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
“Sir?” David stammered, unable to bring himself to raise his head.Grey smiled softly. “Maria, I want the list of all the executives that had meetings behind my back in my office right now,” he ordered.“Yes boss,” Maria responded in a shaky voice.There was this usual aura around Grey after he was done with the transition that made her find it hard to relate with him easily as she normally does.Grey was in front of her, dressed like a trillionaire. There was no way she could treat him the same way. She had grown to fear and respect him the more.Grey entered the VIP elevator with Charles, Maria, Jimmy, and Richard.“Here they are,” Maria rendered and stretched out her notepad.Grey took it and stretched it over to Charles. “Since you employed them, you will find the best punishment for them. Though, I will be the one to punish David,” he added quickly.Charles shook his head slightly and took the notepad.“Maria should set up a meeting between all the executives that had the meeting
Alex couldn't stop thinking about it. Giovanni told him a lot of things about Hercules, especially the fact surrounding his father.But Alex could not take off something from his head. Giovanni told him the real name of Hercules. And it wasn't a coincidence that his name was the same as the Grey he knew. He couldn't suspect Grey, he didn't even want to. There was just something about him that doesn't tally. But he couldn't take his mind off him. So, he was going to find the truth out and clear the doubt."Ben!" He calls softly.Ben moved closer to him and bowed slightly. "Yes, boss." "Get prepared, I'm going to Digital world. I need to speak with Caramel."" Yes boss," and he walked out of the room.Alex needed something from Grey to conduct a DNA with sample with Giovanni. Giovanni had a sample of Rio's DNA.Caramel might not want to help him directly, so there was something in his mind already..The executives were shocked at Hercules's appearance. They didn't expect him to show
"If there's nothing else to say, then I will leave," Grey stood immediately and walked out of the meeting room with Charles and Maria.David felt speechless for a moment, even after the other executive had left."I knew it!" One had said. "We should be careful before David puts us into trouble, " they stated before they all walked out as well.David didn't know that Grey could do something so tangible. He had always thought he was useless and even senseless.Well, there was nothing to do but accept the deal. Hercules was strict and stubborn with things. He wouldn't change his mind no matter how much he pleaded. So, all he was going to do was work harder so that he wouldn't have to apologize to Grey.No matter what, Grey was still not up to his standard and would never be. He wouldn't stoop so low as apologizing to someone like Grey.."Don't forget the assignment, Maria. And let me know after you've decided."Maria nodded briefly. " I will get back to you by tomorrow."They entered th
