The Billionaire's Blackmailed Heiress by Marie Kelly Read Free Book Online

silent, his eyes narrowing as he had looked Mina up and down with no attempt at concealing the contempt in them.
    “You are not even Greek!”
    He had bitten out in perfect English, Mina feeling her hackles rise at his disrespectful tone.
    “Clearly” she had thrown back, her eyes now angry daggers.
    “Now perhaps you can answer my question?” seeing as his face had grown redder with fury, as he had sneered at her.
    “Are you the imposter trying to pass yourself off as Alexander Mentis’ daughter” he had screamed at her, Mina holding her ground, seeing how uncomfortable the other two had suddenly become. Raising her chin, she had looked levelly at the stranger.
    “Yes…and who might you be trying to pass yourself off as, certainly not a gentleman?”
    She had seen the confusion on the man’s face at her words, as he had paused for a second, not sure how to respond, before ploughing on.
    “I am Alexander’s LEGITIMATE son…and I will see you in jail if you continue with this deception”.
    Moving closer she had not allowed his boorish tone or actions to frighten her, as she had bit back.
    “You may not like it Alexander, but he was my father also, so I suggest that you learn to live with it”.
    Mina did not like bullies, and very quickly she had realised that Alexander was little more than a blowhard one, and as with all when stood up to, he had backed away from her, instead turning his attentions to the other two people in the room reverting back to Greek as he had screamed at Theresa.
    About to step in, it was the whiplash voice behind her that had silenced everybody. Whipping around she could see Nikos stood, his tall frame filling the door, his grey eyes bright with fury. He had spoken sharply and directly to Alexander, who had clamped his mouth shut, his eyes flicking around uncomfortably. Again she was not able to understand what was being said, but his looks in her direction, had confirmed in her mind that he was talking about her.
    Flipping over to English, he had moved forward, his tone brooking no dissent as he had snapped at the younger man.
    “You will apologise to Miss Lane now Alexander”.
    She could see as Alexander Mentis had scowled, his body rigid, as he had glared both at her and Nikos.
    “I apologise for yelling Miss Lane” he had muttered, his tone holding no sincerity. He had then moved towards the door before looking back.
    “But I did mean what I said” quickly moving outside as Nikos had made towards him, his body bristling with anger.
    They had heard the sound of the car engine being gunned, as it had moved quickly out of the driveway, the sound of small chippings flying clear from the tires as it had sped away. With a small sigh, Nikos had turned to the other two, his voice softer as he had spoken, again in Greek, both looking at each other as they had thrown small smiles at Mina before moving away.
    Nikos had then turned to look down on the woman stood so silently, he had once more thought how lovely she looked, his voice apologetic.
    “I’m sorry Mina. I tried to get here as fast as I could when I heard Alexander had found out about you…but I guess he drives a bit faster” his mouth twitching as he had tried to alleviate the situation. Giving him a small return smile, trying not to show the upset she felt she had nodded.
    “Yes…I think so”.
    Sighing gently “I guess that there is no point in expecting a fluffy huggy family reunion then” her eyes twinkling with mischief, as he had laughed.
    “No…I’m guessing not”, his wonderful grin once more softening his handsome features, making her insides feel melty.
    “I informed the board today of your existence, and they have begun proceedings of adding you to the voting, once your rights as Alexander’s daughter are verified”.
    Looking over at the door, which was still lying open, she had spoken softly.
    “This is why I didn’t want to be identified Mr Dupris…I have a feeling that he will not be the only
