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
Grey jumped down and brought out his phone. There were several calls from Beatrice, Don, and Jimmy. And, Grey sensed that Don must have seen Jimmy.He ignored it, placing the phone in the safety of his pocket before moving towards the car.“I'm going to mobilize the men eventually. We will have to penetrate the building,” Don expressed.“What for?” Grey asked suddenly, startling them for a moment.They all turned to look at him and relief washed them.“I'm so glad you are safe,” Beatrice cried softly.Grey sighed and pulled the mask off. “Let's leave. We can discuss this in a safe place,” he started and moved towards the car.Beatrice entered the back seat, beside Grey while Don and Richard went back to their cars.They all drove out of Hattie’s street. The other cars followed Grey to his house since Grey didn't let Jimmy stop until they got back home.“Boss, we were so scared. You shouldn't have entered the building alone. You could have informed me,” Don said quickly the moment he e
After the meeting with the advertising company, Smith returned to his office with Mia.Smith stopped in front of the desk, with his hands over it for a moment in a thoughtful manner. “We need more funds.”“Yes sir. Do you think we should ask LN for it?” Mia suggested.Smith thought about it for some minutes and turned around to look at Mia. “That won't work this time. Avery wouldn't allow me but I have to pay for this advertising company. I'm very positive about this. It will surely work out .”Mia sighed. “Do you think we should meet with Hercules for promotion? We will be able to pay later.”“No,” Smith shook his head briefly. “I'm going to take a bank loan. It's the best way in this case.”Mia sighed. “Alright, boss.” She turned to leave but stopped almost immediately. Somehow, she knew it was a bad idea to borrow from the bank because it was going to have a great effect on them if something happened afterward.But Smith was being stubborn and there was nothing to do but to listen
