Caramel stood up unconsciously. She was shocked. "Are you for real? I mean does that even make any sense? Grey was buried. I still visited his tomb before we left Jacksonville.""Yes, that's why this was so surprising as well. But the news is a fact. I've just sent word to someone from Jacksonville and they confirmed it. Grey is alive."Caramel felt close to tears. "Seriously? And he's back in Jacksonville?""Yes, he is. I saw him on the news. I'm so happy to see this. It's a relief that he's fine.""Yes," Caramel stifled a sob. "I'm so glad about it.""Alright, I will talk to you later, Caramel. Or maybe we will talk better when I get to your place later in the night," Beatrice explained."Alright Mom," Caramel finished and hung up. She collapsed on the floor and tears streamed down her face. She didn't even know what and how she was supposed to feel.But she felt relieved at least that Grey wasn't dead. The sadness in her heart slowly ebbed away.She sobbed for some minutes on the f

Charles couldn't believe what he was hearing. He was very shocked."Why would you do that?""Because_," Aurora's voice trailed off as she regarded Charles' expression for a moment. "What? I thought you would like it. Don't you?"Charles' face fell. "I don't like this at all. I mean do you even know how dangerous working with Hercules is? It's very dangerous."He couldn't forget about what was currently happening to Avery or what might have happened to Aphrodite if he hadn't found her in time."It's very dangerous. I mean anything could happen at any time. The Mafia world isn't a place for ladies, talkless of people who are even unable to protect themselves," Charles explained.Aurora sighed. "But I will be with you. You will protect me from harm. Besides, all I would be doing would be running errands. I won't face these dangerous men."Charles shook his head briefly. "I won't allow it, Aurora. It's too dangerous for you."Aurora pouted cutely. "Please_," she beseeched softly.Charles

In less than four hours, the elders were in Grey's estate except for Aphrodite.Aurora refused to leave just yet, so Charles had to put her away in one of Grey's rooms."So, have you thought of a perfect way to bring Giovanni down?" Gregory asked.Grey sat well. "Not yet, but I need your help to teach Alex a lesson. I know I said I didn't want Alex to die before Giovanni but that doesn't mean I won't deal with him for what he has done to me.""This meeting is about Alex?" Jayden inquired.Charles nodded once. "it is. Apparently, he's still upset about what had happened so far and still wants to get back at him after you had stopped him."Gregory nodded once. "So, what is this whole thing about? What is the plan?""I need to get Alex out of prison. I need to be the one to teach him a lesson.""How do we do that? Giovanni controls almost 80% of the police. There's no way we can pass them even though we have some spies amidst them," Gregory explained."Well, fortunately for us, I have go

Grey reasoned it for a moment and stood. "There's only a way to find out. You guys can go in now. I will get back to you later," he assured.Cynthia and Mercy bowed slightly and walked inside.Grey glanced down at his wristwatch. He needed to leave immediately so that he could catch up with Aphrodite.Just as he stepped out, he noticed a figure leaning on his car. He moved closer nonetheless, only to realise it was Aurora."Aurora," he called softly but no answer came. "Aurora," he called again and she jerked up. Grey regarded her for a moment. "What are you thinking of? Are you alright?"Aurora released a sigh and managed a smile. "I'm fine. I just had a lot to think of. And I want to discuss something very important with you."Grey watched her for a moment. "What happened to you?" Aurora released another sigh. "I don't know how this is going to be but I still think I need to speak to you. You and Charles are close like brothers. So, I just feel it wouldn't matter."Grey moved to st

Grey was taken aback. "What do you mean by no way?" The security guard looked at Grey again and did a mental check. "This car can never be yours. There's no way it's yours."The statement upset Grey. "How can you say such a thing? Why would you even say something like that? How can you say my car isn't mine?""Because it cant be. This is Bugatti La Voiture Noire. It is worth 13.4 million dollars. There's no way you can afford such a car unless you want to steal it."Aphrodite was shocked. "What?""This car is mine. I gave the key to the security guard I met here when I came. How can I be lying about that?"The security guard had a wide smile on his face. He didn't believe Grey could be the real owner of the car. Though Grey was dressed attractively, the guard just thought he wasn't really dressed for the worth of the car. "You had better leave at this moment before I call the police," he warned.Grey scoffed. "I need to see the manager. I really need to because there's no way I will
