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
"Richard, I need you to go through the internet and see who the victim was," he pointed out to him and looked at Don. "As I've said earlier, you should check the victim at the hospital. I want you to give me feedback today.""But what about going to work? You shouldn't be alone," Don protested."Don't worry, I won't go to work. I will just call Maria over. And that's when I will need you, Jimmy." He looked over at Jimmy.Don nodded briefly. "We will depart now and meet you at home very soon," he muttered and got down from the car. Richard and Jimmy do the same as well. But Jimmy went to the driver's seat and got inside."Where are we going, Boss?"Grey watched Don and Richard for a moment until they entered a taxi and drove off."We are heading to my house."Jimmy turned to look at Grey. "Is that fine? I mean reporters are looking for you already.""They wouldn't be able to come when I do what I have in mind. There's a huge plan coming up and they wouldn't have any choice."Jimmy nodd
"That's actually a nice idea but Giovanni would try to get out of it easily. It would be as if it never happened," Alfred observed. Gregory nodded once. "You are right," he looked over at Grey. "Is this where your plan stops?" Grey smirked and slowly shook his head. "Unfortunately not. You are right, Giovanni is known among the police and it would be easy to stop the media and seal the police's lips. But," he hesitated and sat up. "What if a dead person is involved?" "What! A dead person? But who?" Jayden demanded. "Here's what will happen. After the news spread out, Giovanni might not be that worried but Alex will. He's impatient and acts blandly sometimes. And we are going to use that against him," Grey hinted. "Seriously? You are really a good judge of character," Luciano smiled. "Yeah but," he looked at Maria and realized the phone was in her hand at the moment. "Maria and Jimmy should go ahead with the press and share the information on the internet. You must make the news a
