“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
One of the members groaned. “I don’t think this is something we need to plan without our godfather. I mean isn’t that why we made him one?”“Yes, I think Martin is right. I don’t support this at all. We shouldn’t even be plotting against our president behind his back! It’s uncalled for!” Philip barked.Giovanni looked at Philip. “It’s not plotting, it’s planning. We are only discussing this here. And I just said I’m not here for that. I’m only bringing something to your notice.” He argued.Martin huffed. “We are not blind or dead. We all know that Hercules is your opponent. You guys are always fighting over something.”Giovanni felt a stab of annoyance at his word. “And so?”“See, I think we should just discuss why we are here and get out of here. This isn’t the time to exchange such a word,” Dave suggested.Giovanni nodded briefly. He has always loved Dave anyways and he had always supported him. And he was sure that he would do the same that night.“So, the real matter here is that
“So when we found you was when Giovanni discovered you were still alive?”Leo nodded briefly. “Exactly. I had to fake my death forever actually. So, I didn’t expect you would recognize me. That was why I pretended to be suffering from temporary memory loss,” he explained.Grey nodded once. “Alright. So, what do you want to do now? You’ve betrayed us a lot.”Leo released a sigh as if thinking about Grey’s question. He may want to be with Hercules and his other friends forever but he knew that he lost the opportunity already and he didn’t expect to get it back.“I know, that was why I said I won’t tell you to take me back. I will just find a place to go. Italy or anywhere,” he stressed.“I have a question too,” Charles said suddenly and sniffed inside. “How did you escape the fire that day because I clearly made sure you were inside before I set the house on fire,” He asked softly as if he was scared of people hearing his voice.Leo looked over at him, regarding him for a moment. “I had
Grey doubted if Aphrodite even knew it was him in the room. And that reminded him of the fact that the other man might actually show up if he leaves.He was smiling sheepishly the other time that Grey actualy felt like punching the living day out of him.He turned to look at Aphrodite and realized she was looking up at him.“Are you alright? Do you see me clearly?”Aphrodite blinked once, then twice. “You should leave, I’m expecting someone.”Grey chuckled strangely. “That one I saw you kissing in the bar? You must be kidding. If you must have a guy, he shouldn’t be him. It should be someone very good than I am. Look at him, he’s not even handsome and he doesn’t have a nice height or nice skin,” he complained.Aphrodite sighed. “There’s no way he would be as good as you. You are the Hercules after all,” she mumbled and closed her eyes. Grey didn’t know why he was doing so much to stop the union between the two. Well, he was just concerned about her safety, nothing else.“Besides, he’
The next morning, the three were already determined to have fun, nothing but fun. Grey would be returning to Jacksonville for more battles with the opposition.Aphrodite was already setting up the picnic at a location in the castle lavender farm. Grey couldn’t stop thinking about what Charles told him the night before. Just looking at Aphrodite brought back the memories.“Let’s just have fun today,” Charles said suddenly and looked at him. “Leave the rest. I mean that’s why we are here, isn’t it?”Grey smiled and nodded briefly. They both walked closer to Aphrodite.“You guys are here in time,” Aphrodite smiled. “I’m done with everything,” she announced happily.Grey and Charles took their seats. “You don’t really have to do this. We could have sent someone to do it.”Aphrodite smiled. “This isn’t Jacksonville. And we are here on a low profile. We shouldn’t be doing that. I’m alright like this.”“So, what are we doing for today?” Grey asked as he took a cup of juice and sipped it.“
