"What? He's dead! That's not possible!" Charles uttered, clearly shocked as well.Grey looked at Charles for a moment, as a feeling of doubt overswept him. Was he supposed to trust Charles at that moment?"We will need to check the cameras. It would definitely show there. I will go and check it out. You all should enjoy the rest of the party. It will end soon anyways." Gregory muttered.Alfred nodded, affirming his words. " You should calm down. I will send some men around the hall too so that we can see if he's really around."" I will release some men inside the hall so that they can search around for us. You needn't worry, Hercules. We have it in control," Jayden mentioned.Grey nodded forcefully. "Alright, no problem then," he tried to breathe out and that was when he remembered that he left Caramel in the hall the other time.Alfred, Jayden, and Gregory walked away, to make the request they had promised.Grey's gaze searched around again for Caramel but she was nowhere to be foun
Just as Giovanni opened his mouth to say something, a man in a suit hurried closer to him and whispered something in his ears.At this, Giovanni's eyes went wide with shock. "Are you sure?"The man nodded briefly. "Very sure, I saw when he entered the car and they drove away."Alex regarded his father for a moment. " Did something happen? Is something wrong?"Giovanni ignored Alex's questions and instead looked at Hattie. " Leo is alive."Hattie's eyes went wide with shock as well while Alex stood still, skeptical. "Who the fuck is Leo?"Giovanni eventually looked at him. " We need to discuss this elsewhere. We are leaving immediately," he told the man.The man bowed slightly and walked away."I will tell you all you need to know when we get home. This isn't the right place for it," he informed Alex.Alex nodded in understanding..Grey drove right behind Alfred's car, his mind in deep thought. The mask was still on his face and he barely noticed.He remembered the first time he saw L
Grey threw the gun away as he proceeded toward the car. He entered and drove out.The elders stared behind him, bothered but skeptical. "This has something to do with Leo, right?" Gregory inquired softly. His question was aimed at Charles but he didn't answer him. " I just asked a question, Charles!" His deep voice matched the same time that Grey used earlier." Don't ask me. Hercules already said he would explain but yes, it has to do with the foolish man I call my father," Charles mentioned.The others could only stare. It was at that moment they realized it was something very huge and they wondered when Hercules would come back."What do we do about Hercules?" Luciano demanded." I fear whatever is eating him is something very huge. We seriously need to make him talk sooner." Gregory advised.Alfred nodded briefly. "We need to call Aphrodite. She's the only one that can talk to Grey," he suggested.Richard was even too shocked to say a word. He had never seen Grey behave so violen
Caramel woke up to the sudden knock on the door. She opened her eyes slowly, as she tried to focus on something or where she was.The door opened suddenly, startling her for a moment because she had a blanket over her body and it felt like she was naked beneath."Grey, I_," the voice stopped suddenly and that was when the puzzles filled themselves into places.Grey asked her out and well, she accepted. It was what she had been waiting for anyways. She loved Grey like the air that she breathed."Violet!" Beatrice called and moved towards her. She had this wide smile plastered on her face. Caramel wasn't actually expecting her to be happy that she met her daughter naked in a man's bed."What happened here? Are you dating Grey already"Caramel stared, dumbfounded. She didn't know if she was supposed to say a negative or positive answer. "Somehow. Where's Grey?""He went for his morning exercise. He will be back soon but you need to tell me if something is really happening between you two
"I didn't know I would attend, sincerely. I didn't have an invite but suddenly, the delivery man was standing in front of my doorpost with it," she explained while Hercules watched with curiosity."So, you attended the Billionaire party?" Grey asked with little surprise as if he wasn't there.Caramel nodded severally, amidst eating shawarma. "But that isn't the funniest thing in this story. The first thing is that Hercules chose me. Did you see it in the magazine? I mean why would he dance with me?"Grey tongue seductively went over his lips. " He must have found you attractive. You aren't easy to resist."Caramel laughed. " So, you were resisting?"Grey nodded quickly. "But not anymore."Caramel was happy about this. " So, guess what I did or should I rather say what I've been planning?" She started anxiously.Grey pretended to be anxious about what she was about to say, as he bit down some steaks."So, I've decided to stop working at my father's company. Ok, he's not even my father.
"What the fuck!" Gregory yelled suddenly, standing up in the process. "Are you fucking kidding us? How could Leo kill the previous Hercules?" Luciano questioned.Grey sighed. " Well, I saw it. I watched Leo shoot my father to death before he shot me as well and I lost consciousness," he revealed.Gregory gave the chair two consecutive punches. "How can that be?" His angry voice echoed throughout the whole room."I'm not getting this. I'm just not getting it. So, this means we actually have an enemy in our midst? Giovanni isn't the first enemy?" Jayden uttered."Hercules knew what this would cause, that was why he refused to say it until today. We shouldn't misuse the opportunity. We should however be calm to hear the rest of the story," Alfred explained.Gregory grunted and forced himself to sit. "This is seriously rubbish! We need to ask Leo why he did it! What had happened? Why would one of the elders kill Hercules and injure his son!" He complained, feeling very disturbed.If Leo
Charles swallowed even harder. "You were my friend. And I just had to do what came to my mind," he looked away. " So, that was why I was shocked when I heard you say he was alive. I knew it wasn't possible. In fact, we saw a burnt corpse and there was no one else in the house with him when I left," he explained." What the fuck is this?" Luciano exclaimed softly." No! What are we supposed to do, Hercules?" Alfred demanded.Grey regarded Charles for a moment. " That's all?"Charles nodded briefly. "That's all I know, and I promise," he said truthfully.Grey released a sigh and looked away. "We need to hear from the horse's mouth. The only person that can tell us what really happened is Leo," he expressed." But he doesn't remember anything. How are we sure he's not suffering from dementia?" Jayden demanded, stressed.Grey thought for a moment. " You guys need to take care of Leo. We need him to come back. Well, I have a lot of questions to ask."Alfred nodded. " I will monitor his hea
Smith's heart raced as he stared down at the laptop screen. Actually, when he saw the sale decline, his heart nearly stopped beating. He didn't know what went wrong. The sale was increasing so high that Smith knew he was eventually going to enter CCS finals.The door burst open and he didn't even know. His attention was all focused on the screen of the laptop as if a miracle would happen at that moment."Boss!" Mia screamed suddenly, jerking Smith out of his thoughts. He looked up at her, with an expression that showed how angry he was.Well, Mia turned a blind eye to it. "We have a problem, sir.""Of course! Do you think I don't know?" He snapped. "I have the fucking laptop in front of me!" He yelled.Mia stepped back in fear. "I am so sorry sir but I just need to report this to you very quickly."Smith sighed. " What is this all about?"Mia moved closer and placed her notepad in front of him. "We got this mail this morning."Smith read through and his head did a flip. " What the fu
