“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
"I'm warning you, Lawrence, for the last time to stay out of lane," he finished and turned around, leaving Lawrence with his mouth wide open in agape.Grey and the rest of the men walked back to their cars after leaving Lawrence in the middle of the road."Hey! Come back! You don't dare leave me here!" Lawrence yelled in anger, till their cars were out of sight.."Where are we going, Boss." Don inquired."To Alfred's house," Grey responded. He still didn't want to go home. He had no idea how the next morning would be for him. And for that moment, he wanted to avoid any excuses.He didn't know if Lawrence would listen to him and finally pull back but that was the only warning he would give him. If he tries any shit with him again, Grey would make sure he never wants to stay in Jacksonville again.Grey's phone rang suddenly, forcefully pulling him out of his thoughts. But the caller wasn't who he expected, not at that moment.He hesitated for some moment before he eventually picked it
Grey released a curse, unable to hold back his anger. Pablo Gotti killed Francesco? It came as a shock to him but he was still skeptical about when it happened. If Pablo was around two days ago, then when did he kill Francesco? Alfred gave Grey confused brows. "Do you know who Pablo Gotti is?" Grey sighed and nodded briefly. "He was the man that attacked me yesterday. He works with Grey now," he explained. "But why would Pablo Gotti be working with Giovanni?" Alfred regarded Grey for a moment. "I don't get this, you mean you've fought with Pablo?" Grey nodded once. "I have. When did your father die?" "Three days ago." So, Pablo came over to Jacksonville after killing Francesco. Well, killing each other was what was associated with the mafia. They were always walking on a thin thread. James stood up. "A lot of troubles lie ahead, Grey but I need to kill Pablo as soon as I can." Grey released a sigh. "Pablo is coming after you, Grey. You need to take him out before anything e
"What!" Grey got up. "How did she disappear?""I_," Tiana choked on her words. "she went into one of Giovanni's hotels and she has refused to come out. I've gone inside now and there's no one in the room that she was supposed to be. It looks like she outsmarts me," she explained.Grey tried to call down. Jane had probably told Giovanni about everything. And he needed to act fast.What was he supposed to do?Well, he had a trick to play to buy himself time anyways but he needed Jane for it. "Keep looking for her. We will talk later," he informed her before he hung up.It was almost time for him to see Emily. Linda was one of his loyal workers and he mustn't abandon her.His phone rang suddenly as he walked out of the bathroom. It was Emily. He picked it up."Hello, Emily. How are you doing?""Fine boss. I'm ready."Grey nodded once. "I will pick you up soon. Send me your address.""Alright, boss," she responded and the phone went off.Just as Grey finished dressing up suit because he
