I can think of all the possibilities of letting you go,
but somewhere, deep in my heart, I still believe that we are meant to be...

When I look at the stars every night, silently praying, I think of us

The endless ocean of dreams and hopes beckoning me, the fading twilight guiding my wayward thoughts

Your beautiful face, which appears in my memory.
Your soulful laughter which made me fall for you.

I have waited so long for a love which would leave me and you breathless

Artherio's pov-

Demetri nudged me. I woke up feeling groggy. I stretched my body and noticed that both of my friends were already waiting for me outside the plane.

I got down and adjusted my aviator. It was too sunny here in London. A car stood close by and the chauffeur was standing, holding the door open for us. All of us took long strides and got into the car. The plush seats were smooth and comfortable. After the driver started the car, he introduced himself. He told us that Mr. Wilkins had sent him to pick us up and take us to the Wilkins mansion.

At first, I didn't notice, but then I saw that we had already left the busy city center and were driving on a road on the outskirts of the city. We didn't need to travel more than an hour, before we reached a mansion which looked like a castle, standing proudly amongst the serene greenery.

The car stopped near the entrance of the house and the maids came to take the luggage.

Despite all of this my mind was still envisioning a certain golden-haired beauty, whom I longed to kiss and hold in my arms. I wonder how her silky tresses would feel if I ran my hand through her hair. I dismissed these thoughts and smiled to myself. I am so crazy in love with her.

When we entered the room, a grand staircase greeted us. One of the maids told us to follow her and she led us to another room along the corridor. She knocked twice on the door after which a deep voice told us that we could come in. The maid left us.

We entered the room. It looked like an office. A man was sitting in an armchair reading some kind of an important paper. He had a golden rimmed reading glasses perched upon his perfect nose. He looked up at us and smiled.

He reminded me of one of my professors in the university. The way his eyes examined us from head to toe.

"You must be Arterio". He said still smiling at us.

" Yes, Mr. Wilkins. I am".I replied.

"My little princess Lisa is not here".

That got my breathing even faster if that is possible and a foreign feeling took over me. It felt like a sharp blow.

" She has gone to Somerset, I told her not to go but being the girl she is, she had to visit that place".

"Oh. That's a great relief. For a moment I thought that she ran away from the wedding".

" Melissa can be many things, but my daughter isn't a coward. I have called you here to warn you that if you hurt her in any way then I will remove my forty percent investment in your company. I know that Greece is suffering badly due to inflation, but my daughter comes first".

"Yes, sir. You don't need to worry, I will treat like my queen and amend my mistake".

" That's good to hear dear boy. The reason behind this marriage is not purely business purpose. Melissa's grandmother had told us in her last breath, that what you two shared is timeless love, and nobody can change that or break you two apart. I believe, that what my mother said is true and I wish you all the best".

"Thank you, sir. You have solved half of my problems. Now I need to apologize to Melissa".

" I have arranged a bus for your travel. All the youngsters are going in that vehicle tomorrow morning, around ten. So you better freshen up, eat and sleep".

Mr. Wilkins got busy again, reading the paper. We left the room and followed another maid, upstairs to our room. I can't wait to see her again.
