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
Gregory already got the ship ready. In fact, the men were already making their way inside the ship after getting tattooed when Grey arrived.Alfred moved closer to him. “I need to ask you a question, Hercules.”Grey looked at him and nodded briefly. “What’s it all about?”Alfred sighed. “I wanted to ask about Leo. Should we-,” he hesitated. “I mean, I don’t know how you will take this in,” he paused as he let out a sigh. “Should we take Leo in?”Grey clenched his teeth unconsciously. “No. I don’t want a murderer on my ship!” He muttered and walked away.Alfred sighed and looked at him until he was out of sight. He knew that Grey wouldn’t agree to it anyways. Though, he still needed to take it easy. But he knew it wouldn’t be so easy to forgive a man that killed one father.Alfred didn’t know if it was good to leave him at home alone. He had no idea what Giovanni would be up to. What if they check his house, find him there, and kill him?Well, Grey wouldn’t care about this. He’s sure h
Grey looked down at his men from a corner. Even though they were worried about the fact that some of their men might pull back at the news, the turn-up was still massive. Hercules has a lot of men and Gregory got the right ship for it.Grey’s eyes searched around quickly for Caramel as if he would see her amid the crowds.The ship has taken off already and Grey knew that she would be inside somewhere. He didn’t know if he was doing the right thing by letting her in but he sure knew that he would lose her if he didn’t. And well, Caramel might eventually find it out and the funniest part is that it might be clear to Alex sooner than later who he was.And he wouldn’t be able to harm Caramel. He wouldn’t! There was no way he would order something like that.Gregory walked closer to him. "Boss! We are far from the shore already. I think we should start whatever you plan," he informed.Grey let out a sigh and looked at him. "Gather the elders, I'm coming out soon," he ordered.Gregory nodde
Grey walked to a raised podium. The room was seething with Hercules'men while the elders were already waiting for Grey at the raised podium. Grey moved closer to them. He was wearing a blue suit and a black mask. And he was followed by Aphrodite. He hesitated in front of the crowd as they went silent in anticipation. "Is Hercules truly dead?" Someone asked suddenly, from the audience. There were a few minutes of dead silence as everyone thought over the question. It was palpably clear that they believed the news. "It doesn't matter if he is. I will always be for Hercules!" Someone said suddenly, with a raised hand. "Yes, me too!" Another person joined in and soon, they were all saying the same thing. "I spread the news," Grey started suddenly. "About my death!" He added quickly. The look on each man changed briefly at the announcement. "Does this mean Hercules lives and you are the Hercules?" Another man demanded. Grey didn't respond. Instead, Charles stepped out. "Here's the
Grey made to move but Aphrodite stopped him quickly. “Where are you going?”Grey looked at her. “I have someone to see at this very moment,” he said hurriedly and walked past her while Alfred said the last words before the men continued with jubilation.Aphrodite regarded him for a moment until he disappeared. She saw her anyway. She knew that Grey's new girlfriend was invited on the ship.Grey walked out in a hurry to look for Caramel. The ship had already taken up. So there was no way she would get off. She could have been taken aback by the revelation, surprised, and had hidden somewhere.“Caramel!” He called suddenly, then hesitated when he saw her from afar staring out into the water. It was getting darker slowly and the ship had already been turned around.Grey let out a sigh before he moved nearer to her. He wondered what was going on in her head or how he was supposed to start his conversation with her.Caramel jumped up as Grey touched her. She looked up at him with surprise
Caramel stared at him for a moment as if she was preparing the next thing to say. “Yes, I’m fucked up! I can’t keep doing this.”Grey regarded her for another moment. “Why? Why do you want to break up with me? Is it because you are scared of Alex? Or is it that you can’t bear staying with me because I’m Hercules?”Caramel blinked once and looked away. She sucked in her breath. “ No,” she dragged, “no,” she repeated as if she was indecisive about her decision. “I love you, Grey but I’m scared. Oh, what I ever wanted was not to get into all this shit. I don’t want to get involved with anything Mafia. My mother was killed by one of them and…” her voice trailed off.Grey didn’t say a word. He didn’t want to interrupt her and make her forget what she was about to say. Caramel let out a sigh. “All I ever wanted was to have a normal man as my boyfriend. I didn’t want to get into the mess again because I’m scared of it. I don't want someone from the mafia, I don't want that,” she sobbed sile
"She just told me she's leaving," Beatrice voiced out.The ship successfully returned to the shore. Caramel left even before Grey would be ready to leave. She was already avoiding him. Grey drove Beatrice home and left the elders in charge.Grey nodded briefly. "Are you leaving with her?"Beatrice hesitated. "I guess I will have to stay behind. I mean I need to help you here."Grey regarded her for a moment. " What did she tell you when she discovered you actually worked for me?""Well, she was disappointed," she sighed. "But there's nothing I can do about that or is there?" Grey nodded briefly. "Someone will be joining you at work. Teach her everything she needs to know about the cream so that you can join Caramel wherever she's going. She needs you more than I do."Beatrice watched his expression. "Is that ok with you?"Grey nodded briefly. "It is. Just update me if anything comes up."Beatrice nodded once. "I will do that. Thank you."Grey's phone rang suddenly and it was Alfred's
