"That's absurd! Why would you even come up with such an idea?" Charles complained.Grey moved closer to him and took the knife from him. " Why do you think so?""Because_," he started and stopped almost immediately. He looked at Tiana. "Let's talk elsewhere."Grey chuckled and cut the rope loose. " You should get a bath. I will send you some clothes so that you can change. Then, we can discuss more on our way back to Jacksonville."Tiana bowed. " Thank you so much, Hercules. Thank you so very much."Grey nodded once and looked at Charles. " Send one of your men to provide her with clothes but warned him that if he tries something stupid, his balls will be the breakfast for the dogs," he warned.Charles sighed. " I seriously need to speak with you," he stressed.Grey moved his head slightly. " Can you please tell your men to attend to Tiana, so we can move to the next person?"Charles let out a sigh and looked at Tiana. " Let's go," he invited and walked out with her.One of the men wa
The door opened suddenly and Charles walked inside.Grey turned to look at him. "Where's Fred?""Caught. He's in the other room, awaiting your order," he responded.Grey nodded briefly and looked at Cole. "I will soon be done here. It turns out I won't need to waste my time too much since Fred has been caught," he muttered.Cole groaned as he tried to regain himself. "Has he said a word?" "He's acting stubborn. I need you to bring his child and wife here. Maybe he would talk by then," he teased." Please, don't take my family. I'm begging you," he expressed.Grey turned to look at Cole. " Why should I listen to you?"Cole groaned. "Please, don't hurt them. I'm begging you," he cried." Then, I'm going to be asking you for the last time. Who sent you, Cole?"Cole groaned inwardly. " I don't know, I receive orders from the phone."Grey regarded him for a moment. " How did he collect your number? Who is the middleman?"Cole groaned again. "Todd."" Todd?" Grey repeated. " Who's that?"
Grey car was waiting for him at the Port. He dropped Tiana at the hospital before he decided to speed home. He remembered something on his way. He placed a call to Linda and she picked up immediately. "Hello, boss." "Hello, I need to speak with you. Where are you currently?" " Well, I'm still at work. I decided to settle some things before I retired home. Is something wrong?" " No, but wait for me. I will be there soon," he finished up and hung up. He knew that if someone was seriously after him, then he might need to lure them to the company. He needed to know who was looking for him. He pulled up in front of Victoria Skincare company and walked inside. Linda was waiting for him in the lobby. "Good day, sir. It has been a while," she meets him with a wide smile. Grey reciprocated it. "Maria told me some things and I decided to see you concerning it. Though I can speak with my mother concerning it there's something else you must know," he informed. Linda nodded briefly. " Shou
Someone jumped forward, almost kicking Grey in the process. He jerked backward, thereby releasing the other man in the process.Grey watched as the man moved closer to the second one to pull him up. Grey got up and watched two men hurry out of the garage.He regarded them for a moment before he entered the car and drove out of the garage.If he wasn't so tired, he might have decided to speak with Alfred that day. So, instead, he drove straight home..Lucy was fuming with anger. "How can you use all the company funds? How are we sincerely going to prevent the company from going bankrupt?" He yelled." I had a good dream for the company. I just didn't know it would end like this," Smith mumbled.Emma sighed. " I sincerely don't believe all this is happening. I think LX should borrow funds from LN. They should be able to manage it. Don't forget that Smith borrowed from the bank and the deadline is near. If we don't do something, we will lose our reputation in public," she explained.Luc
It was impossible! How could a diamond like this be the fake one?"Are you kidding me? Are you trying to scam me?" Avery yelled in anger. " I'm telling you the truth, miss. We don't scam here. Whoever gave you that knows it's not the real diamond because no one can sell or buy that for even twenty million dollars. I'm only buying it from you because I was fascinated by it but no one will do it. You will never get a buyer for it," he stated.Avery took her diamond from him and rushed out of the store. It was impossible! There was no way the diamond would be fake. The manager must be trying to extort money from her.So, she decided to try her grandfather's friend. Her grandfather's friend would definitely do her well and he would never lie to her.She should have thought of it initially instead of wasting her time.She soon arrived at Lucy's friend's store. Avery didn't know his name but she does refer to him as grandpa too.There were days when Avery usually visited him. In fact, he g
"You have been so busy all these days, and I haven't been able to speak with you," Beatrice said suddenly as Grey was about to walk up the stairs.He stopped and looked over to the kitchen where Beatrice was. He smiled and moved closer. "Your color doesn't look good. Are you feeling well?" She observed.Grey nodded once. " I'm just tired," he decided not to go and see Jimmy again until he got back from Italy. He was so tired from the trip already."You should eat and rest well. Is there something you want me to make for you?"Grey thought for a moment. " I'm just too tired to eat. I will rather go to bed like that. Maybe we will see tomorrow morning," he whirled to leave but pulled to a sudden stop as he watched Caramel wall closer to him."You are definitely eating something, Caramel. That aside, I have something to tell you."Grey smiled and pulled her for a slight kiss on the forehead. "I'm too tired to eat. All I need is a shower and some rest."Caramel walked past him. " You wil
Charles had already arranged everything before they got off the plane.They got lodged into a nice suite in Italy. While Charles went over to make an appointment with the CEO of the Disegno shoe company, Grey waited in the room.His phone rang suddenly, the moment he switched it on. It was Alfred."Hello, Hercules. Are you in Italy now?"" Yes, I am," Grey hesitated. " How is Leo?"" He's fine. Though, he still doesn't remember anything. The doctor is yet to release the result. But from the look of things, the doctor doesn't think he's suffering from dementia. Instead, he thinks it can either be temporary or permanent memory loss," he explained.Grey nodded briefly. " Alright, I was going to talk to you when I get back. I've found my last card and I might be revealing my identity to the public after it," he revealed." Seriously? I will tell the others about it. We can discuss it at my house. I can't wait for you to show yourself to the world as well," he said with a hint of happiness
“Do you know him?” Charles asked as he sensed that Grey was shocked.Grey nodded briefly. “I do. I mean someone that looks like him at Jacksonville. In fact, I've met him twice, or have I been seeing him wrong?”Francesco laughed. “No, it's the same person. Mattee told me a lot about you and I couldn't help but wonder who you have really turned out to be.”Grey stared at James, still confused.James moved nearer and sat beside Francesco. “Hi Grey, I'm Mattee,” he stretched out his hand for a handshake which Grey caught with raised brows. “Also known as James in your city and by you obviously,” he revealed.So, Grey was right. It really was James but Grey just couldn't believe it. How was James able to do it? There was no attachment at all.Three barmen walked nearer with a bucket of ice. “Let's drink!” Francisco announced happily.Charles regarded him for a moment before he moved a bit closer to Grey. “Francesco looked happy today. Are you sure we shouldn't have brought the men? Or s
