Grey stared for a moment, shocked. Lan did tell him that his wife and daughter were the ones kidnapped by Audrey.So, somehow, if they weren't in Audrey's house. Then, they would be somewhere else. Grey just didn't have a slight hint of where she could be.Perhaps, she had been killed. Well, he couldn't be sure but he silently hoped that she was alive. Well, Grey promised to keep Lan's family saved. All, and not just one."Though, I wonder what Audrey was doing with these kids," Gregory's voice brought Grey out of his thoughts.Grey looked at him. "Thanks, Gregory, I really appreciate this. I will fix them where to stay, they wouldn't be a problem to you," he assured.Gregory nodded. " I will be in the house if you need my help," he took a short bow and walked away.Grey looked at the children for a moment until his gaze rested on a girl that wasn't with other girls. She had her head on her knees, and her legs pulled together.Grey didn't know what she was doing but there was a high p
Nora couldn't stop thinking. She lost the appetite to eat, especially seeing that she was hopeless. She cried several times while blaming herself for abandoning Grey. She slept late the night before and found it even difficult to do anything that morning.Who would have thought that Seth would leave her? She had always thought he was going to propose to her. Well, he showered her with a lot of gifts and did everything to please her.But she was just too blind. She could have stayed with Grey. She knew that Grey would never leave her. It was something she was very sure of. Grey wasn't like other men. In fact, there were some things that she hated about Seth but had to keep up with him because he had the money.But Grey was perfect, except for the fact that he was poor. Somehow, that personality was changing.A loud bang on the door jotted her out of her mind. She sighed and got up forcefully. It felt like she had a heavy weight on her head.She opened the door and gave Tracy a cold gla
Grey stared into space, as lots of thoughts collided in his mind in some sort of crazy confusion. He was thinking of a lot of things.At first, he had to think about Naomi and the fact that she could even be part of Pablo's escort. Though, she tried to see the connection between the two.Why would Audrey hold Belle hostage but release Naomi for Pablo?Something wasn't right somewhere and he was going to find out that night.A loud knock pulled him out of his thoughts and he looked up. "Yes, come in."The door opened and Maria walked inside. "Boss, you asked of me."Grey nodded once. "I need your help. I just brought a company but I have no idea what to do with it. So, for now, I want to have it closed pending the time I would find a nice business to start," he explained.Maria's face was enveloped in a big smile. " Really? I will gladly help sir. It's no problem for me."Grey reciprocated her smile. " Thanks. You can leave whenever you are free to do so. I will give you a tip for it."
Grey stayed late at work intentionally. That aside, he couldn't stop thinking about what he was supposed to use kk corporation for.That aside, he dialed Lan's number several times but he didn't pick up. He didn't want to send a text, so he let it off.Though, he decided to try later that evening.Grey was ushered into the room with some food and drinks while he awaited the escort.Grey passed away the time with the champagne. It wasn't that he was going to spend much time there anyways. He wouldn't even take up to an hour. He only needed to find Naomi's whereabouts.It didn't take up to some minutes before the door opened and a lady walked inside, dressed in exposing clothes. She hesitated before the door and gave Grey a seducing smile before she walked inside and closed the door behind her.She moved to Grey. "You are handsome," she complimented as she drooled over him for a moment.Grey placed the cup of wine on the table and looked at the lady. "I'm not here for this. I'm here fo
Grey got down from the car with a sigh. He had decided to push the thoughts to the back of his mind. The security was complaining when Grey got down from the car but he decided to turn a deaf ear to his complaint, and instead walked into the house He collapsed on the chair, tired. Then, he remembered that he didn't have dinner and he was starving already.A maid walked out suddenly with a tray of whatever. She moved to the dining, placed the tray on the table, and turned to Grey."I made spaghetti Bolognese for you," she announced.Grey looked up, shocked for a moment. It was the first time that the maid would be making his food. Not when Smith was around. Smith had warned him severally on that and Grey wasn't ready for confrontation."You did what?" He asked, shocked. Perhaps, he heard it wrong."I made spaghetti Bolognese for you," she repeated.Grey's mouth dropped open in shock. It felt like he had entered the wrong house. Or perhaps Smith set a trap for him. He must be very car
Don ushered Grey inside and they both stared down at the phone on the table.Different thoughts were colliding in Grey's mind."You told me Lan sent you a text yesterday, right?" Don started.Grey nodded briefly. " He did and he wants us to meet. He sent the location as well."" Well," Don shrugged slightly. " This code might mean nothing. As far as we know, the message came from an unknown source. Why did you think it's from Lan?"Grey regarded Don for a moment. He was right anyways but he couldn't stop thinking something was wrong somewhere."Who sent the code then?" Grey questioned.Don shrugged again. " It could be anyone. It could be a random message."" That would come in at such a time? The timing was perfect. It looked like someone was trying to make us see something, I just don't know what. I mean it wouldn't be a coincidence." he complained.Don let out a sigh. " What should we do now?*Grey relaxed in his chair. " Give me some moments, I need to think it through. Then, we w
