Playing with Fire

Chapter 54 - Loving him

Charlotte's POV

His jaw clenched as soon as I confessed. "Great! Now there is another fucking bastard!" He muttered between his gritted teeth. "So I was entertaining you till you get together with your new lover."

I gave him a dirty look. "Yes, he is a bastard, but love is blind." I commented nonchalantly, shrugging my shoulders as I decided to torture him because he thought I could act like that. Sometimes Alexis made me want to strangle him, but what I could do; I love this annoying jerk.

He stood up angrily and threw his napkin onto the table. "I am tired. Sweet dreams!" He said dryly without looking at me.

"Won't you ask me who the man I am in love with is?" I asked, raising my eyebrow as I stood up and approached him when he wanted to go upstairs.

"No, it is none of my business. As long as it doesn't affect our agreement, you are allowed to love who you want." He replied icily.

I sighed, shaking my head. "You know he is a real jerk who often makes me strangle him, but I love that damn blue-eyed Greek." I commented and gave him a mischievous grin.

Alexis narrowed his eyebrows in confusion. "What?"

"I am in love with you, Alex, and yes, you called yourself a bastard a few minutes ago." I stated, amused and winked at him playfully.

After getting rid of his surprise, Alex wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me into his chest as a wide grin appeared on his face and he spun me around happily. I laughed, squeezing his shoulders tightly.

"I love you, koukla mou." He gave me a wide smile, cupping my cheeks as he put me down carefully.

"I love you too, agapi mou." I winked at him. He grinned happily and placed a chaste kiss on my lips before dragging me with him to our bedroom.

I was looking at my engagement ring while smiling ear-to-ear in my office. Alex surprised me and asked me to marry him two days ago. He told me that he wouldn't ask me to marry him with another ring because when he gave me my engagement ring, deep down in his heart he knew I was the one for him, and he wished this ring would always stay on my finger despite the fact it started fake.

Alexis admitted that he wouldn't have been able to get me out off his head since he laid his eyes on me for the first time in Mykonos. Moreover, he confessed that the main reason why he bought the agency was me. I was surprised when I heard about it.

When I asked why he was against being a co-partner with me then, Alex replied that even if it was me, he never wanted any co-partners in business because he didn't like when his decisions were questioned or objected to. Especially 50/50 business partnerships. Because they often caused problems between partners.

Alexis revealed that when we started dating after our agreement, he enjoyed spending time with me, and he didn't want this agreement to end.

I took a sip from my coffee and went to see my fiancé. When I approached his door, it was ajar, and his secretary wasn't in her place. I frowned as I heard a woman's voice coming inside the room. It looked familiar, but I couldn't remember who she was.

When I pushed the door open and walked in, I saw a brunette wrapping her arms around Alex's neck. I gritted my teeth in irritation and gave them a death glare. Alex gulped nervously and pushed the woman away by grabbing her arms.

"Charlotte..." He mumbled, rubbing the back of his neck anxiously as he approached me.

"Won't you introduce us to each other, Alex?" The woman asked wickedly, walking towards us.
