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
Grey had difficulties taking in what was really happening and he was forced to swallow the wine even though he knew what it was all about. "Novia, what are you doing?" Grey muttered. Aphrodite smiled. "Don't get up Grey if you don't want them to see your face. They are all in anticipation of what you look like," she glanced around. "Do you want more wine?" Maybe Aphrodite wouldn't do anything if she hadn't confessed her feelings. Or maybe she wouldn't have talked if Grey hadn't asked. It was all Grey's fault. "I'm fine, just give back my mask." Aphrodite chuckled, unwilling to release it. "It's an order, Novia, from Hercules!" He muttered thickly. Aphrodite's expression changed slightly and she reluctantly covered him. She took the wine and left. Grey got up and stared behind her for a moment. He looked away and caught some ladies blushing. They were very much expecting Grey to follow Aphrodite or maybe they thought that was going to happen. If only they know. Grey let out a
Linda shook her head briefly, as fear engulfed her. "No, I don't think that's necessary. I know that you are Hercules and that's enough. Thank you so much, I really appreciate it but I would rather get off now."She heard a lot about Hercules already anyways. And the fact that no one has seen his face. She wondered what would happen to whoever sees his real face and Linda wasn't ready to experience it. She loved her life too much to risk it.Grey huffed. "To 5star immediately," he ordered."Yes boss," the driver responded.Linda shivered until the door opened suddenly. She didn't know what she was supposed to do or what Hercules wanted with her. But she decided to obey orders because she also knew that people like Hercules would easily be angered if someone ignored them.So, she complied and was led to the room specifically made for Hercules.Fear gripped her when she saw the tag that she couldn't bring herself to sit when she got inside.The door opened almost immediately and Linda j
When Grey walked downstairs, Aphrodite was waiting for him while sipping her wine slowly.“I thought you left.”“Why would I when we are supposed to meet with Mattee tonight?”Grey smiled softly and walked closer to her. He took the wine from her and gulped the remaining content. “Let’s go then.” He dropped the cup on the table and stretched out towards Aphrodite.Aphrodite took his hand and they both walked out of the room. The two doors of the car were held open for them.“Drive to Alfred’s house,” Grey ordered and the men got into action.“So, are we going to run minds and think of a better way to punish Pablo?” Aphrodite questioned suddenly as she looked at Grey.Grey looked at her and shook his head briefly. “We are not going to punish Pablo. He dies immediately. It’s Giovanni and Alex that I’m dealing with. That aside, Pablo would be alone in this situation considering what had just befallen Giovanni. If they were still together, it might have been very difficult because Giovann
“I will be expecting good news, Grey,” Pablo muttered with a slight smile on his lips before he walked out of the room. Gregory turned towards Grey. “What is your plan?” “We will need to go to the club tonight and destroy the brake. Pablo will definitely have an accident when the brake fails. It will be perfect but we must not let Giovanni's men or Pablo suspect us,” he paused slightly. “I will just call Jimmy and Richard. They will be able to help. The men would recognize every one of you. So, I think you should stay behind.” “I’m coming with you,” Gregory said suddenly. “I could pack elsewhere or far away. You know, it’s safety in numbers.” “Yes, I agree with Gregory,” Jayden responded. Grey nodded once and darted at his watch. “I need a lady and I have one waiting for me at home. I will pick her up and call you about where you should meet me. Just get Richard and Jimmy ready at the location,” he muttered thickly. Gregory nodded once. “Let’s do that,” and with that, he stood up
