"Miss Avery has woken up," the doctor announced. Grey went mute for a moment. "Seriously?""Yes, she is. I had to call you immediately, though she's taking a nap currently but she's successfully out of the coma," the doctor explained.Grey released a sigh of relief. "Thank you so much, Doctor. I will see you when I come around," he assured."Alright, Mr. Grey. Talk to you later," he muttered and the line went off.Grey dropped the car and a wide smile spread across his face. He was so happy about the news. He didn't expect Avery to leave the coma so soon. He was overjoyed about it."Is everything alright?"Grey nodded once. "Yes, everything is fine. Let's toast to the great future ahead."They all burst out laughing..Grey got to the hospital so early the next day because he wanted to see Avery and be assured that everything was alright.And he also wanted to see the doctor and make sure everything was alright with her. So, he was still scared somehow because of the impairment that
Grey felt dejected when he got home. Though, the doctor said the eyes could still be repaired but there was no certainty about it.And Grey was pained by it. He would do literally anything for Avery to regain her eyesight but he didn't forget to remind himself that it might all be a failure.Maybe he didn't have to be so concerned. Maybe he merely has to be optimistic about it.He wasn't even able to talk with Avery. Though, he wasn't really planning to. He didn't know what talking to him would do to her. But he wanted to at least know how she was doing at that moment.Well, she would be more devastated, and scared than he was. But_Grey was just being indecisive about it.Aphrodite was coming home the next morning and he had already changed his bandage before coming home with the box that the ex-King of the world gave him.There were a lot of documents there that he had to go through.He picked one of the papers and went through it. There was a list of women he could select as his se
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
Aphrodite woke up that morning, feeling extra better. Actually, she wanted to leave Grey's house in the meantime because of a lot of things. It looked as though Grey was trying not to be concerned with Avery even though he was. And Avery saw nothing bad in it.And the fact that Avery was in a critical condition made her feel bad. She needed Grey by her side.She got dressed in black long trousers and a white chiffon top. She added a little powder to her face, and a little red lipstick before she walked out of the room.Grey was in the kitchen as if she had already discussed the time she was leaving with him.Though she said she was leaving the next morning, she never mentioned the time."Cooking?" Aphrodite muttered from behind, a wide smile on her face.Grey laughed. "I decided to make something for you to eat. I figured out you came out later on for your cakes. Did you enjoy it?"Aphrodite pursed her lips together as if thinking about the question. Her face was held in a straight 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
Grey's phone rang suddenly. It was Douglas. He turned away from the room and picked up the call. "Hello, Douglas." "Hello, Hercules. There's someone that wants to speak with you. The director of the FBI," he revealed. Grey hesitated for a moment. "Alright, if he's near, place him on the phone." "He's here. I will give him the phone then," he said and then, there was a few minutes of silence. "Hello Hercules," a different voice boomed. "It's Jason." "Good day, Jason. Is there anything I can do for you?" "Actually, no. I'm the one at your beck and call. You can contact me if you need my assistance and I will come instantly without questions. Besides, I'm the head of the police in Jacksonville." Grey thought for a moment and actually burst into a cool smile. This was what the special members meant by the power that he was going to have as the king of the world. They get to know people from high positions. And knowing them would give them access to various places. It was definitel
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
Giovanni looked up for a moment, a dark frown on his face. "Speak," he ordered."We've literally searched everywhere in the city but we can't find Richard," the man revealed, with a little fear.Giovanni grunted. He didn't even know how he was supposed to feel. In fact, he couldn't even inform his elders about it because what Richard was doing was top secret.But at the stage that he currently was, knowing fully well that it was Grey that took Richard, Giovanni was ready to do all it takes to get him back.And that was the main reason why he brought forth the secretary's plan. The Secretary would be ae to reach a part in Grey's life and so, help Richard escape.Though, he had no idea what had happened to Richard or what Grey had discovered so far.Fuck! If Grey used the weapon against him, it won't be good at all.Even though Richard was yet to even discover the perfect steps for the recipe, he was still worried. Grey was a very intelligent guy. It won't be difficult for him.Though,
