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
Grey got himself some of the stuff that he needed at home. Though Aphrodite had decided to join him and I helped him shop for toiletries and other things he might need, Grey couldn't wait. So, he decided to drive on his own to any supermarket close by.That aside, he had a meeting to attend that morning and he didn't want to get there late. The billionaire club was having its meeting that morning and as the president, he was supposed to be very punctual. Though, there was something else he wanted to do at the meeting.He was going to show Giovanni that he was still the boss. He hurried home and got dressed in an arm and suit. Aphrodite already had some men stationed at his house. Jimmy has also moved to his house because he was his new PA. Grey thought about it severally before he made the decision. He wanted to have Richard but realised that Don was closer to him. Richard has been his PA for a long time and it would be weird now if he took him away. So, he rather settled with Jimmy
Grey huffed. “Are you trying to say that you all know about all these?” he demanded in a cold tone.Martin grunted but didn't say anything.“It's not a crime to tell everyone to remember the rules of the group. Don't blame them for doing so. If you don't want to be checked out, then you can just do us a favour by coming down from the position that you hold,” Giovanni expressed.“Yes, exactly godfather. I think it's left for Hercules to decide,” Martin muttered.“No, godfather. It's not supposed to be. Hercules doesn't like to show people what he looks like,” Gregory protested.Jamal went query for a moment as different thoughts went through his mind. “You keep saying you don't know what Hercules looks like.”“Well, we don't know, Mr. Jamal. What if the members of the billionaire club from another country ask us about him? Are we supposed to tell them he wears a mask? It doesn't even make any sense,” Philip said.“That aside,” Dave started suddenly, his gaze on Giovanni. “it would be e
“You will give the club ten million dollars?” Jamal demanded in shock. Grey nodded briefly. “Yes but Giovanni will have to be suspended like I’ve said. If he will come back to this group, then it must be with my permission,” he expressed. The members looked at themselves slowly, they didn’t know what to do at that moment. Gregory got up. “You heard what the president said. Now, it’s time to decide.” Alfred nodded briefly. “Giovanni Is going to get suspended as the president has said.” Grey nodded briefly. “Now that you’ve seen my face, decide who you want to follow.” “Giovanni can’t leave this club. That’s not posible!” Martin protested. “Yes, he can’t!” Some of the members chorused. “Well, he can and he will. Giovanni and his son has done something so shameful. They are currently the talk of the town. I don’t think he should be seen associating with the billionaire club for now or he would tarnish our image,” Jamal voiced out. “You can’t use that against me, Jamal. My son com
Grey sat up, confused for a moment. "Smith Robinson?""Yes, Grey, and I'm aware that Hercules is the owner of this place but what I still don't understand is why you had to lie."Grey sighed. "What are you calling me for? What do you_."Grey was cut off abruptly by Smith."I'm coming for you, Grey. It's my time for revenge. You just wait for me," he finished and hung up.Alfred glanced at him. "Who's that?""Smith Robinson. "Alfred raised skeptical brows at him. "Smith Robinson, the brother of Avery Robinson, your ex-wife?"Grey nodded briefly. "He called to inform me that he's back in town for me."Alfred laughed. "Seriously? That boy is so funny. He wants revenge when you are busy dealing with someone much older than him."Grey joined in the laughter. "That's actually a funny illustration.""Where should I drop you at?"Grey reasoned for a moment. "At my house. I would like a long hot bath."Alfred laughed again. "So, we are having the group meeting in one week?"Grey nodded briefl
"I don't know, Alfred. I hope that won't be the case here but let's see how it goes then. That will determine how it would all go," Grey said truthfully. Alfred sighed. "I understand. I will give you a call later then," he finished and the phone went off. Grey regarded the phone for a moment. What if_ just what if she really had aborted it? Grey didn't want to think about it but he couldn't stop himself from going back to the question and trying to find answers to his questions. The sudden knock on the door jerked him out of his thoughts. He looked back, remembering that Aphrodite was at home. "Come down quickly, Grey. The food is ready. You should come down before it gets cold," she advised. Grey nodded once. "I will be there soon," he affirmed and hurried to have a quick bath. It didn't take long before he was done. Clad in black trousers and a brown t-shirt, he grabbed his phone and walked downstairs. Aphrodite was eating when he joined her. "You couldn't even wait for me."
Grey went into a shocking state for a moment as if he didn’t even hear what Maria said at first or maybe his ears were playing tricks on him. Maria must have definitely said a different thing. It was because he missed Caramel and the fact that he just received news of her disappearance. “What did you just say, Maria?” “A lady is here to see you. In fact, she has been here for a while and has refused to leave until you come back. She told me that she’s Caramel. Yet, I didn’t want her to stay until she told me to call Hercules,” she hesitated. “I knew only a few knew you as one. So, I agreed she must know you. That’s why I’m calling. In fact, she’s in your office,” she explained. Well, it was right as Maria doesn’t know Caramel as his girlfriend. So, there was no way she would guess that they have a connection to each other. “Are you sure it’s really Caramel?” Grey asked, to be sure. “Yes, that’s what she told me and I think she’s telling the truth. Though, she’s really looking so
“Why do you think so?” Grey demanded. Alfred went quiet for a moment. “You know what, I will give you feedback when I get all my facts together. Don’t worry about it,” he assured. Grey nodded once. “Alright. I will talk to you later then.” He finished and hung up. A soft knock sounded on the door. “Hello, boss. This is Maria.” Grey nodded once. “Come inside.” Maria opened the door and walked inside. “I came to submit these files,” she said and placed the files on the table in front of her. “And to also give you feedback concerning David. But-,” she hesitated. “Is everything alright?” Grey released a sigh. “I lost someone that’s like my mother.” “What!” Maria exclaimed softly. “I’m so sorry. Will you take the day off? I mean you shouldn’t even be in this place at this time of the day.” Grey thought for a moment. “I think you are right. I will take the day off,” he took his phone and looked up at Maria. “Let’s talk later, especially about David,” he told her. Maria nodded slight
