Polly discovered that house hunting with her billionaire husband was nothing like she might have expected.

He hired the preeminent estate agents in Athens who then provided virtual walk throughs on potential properties.

She’d pictured going to look at houses together, but so far, they had both watched the videos separately and then discussed them. Usually after tucking their daughter in for the night.

They were spending more time together however because her workaholic husband had come home early again this week, twice. And he had arranged to work from home once, without a single overnight at the Athens apartment.

Helena was blossoming under the extra attention from her beloved papa. Polly was blooming too, but fear of going back to the way things had been cast a shadow over her enjoyment of her husband’s increased presence.

Polly was leaning back against Alexandros’s chest as they looked at potential property together on his phone. It was one she’d gotten very excited about.

“If you are that keen on this house, you could go see it with the agent tomorrow,” he told her.

She felt her body tense. “I thought we were visiting the properties together.”

“I cannot do it tomorrow.”

“What happened to no more uncomfortable helicopter rides into Athens for me?”

“I thought you and Helena could come to the apartment for the rest of the week, perhaps longer.”

They would be right across the hall from Corrina and Petros. And Alexandros’s office would be an elevator ride away. Excitement coursed through Polly. “You’ve never invited us to the penthouse.”

He used one when he stayed over, while Corrina and Petros lived in the other full-time. One floor below were a set of four apartments used by the company for business related needs, but the penthouses were gorgeous from the pictures Corrina had sent Polly on her phone after moving in.

“I’ve had the penthouse childproofed and a plexiglass guard added to the balcony railing, which I’ve had raised another two feet. Not that you’ll allow Helena out there without supervision, but it’s an extra measure of security for her.” Tossing away his phone, he tugged her into his lap, so their gazes met. “And I never realized you needed an invitation to join me in Athens.”

“I didn’t?” she asked, stunned by the concept that he would have welcomed her presence and that of their daughter at any time.

“No. I realize now that I had made it seem like to you that I saw you as separate from my business life, but I don’t. Everything is for and about you and Helena and our unborn son now.”

“But…”

“If you want the truth, it hurt that you never came to stay, especially those times I had to spend more than a night in the city.” He frowned, swallowed, looked away and then back at her, like he was making himself man up. “I thought it was just too much trouble to you to come.”

“But I didn’t know you wanted me there.”

“When I first bought the villa, I had visions of us sharing our time between there and the apartment.
