“You look so surprised,” Giovanni laughed. “What am I doing here?” Gre asked in deep tones . “Am I here because I refused to withdraw from CCS?” Giovanni laughed. “You have issues to settle with me, Grey. Then you can bother about other things with Hattie.” Grey huffed. “So, I was right?” Giovanni gave a clear expression. “About what?” Grey regarded him for a moment. “Hattie is scared of losing. I mean isn’t she sure of herself?” He teased. Giovanni held a dark frown. “I need you to answer some questions or you might actually start paying for blabbing your mouth earlier, especially what you did at the auction,” he warned. Grey found himself laughing. “Oh, you were pained?” Giovanni released a sigh. “You do speak with Hercules. Have you seen him before? Is the news right?” Grey sighed. “You should be asking Jane this question. She used to be close with Hercules. Isn’t she the secretary?” “Not anymore Grey, after you came,” Jane stepped out. Grey looked up at her. “So, it’s pa
“What do we do with him?” Alex demanded.Giovanni hesitated on his way out and looked back at Grey.“He can’t leave,” Jane burst in immediately. “He saw me already. If we let him go, he would definitely tell the elders about me and they wouldn’t let me off so easily,” she complained.Alex nodded briefly. “Yes, that’s right. That aside, I find it hard to think of the reason why he was trying to move close to me when he was working with Hercules' men.”“Well, he obviously wanted to uncover your identity which he succeeded. He’s very dangerous as Jane has said. So, kill him,” Giovanni decided before he stepped out.Alex looked at Grey for a moment before he followed Giovani. “Should we just kill him?”“An accidental death. We have to make it look like he killed himself.”“What?” Alex raised skeptical brows. Giovanni stopped to look at him. “Grey killed himself because he felt guilty about impersonating Hercules. He wasn’t threatened but when the news came out, he decided to end his life
Leo couldn't stop pacing. He felt restless, not after what he heard about Grey.He walked to the living room and saw that Alfred wasn't back. It could mean that Grey might be in severe danger. The thought of it increased his heart beat.Actually, Leo remembered everything. He was just scared of letting Grey know the truth. He felt guilty anyways, that was why he stood off all these years. He couldn't bring himself to face Grey and tell him the truth.But if something really did happen to Grey, what would be his existence in life? And would Grey ever forgive him if he kept shut about it and pretended he didn't remember anything?He hit his head several times as the front door opened. He stopped and looked ahead as Alfred walked inside, followed closely by Charles and Grey and a lady he didn't seem to recognize.Grey hesitated to look at Leo. “Is he,” he turned toward Alfred. “_alright?”Alfred nodded briefly as he pulled out his phone to call a doctor.“Any first aid box? He won't stop
Grey was shocked for a moment. He couldn’t believe it. “Lawrence sent you guys to kill me?”“Yes because you are the only one preventing him from getting a contract with Protos Pubblicita. Why do you have to do something like that? You aren’t even the owner of the company. You are just a mere worker. And when you are gone, he will eventually get what he wants,” the man explained.Grey smiled softly. He didn’t think that Lawrence would result in something so dirty and that he was really going to destroy him finally.“Hey!” The man yelled again. “Why are you smiling? What’s so funny!” The facial expression changed as he raised his hand to hit Grey’s face but Grey caught it quickly, squeezed it, and kicked him by the leg.A cry of horror escaped him as the other men rushed towards Grey.Grey dodged a punch and gave the closer man an uppercut. He kicked another one and rushed punches to the closer men.Within minutes, they were all lying on the floor and groaning.“Now send this to Lawren
“What?” Caramel saw his hesitation but was already curious as to what he was going to say. She didn’t know if it had anything to do with the strand of hair that she sent to him instead of the real one.Or could the one she sent match with whoever Alex was trying to compare it with? That would seriously mean trouble for Grey and she couldn’t wait to alert him.“Grey has been lying to you a lot, to me.”Caramel huffed. “You lied to him too, remember? At least you didn’t tell him you were Giovanni's son.”“Well,” he hesitated for a moment. “Do you know it was Grey that actually exposed my identity?”Caramel stared at him for a moment as the words sank in. “What do you mean?”“Grey tricked me and made me expose everything to him for the sake of a friend. I thought he was my friend but instead, he exposed me to the world.”Caramel sat well. “I sincerely don’t understand all you are trying to say. What’s your point about Grey exactly? Because I trust him more than I trust you. Do I even tru
Caramel felt her head fly off at the announcement. She couldn't say anything for a moment as she tried to take in all the words that Alex had spoken.Caramel shook her head briefly. "That's not possible. Why would that happen? Why would he die?"Alex sighed, a bit angry at the word. "He killed himself, Caramel. He was guilty of impersonating Hercules and had to kill himself, especially after the news concerning the death of Hercules resurfaced," he explained.Caramel's hands flew to her head in desperation as the tears started to stream down her face. "No! That can't be! Grey can't be dead!" She yelled.Alex sighed. "You have to forget about him, Caramel. He's all in the past, you have to move on."Caramel collapsed on the floor as she sobbed harder. "Leave me alone, Alex.""I will stay until you are fit enough.""Don't bother, Alex. I can handle myself. Leave!" She said in a firm voice.Alex regarded her for a moment, "I will check on you tomorrow morning," he turned around and left.
Grey didn’t reply.Caramel regarded him for a moment. “If you don’t reply to me, it’s ok but I will find out on my own. I’ve seen your tattoo, just as I saw Alex and you were able to confirm who he was.”“Cara_” Grey started but she cut him off.“I know, you don’t have to ask me. You don’t have to tell me otherwise as well. Alex kept it a secret from me and he wasn’t so careless. That aside, he has been in this game for a long time. You were the one that asked me if he had a tattoo and I confirmed it for you. You revealed Pablo!” She pointed an accusing finger at him.Grey eyes twinkled but he said no word.“I’m going to tell him you have a tattoo too. Then maybe I will try to send him the real strand of hair,” she threatened, not that she was going to do it anyways. She only wanted to do anything to get Grey to speak. Though, if he really was what She thought he was, then maybe Caramel wasn’t saved. But, she knew that Grey would not want to hurt her.“What the fuck are you doing!” Be
Alfred pulled up in front of Grey's house. It was morning already when Alfred remembered it was Hercules's anniversary.Though the elders planned to visit his tombstone that evening he had to inform Grey that morning.Grey insisted on going before he would sit to plan with the elders. And Alfred accepted.Grey walked out of the house in black sweatpants and a grey t-shirt."Good morning, Hercules.""Good morning, Alfred," he responded as he entered the passenger's seat. "Let's go."Alfred nodded once and drove out into the street. He didn’t say anything until they got to the cemetery. When he looked at Grey, it felt like he zoomed out of the world.“Grey,” he called before Grey jerked back. He looked at Alfred and he saw a drop of tears. Grey was trying to act strong but he still missed his parents. It was a pity he lost them at such a tender age and to even think he wouldn’t be able to take revenge because was one of the elders that caused the death of his father.“Let’s go,” Grey sa
