Jimmy nodded briefly. "Yes, she is."

Grey smiled softly. Though, he was seeing Hattie's backside and didn't know what she looked like. But at least, he didn't come to the auction house in vain.

Grey raised his tag. "6.7 million dollars," he announced suddenly.

Everyone craned their neck backward to look at Grey. It was like they didn't expect anyone to say anything. It looked like people were intentionally keeping shut.

Though, Hattie didn't turn back, including a guy in a black shirt that sat beside her.

"6.7million dollars for Mr. fennel."

"7 million dollars!" Hattie announced quickly.

Grey smiled again. Actually, it reminded him of the first day he met Aphrodite. They had to bid and he won her. Though, this time was going to be very difficult.

"7 million dollars for Miss Hattie," The auctioneer revealed.

"7.1 million dollars," Grey raised immediately.

Some guys got up from somewhere and walked out of the room. Somehow, the room was suddenly getting scanty.

"7.1 million dollars for

    The great news about the auction was that Hattie and Giovanni didn't even know who he was, which meant that the spy hadn't seen anything.Though, he was concerned about finding out who Pablo was. He needed to do it quickly before the spy found out about his identity. Grey made a mental list of people that knew about his identity to see if there was a spy among them.It turned out that Charles wasn't working against him, though he desperately wanted to see if he was really working with his father. Maybe he planned to take over his estate because he didn't say anything.Anyways, Don and Richard were loyal, including Maria. That aside, it turned out that Audrey's previous men were also loyal.So, the spy was still far from reach."I'm sorry father," Emma whispered. "I thought I could test him and see what he would do. Actually, the lady told me that he fell for it. She didn't tell me that she had initially explained to him which meant he would have fallen into the trap if Nora had not e

    "What should we do, Boss? I think you need to speak with Aphrodite." She repeated anxiously.Grey thought for a moment, unable to wrap his head around what to do.He knew that David would try to do something but he didn't expect he would delete the pictures which were so bad for him."Boss," Maria called again, softly."Tell Aphrodite that we are taking a short break and I would get back to her soon. Meanwhile, gather all the executives that are present in the next room. You will be having a meeting with me as the Hercules."Maria's eyes went wide with shock. " Are you revealing yourself?"Grey shook his head slightly. "We have phones, don't we?" Maria nodded quickly, baffled somehow but she knew that Grey had plans."Do what I ask you to. Get the executive in the room and call me on my Hercules lune. Leave the rest to me," he ordered.Maria nodded briefly. " I will do that now," she assured before she walked out of the room.Grey thought for a moment. Would it be considered wickedne

    Grey hung up and sipped more of his fruit juice. He decided to speak with Aphrodite as he knew that he would be so frustrated. He took a sip of the fruit juice before he walked out of the room.He walked to the changing room where he knew that Aphrodite would be. "Grey, what the fuck was that?" Aphrodite yelled suddenly at one of the makeup artists. She sounded so angry." I'm so sorry!" The makeup artist uttered, confusingly.Aphrodite was taking the frustration out of her.Grey sighed. "Novia," he called softly.Aphrodite turned back, and on seeing Grey, a smile appeared on her face. "Grey!" She called, exhausted.Grey smiled and looked at the make-up artist. "Leave us," he uttered.The makeup artist bowed slightly and walked out."How the fuck did the photos disappear?" She complained.Grey moved closer to him. " I'm sorry, Novia. It's all my fault. I'm so sorry for disturbing you," he said softly and moved to sit in front of her." I'm so frustrated. Would I have to do the shoot

    The shoot was going well.Grey decided to stay throughout the session. David kept throwing daggers at Grey. "That's cool! Let's stop for a few minutes while the Aphrodite changes into something else, " Maria announced.Some of the attendants hurried to give Aphrodite a bottle of water.Grey flashed her a smile before she walked inside. Maria walked to Grey. "Here, I got a very nice one that revealed her face as well as the product. You should use this on the bus," she stretched out his phone.Grey took it and stared down at the picture. An approval smile showed on his face. "Yes, this is great. What about the one that would be on our polo?""I found one for that as well. Let me have the phone," she took the phone from him and flipped through, then she stretched it back to Grey.Grey took it and nodded. "I love this. Will I have them as hard copies by tomorrow? We will need to place some in the company."Maria nodded. " I understand and I will arrange for that. You don't have to wor

    Avery watched Chloe's expression. "Is there anything you want to tell me?" Chloe sighed. " Nothing. But I just think you should sit and think about it deeply. This isn't something you can just decide on without proper thoughts."Avery shrugged slightly. " What difference does it make anyways? We all know who Grey is and how rich Chris is."Chloe moved closer as if she was scared of other people hearing what she was about to say. "Have you ever thought of the possibility of Grey being rich?"Avery stared at her, confused. " What do you mean?"" Like maybe Grey is rich but he's hiding it from you. Do you think it could be possible? Like he's someone wealthy and influential, you know anything can happen."Avery burst into laughter. " That's the funniest thing I have ever heard. Of course not! Why would I think to such an extent? Grey is wretched, poor but maybe he's managing now. It's not a day job to be influential, he has a long way to go.".It was getting even late into the night. A

    "Stay out of it!" One of the men yelled at Avery. "We are not here for you."Avery was more than confused. "How did you know my name? What are you doing with him? What do you want with him? We are together. "" The only thing we want is for him to leave this place right now and he should stop disturbing you. You are married. "Avery was shocked by the bone marrow. How did the men know she was married?One of the men turned to the others. "If he doesn't want to leave, force him to. If he struggled with you, then deal with him," he ordered.Avery's heart took on fast breathing. " You can't do this. Who are you? And why must you threaten him? Who sent you? " She bombarded them. The man regarded Avery for a moment. " Why should we tell you? You are going to do what we want or you will face the consequences," he warned in a thick voice."Don't worry, I will leave but tell me who sent you." Chris urged softly.The men went silent and the only thing Avery could do was observe them, perhaps

    The open day came so fast. Grey couldn't return home the day before. He slept off at Beatrice's place and even went to work from there.But when he got home last night, Avery still refused to speak to him and Grey decided she was still angry at him. Though, he wondered how long she would stay angry. And he wondered the kind of lies Chris had made to her recently.In fact, Avery didn't let him talk. It wasn't just ignoring, it felt like a deep resentment.It was the open day and Grey didn't want Avery to ruin it for him. Though, he planned on having breakfast that morning."Seems like the boss decided to have breakfast at home today," Smith teased.Grey looked up at him. " Should that be an issue?"Smith grinned. " I was only saying. Just you take everything the wrong way?"Avery was strangely quiet, different thoughts going through her mind in a whirling confusion."He's working extra, perhaps he wants to buy us a house," Emma said suddenly.Avery looked up at her mother and opened h

    Avery blinked once. "What?""You wanted a divorce, and I'm giving it to you," he muttered.Avery nodded briefly. " I'm glad. I will tell Grandpa about it but you should also see him and explain so it wouldn't look like a lie," she explained.Grey nodded once, with a straight face. " No problem," he turned around and left.Avery noticed a change in Grey's facial expression but she didn't care, she was supposed to be fast about it before Grey would initiate the divorce and make her look like a fool.That aside, Grey must have thought that she wouldn't find out about the assault issue and she was very much disappointed in him.Avery arrived at work and couldn't wait to talk to Chloe about it. She wanted to know how she felt about the decision she had just made. Sure, she knew she would be happy. She has always advised her to divorce. It was recently that she started speaking in parables. Maybe she didn't want Avery to use her as an example.Avery dialed her number. It rang severally but

    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
