Grey eventually left the gym after some more exercises. He felt more cool and relaxed now.The first thing on his mind was to speak with Beatrice. He blamed himself for not asking for her number or where he could find her.Well, he drove right back to the graveyard. Hopefully that he would meet her again.There was no one around the graveyard. So, he walked back to the place where they sat previously. He saw Beatrice on the chair, sobbing silently. She must have been devastated or perhaps confused, especially because Grey accused her of murder.Grey walked closer, only stopping a few inches away. "Hi, Beatrice."Beatrice stopped at once and craned her neck towards Grey, a smile appeared on her face and she stood up. "Grey, you came back?" She seemed happy.Grey nodded once. "Can we leave here? I need to have a chat with you."Beatrice nodded quickly and wiped off the tears. " It's ok then."Grey led her to his car. He pulled out of the graveyard, towards nowhere in particular. He fina
Grey left Beatrice with Alfred in the living room and decided to walk through Alfred's garden. A lot of thoughts were curling in his mind in some sort of crazy confusion. But one thing was clear already.He picked up his phone and dialed Don's line. He picked up after the third ring."Hello, Boss," Don boomed."How are Lan and Naomi doing?""They are fine. The doctor said they would survive but they are asleep currently," he revealed.Grey let out a sigh. " That's good. Let me know whenever Lan wakes up. That aside, make sure he's always guarded. I don't want the men to leave his room," he ordered." Yes, boss. I will do just that."Grey nodded once. "Goodbye for now." "Wait," Don said suddenly before Grey would hang up. "There are some people here that would like to meet you."Grey raised a brow. " Who are they?"Don went silent for a moment. " It would be best if you meet them personally."" No problem. I will be there soon," he finished and hung up. He walked back to the main doo
Grey regarded the man for a moment. Though, he didn't ask the elders if they killed Audrey's men, yet, he thought they were dead. "Why are you here? What do you want?" "I'm Jimmy and I want you to hear me out, " he pleaded softly. Grey let out a sigh. " Alright, go on." Jimmy hesitated for a moment and suddenly went on one knee. "I've offended you, I know but I've come to ask for your forgiveness. Audrey took my son as well, there was nothing I could do but obey each of his orders." Grey observed him for a moment. " It's ok. You can leave your life. I will release your son to you." Jimmy hesitated again. " I need something else from you, Hercules." " What do you want then?" Grey was skeptical. Jimmy regarded him for a moment. " I want to work for you, Hercules. I promise to be trustworthy and would even serve you with my life," he pledged truthfully. " Please, Hercules," Lan added quickly, in a strained voice. Grey swallowed harder, as he gave it a quick thought. He looked dow
"What the fuck is happening here?" Grey yelled as he moved closer, and stood in front of Beatrice whose head was bowed in shame."Women like this shouldn't be allowed to shop while we are shopping," the lady with David sneered.David regarded Grey for a moment and suddenly laughed. "What the fuck! It's Grey! And_," he trailed off as he looked over at Beatrice again. " Is this woman your mother?"" Yes, do you have any problem with that?" Grey declared, not even thinking for a moment before replying.David laughed again, "I said it! I knew you displayed a fake membership card that day. There was no way you would get a Hercules membership card. You couldn't cater for yourself when you were in school. You had to beg almost every student for money. You were so poor and you still are. Look at how your mother is dressed so poorly?"" I seriously can't be shopping in here with her," the lady beside David said annoyingly."This boutique belongs to everyone. I don't know why some people have t
When Grey drove into the front yard, Beatrice was smiling. She was so happy and somehow, her lips were getting used to it.Grey wondered what Beatrice must have gone through all the years, especially with the loss of her son. Nothing could replace his place in her heart but he would try his best. He owed her for keeping his mother's recipe saved anyways."I should hand over the box to you," Beatrice started.Grey nodded briefly and assisted her with bags of clothes. "We will talk about the new company while at it."Beatrice smiled. "I will make us something.""Yes, change into something nice and make us something nice," Grey teased.Beatrice laughed. " Now you have a sense of humor. You were always so serious then," she commented and took a bag of clothes before she walked inside.Grey hesitated for a moment as the word sank in. He wondered if his mother knew that his father was a mafia Lord. He was so young, maybe that was why he didn't know about it.Instead, he had almost hated his
Grey got home earlier that day, as he didn't bother returning to work.After he left Beatrice's place, he placed a call to Gregory and asked him about a nice car for Beatrice and he promised to get it delivered to her that evening."It wasn't funny, but I laughed," Chloe laughed.Grey heard Chloe's voice as he stepped inside, only to realize that Chloe and Avery were inside the house already. And they were chatting."And he finally rose in," Chloe said dramatically when she saw Grey, there was a smirk on her face.Avery looked up, with surprising features. She must be shocked that Grey came home earlier."Hi," Grey whispered and walked inside.He knew as he walked in, that Chloe was saying nasty things about him but he didn't care. He was more than tired and he needed to sleep.His phone rang suddenly, the number unknown but Grey picked it up anyways."Hello boss, this is Jimmy," the voice revealed."Oh, yes. Do you have anything for me?"" Yes, Boss. I've gotten what you asked of me.
Grey suppressed a laugh. *Alright, thank you, Jane. I will do something about it." " Make it snappy, Boss. The likes of Grey shouldn't be allowed to ruin your reputation," she suggested. Grey smiled softly. " Alright." And he hung up. He hesitated for a moment and his smile widened. What would Jane do if she discovered that Grey was actually the Hercules she spoke to? Anyways, he knew what to do. And he couldn't wait to behold her face when she discovered it. Grey was ready to take everything to a next level. He would give everyone back what they had given him. And well, an act of revenge in cover was the best because no one would know what had hit them until it had happened. It was just exactly what had happened with Seth. Grey pulled up in front of the hospital. When he walked inside the room, he saw Belle speaking with Naomi and relief overwhelmed him. He was glad that he didn't lose Naomi as well. "Boss," Lan called softly, a smile playing on his face. Belle turned around
A soft knock sounded on the door suddenly. Grey turned to look at who it was. It was Richard and so, Grey signaled for him to enter the car.He turned toward Jimmy again. “What about the other thing I asked for?”Jimmy pulled out a piece of paper. “Here,” he stretched it out to him.Grey took it and placed it in the safe. “I will check it later. Work starts tomorrow,” he revealed.Jimmy nodded briefly. “I will be on my best behavior, “ he assured.Grey smiled. “I will see you later then. Did you add the numbers of these guys? They would need to come to the office with their credentials,” he explained.Jimmy nodded once. “I understand and I placed them together,” he assured.Grey smiled. “Tomorrow morning then,” he finished and gathered the files together. “Richard should come to the passenger seat,” he offered.Jimmy bowed slightly. “Goodbye boss,” he got down and walked away.Richard swallowed harder before he got down and walked to the passenger side. He knew what Grey was going to