Lucy stepped inside his room to get ready for work. He wasn't the CEO now but he still felt the need to go to work and sometimes supervise.His eyes went to the stainless steel wristwatch that he placed carelessly by the lampstand. He disregarded it because it was an imitation.When he got home on his birthday, he saw the watch on the table and took it inside. Grey must have intentionally dropped it so he could take it.Well, Lucy wanted to be accommodating for once and decided to accept the gift even though it wasn't worth it.Well, he never expected anything from him seeing that he was just striving in the business world.Just as Lucy turned to leave, he hesitated and decided to take the watch over to his friend's store. His friend was a large wholesaler and retailer in all forms of wristwatches.Since Grey argued that the watch was real. He was going to prove it to him. And if it turned out to be an imitation, Grey would be punished for lying.So, Lucy took the wristwatch and walke
Grey couldn't stop fidgeting. Gregory hadn't gotten back to him and he had started panicking.His phone rang suddenly and he reached for it. It was Don."Hello, any news?" He probed."No, Boss but we are ready to leave. Where should we meet? Should we come over to your place or will you come here?" Don bombarded." I will meet you wherever you are, just send me the address," he hurried out of the office. Tina rushed to him. " Boss, you have an appointment soon," she reminded him.Grey waved it off. " Cancel it!" He placed a call to Gregory immediately as he entered the elevator.Gregory didn't pick up again. He decided to forget about him for that moment and instead rushed out of the company.His phone beeped and the address popped up on the phone.He drove the car out of the company at full speed. He drove towards the address that Don had sent and he soon arrived at his destination.He hurried out and saw Don and Richard in front of the car, already waiting for him. They were in a s
Avery woke up with a scream. Her head was still banging but she wasn't in the airport anymore.She held onto her temple for a moment.The door opened suddenly and Emily walked inside.“Avery!” She called, with worries written all over her face. “What happened? Are you alright?”Her eyes were shut tightly. “Headache,” she whispered.Emily rushed out of the room suddenly. She rushed inside almost immediately but was accompanied by some doctors.Avery felt a stab of the syringe and suddenly, the pain started to ebb away.“Avery! Are you alright?”Avery opened her eyes and looked at her mother. “Mom, where is Grey?”Emily hesitated briefly. “What about the headache?” She asked instead.Avery looked at the doctor, ignoring her mother's question. “Grey was brought in here, right? The VP of Protos Pubblicita. Where is he? How is he?”One of the doctors regarded her for a moment, then looked at Emily. “Are they_”“He's my husband!” Avery said quickly. “If he's here, I demand to know how he's
“Grey!” Avery yelled again, in despair and pain.The phone dropped from her hand but she barely noticed.She couldn't believe what she had seen. She was actually thinking of surprising Grey by coming to the airport.But since Grey didn't want to see her, she was going to leave. Just seeing him from afar was enough for her.Avery raced closer. Her heart was pounding madly in her chest. “Grey!” She yelled again and felt the tears slide down her cheeks.Then she saw some images flash across her eyes. She saw herself standing beside a car with Grey.A serious headache hit in and he held onto her head a bit to stop the pain.But it worsened.Avery couldn't move as several images flashed across her eyes. The pain in her head got worse.She yelled, much in sadness than in pain. Grey was slipping off her hands and instead of helping, she could not.But it felt like she was starting to remember everything. She was starting to remember everything about Grey.“You ruined my life!” Avery saw her
Avery didn't believe it, couldn't have imagined it. Grey was a nice person. How could he have treated him badly?She felt a purge of sadness. She closed her eyes for a moment and shed unseen tears.“Sean, I need to meet you alone,” she muttered and walked away.Emily and Benjamin stared at her for a moment, confused.Emily turned to look at Sean. “And what are you doing here?” She yelled at him, anger vivid on her face.Sean looked down in guilt. “I'm so sorry. I really am. That's why I'm here. Please,” he beseeched softly and looked up at her again. “That's why I'm here. I really need everyone's forgiveness. I really hope you can forgive me. I've learned my lesson,” he rushed out with a solemn expression.“You_” Emily started but Benjamin cut in quickly.“It's ok,” Ben muttered. “You should go and see Avery. When you guys are done talking, you should see me before you leave.”Sean bowed slightly, with a slight smile on his face. He hurried towards the direction that Avery had gone.He
