"You have to speak to your daughter! Because I don't understand what is wrong with her!" Emma expressed angrily.Avery sighed. "Mom, you can't force me to do things."Benjamin looked at Avery. "Avery, your mother wants the best for you. You have to do this to make her happy."Avery looked at her father. "Wait, dad. Is this supposed to make her happy or the best for me? How can I even approach him? Would it make sense that I divorce him and I suddenly want to marry him again?" She raised her voice slightly.It was morning and her parents wouldn't stop talking to her about marriage. Victoria Skincare was getting even more popular. Fortunately, CCS was near and it was certain that Grey would be competing with Hattie very hard. Since Grey was getting, even more, better in business, the family excluding Lucy wants her to marry Grey again so they could at least protect the family from bankruptcy.Emma huffed. "Come on, Avery. We all know how Grey was hesitating to leave you. He would defini
Grey drove right to Alfred’s house after work. Charles informed the elders about the meeting and they decided to meet at Alfred's house instead of going to the hotel like they used to."How is he doing?" Grey asked when he settled down.They all knew who he was referring to. And they knew it was only good that Grey was taking care of him and not killing him for all he did."He's getting better but he still hasn't regained his memory," Alfred revealed.Grey nodded briefly. "Let's go straight into the discussion then. I need the plan to evaluate the spies once and for all. I need to officially pronounce myself Hercules."Alfred regarded him for a moment. "Do you think it's the time to do that?"Gregory groaned. "I guess the time will never come, or will it?""Well, I don't think we need to delay it any longer. Leo was the one that killed the previous Hercules. I don't think it should delay Hercules from pronouncing himself." Jayden explained.Luciano sighed. "I think Jayden is right. We
Grey blinked once, then twice. Confused and shocked was an understatement. Grey was flabbergasted. He remembered how much he went through during their marriage. How Avery tampered with his dignity and ego.It was weird that she could be confessing her feelings at that moment."And no!" She said quickly. "I'm not telling you to come back. I just had to tell you this, I mean before I leave," she let out a sigh and looked up at Grey. "I regret everything that I've done to you. In fact, I regret how our relationship came to be. I'm sorry for trusting Chris over you. I'm sorry for letting you go through all you did. I hope you can forgive me."Grey nodded once. "It's ok. I forgave you already, a long time ago but if that's why you want to leave, you shouldn't. Isn't your life here?""I don't think so, Grey. Nothing is going well for me at this point. I feel like a loser and I need to start something to feel alive again," she explained.Grey stared at her, as he didn't know what to respond
Grey made sure Caramel had left before he walked inside. He placed a call to Jamal immediately.Well, he couldn't say but he knew that Avery made the best decision. At least, he wouldn't have to choose between her and Caramel.Jamal picked up after the second ring. "Hello, Hercules.""Hello, Jamal. I want to inform you that your son has been accepted as one of the workers in the Italian shoe company." He announced."What!"Jamal squealed with happiness surging into him. "Is this for real?""Well, I gave you my word and I don't like going against it. Your son will be given special treatment so you don't have to worry about him getting fired," he explained."Thank you so much, Hercules," he appreciated."I'm really grateful," he expressed deeply.Grey nodded briefly. "Alright, but keep to your word and everything will go well and normally.""Sure," he admitted..Grey woke up late that day. He was still feeling a bit tired from all the trips. Tiana was currently in the hospital and Grey h
"So, are we accepting?"Grey looked up at Jane and nodded briefly. " We are and we will be attending the interview."Jane nodded briefly.Grey stood up. "I will leave then since there are no other things to attend to."The moment he walked out of the elevator, his phone rang suddenly. It was Beatrice."Hello, Beatrice.""Grey! Hattie has been arrested!" She announced. "It's all over the internet," she expressed happily.Grey nodded briefly. "I told you. And even though Giovanni rescues her, there will still be some leftovers of what she had done. That should keep her off for now.""Yes, later then." And the phone went off.Grey pulled a call to Maria and she picked up immediately. "Hello, Maria.""Good morning boss." Maria sounded clear from the other end."There's a piece of ongoing news about Hattie. You have to take your report because it must appear in our magazine till CCS day.""Noted sir, I will send some people toward the location and we will start preparing the news asap," sh
When Grey got home, Gregory and Charles were already waiting for him. It took him a while actually because he had to sort out some things at Protos Pubblicita.They were having a cup of wine when he walked down the stairs after a change of clothes."So, may we know what this plan is all about?" Gregory started.Grey nodded briefly, and poured himself a glass of wine. "A big plan, Gregory," he took a seat beside Gregory. "The three of us will have to go to my estate. We caught one of Charles' men that was spying on us and trying to find out how Hercules looks like."Gregory gathered his brows. "Seriously? We seems to have a lot of spies admist us.""Yes," Charles confirmed. "I didn't know and I've been with him for some years now. It seemed like it was planned," he explained."So, Fred is still my prisoner. So, I plan to let him go. Actually, it would look like he escaped. It will be staged," he explained."So, you mean that Fred would be the first person that would spread the news abo
Grey, Gregory, and Charles left the estate late so that Fred would be able to get as further as he could. Gary went with him, so Charles noticed. Though, he knew it was Gary that would plan his escape out of the spacious estate."So, it's a success?" Gregory asked when they walked out to the car earlier the next morning.Charles nodded briefly. "I think it is since Gary isn't even back till now."Gregory entered the car. "He probably wanted to make sure Fred arrived safely or to make sure it's believable."Grey nodded briefly. "I guess that's the case. We should go back to Jacksonville and wait for the result," he suggested.Everyone nodded in agreement before they entered the car.On the plane back home, Charles kept failing Gary's phone but he wasn't picking up. The job alone was tiring, so at one point, he was frustrated.He looked over at Grey. "Do you have an idea why Gary wouldn't pick up?"Grey darted at his watch. "It's over five hours already and we will be arriving in Jacks
Gregory looked at Grey. "You think something is amiss?"It was evening already and the elders gathered at Alfred's house. Thomas and Gary have arrived with the rest of the men but Charles told them to stay at his house. The meetings with the elders have to come first."We need to move faster. We need to make Giovanni think there's really no Hercules," Grey started."How do we do this?" Jayden demanded."Anything that will strike as suspicious. Get the men to guard my estate unnecessarily. Get a man to go to my estate dressed like me. There should be a mask and others," Grey explained."What do we do with Gary then?" Charles asked suddenly. "Grey feels something is way off about him.""You need to ask him questions when he gets here. I mean he would definitely have the answers to what we want."Grey thought about it for a moment. "Let's play it slowly. We don't really know at this moment if Gary is a spy or not. We have to be careful. And for the meantime, we still have to continue pre
