Grey pulled back a bit, a bit skeptical as to why he kissed her. Was it because he wanted to stop her from speaking? Caramel was getting too upset and it was not good at that moment. So, Grey had to shut her up.Though, he couldn’t yet deny how he felt for her at that moment even though he had tried his best not to show any feelings. It felt weird that he just kissed his ex-wife's friend but well, he was only human.“I divorced Avery, remember?”“Maybe I made you do it,” she said stubbornly, catching Grey off guard.“Heck no, Caramel. You are not the reason I broke up with Avery. It just happened because we weren’t compatible. It would have been better if we had started as nothing. The relationship was something that could have been avoided,” he explained.Caramel blinked once, then twice. “What?”Grey stepped back, his hair already damp with rain water. “Just forget it. Let’s stay out of the rain before you catch a cold.”“Why did you kiss me?” She asked, stopping him in his steps. “
Smith regarded Avery for a moment, daring her to start a conversation about the company's funds.Avery didn't want to say anything anyways because she had no time for it. She was going to wait according to Smith’s promise.“I made some investigations and I’m intrigued to discover that Grey actually owns Victoria skincare,” Emma stated, with a hint of surprise.“You mean the company that is making heads already?” Benjamin asked, confused.“Yes, I’m telling you!” Emma affirmed. “You can ask Avery. She knows more than I do! I just don’t know why she didn’t tell us anything before the divorce.”Lucy looked up, a bit shocked. He hadn’t expected Grey to succeed so much but he suddenly knew he had the potential.“Don’t be so optimistic about it. He’s going down soon. LX will always top,” Smith expressed.Avery groaned but didn’t answer. She was just tired of everything. On second thought, she stood. “I’m leaving for work,” she took her bag and walked out of the room without another word..G
Grey left the house some minutes after Beatrice and Caramel had left the house.“I was thinking of getting some guns but Don said you should have some at home,” Richard said as he sped off.Grey nodded briefly. “I should. I will ask Charles about it.”He hasn’t even seen him in days and it felt like he had been avoiding him.Charles picked up immediately. “Hello, Grey. Are you alright?”“Yes, is there a reason not to be?” Grey inquired, surprised at his question.“Oh not really but Gregory told me about your girlfriend that was kidnapped by Hattie. I sincerely think it’s time to show yourself to the world,” he revealed.Grey stared ahead for a moment. “It’s not yet time, Charles. I will let you know when we should be discussing this.” He stated.Charles let out a sigh. “Alright. So, why did you call?”“I wanted to ask if I could get some guns at the estate. Did you leave any?”“Sure, there are guns. You have a store full of it. As the Hercules' estate, it has always been like that. Ar
Grey pulled to a sudden stop and looked at Richard. "That's good. That means I won't be following you to the estate."" No, you can follow me over. I mean I only need to pretend to be you," he protested." No, I have a way to check if the driver is also a spy. And don't worry, I'm positive that my plan will work out," he assured.Richard reluctantly nodded. " What do you want me to do now?""I'm going to call Charles and let him know of our plans. So, what you are supposed to do is very simple. Just act as if you are Hercules and I will finish the rest," he explained, not really in the mood to expatiate.Richard nodded briefly. "That's fine," he got down and maneuvered around the car to the driver's seat.Grey got down and stepped aside for Richard to enter the car."But why don't we do this the easy way? We could just take everyone and torture them till they spill the milk," Richard suggested." Yes, right but that will mean torturing innocent people. Now, go!" He ordered.Richard no
"What are you doing here? Damn, I should be the one asking you that!" Grey snapped.Tiana shook her head slightly. "Nothing, I_," she pulled to a stop suddenly and went on her knees. " Please, forgive me. He was going to make me do things that I don't want. That was why I had to drug him. I didn't kill him and he's alive! " She rattled off.Grey regarded her for a moment before he moved closer. " Tell me then why you are trying to find out what Hercules looks like."Tiana opened her mouth wider in shock, as an acknowledgment of a tactical error.Grey crouched in front of her. "Do you know what I love? I love when people tell me the truth immediately. I don't like to stress over it, " he expressed in a thick voice that Tiana's heart started beating faster.She shook her head negatively. "I didn't do anything wrong, I swear! I didn't try to find out who Hercules really was. I was_," she was forced to a stop as Grey hit her neck slightly. She dropped to the floor unconscious.Philip's ph
Grey smiled and tried to insert cartridges into the pistol.Richard watched him do it, only to clasp his hand together for him. "You are a fast learner, I'm impressed, boss."Grey looked at him for a moment, a smile still tugging at his mouth before he aimed at the Target. He shot it severally and the bullet almost penetrated the bull's eyes."This is fast. In no time, you will be able to hit the target correctly," Richard complimented. " We should take a short break. What should I get you?"" Wine is ok," Grey responded and placed the pistol on the table.Charles appeared from behind him. "You are swift. Did your father teach you all these?"Grey moved to sit. "I'm a full option, which is why I am being very careful. Imagine if I had shown those people I was Hercules, what would have happened?"Charles nodded briefly, finally surrendering. He moved to sit in front of Grey. "I understand but sooner than later, you will still have to show your men that you are Hercules."" Yes but not
Grey got home late that night. He had to undergo some changes because of the party. He definitely didn't want to give Giovanni the chance to recognize him as the Grey he met at the auction. That aside, he would likely be seeing Alex that day as well. “Grey!” a soft voice called from behind as Grey took a step on the staircase. He stopped suddenly as realization dawned on him. He had forgotten that Caramel might be at home. Well, Caramel won't be at the billionaire club party, definitely. Grey turned around slowly to look at her, a smile on his face. Caramel regarded him for a moment in shock and admiration. Slowly, a satisfied grin curled up around her mouth. “What did you do to your hair?” “Just a change of style. I realized I needed it,” he lied. Thank goddess Charles would be coming over with the special deodorant and the suit or Caramel might suspect more. She was a great thinker anyways. “Wow, it fits you greatly,” she compliments. “I was going home anyways. I forgot my keys
The billionaire club party had started already. Some of the bigwigs in the society were already present. Reporters and paparazzi filled the vicinity, each trying their best to get a view of a shot of the Billionaire.That wasn't even the important thing. News had spread like wildfire among them. Hercules was going to attend the party and it was the first time in ten years that he would be attending a public gathering. People just couldn't wait to see his face and what he really look like.Three cars pulled to a stop in the driveway, the leading number displaying Giovanni. One of the entourage rushed to open the car door as Giovanni got down, accompanied by several men. Alex and Hattie also got down beside him and they both entered the hall.The paparazzi took several photos but the reporters were clearly uninterested. It looked like they were really waiting for Hercules.The party had started long ago and every important guest had arrived except Hercules. And it was slowly starting to
