Smith slowly released a sigh. He had promised Chris not to say anything and he didn't want to betray him. Though he was certain that Avery wouldn't marry Chris as she had decided, it was still wrong that Smith would be the one to let the cat out of the bag."Smith, why aren't you saying anything?" Avery asked suddenly, jerking Smith out of his thoughts."But don't you think you might change your mind about Chris?" He asked instead, ignoring her question."Just answer me, Smith. I know you are very wicked but isn't it the right time to tell me everything? What did you do? What did you plan?" Avery raised her voice slightly." Well, I can't tell you anything. Just see Chris about it. He's in the best position to explain things better," and he walked out before she would say something else.Avery blinked once. What did Smith mean by that? Does it mean that Chris knew something? Could it be that the two plotted something behind her?.Grey pulled out into the street. It was actually the
Grey shook his head briefly as Alex emerged. Alex sighted them from afar. There was a smile on his face as he moved closer.There was no way Alex would be Pablo. Pablo was supposed to be tough. But what if, just what if he was undercover like he was?No one would believe he was Hercules as well unless he proved it. Some things could be the real ones but there might not be enough evidence to prove it.What if Alex was hiding?He did tell him that he had never missed going to the club. And he seemed to know something about Pablo according to what Caramel had said."You made it eventually," Alex whooped in delight. "I actually thought you were going to skip today as usual."Grey smiled. "I told you I wouldn't. I need to get back on track, like the likes of you."Alex chuckled. " You have a long way to go, Grey but I will try my best to assist you."Grey laughed." I don't need your assistance, I'm very perfect like this," Caramel uttered, diverting the man's attention to her.Alex pulle
"Sit," the man ordered in a thick voice. Grey moved to a nearby sofa and sat on it, his gaze still on the tattoo. He actually tried to compare his voice with Alex's and saw a huge difference. Perhaps Alex was just close to Pablo as Caramel had suggested. "You wanted to see me?" He hesitated and turned around, revealing a big lion mask on his face. His head was also covered. It was like he didn't want anyone to trace him at all. Now that Grey was thinking about it, he couldn't stop comparing it with Alex. If Pablo was really someone he didn't know, he wouldn't cover all the things that could actually expose who he really was. "Yes, I want to be someone near to you," Grey lied. Pablo regarded him for a moment. " I'm going to show you what I look like," he announced. As much as Grey wanted it, he couldn't stop feeling weird that Pablo actually wanted to do it. "Why? I mean I can work for you without knowing what you look like," that was another lie anyways. Grey desperately want
Grey hurried inside. Alfred and Gregory stood as he walked inside."Are you ok, Hercules?""Gregory has spies within," he announced. "Damn! They shattered my plan!" He grieved.Alfred raised a brow. " Is there something you aren't telling us?"Grey nodded severally, as he watched the men. "I was supposed to meet Pablo today and he was just about to show me who he really was," he explained.Gregory got anxious. " So, what happened?"Grey let out a sigh and sat. " Failed. It was my fault! I should have told you. If I had, you would have pulled a stop to your plan. I would have been able to see him. My plan has completely been thwarted!" He complained with a feeling of sadness.The two men watched him for a while before they all sat."I don't think it's the right time to blame yourself. We need to find solutions," Alfred initiated." Yes," Gregory chimed in. " Hercules doesn't blame himself. In fact, he's not supposed to reminisce on a matter for so long. We need to think of something. W
Grey woke up ten minutes before 7 the next day. He got home late the night before and kind of missed Avery's complaint about it. Grey made oatmeal as he didn't even want to cook. He had initially called Richard to meet him at home. They were going to Alex's gym to work out. Grey had decided to work more on his physique structure as well as trying to learn how to handle a gun. Horn sounded from outside and Grey knew that it was Richard. Just as Grey walked out of the kitchen, he ran into Beatrice. "Grey! Why did you wake up so early? You came late yesterday!" Beatrice scolded. Grey smiled. " I'm fine. I need thirty minutes workout. I will complete it by afternoon." Beatrice shook her head briefly. "What should I make for you?" Grey thought for a moment, " Anything is alright," he pecked her and walked out of the house. Richard was already waiting by the door. "Good morning boss." "Morning Richard," Grey replied and moved to the passenger's side but Richard hurried closer and
"You can't leave like this, Avery! You can't pretend as if you don't know what's really happening! " Smith yelled all of a sudden. Avery gave him a dirty glare. " What do you want me to do? What the fuck did you what me to say?" Her tone matched Smith's. She was so angry, in fact much more than angry. She found out that Smith planned to ruin Grey's open sale. Even though she was going to divorce him, she didn't support what Smith did. She knew why he did it anyway. It was because Smith was so obsessed with the LX corporation. Somehow, it looked like Grey was finally making it. As much as it hurt Avery to see this, she was secretly glad about it. Somehow, she was happy that Grey was making it even though she didn't know the reason why. "So, you are going to side with Grey against your family?" Smith was enraged. " You guys are divorced!" He reminded her. Well, Avery had sent the papers to Grey after signing. So, somehow they were not couples anymore. "Don't remind me!" Avery sa
Avery called Chris when she was on her way and Chris was so happy that Avery was coming over. In fact, he thought that Avery was ready to accept his proposal.When he knew he had her cornered already. He did literally everything for her and even her useless husband was gone for good.Though, Chris had no intention of making their marriage permanent. He just lusted after Avery and had been feeling so down because Avery had rejected his advance.A couple of sex would do the trick and he would find a way to divorce her. He and his four friends contributed 5 million dollars each to the quest.If he won Avery over, he would get 25 million dollars for himself. So, everything was just a game. Well, there was nothing else he could do, or what would Avery do if she discovered that most of the things he gave her were imitations? Divorce was the easiest."Avery, welcome," he walked her inside and gestured to a sofa, a wide smile on his face.Avery wore a dark frown as she sat. "I'm not here to s
Grey got down from the car, with a bright smile on his face. He hesitated to pick up his phone before he walked inside.He was in his workout clothes. He went to the gym directly from work. Eventually, he ended up driving to a nearby restaurant to have something to give him energy before heading home. Also, he spent a lot of time with Alex. Though, for a reason unknown to him, Alex never mentioned Pablo.He opened the door and saw Beatrice in the kitchen. "Mom," he called happily. "How are you doing today?" Actually, the word 'mum' felt so strange in his mouth. Maybe it was because it has been so long since he mentioned that word.Beatrice turned to look at him, a wide smile on her face. "Have you had something?""Yes, on my way but with the aroma in the air, I will still be taking a bite."Beatrice smiled. " Go and shower. The food will be ready soon."Grey smiled again and took the stairs up to his room. He felt a bit exhausted but he was glad to be making progress.He took a long
