Avery stared at the bag of money for a moment, with brows drawn together.

A soft knock sounded on the door and Avery rushed forward. She opened the door and let Chloe inside.

"Thanks for coming," she made sure that the door was locked so that no one would be able to enter.

Chloe regarded her for a moment. "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Avery sighed and moved to sit. "I told you about Thomas? Thomas wanted to date me but I disagreed. Then, he pulled back. He used to be one of our wealthy investors," she explained.

Chloe gathered her brows. " And why did you reject him? I mean, isn't he better than Grey? At least, he's rich. Grey has nothing. I wouldn't leave someone like Thomas for Grey," she declared.

Avery thought for a moment. " That's because you don't know who Thomas really is. He's the most selfish man I have ever known. I can't fall for someone like him. There's absolutely no way things would work well for us both," she revealed.

Chloe hissed. " Grey has a bad attitude bu

    "Should I let them do their work? Or am I supposed to call them?" Grey inquired as they settled down. He brought Aphrodite to a nearby restaurant.They were in a VIP suite, so they had the chance to discuss anything without getting spied on.Aphrodite took from the Cajun Shrimp and Chicken pasta in front of her and chewed silently. "I think we should let them do their work. Even if you would be calling, then I think the elders should be aware. They should decide if you should go for it or not, "she advised.Grey regarded her for a moment. " Isn't this my inheritance? Why do I have to involve the elders?"Aphrodite looked up. " Because it doesn't only have to do with the shoe companies. There are other mafia bosses involved in it. You do know that Italy is the home of the mafia. And I guess your father hailed from there, " she hinted." How many shareholders?"" I think three. However, Hercules has spread beyond. So, if you are really in partnership with these people, you would easily

    Grey left the restaurant early as Beatrice called him that she was on her way to SU world.Aphrodite seemed tired anyways so she used the opportunity to retire to bed earlier.The telephone rang suddenly and Grey picked it up. "Hello, boss. There's someone here to see you," Tina announced. "She said she's Miss Beatrice," she added quickly."Alright, tell her to come in," Grey responded and the phone went off.The door opened a few minutes later and Beatrice walked inside. "Grey," she called happily.Grey stood and met her halfway. "I hope you aren't so exhausted?"Beatrice smiled. "A little but I need to give you feedback before I go home to rest."Grey regarded her for a moment and noted the happy expression. "You looked happy. Is everything alright?"Beatrice nodded briefly. " I got all the wildflowers. Fortunately for me, I also got the ingredients. Though, not all. We have to book some but since I don't have any money on me, I was unable to do it," she revealed.Grey hit his fore

    Nora sent the address of where they were supposed to meet that night.Actually, Grey felt somehow about it. He couldn't place it but it felt strange that Nora would call him out.Well, if she was really sober and wanted to beg Grey to give her a job, then she would have done it during the day.For the fact that Nora specifically selected a venue and the time, Grey knew that she was trying to get back at Grey.She must have thought of a way to get back to Grey. Grey didn't know how or how far she had gone but he was sure that something was off somewhere."Is something wrong?" Linda's question jotted him out of his thoughts.He looked at her and shook his head slowly. "Everything is fine. I will leave now and check up on you guys later," he informed her.Just as he turned to walk deeper into the company, Beatrice walked out with Emily."I will need help with the ingredients," She announced."Oh, I will call some of these men. They will help out, that is if you are not in a hurry," Linda

    Emma waited anxiously for the pictures to load before she hurried back to the dining room. She had the hard copy as well. She told Nora to send both the soft and hard copies to her.Benjamin looked up at her. "Emma, aren't you eating?"Emma snorted and sat eventually. "I had to retrieve something urgently. You won't believe what it's all about. "" What are you on about this time, Emma? "Lucy inquired."Before I proceed, I would like to ask you a question. Can I proceed?"Lucy regarded her for a moment. " Yes, sure you can go on."Grey looked up at this point. He knew what she was going to talk about anyways and he was patiently waiting for it."What would you do if your daughter's husband cheats on your daughter? I mean generally, perhaps from relatives and others. Would you agree for them to break up?" She sounded so excited." Sounds like she's talking about Grey!" Smith joked.Avery sent him a dirty glare. " Don't start."Smith laughed and continued to eat."You should tell us wha

    All gazes automatically turned towards Emma, except for Grey who continued to eat."Emma?" Benjamin called softly, unable to believe what he had heard."Mom, did you sincerely tell Nora to seduce Grey?" Avery was just too shocked. She knew that her mother was desperate but she didn't at all believe she would go to such length.Emma swallowed harder and seeing Lucy's expression, she got up and left in a hurry. She didn't even know how she was supposed to explain.Lucy looked over to Grey. "So, you've never cheated?""No," Grey admitted with a smile. Lucy shook his head. Somehow, he was starting to see Grey in another light. Well, after the truth he discovered at the ring store, he couldn't help but admire him a little.Avery was caught between her mother's nonchalant attitude and her grandfather's weird behavior. However, she felt relieved that Grey didn't cheat on her. Lucy was acting so kind to Grey which was very strange. Even Smith noticed but he concluded at the fact that Lucy m

    "Sir, I sincerely don't know what you are talking about. I'm certain I wasn't who you were talking about," her lips quivered as she explained." I'm sure I'm dead serious," he finished up and walked away.Violet was lost. She didn't even know if she was supposed to believe him. But she couldn't stop the fact that he just related to Hercules.What if she really got sacked?Grey walked towards the elevator, his gaze searching around for the other guy that tricked him the other day. Grey was going to sack the two of them.But he didn't see him. So, he entered the elevator and went to the ninth floor.He knocked slightly on Jane's door.There was a long moment of silence and shuffling. "Yes, come in," the voice offered.Grey opened the door and walked in. "Morning Jane."Jane looked up, somehow shocked for a few seconds but she soon got over it."What are you doing here?" A known expression spread across her face suddenly. "oh, are you here to beg for your job? You must have been fired an

    Jane blinked once, then twice, unable to believe what Maria had said. "What did you just say?" Jane inquired."You heard me, Jane. I just said I have been promoted as the secretary," Maria repeated." Yes and you have been demoted to take Maria's position at SU world," Grey completed for Maria." What!" Jane gurgled. "No, you are lying! This can't be! It's very impossible!" She yelled and took her phone, perhaps to call someone.The door opened suddenly and the security walked in."Take them out! Now!" Jane yelled, uncontrollably. Her heart was skipping every beat. She didn't want to accept it. It was just impossible anyways. She spoke with Hercules that morning and he didn't even hint at her. In fact, they spoke smoothly.It could be a prank. Jane was sure that the information was incorrect.Maria huffed and dipped into her purse for her identity card. She got it delivered to her that morning. She didn't know what was happening at first when she saw the message that she had been pro

    "B_but boss," Jane stammered, unsure of what she was going to say. "Why?" She said eventually."Jane, I told you the last time to be careful with Grey. Grey was sent into SU world by me. And I discovered that the allegation you levied against him was fabricated. For someone that could make up such lies,I wonder what you have done or would still do at the detriment of my company."" No boss, please," Jane stuttered." No?" He raised a brow and waited. He smirked. “Are you saying I'm lying?”"I mean, I'm really sorry. I was just concerned. I didn't mean anything. I only wanted you to be sure of who you trust.”" Yes, I took that into consideration and decided to remove the untrustworthy people around me, like you, Jane," he revealed." What? Me?" Jane stuttered. " I have always been faithful to Protos Pubblicita ever since I started to work here." She expressed in a sad filled voice." I'm watching you, Jane. I've always been watching you and you have been acting against me," he reveale

    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
