"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
"We are speaking to his friend. Look for her and make sure you are fast with it. We are not sure who is currently watching you guys. And inform me the moment you have her with you," he informed."Alright boss."Grey hung up and looked up at Aphrodite while she does her thing. A smile escaped him as he got up. He still had a suit on and he was going to change attire.He went upstairs for a quick shower. He relaxed a bit. He felt like he hasn't been able to have a nice night's rest and it was beginning to tell on him.With his hands against the wall of the bathroom, he started to think while the water streamed down his body.Suddenly, he missed Caramel. It felt like she had been gone for a million years. Sadly enough, he doesn't even know if he would ever see her again. It looked to him like she was going to leave him forever. She just used those words on him so that he would let her go willingly.Grey would have sworn to protect her with his life if she had been calm with him. And it p
Grey's phone vibrates several times while he was asleep.It rang over and over again. After the third ring, Grey opened his eyes. He felt tired after eating so he retired to bed.But somehow, something kept disturbing his sleep. It was his phone.He took it and realised that it was Alfred."Hello," Grey said to the receiver."The plan is working, Grey. The news is currently spreading but Giovanni as we all know has been bringing down websites.""I expected that. Giovanni would be furious about it and might even want to question Jane as to why the pictures leaked out or how she slept with Alex while she was sleeping with him as well. Well, I'm just sure he would have a lot of questions," he laughed and got off the bed. "Though, he would be more cautious of his actions because of us. That's why we are concentrating on Alex," he explained."Yes, I understand. I will get in touch with others and monitor the progress," he assured.Grey nodded once as he walked to the living room. "Thanks,
Grey didn't understand at first until he concentrated really hard. "Wait, Do you mean someone forced your husband to pretend to be sick?" Mercury shook her head briefly. "No, that's real and that's why I was leaving. I mean I'm tired. I don't think I can't do this anymore and what if they come back? What if they try to harm me?" She rushed the words and got Grey confused. "Slow down, Mercury, and explain what happened to you. I don't seem to be able to make any bits from all you've just said." He muttered and looked right at her. Mercury sobbed quietly. "Alright, I will tell you everything," she sat very well but her gaze was still everywhere but at Grey. "My husband and I actually fell in love with Victoria Skincare. He loved it from day one," she stopped talking and sucked in breath instead. "Yes, go on," Grey egged her on. He was certain that the information Mercury was going to reveal would help Victoria Skincare and Linda. So, he had to be patient. That aside, he had nowhere t
"The police? I thought_," Maria started but he waved her to stop before she would say what she wasn't supposed to in front of Violet."Leave, and direct them to Hercules's office," Grey informed her.Violet raised skeptical brows. "But the boss isn't in the office right now.""Of course he is. Do as you have been instructed!" Maria chimed in.Violet opened the door and eventually walked out.Maria turned to look at Grey again. " I'm sorry about that, Boss. I was just shocked. But how come the police are looking for you? I thought you said your plan would put that on hold for a while?"Grey nodded briefly. "Yes, I did say that but maybe they are here for a different reason. Maybe it isn't because of Victoria Skincare. So, I will meet them like Hercules and see what it's all about. Tell them that Grey isn't currently around if they asked," he picked a face mask from the desk and walked out of the office, leaving Maria behind.He entered the office and was able to put on the facemask min
Alex hit his fist against the chair angrily. He couldn't stop thinking. And the fact that he had been staying in the house for days wasn't helping at all.He stood up all of a sudden as the door opened and one of his men walked inside. "How is the situation outside?"The man sighed. "It's nothing to write home about. The reporters are everywhere looking for you. There's nowhere to run to," he explained.Alex grunted and slumped on the chair again. How did the media get the pictures in the first place? Though, he was sure that it was Grey at work. He just didn't know how he could think so far.Well, it was all Jane's fault. If she hadn't kept the pictures in the first place, Grey wouldn't have seen it. The thought of it was enough to drive her crazy.The door opened suddenly. "Boss!" Someone yelled.Alex looked up. "Yes, what's it?"The man moved closer to Grey with a magazine. "You have to see this, young master." He announced and stretched out the magazine.Alex took it, a bit confu
Alex intentionally left his phone behind because he didn't want any disturbance. He knew what to do and he was going to do exactly it.If his father was close by, he might have been able to discuss it with him before he decided to act up. But he didn't know where he was at that moment and he was certain that he was still angry at what he did. He wouldn't want to listen to him.Well, Alex would go ahead with what he wanted to do. By the time he was done, Giovanni would be grateful he did.He pulled to a stop in front of the huge building, another of his father's houses in the city. It was where Jane was.He didn't even know why his father was protecting her. Jane caused everything anyways, it was only normal if she was the one that solved it.Two of the men staying watch of the house hurried towards Alex."Is there anything we can do for you?" One of them demanded.Alex regarded them for a moment. "Where's Jane?"The two men exchanged looks. "She's currently asleep. Is something wrong?
