“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
Alex was at the bridge until it was fully bright in the morning. The men have been searching the water since morning for a piece of evidence that Grey was dead.Alex didn’t want to give his father a false alarm which was why he made the men search further into the water.Could the sharks have gotten to him? Or other sea animals? Yes, that could have been the case but there would have been evidence. There should have been something that would indicate that Grey was really in the water, that he really died.“Fuck!” Alex cursed severally as he stared up at the sky. It was too light. Cars were already moving across the bridge. It would take a few more minutes before they would notice them. “Why the fuck is he nowhere to be found!” He yelled with frustration. “There’s no shoe! No blood! No torn clothes! Nothing!” He paved restlessly.One of the men hurried closer to him. “We need to leave, boss, it’s already morning,” he advised.Alex regarded him for a moment with clenched teeth before he
Grey didn’t want to think about the fact that Leo was staring at him or the fact that the expression meant something else he couldn't figure out but he didn't want to talk to him. It was taking him every ounce of his strength not to do anything to him.He wasn't going to kill Leo but they might as well stay off each other till the end of life. There was no way he wouldn't feel anger anytime he looked at him and remembered he was actually the one that killed his father.“Done, Boss,” Jimmy brought him back to the mundane world. “ I await your message.”“I will proceed with the assignment then,” Maria informed and left earlier.Grey took his previous clothes and moved out of the room. He went past Leo as if he didn’t even see him. He entered another room and got changed.When he walked out again, only Charles was in the room. Funnily enough, he was with Leo. They sat opposite each other in a way that showed that Charles was actually trying to initiate a conversation.Grey went past them
Grey turned around slowly, the phone still in his hand. “Who are you? And what are you doing here?”“Is something going on there?” A voice asked suddenly.Just before the man could say something, a car drove inside, followed by another. And everyone got distracted including the man that was pointing a gun at his face.Grey took the opportunity quickly. He punched the man by the hand quickly so that he would drop the gun before he squeezed his next.He took to the run quickly while the other men attended to the cars that just drove inside. Grey didn’t know if it was Charles or not but it was a great opportunity that he didn’t want to miss.“Hey! Get him!” someone said suddenly as Grey hurried towards the entrance. Some of the men turned towards Grey but it was too late and he had slipped inside already.A man in a suit was speaking on the phone and walking towards Grey. Grey hid quickly and waited for him to move nearer. When he got closer, Grey came out and hit him by the neck and he
Maria walked out to Jane having a chat with one of the employees. “What do we have here?” Jane turned to look at Maria, with a dark frown on her face. Yes, what do we have here? Who is this?” “I should be the one asking you that. I am the one and only secretary here. When did they employ you anyways?” Maria smiled softly. “I will warn you for the last time, to leave when you can still do so or I will call the security guards on you!” She warned. Jane hesitated for a moment. “You! Maria!” She took a step closer to her. “Do you remember where you were? You were working at one of the lowest companies owned by Hercules. You aren’t up to my standard!” “Well, now everything has changed, hasn’t it? You now work in the lowest company while I’m working in Protos Pubblicita.” Jane laughed. “No problem. I’m coming back and when I do, I will be taking the seat that belongs to me,” she turned around and left angrily. Maria regarded her for a moment. “That is if you can come back.” .Just
