bowing at me. I scoffed before I was nodding at her before I was glaring at her. She smirked.
You will pay for this!
"So, let's have that conversation and settle this now, shall we?" Tomas said as he was winking at me before I was taking my seat. I was in front of my wife who was a Greek heiress that I don't even know about.
"Is there anything else that you would like to disclose this, ma'am?" I asked her before she was playing with her wedding and engagement rings.
"Why yes. My husband was a very jealous man. So I suggest you not to hit on me, sir. It would be wise if you focus your attention elsewhere," Arianna said as I was narrowing my eyes. I was about to reply to her before Addington was clearing his throat and I was shutting my mouth.
"So, here are the documents for the evidence that the Citrine of Greece was stolen and the documentation that you are the rightful heir for the gemstone. I hope it was in order,'' Addington said in his business tone before I was staring at Arianna and she was going over the paper with Tomas.
Damn woman, I did that with you!
I was glaring at her murderously before Arianna was looking at me again and this time, her smile was wicked and she was about to play with fire.
Well, game on sweetheart.
Arianna Contos' POV
"So, just sign here, here, and here. After that, it's all yours," Addington said as I was signing the papers that Lucas went over with me. I was smiling before I felt the murderous glare of my husband was on the back of my head.
I laughed inwardly as I know that he was furious before I was giving the papers to Addington and Scott was picking the box that contained the Citrine of Greece.
My family heirloom was now mine.
"So, I think we're done here?" Tomas said as I was looking at Scott and Addington. I know that Lucas was about to explode when the other three-person that was not related to me was moving away when I saw that Lucas was glaring at them.
"Thank you for your corporation,"
"I will get going now,"
"Have a nice dinner,"
The trio was now off from the table. I was left with Lucas as he was glaring at me before I was smiling, putting my chin in my hand as I was leaning closer to him.
"So, husband, what shall we have for dinner?" I asked as I was looking at him. Lucas clenched his jaw before I was batting my eyelashes.
"I think, it will be good if you tell me the truth, wife," he said before I nodded at him.
"Okay, I will. My real name is Princess Arianna Adonia Contos Levakis. But I refused to be related to that so I just go with Arianna Contos. When I told you my name is Adonia in the past, it was part of my real name and I know for a fact that you're a gentry from Scotland. So if we both want to get mad with each other, I think I have a better option for that," I said as I was looking at Lucas. He arched his eyebrow at me.
"And that is?" He asked before I was leaning closer to him.
"We could fuck and get lost in each other arms," I said before his eyes darkened.
"Deal," he said as we were both out of the restaurant and make haste to our apartment.