Avery couldn't stop thinking about all Grey had told her. She still found it hard to believe. How was she married and they weren't intimate?Does it mean she forced him to marry her? But then she wondered why she would do such a thing.She took her phone and placed a call to Sean.He picked it up immediately. “Hi, sister.”“I'm on the way home. So, come over. I won’t wait too much for you,” she finished and hung up immediately.The car pulled into the garage and Avery got down before the engine of the car would even stop.She walked inside the living room.“Ben, have you_” Emily started but stopped suddenly when she saw Avery. Her eyes widened with shock. “Avery!” Joy exploded in her eyes.Avery managed a smile and met her mother midway. They hugged.“Where have you been all these while? Why did you decide to stay away from us all this while?” She sobbed quietly.“I'm sorry,” Avery responded and pulled back to look at her mother fully. “I just need to get myself back. Besides, there a
Avery stood in front of the mirror, with two dresses. She was indecisive about the one to wear. She just freshened up and the only thing she could think of was to go back to the hospital because of Grey.She just wanted to be with him. She didn't want to think of anything else.She eventually decided on the black one, deciding it was a bad idea to be overly dressed when she was in fact going to the hospital.She dabbed some perfumes on herself and eventually walked out of the house. She got inside the car and drove right to a restaurant nearby.She thought of getting Hercules some cakes. Her phone rang suddenly as she walked back to the car. She hesitated briefly, as she took a while to find her. The phone had stopped ringing when she finally found it.She was about to check the caller ID when the phone started ringing again. It was an unknown caller.She hesitated again and contemplated on whether to pick it up or not.She eventually decided to.“Hello?”“Hello, sis!” A familiar de
Charles looked at Grey, still shocked. “Don't tell me you will team up with this good-for-nothing guy? You know he's not to be trusted!”Grey nodded once and looked at him. “I know but you do trust me, right? Just trust me.”Charles regarded him for a moment and slowly released a sigh. “Alright then.”Grey looked at Dylan. “But this teamwork will not work if we don't have the evidence we can pin Giovanni down with,” he explained.“Well, Giovanni is supposed to die, and not be jailed for killing your father.”“Well, I won't need the evidence after Giovanni dies. So, this deal will be useless for me. Besides, Giovanni will not live after killing my father. Don't think I plan on sparing his life.”Dylan laughed. “I like that! I sincerely do!” He muttered, dipped his hand into his pocket, and pulled out a phone. “It's here, everything on the watch,” he revealed, placed it on the bed beside Grey, and smiled slightly. “I will be in Jacksonville soon. We will talk then,” he finished, got up,
“Well, let him come,” Grey decided and looked at Avery. “I'm done with the food. Thank you, I really appreciate it,” he said with a smile.Avery nodded once and packed the lunch boxes. “I will leave then so that you and Dylan can speak.”Grey nodded. “Alright. Take care of yourself.”Avery smiled slightly and walked out eventually.Charles turned to Grey. “I will kill him today if he tries to act sneaky!” He swore.Grey smiled slightly. “Just calm down and let's hear him first.”Charles groaned inwardly and pulled a chair for himself to sit. “I'm seriously going to kill him!” He promised.Grey laughed and his phone made a beep. It was a message from Avery. He read through and looked at Charles.“Dylan is here,” he announced.Charles nodded several times as if it was taking every ounce of his strength to keep calm.A soft knock sounded on the door. The door opened almost immediately and Dylan pushed his head inside, a wide smile on his face.“Hi everyone!” He said with sarcasm.“You be
“Are you sure?” Grey nodded once, with a soft smile. “Yes, I am. I will handle him. So, you just stay calm,” he responded and dialed Charles's number.Avery nodded once. “I will call him back then.”Grey nodded again. “But tell him I would like to choose the venue. If he's not agreeing with that, then I won't see him,” he muttered and looked at the phone screen only to discover Charles had picked it up.“Hi Charles,” he said into the receiver and relaxed back on the bed.“Grey, where have you been?”“Well,” he smiled softly. He would have never thought he was going to get so sick. He hadn't gotten so sick in a long time that it felt like he was immortal, immune.“I got sick Charles. In fact, I'm currently at the hospital.”“Damn! Send me the address. I will be there now,” he assured and the line went off.Grey looked at Avery and caught her staring. He smiled. “What did the doctor say is wrong with me?”“Well, I will tell you that while you eat. You haven't eaten since morning.”Grey
Consciousness returned to Grey slowly and his gaze searched around.Where was he?A slight headache hit in. He groaned and reached for his head.“Are you alright?” A soft voice asked suddenly.He looked up at a pair of brown eyes. Wait, a nurse?“Yes, just a slight headache,” he responded.The nurse smiled down at him. “You will be fine with this,” she assured and raised a syringe. She regarded him for another moment before she injected him.Grey didn't flinch. It was as if nothing penetrated him. Well, a lot had penetrated him before. What more could a syringe do?“Wow, I'm impressed,” the nurse smiled.Grey didn't really remember anything. In fact, the headache was making it difficult for him. But then, the pain ebbed away slowly as the nurse had said.“Where am I?” He said and groaned inwardly. “I know this is a hospital. I'm sorry for that stupid question.”The nurse laughed.He did as well. “I mean how did I get here?”“Well, your girlfriend brought us here. She stepped out a few
