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?
Giovanni already sent out a man to check on Alex at home. He had also sent someone to get Jane to his other building. He was to get Jane and bring her over as fast as possible so that they could clear the mess they'd gotten themselves into.He doesn't know why he kept having feelings that Alex was going to do something very stupid. He just had to stop him anyways.He sat, waiting impatiently for the men to come back. Yet he kept on calling Alex but he didn't pick up. It was as if he left his phone behind and went somewhere.Or could Alex be in one of his clubs after he had forbidden him not to? Giovanni was getting furious again.It was Alex's fault anyway that they were hiding. He had no right to go to the club at such a trying time.The door opened suddenly, jerking him out of his thought. He looked up at the first guy he sent out to look for Alex. Also, his other house is kind of far from his location. So, he wasn't really expecting the man he sent over to o come earlier."Yes, whe
Grey pulled up in his house and entered the living room. Gregory and Alfred entered the room behind him."I thought we agreed to kill Alex. Giovanni should know how it feels when we lose someone we love, someone close to us," Alfred muttered.Grey regarded Alfred for a moment. "You still don't understand it? Alex must not die before Giovanni. Giovanni dies first. When he's dead, Alex and I will battle," he announced.Gregory exchanged a look with Alfred but didn't say anything."After Alex is in the prison, we will plan on how to deal with Pablo, then Giovanni. I won't be the only orphan here. Alex will be an orphan too," he finished and walked upstairs.Alfred turned to Gregory. "I think we should try to understand Hercules. He's probably feeling more pain than we are. I mean, it's not really easy on him," he explained.Gregory nodded once. "I was just surprised at his sudden change of mine but he seemed to always have a plan in mind," he released a sigh. "I guess we should continue
Grey walked out of the room in pyjamas. He entered the living room and switched on the TV. “Are you happy?” Aphrodite asked suddenly as she moved closer with a cup of coffee in her hands. She handed one to Grey and sipped hers slowly. “I’m not happy, not yet. I won’t be happy until I’m done with Montego,” he slipped the coffee slowly as he continued to watch the news. “The next person is Lawrence,” he turned to look at Aphrodite. “I need to put him in his place before we start with Pablo.” Aphrodite nodded briefly. “I understand. Oh, that reminds me. I found some information about Lawrence. His daughter is getting married on Saturday. We could find something to do then.” Grey looked at her. “Nice,” he smiled softly. “I will think of something good.” . “Fuck! What have you caused!” Giovanni couldn’t stop yelling. He couldn’t even think at that moment, everything felt blurry to him. He wondered how Grey was able to think to such an extent. He really surprised him and Giovanni wou
Gregory dropped the magazine on the table in front of Grey. "The news is all over the town," he announced. "Yes, Alex is behind the counter and awaiting judgement," Jayden chimed in. Grey crossed his legs. "Now, I'm happy about this. So, now, I think we should be worrying about Pablo. He's currently the next on our target. Though, Giovanni would be very angry now." Alfred nodded once. "He would be planning well with Pablo." "That's why we have to think of an excellent plan," James said quickly. Grey looked at him. “Do you have anything in mind?” “We need to trap him. I will come up with the strategies today and give you feedback by tonight. How about that?” Grey nodded briefly. “Nice because I need to be at work presently. I have something to settle. Let's meet at Alfred’s house tonight.” James nodded once. “That’s fine. And yes, congratulations on your successful job well done on Alex. Though,” he hesitated. “I was expecting you would kill Alex because that was what we discuss
Grey was too shocked. “Aphrodite?” He called as Aphrodite pulled back.“What?” Aphrodite smiled. “As smart as you are, Grey, there’s something you don’t always understand. That’s the way to a woman's heart,” she revealed and pulled back the more until she was out of Grey’s arm. “You just asked me a very difficult question, Grey.”She looked away and left Grey hanging. He was more than shocked.Maybe it was true that Grey didn’t understand the way to a woman's heart but it wasn’t entirely his fault. There was no way he would even think so far of something with Aphrodite. Aphrodite was supposed to be his close person. Who would think that Aphrodite was in love with him?“I’ve had a boyfriend, one,” she started as she stared out through the window. “Just one but I had a lot of lovers, sex man. I just have men for sex, not because I love them. The first guy I dated after you went missing was the only boyfriend I had and we broke up a year later. Since then, I have been clubbing and you kn
Two of Grey's men started forward but Grey raised a hand to stop them."What's happening here?" Aphrodite asked, confused. The salesperson recognized Aphrodite quickly. "Ma'am. Is there anything you would like to get?"David was surprised and didn't even know what to say about Aphrodite with Grey. He suddenly bit back all the words on the tip of his mouth.Well, Aphrodite was a very important person in society, and crossing with her would feel like crossing with Hercules. Though, he knew that Grey must have done something to her for them to be so close."He wants the salesperson to send me out of the store," Grey revealed."What? Does he know that this store belongs to Hercules?" Aphrodite was a bit disappointed as she looked at the salesperson. "You were going to tell him to leave?"The salesperson shook her head briefly. "I'm so sorry ma'am.""No, you shouldn't be apologising to me. You should be apologising to him," she snarled and looked at David. "And you_.""Send him out," Grey
