Grey froze for a second but quickly got back to his senses. He knew that he had to act quickly. “Stop there!” He yelled and jumped forward before the intruder would dip the string into Charles's skin. The man ignored him and struggled to continue with what he was doing but Grey's hand was already on his, thwarting his plan. “Who are you?” Grey demanded as he gave him an uppercut, thereby making him fall to the floor. The man regarded Grey for a moment while still on the floor. “Who are you?” Grey demanded again. The man didn’t say anything, instead, he went over to the other side to continue her plan of injecting Charles. Grey jumped over Charles and kicked the man in the chest. The kick sent him reeling backward. Before he could get up, Grey was already over him, giving him blows filled with hatred and anger. “Grey?” A familiar voice said from above him, making Grey lose control all of a sudden. He looked back, skeptical because he thought that Charles was still in a coma.
Gregory moved closer to them. “What is going on here?”Doctor Mike smiled. “Nothing, Mr. Gregory. How can we help you? Do you need anything?”Gregory looked at Grey. Their gaze met and locked for a moment. Gregory sent him a look that said,’ what are you doing here?’“Is anything happening with the gentleman here?” Gregory questioned.Mike glanced at Grey. “Not really.”“But doctor Mike, this guy was really trespassing and must be arrested!” The nurse was being adamant.Mike looked at the nurse. “I don’t think that’s true because Mr. Grey is the CEO of Victoria Skincare,” he announced.Mary raised skeptical brows. “That can not be true! I think you took him for someone else. I clearly saw this guy constituting a nuisance. He should be arrested.”“You want to arrest my guest?” Gregory said suddenly, shocking the three people for a moment.Mike's eyes went wide as he looked back at Gregory. “What! He’s your guest?” He knew what it meant. Gregory was one of the important people in the ci
Grey heart filled with gladness. “You are awake!” He announced loudly.Two men rushed inside at the voice.“Is everything alright?” one of the men asked.Grey turned to look at them. “Get the doctor immediately!” He yelled the order at them.The men scampered out of the room while Grey turned towards Charles again.He was glad to see him like he felt his spirit leap for joy.“I thought I was dead when I woke up early but when I saw you, I got confused. I mean you weren’t dead, so there was no way I would be seeing you,” a smile spread across his face.“You were fast. I was going to come and get you,” Grey teased, a smile forming on his lips.Charles tried to laugh because of the words but he started coughing. “Take it, easy man, I just woke up.”Grey smiled. “I’m glad you are better. I’m so happy to see you again.”Charles nodded briefly. “Me too. But did something happen?”Grey shook his head briefly. He didn’t want to bother him. “It’s ok. It’s nothing to be bothered about.”Charles
“So, what are you going to about Leo?” Jayden asked suddenly.Grey looked up. “Where’s he by the way?”Alfred sighed. “Inside. I haven’t been opportune to inform him about the good news. He’s probably sick with dread,” he expressed.Grey looked away as he thought about it for a moment. “Alright, Prepare him for a trial.” Grey stood and made to leave.Luciano looked at Grey. “You are not going to kill him?”Grey raised his brows slightly. “No, but he’s going to be punished accordingly. I won't kill him because I’ve forgiven him. It’s Giovanni that must suffer anyways,” he voiced out.The elders nodded quickly and a sigh escaped them.“That’s actually pleasant to hear!” Luciano laughed.Jayden nodded briefly. “Sincerely.”Alfred looked at Grey. “I’m glad you aren’t going to kill him.”Grey nodded once. “I want more men to watch over Charles. Nothing must happen to him. I will be going home now.”“I will tell the men to go with you. They can always return,” Gregory suggested.Grey shook
"Who are you?" Grey demanded again.The man didn't respond and instead moved nearer. He pulled out a knife from his pocket. A new knife that sparkled even in the dark after it was pulled out of its sheath.Grey knew what was coming at him even without asking.The man rushed towards Grey swiftly, almost slashing at him. He dodged his attack but got hit by him instead.Grey found himself on the floor. He turned to the man quickly. "You know who I am and you still want to kill me? You have no fear of what that will do to you?"He smirked. "I'm not scared whatsoever. In fact, there's something I know but you don't. Something you should but haven't," he twirled the knife in his hand. Grey raised skeptical brows at him. "What?"He smiled. "It's left for you to find out!" He launched another attack on him.Grey dodged and punched him this time. He took the punch with his palm as Grey would. Grey hit him in the leg until he lost balance and found himself on the floor.Just as Grey moved to
It took almost forever before the door opened slowly and Jane walked inside.Grey could see the fear in them. In fact, he had to stop over at SU before going to Protos Pubblicita that morning. Because it was morning, Grey was sure that Giovanni wasn't watching. And well, he was with Don and Richard like the elders have wanted.The moment she was inside, Richard moved closer to the door.Jane regarded Richard for a moment before she fell to her knees in front of Grey."I'm doing what you want. Please, don't kill me." She beseeched softly.Grey ignored her and looked away. "Has Giovanni called?" He asked instead.Jane went mute for a moment as the words were stuck in her throat."You better answer the boss now before_," Don's thick voice trailed off when Grey put up his hand to stop him."Yes," Jane released a sigh and tried to stabilise her heavy breathing. "He has. He called me several minutes ago."Like magic, the phone started ringing again.Jane froze for some minutes in fear, befo
"The cream," one of the reporters added, as if aware of Grey's confusion.With Grey's intelligence, it didn't take long before he understood what they meant. Someone must have tampered with the cream and he knew exactly who that might be.The door opened suddenly, and Don squeezed himself into the front seat. "Lock the door now." He ordered.Richard complied just in time as one of the reporters tried to open the door."We are moving! Get out from behind us or we will be forced to drive you over!" Don warned.Richard started the ignition and the people jerked back in fear. He reversed and eventually took a U-turn.Grey's phone rang suddenly, its noise almost deafening him. It was Alfred."Hello Grey, where are you? Something had happened with Victoria Skincare? "He announced.Looks like the news is everywhere already. "I'm in the car, on my way back to Protos Pubblicita. I was coming from Victoria Skincare and I'm not sure what happened just yet.""I don't advise you to go to Protos P
"Call the men to a standby. You are taking Lawrence the moment he walks out of that hotel," he ordered.Don nodded briefly. "Alright, Boss," he got out of the car to make some calls while Grey continued to watch the entrance of the hotel.It took over three hours when Lawrence walked out of the hotel."He's out," Don said to the receiver."That man," Grey said suddenly as he pointed towards a man that walked out with Alex.Don followed the path of Grey's gaze. "Who?" He demanded with confusion written all over his face.Grey didn't talk again as he continued to watch the man closely walking with Alex. There was no way his eyes would be playing tricks on him. It was the man that attacked him the night before. So, he was right and he was really working with Giovanni."Let's move," Grey said suddenly as Jane walked out of the hotel."Yes boss," Richard responded and started the ignition. Jane was still walking along the street, looking confused and in deep thought.Richard pulled up be
