Charlotte's POV

When we came back from our honeymoon, a surprise was waiting for us in our penthouse. Anastasia was waiting for us here, and she looked angry.

"Mom? What are you doing here?" Alex asked, puzzled as we approached his mother.

"Do you want to tell me anything?" She asked dryly, ignoring Alex's question.

"What?" Alex asked her, puzzled and turned his gaze from her to me. I shrugged my shoulders, confused.

"I know you lied to us about your relationship. You two fooled everyone because Alex could get his inheritance." Anastasia stated firmly and gave us a disappointed look.

I gulped nervously and looked at Alex, panicked while he was staring at his mother, frozen, his face pale.

He cleared his throat, clenching his fist, and asked, trying to control his voice as much as possible. "Who told you this?"

"Rebecca. By the way, she looks forward to being with you as soon as you get your inheritance." Anastasia replied bitterly.

"Damn it!" Alex cursed under his breath while his muscles tensed.

"You disappointed me so much, Alex." His mother commented, shaking her head.

"Mom, it isn't..."

"Stop lying, Alex!" Anastasia exclaimed angrily, cutting him off.

"Mom, please let me explain. Yes, it started like this. I didn't have another choice; you know about my grandpa's blackmail. I couldn't lose our company." Alex sighed, running his hand through his hair. "But everything changed. Charlotte and I love each other. We don't pretend anymore." Alex confessed honestly as he held my hand and looked at me, full of love in his eyes.

"Alex is right, Anastasia. I and Alex are in love. We got married because we love each other, not because of the inheritance." I reassured her.

She looked at us, thinking. "Fine. I will decide what to do with you two later. Till that, I won't take my eyes off you." She stated firmly.

"What?" Alex asked, puzzled.

"I decided to stay with my son and daughter-in-law for a while." She informed us, giving us a devilish smirk.

"What?!" Alex exclaimed, dumbfounded.

"Alex, what is going on with you? You repeat this word like a parrot." She smirked wickedly.

It had been two weeks since Anastasia came to stay with us. She had been keeping her eyes on us as she told us; it felt like there was the paparazzi on our tail.

Today I had a photoshoot early this morning. Once I finished it, I received a message from Alexis that his mother would be home late this evening and suggested meeting up in our penthouse, promising a mind-blowing evening.

When I walked into the penthouse, I bumped into Anastasia. She was about to leave.

"Honey, it is good you arrived early. Join me; I am going shopping." She suggested warmly.

"No, I can't. Sorry.... I don't feel good." I lied, ruffling my hair.

"What happened? Do you want me to call a doctor?" She asked, concerned, resting her hand on my arm.

"No, don't worry. Just my stomach is uneasy. Nothing to worry about." I gave her a reassuring smile while feeling guilty about lying to her, but I didn't have another choice. If I told her Alex was coming home early, she would stay with us.

"Fine, but if you feel bad, don't hesitate to call me." She said softly. I nodded, giving her a grateful smile.

As soon as she left, I went to the bathroom to take a quick shower. Then I put on a mini black wrap dress and went upstairs.

"Koukla mou!" Alex gave me a charming smile as soon as he walked in.

I beamed at him happily, running into his arms. He wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me into his chest, and smashed his lips against mine.

"Let's go to our bedroom. I don't want to waste any time." He suggested impatiently and dragged me with him towards our bedroom, holding my hand.

***
I was gripping Alex's hair tightly, moaning while my devil was between my legs under the sheet.

"Alex..." I groaned, closing my eyes shut, pressing my head back against the pillow and came, curling my toes.

My gorgeous Greek pulled out his head under the sheet with a self-satisfied grin on his face and smashed his lips against mine. I arched my back in sensation as I felt his throbbing length against my core.

"Please..." I mumbled between kisses and pressed him against me more by wrapping my legs around his waist.

The corner of his lips curled up, and he placed his member at my entrance. In a swift movement, he thrust into me, making me gasp.

