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.“
The security man started towards the radio room. The room wasn't always locked. Though, the security guard was always watching to see that no one entered.Just as Grey entered the room, he turned to look at the man. “Can I go ahead?”The man shook his head briefly. “I will go ahead with all other things.” he bent to fix the wires and cables that would be linked to the hall. “Don't switch this place on because it's for the other halls. I've switched it on for your hall. So, you can get ahead with what you want to do, and don't keep your bride waiting for so long,” he informed and stepped aside.Grey hit him on the neck quickly. The security man slumped on the floor but Grey knew that he was dead. He wouldn't die but would be deep asleep.Grey switched on the other cables too. He brought out his phone and started to play the recording, knowing fully well that others would already be listening to it.He smiled and waited until the end of the conversation before he took his phone and walk
Grey's muscle contract at the news. “What!” was the only thing he could say.“I'm as shocked as you are, Grey but what if this baby is yours?”“What are you saying? It's mine!” he admitted in a thick voice. “Are you at home?”“Yes, I am.”“Alright, I'm coming over,” he finished and hung up. He looked at Jimmy. “Drive to Alfred's house.”“Yes boss,” Jimmy responded.Grey couldn't stop thinking. How did it even happen? And who sent the message? Also, why was Beatrice's number not rechargeable? Something must have happened somewhere.Everything looks very suspicious.Grey didn't even wait for Jimmy to help him with the door when he jumped out of the car and walked inside the living room. Alfred was waiting for him already. He moved to the dining room with his laptop and Grey joined him.“Here, check it,” Alfred gestured at the message.Grey stared at the message for a moment. “Can you send a message to the sender?”“Sure,” Alfred moved the cursor and then looked over at Grey. “What do y
