Grey was shocked for a moment, coupled with confusion. He glanced back at Caramel. She was eating slowly, a bit unusual. Also, Grey noticed that she had been acting a bit weird but he simply thought it was because she just arrived or what she had faced in Seattle. “You think so?” Grey demanded. “I don't think so, I know so. My men are still looking anyway and I would always give you feedback. But I just called you to tell you this. Be very careful with her,” he repeated. Grey sighed, remembering that it was the same thing that Aphrodite actually said. “Did you tell Aphrodite anything about Caramel?” “Well, she was with me when my men were giving me feedback. So, she heard everything,” Alfred revealed. Grey let out a sigh again. “Alright, take care. We will talk later,” he finished and hung up. Grey sighed again, unable to decide on something at that moment. He felt stuffed. He was supposed to be happy that Caramel was back, why was he feeling somehow again? Well, he had to be c
Grey stared for a moment unbelievably. “Hello boss,” Emily called suddenly and Grey jerked out of his thoughts. “Yes, Emily. Is everything alright?” “I was asking if I could come over to your place-,” she demanded. Grey didn’t wait for her to finish what she was saying when he shook his head briefly. “It’s ok. You can do that. I will definitely call you later,” he informed her. Grey hung up and hurried towards the dog. At first, he thought he was asleep but when he looked and checked closely, he realised he was dead. And then, there was an empty plate beside it which meant that it was just done eating the food that he got for it. He squeezed his forehead in concentration. What was happening? Something was really going on. Could the dog have died of food poison? Something was still not going well and Grey found it difficult to think it through. If the dog had died after taking the food, then it meant that it was poisoned. If it was, then who did? Caramel of course? And then, he
"But why would Caramel want to kill you?" Alfred was still shocked. "I thought she used to protect you. I mean she used to love you and would do anything to make sure you are alright?" Grey nodded once. "Yes, she used to be like that. And like you've said, something must have happened. There's no way Caramel would want to kill me," he let out a sigh. "I'm starving. Is there something in your kitchen?" Alfred smiled. "I will just tell Ann to make something for you. What would you like to eat?" "Anything, Alfred. Emily will be here soon. I need her in this plan." he informed him. Alfred nodded once and walked inside. Grey relaxed, his head was calculating quickly. He wondered what Caramel was doing at that moment or what she was currently thinking. He loved her so much and didn't think he would be able to hurt her even if all she wanted was exactly that. The door opened suddenly and Emily walked inside. "Boss." Grey let out a smile. "Glad you are here, I need to explain what the
“W-what!” Caramel yelled suddenly that Alfred had to pull the phone backward a bit so she wouldn’t damage his ear drum. “H-how did it happen?” Her voice shook with a slight tremor to it. Though, Alfred didn’t want to reason it that much. Even though she sounded so unhappy, he still thought that she had something up her sleeve and wasn’t sincere. “I’m yet to know. I’ve called all the elders and we will notify them. But for now, no one should know about it and he’s still in the hospital,” he made his voice fade intentionally. “I don’t know what to do yet but I will let you know eventually,” he assured. Caramel sobbed. “I saw him a few minutes ago. Why would he be dead? You guys should do his autopsy,” she sobbed softly. “Maybe but that’s left for the elders to decide on. Bye for now and take care of yourself.” Alfred hung up and released a sigh. He was done with the plan. All they had to do was wait for the result. He walked back inside. Caramel was starting to get anxious. She sat
Caramel nodded briefly. “Alright, and who are you?” Emily smiled softly. “You don’t actually need that. I will just take my leave now since Grey isn’t even here. And I will advise you to do the same if you don’t really want Hercules' elders to find out about you,” she finished and walked out of the house. Caramel let out a sigh of relief. She actually thought it was over when she saw the person walk inside but she didn’t know she also had something against Hercules. They all do and the anger in Caramel was so big that she would kill Grey again if she had to. Her phone rang suddenly, startling her so that she jumped up in fear. She glanced at the screen and a sigh escaped her again. She picked up the call. “Hello, yes. I’m ready,” she responded and the call went off. Caramel rushed to the door and pulled it open to look at the car in front of the house. Everything was already prepared for and all she had to do was get herself out of the mess before it even swallowed her. She didn’
Emily got down from the car, still in the dress that she wore to Grey's house. She was actually the one that handpicked it. The only thing Grey did was place an order for it and it got delivered. And she still wanted to roam the town the more in it. So, she decided to get something from the supermarket. She walked into the spacious supermarket elegantly. She pulled to a sudden stop almost immediately as she walked inside the store. She started ahead of her, at her mother staring right at her in the same way that she was. Linda didn't know that Emily was back in Jacksonville and she didn't even bother to inform her. The expression on Linda’s face showed how angry she was. Just as Emily decided to turn around and walk out of the store, Linda hurried closer and pulled her out of the store forcefully. She suddenly dragged her over to her car before Emily could wrench free from her. “What are you doing here?” Emily blinked once as if she didn't understand the question. “Enter the car,
The driver adjusted on the seat and glanced at the front mirror. He hesitated as he continued to study something that Caramel didn't notice. “It looks like we are being followed,” he announced suddenly. Caramel looked up, a bit startled. “What do you mean?” “That black benz has been following us everywhere for a while now. I think we are being watched,” he concluded. Caramel looked back toward the black Benz that was a car away. Her heart made a sudden thud at what the driver had said. If the car was indeed following them, does that mean that Alfred knows about something already? No, there was no way that could have happened. The autopsy result would not get ready so quickly. So, that could only mean that Alfred was only suspecting her. Definitely, that was what was happening and that was the worst. Though, without an autopsy, it would be easy to know that Caramel had done something wrong somewhere. She was running away. That aside, she didn’t know if the lady from the other time
"What did you just say?" It felt as though Aphrodite didn't hear correctly. There was no way Caramel would be saying that when she actually knew how much Grey loved her. "I just said he never did. If he did, he wouldn't have killed my mother!" She yelled out in frustration. "Is that what you call love?" Aphrodite was struck with shock over and over again. What was really happening? Grey was standing in the garage when Aphrodite's car drove inside. His emotions were mixed. He felt very annoyed at Caramel but at the same time, he felt very sad. Would Caramel really plan to kill him? She might not like the fact that he was Hercules and yes, she had been pulling away after she discovered the truth. But would she really conspire against the enemy to kill him? No, somehow, he didn't believe it. He needed to hear from the horse's mouth. Alfred was standing beside him as the door of the car opened and Caramel walked out with an unknown man. Aphrodite followed behind them. Grey marvelled
