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
When Grey walked inside the living room, Emily sat on the chair, watching the tv to prevent her from falling asleep.She got up when he entered. "Welcome back."Grey nodded briefly. "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for so long. What did you say brought you here?" He demanded as he moved to sit in front of her.Emily sat and stared down at the tiled floor. "My mom told me who you really are," she looked up at him." Thank you so much for saving my mother."Grey nodded briefly. "She already expresses her gratitude. You don't need to bother about it.""Well," she hesitated. "I'm here to pledge loyalty to you, Hercules. I want to serve you. I want to be someone that works for you," she expressed.Grey regarded her for a moment. "Why?""I just kind of discovered that this world is full of struggles but it's good to have powerful men like you. Since I've already been working for you and know how nice you are, I felt It should be you. It's from the depth of my heart," she explained."Is tha
When Richard and Jimmy got back, Emily was already dressed in the clothes that Grey gave to her. "So, I get the assignment," Emily smiled and walked out, with the keys. She walked to the bar stand and looked back at the men standing behind Pablo. She kept looking at every one of them so she could make eye contact with any one of them. "Get me something not too hot," Emily told the barman. The barman started making her order. Emily looked back again, just in time for her gaze to meet with one of the men suddenly. Their gaze held for a moment. She smiled and signalled him closer. The man's gaze searched around him for a moment and realised that Emily was actually talking to him. So, he moved closer to Emily. "Hi, you just called me?" Emily nodded briefly. “He told me to give this to you,” she stretched out the car keys. “He saw a girl and couldn’t wait to have her. He said he would call you.” The man smiled even charmingly at Emily as he took the keys. Emily flashed him anot
It was afternoon when Aphrodite's call came through. Grey was sorting out some documents. Grey glanced at the phone and looked at Maria. “You can leave. And,” he said quickly as Maria turned to leave. Maria looked at him. “Is something wrong?” “Check on David. I have a feeling he’s going to lose his job soon,” he expressed with sarcasm in his voice. Mark bit back a big smile. “Do you want to prevent it or what?” “If he can keep it, then it’s fine. If not, I would love to go out to hand over his sack letter.” Maria nodded once and walked out. She hesitated behind the door and laughed. Grey was funny. Grey picked up Aphrodite’s call. “Yes dear, what have you been doing since morning? You wouldn’t even pick up my call.” “I actually have something for you,” she hinted with excitement in her voice. “I’m in the Protos Pubblicita garage. Come over here, there’s somewhere we need to be,” she informed him. Grey gathered his brows. “Where? Is something wrong?” Aphrodite laughed. “You
