Maximo and the rest of the elders got to the entrance but they weren't allowed to enter. Charles had already arrived with some of his men as well.So, Grey's men and Maximo's men came together to fight Giovanni's men.Jimmy hadn't shown up and Grey was still waiting in the restroom. And the special was about to announce the King of the world."Where is Grey?" Dante required.Maximo didn't reply as he dialled Grey's number. Grey picked it up immediately. "Hi, Grey. Where are you?""I'm in the restroom. I'm waiting for Jimmy or Aphrodite to come with my clothes.""Damn! You have to be fast. I just received a piece of information that the announcement for the king of the world is happening now. You have to enter the hall.""Find me Aphrodite. I can't leave this place. Find her and get my clothes. That's the only way out," he informed and the line went off."Is everything alright?" Enzo asked.Maximo turned to them. "Grey is already inside but he needs to change so he can enter the hall."

It was as if Grey wasn't really interested in her and it hurt greatly to see that.But it didn't matter to her again. She just wanted the dance and she was going to get it.Avery took another step closer to him, moving too close for comfort.Such movement amused Grey because he didn't know that Avery knew he was Grey. But he knew what she wanted and thought he could at least give her that since Aphrodite wasn't available.So, he stretched out towards her and waited.Avery hesitated, as if just seeing the consequences of her action and wanting to make a rethink but it was too late. She took it.She felt an electric sort of thing as she took it and they started dancing.Though, she felt like he was a bit different, just like he was when she met him in Italy. He seemed to command authority. The aura of authority and fear that hovered around him was not what she was associated with. But she loved it."Hercules doesn't talk to the lady he's dancing with?" Avery teased.Hercules regarded he

It was actually James, one of the special members that was calling Grey. Grey heard but he couldn't bear to turn back. He knew that doing that would mean staying but he didn't even have the luxury of time to waste.The only thing that went through his mind was what had really happened to Aphrodite. How could she be found half-dead?What really happened?That wasn't even the most painful thing. Grey couldn't think of the fact that he was at the party, enjoying himself while Aphrodite was almost dead. The guilt that gave him almost ate him deep."Hercules!" Another voice called suddenly, a feminine yet familiar one. It jerked Grey out of his thoughts and he realized that she had been calling out to him.He stopped suddenly as the figure raced towards him."Her_cules," Avery moved to his front, taking in several fast breaths to steady her breathing. "Is there something you want?" He asked, in a deep voice that actually scared Avery. That was the second time he would be doing it."A con

"Sir," The manager cleared his throat meaningfully. "I'm so sorry. I will inform the receptionist about what to do. I'm really sorry for the inconvenience. Please, give her the phone." Grey stretched the phone out to the receptionist. The receptionist bowed severally before she took the phone. She knew that Hercules was angry by the tone of his voice. He was a mafia lord anyways and mafia lords were always callous and wicked. She couldn't afford to get on his bad side. "Alright boss," she hung up and looked at Grey. "Please, come with me. I will escort you there." Grey didn't answer her. Instead, he followed her into the elevator. The receptionist almost stopped breathing as the elevator moved slowly. She couldn't believe that she was riding with Hercules alone. If it wasn't because Hercules was in a bad mood, she would have asked for his autograph and framed it. She would make it her next big achievement but maybe a time like that would come again. They both stepped out of the

“Boss!” a man yelled from afar and several men rushed towards Alex. “We have to leave now boss. We really have to. The police are coming here.”Alex stared at Avery for a moment and aimed to shoot again. But this time, Avery was really fully all over him. There was no way Alex would be able to kill Grey. But that was exactly what he wanted. He didn't expect Avery to even come in. And he wasn't even sure who he shot.“Boss, your father wants us to bring you over,” one of the men said urgently as they started to drag him away.Alex shook his head briefly and instead, aimed the gun at Grey’s leg. He pulled the trigger and a groan erupted before he was eventually pulled away.Actually, the men didn't have the time to cross-check who was with Avery. Maybe they would have allowed Alex to kill one of their boss’ nemesis before they pull him away.For a few minutes, after Alex had left, Grey couldn't move. For once in his life, he felt like an idiot. He walked into Alex's trap without a back
