Leo woke up with a loud yelp. He was soaked in his perspiration but he felt a lot better. Though his head was still seriously banging and there were bandages all over his body.“Are you ok?” Alfred demanded suddenly.Leo looked over at him and slowly nodded. “I feel good now.”Alfred released a sigh. “That’s good. Giovanni took you, right?”Leo relaxed. “Yes, he did.”Though, he didn’t believe that he had already agreed to be Giovanni's spy. Not only that, he had told him everything about Hercules, and he had betrayed Hercules twice.He didn’t even know how long he could carry the burden.“Thankfully, we found you earlier. What was he planning on doing with you?”“He was-,” he hesitated and gestured towards nothing in particular. “He wants me to be the spy but I disagree. I guess he was going to kill me when you found me,” he lied.Alfred nodded as a sign of encouragement. “You should be fine by morning,” he assured.Leo nodded briefly and Alfred walked out of the room.Leo regarded h
Grey stared at the plane until it was out of sight. It felt like a pair of him had disappeared and as if he wouldn’t see it again. Well, Grey had always battled with love and the relationship with Caramel was his first best one. It felt bad that he was losing it because of who he was. And no way could change. There was no way he would run from his responsibilities, from his existence.His phone rang suddenly, jerking him out of his thoughts. “Hello, Alfred.”“Hi, Grey. Leo wants to speak with you and all the elders. I think we should meet at my house as fast as possible,” he suggested.Grey squeezed his forehead in concentration. “Why? What does he want to say?”Alfred sighed. “I think you should be there to hear him out. It’s not something I should say but I think it has to do with something from the past,” he hinted.“Has he remembered anything?”“Well, yes.”Grey groaned. “And why do I need to hear him out? It’s all clear that he killed my father and also shot me. He tried to kill
“What!” They all uttered at once excluding Grey and Charles. Grey’s gaze was firm on Leo as if he could eat him alive. If looks could kill, Leo would be dead already. Charles on the other hand was bitter with regrets as if it was his fault that Grey’s father was killed. Maybe it was because Leo was only trying to protect him. “Wait, I don’t get something,” Grey said suddenly, cutting off what Alfred was about to ask Leo. “Are you trying to say you killed my father to save me and Charles?” Leo closed his eyes. “I did what I had to do.” “Fuck you!” Grey yelled in anger. “You killed your best friend! And you had to pretend all these times that you lost your fucking memories?” He yelled. His muscles contracted and his fists clenched beside him. “Grey, wait, please. I need to ask him questions,” Alfred threw at Grey. Grey looked at Alfred. “Does it look like I want to figure out what he’s going to say? Do you think I want to know what a liar and a murderer would say?” He barked. He
Grey jumped on Charles very fast at the same time that he pulled the trigger. His thought was to take the gun from him before he would pull the trigger but it was too late.When Grey looked down, he saw blood and his eyes went wide with shock. He felt a sharp pain coursing through his body. “No, Charles! Why did you do this?” He yelled and adjusted so that Charles' head would be on his lap. Blood was gushing out of Charles’s chest and his face had suddenly turned pale.“Ambulance!” One of the elders yelled.“I’m sorry, Grey,” Charles muttered. Tears were slipping out of his eyes.Grey held him closer to himself like a baby and images from their childhood flooded in. They were close, very close then but suddenly, they’ve drifted apart. But deep down, Grey loved Charles like a brother would do. “Fuck you, Charles!” Grey yelled at him. “You shouldn't have done this!”Charles shook his head briefly. “I just avenged you,” he swallowed harder and winced in pain. “I’m just sorry it’s not
"What does it mean?" Alex probed in. He doesn't even understand anything as he didn't check anything because he was waiting for Giovanni to arrive. The only thing he was sure of was that Hattie was murdered.Giovanni looked up at him, while his hand crushed the cardboard. "It's Hercules and guess what? The result is out.""Seriously? Is Grey who we have been looking for?"Giovanni nodded briefly. "And I think he's trying to wage war or something. Maybe he's finally ready for direct opposition."Alex went into shock for some minutes which looked like an hour. "What! Grey is Hercules?"Giovanni nodded briefly. "He has been playing with us all these while."Yes, he has, like a chess game.Alex couldn't speak for a moment. It felt like he had the world dropped on him. How could Grey be Hercules? It doesn't even make any sense. It doesn't at first but somehow, it was starting to make sense."Grey was Hercules and he lied that he was dead? But what about the hair? I clearly did a test on it
Aphrodite decided to check Grey's father's tombstone while Jayden went toward Victoria's.Aphrodite kept trying Grey's line on the way but it was never available. It was as if he switched it off intentionally because he didn't want anyone to disturb him.Aphrodite was really worried and she was starting to feel uneasy. Yes, the truth was too much to bear. Nothing was worse than having someone you trust betray you. That aside, Grey would be worried about Charles.If Charles had died, he would have blamed himself forever. But how could they even control the situation? They succeeded in preventing Grey from shooting Leo but that was only the beginning. What would happen in a long way?That aside, what should they do with the fact that Giovanni now knows the secret they've kept for so long?Aphrodite's head hurt so much because of the whole thing but she knew she had to find Grey. Then, the rest would follow.She arrived at the location and hesitated before she got down. She barely took s
“What! What happened?” Alex yelled. “He was shot in the head,” the man explained. Giovanni's teeth clenched in anger. “This is definitely Grey! He’s acting really faster than we expect. Gosh, why didn’t I see this coming?” He mumbled. Alex hit his head in anger. “I told you it was Grey. He was probably the one that took the result,” he looked at his father. “What should we do?” Giovanni went quiet for a moment as he thought about it. “I need to call in Pablo Gotti,” he announced. . Grey didn’t move from his position for over an hour. In fact, it first looked as though he had zoomed out of the world. It was over two hours before Alfred and the rest of the elders arrived at the cemetery. And in fact, there was no one at the cemetery again except for Grey and the caretaker. Aphrodite didn’t move closer until Alfred and the others had arrived. “What! He has been there since you came here?” Alfred was surprised. “He has. He hasn’t turned or stood. I wonder what is really happenin
Alfred and Gregory entered Alfred's car and they barely drove for a few minutes when Alfred's phone rang suddenly.It was one of Alfred's men. Alfred picked it up immediately."Yes, any update as to where Leo is going?""Well, he tried to commit suicide," he revealed.Shock kept Alfred motionless for a moment. "What!" He exclaimed. He was shocked by the word."He tried to jump off the bridge but we stopped him. And we are on our way back home, you can just come home directly," he suggested.Alfred nodded once. "Alright, later then," he hung up and looked at Gregory. "Leo wasn't going to be the spy, apparently. The man just informed me that he wanted to jump off the bridge," he announced.Gregory sighed. " Thank goodness you didn't inform Grey the other time or it would be very difficult to change his mind. He would want to believe Leo is a spy forever."Alfred nodded once. "Do you want me to drop you at home?"."So, what are you going to do?" Aphrodite demanded.Grey looked away and
