Grey stared at the invite. “It’s happening so soon. Why wasn’t I informed beforehand?” “The members didn’t know who you were and you haven’t been active in the society,” Aphrodite responded and took her wine cup for a sip. “Alfred wouldn’t mention you because he was protecting you but since it’s turning this way, I’m guessing we need to use it to our benefit,” she suggested. Grey looked at her for a moment. “Is there a way I can partake in this without reviewing my face?” Aphrodite shook her head. “I think it’s high time you came out. But If you will really be accepting the title of the billionaire boss, then you will need to finally reveal what yourself to the world,” she regarded him for a moment. “Though, I think it’s a bad choice.” Grey grunted and sat well. After he left Victoria Skincare that morning, he picked up the invite from Maria and had been thinking of the right thing to do. Gregory called him to advise him not to go. He was really worried but Grey knew why Alfred w
Before Grey could actually think, he was already responding, kissing Caramel as he had always wanted. Well, he had this pent-up desire for her. When Grey finally regained his composure and pulled back, a smile was tugging at Caramel's mouth before she lost consciousness again. The door opened suddenly, and the security guard walked out. “Boss, is everything alright?” Grey nodded briefly and scooped Caramel up. “ Take the car inside," he ordered and walked inside, with Caramel in his arms. Caramel didn't wake up again until he had safely placed her on the bed. She mumbled inaudibly as Grey pulled the blanket around her, while wondering what had really made her drink up. He had never seen Caramel so sad and driven by something. The moment he walked out of the room, he almost collided with Beatrice. "Is that Caramel?" She asked anxiously. Grey nodded and closed the door. " She came here drunk but she's currently sleeping. You can check on her tomorrow morning." Beatrice nodded bri
David felt very annoyed but he was secretly planning on how to go about it with Hercules. He would show Grey how much power he had. When he succeeded in winning Hercules to his side, it would be easy to eliminate Grey out of his way."I respect your decision a lot, Grey but have you thought it through before deciding to meet with Mr. Jamal?" Alfred asked. He sat in the back seat with Grey while Saint drove the car.Grey stared out through the window thoughtfully. "I've thought it through. Jamal is the only one that can help me out. And to seek his help would mean I would have to expose my identity to him," he explained." Yes but what if Jamal is working with Giovanni?"Grey looked at Alfred for a moment, the question sinking in very faster. "I will use my influence on him. Jimmy did some research and discovered that his only son looked forward to working with one of the Italian shoe companies in Italy." He said briefly, expecting Alfred to grasp the rest.Alfred regarded him for a mo
Jamal thought for a moment and slowly nodded, "I will do anything to help you."Alfred let out a relieved sigh.Grey nodded briefly, satisfied. "The only thing I need your assistance with is preventing the members from insisting on seeing my face, I will handle the rest."Jamal nodded once. " You must be present on the party day. I will wall you in as the new Billionaire president. You should be assured of all other things," he promised.Grey smiled and stood quickly. Jamal did the same as well. " It was nice meeting you, Mr. Jamal," he stretched out for another handshake which Jamal accepted.Jamal let out a smile. "The pleasure is all mine. I hope we will meet often after today."Grey smiled. "As you wish. I'm actually involved in some things but we should see very often."Jamal smiled even wider. " I'm so glad about this meeting, I really am."" Thanks for giving me such an opportunity."" Well," Jamal shrugged slightly. " You are a well-known personality in society. So, I was plea
Grey's head almost flew off, and his hand went hard over the phone. "what? Where the fuck are you now?" Beatrice sobbed softly. " I'm at home. " Grey hung up quickly and pulled out of the company at a fast speed that it looked like he might get involved in an accident anytime soon but he knew his way around already. Though, somehow, he found it difficult to believe Caramel was really kidnapped. So, he placed a call to her instantly but her number was unavailable. His heart felt as though it was going to stop. Caramel of all people? And then he wondered how that could have happened. Caramel wasn't involved in him in any way. And she didn't even know he was the Hercules. How come then? And who could have kidnapped her? Well, Giovanni doesn't know who he was and Hattie doesn't know he was Hercules either. That aside, he wasn't even married to Caramel. So, there was no way she would use her to get him. He soon pulled up in the front yard and got out of the car. Beatrice was standing
“Boss, I’m sorry!” Don said quickly and took some paces backward in fright.Grey tried to pull back but he was so angry. “She has been kidnapped, you fool!” He yelled at him.Don's eyes widened, as realization eventually dawned on him. “I didn’t know, I swear boss! I didn’t know!” He pleaded earnestly“Boss, please calm down,” Richard interjected.Grey muscles contracted as he turned away from them quickly, instead, hitting the wall beside him. He was so angry that he could actually hit Hattie if she was standing in front of him at that moment."Boss, we have to do something about it. Please, talk to us," Richard probed, while Don stood still, still afraid to utter a word.Grey went silent for a while, as he brood the matter over. His head was really calculating and contemplating on what to do.His fists clenched even harder, and he let loose his anger again by punching the wall. He wondered what Caramel was going through at that moment and what she had been made to go through.He had
Grey found a safe place to park the car before he placed the nose mask on carefully. “What are you doing?” Jimmy asked, still confused.“I need to enter that building,” he indicated to the old building in front of them.“I'm coming with you,” Jimmy said quickly and made to open the door but Grey looked back at him quickly.“You are staying in the car, Jimmy. You are going to alert me when Don and Beatrice are leaving,” he explained.Jimmy stared for another moment. “But I can't let you enter on your own. It's dangerous and the elders will never spare me if anything happens to you,” he wondered aloud, his voice breaking with fear.Grey pulled a chain from the safe. “That's why I chose you, Jimmy, and not to complain in my ears. Nothing will happen to me,” he stated and opened the door.“Wait!” Jimmy said suddenly, just as Grey was about to get out. “At least take this,” he stretched out a gun.Grey stared at it for a moment and cursed under his breath. “I can't use those, not yet. Tha
"You have a company already, a big one at that. What do you want to use the recipe for?" Beatrice asked, still unable to wrap her head around the fact that she was being forced to choose between her daughter and her boss.Hattie smiled slightly. "Not enough, and this recipe should have been mine. You cheated nature but that's over. You will get me the recipe because I promise to do all I can to achieve my aim," she swore." You will not get away with this, Hattie." Don expressed with hatred.Hattie looked at Don. " Or what? Are you going to involve Grey?"One of the men rushed inside and moved to whisper into Hattie's ear.Hattie looked up at him, with a shocked look on her face. "Escort our guests out, Henry," she ordered and one of the men bowed in response. Hattie stood and followed the guy out of the room.Actually, Don wasn't able to mobilize the guys to check around Hattie's house because her security men caught them the moment they parked.Beatrice looked at Don. "Do you think