I ran my hand through his hair while my magician was kissing, biting my neck and accelerating his pace in every passing minute.

"Charlotte?"

My eyes widened as I heard Anastasia's voice.

"Shit!" Alex exclaimed in panic as he pulled back slightly.

"Charlotte, are you here?" Anastasia asked, knocking on the door. "Are you fine?"

"Pull out." I told Alexis in a low tone, trying to pull away from him, but he held me under him tightly without letting me get up.

"Koukla mou, do you know how painful it will be for me if I stop now?!" He whispered, giving me a begging look.

"Then give pleasure to yourself." I commented while my heart was pounding nervously.

"I have dropped it since I was teenager and thought I wouldn't need it again till I met you. I had to give pleasure to myself when I shared the same bed with you without touching, kissing, making love to you. Now that I finally made you mine, I don't plan to go back to the beginning. And believe me it isn't very satisfying than having you in my bed." He commented firmly.

"You did?!" I mumbled in surprise.

"Don't even think of laughing at me." He warned me.

I pursed my lips together, stroking his cheek tenderly.

"Charlotte?" Anastasia knocked on the door, sounding worried, and opened the door. Her eyes widened in shock when she saw Alex and me in the bed. "Oh my... Sorry." She turned around, blushing. "I thought you were alone. You didn't feel well; so I came back early because I was worried about you. When you didn't answer, I thought you fainted. I am sorry. I am leaving now." She added apologetically and left quickly, closing the door behind her.

"Damn it!" I exclaimed, embarrassed and covered my face with my hands.

"Hey, calm down." Alexis commented softly, stroking my hair gently.

"How?! Your mother busted us a few minutes ago." I reminded firmly and pursed my lips together as my eyes welled up.

"Don't be embarrassed, koukla mou. You are my wife." He gave me a charming smile and placed a soft kiss on my forehead.

I sighed. "How will I  look her in the eyes?" I mumbled, ruffling my hair.

"Charlotte! Take a deep breath and calm down. Actually, now she is reassured that we are really in love." He commented, caressing my cheek tenderly.

I bit my lower lip and heaved a loud sigh, trying to calm down.

"Umm.. Koukla mou, I need to come because it  is giving me pain." Alex commented, pointing to his manhood, and gave me a sheepish look.

"Oh... Sorry."

He grinned and brushed his lips against mine and started thrusting into me.

I was biting my lower lip shyly while Anastasia was saying goodbye to Alex, hugging him. A day after busting Alex and me, she informed us that she was going back to Athens.

"Take care of each other and come to Athens at the first opportunity." She gave me a warm smile and hugged me. I hugged her back.

"Take care." I said softly, pulling back.

I breathed deeply, ruffling my hair as she left. I had felt shy beside her since she saw Alex and me in our bedroom.

"At least, our little escapade helped us to convince Mom." Alex commented amusingly, grinning as he wrapped his arm around my shoulder.

"It is easy for you to say it; I can't still look her in the eyes without blushing." I admitted, sighing.

"You are my wife, Charlotte."

"Yes, but it didn't mean we had to put on quite a show for your mother." I commented, embarrassed.

"If I knew this would help us, I would make sure she busted us a while ago." Alex commented devilishly. I gave him a dirty look and rolled my eyes, making him chuckle.

"So we managed to convince your mother. When will your grandpa give you your company?" I asked curiously.

"As soon as I will fulfill all his wishes." My husband replied and sighed.

"What? But we got married. Wasn't it his condition?" I asked, puzzled, giving him a questioning look.

"Not just it. His conditions were that I had to get married with a woman who he would approve of and have an heir in a year." He explained to me and placed a soft kiss on my hair.

"What?! But you didn't tell me anything about the baby when we were discussing our agreement." I frowned, pulling back, and ruffled my hair.

"Because I didn't want to freak you out." He smiled innocently.

I gave him a dirty look. "You lied to me."

"I didn't lie. I didn't just tell you everything." He commented sheepishly and wanted to wrap his arms around my waist.
