Avery opened the door."What are you doing Avery!" Grey asked suddenly as Avery got down from the car.Avery turned to look at him. "Chris asked me out on a date. That's where I'm off to. "Grey felt a slight stab of annoyance. " We are married, Avery," he reminded quickly. "You are not supposed to go out with any man. You are mine already," he muttered thickly.Avery laughed. " Are you kidding me? You didn't pay my dowry. You didn't marry me, Grey. I married you. "" Heck, " Grey cursed. " It doesn't matter. We are now a couple. You are not supposed to look at any other man, " he stressed. He may not love Avery but he feels like he owns her. They were married for crying out loud. While Grey was trying to protect that, Avery was behaving as she liked.Grey had not slept with any girls ever since he got married to Avery even though Avery didn't let him touch her. He had been forcing himself to look away because he was married. Was he the only one liable in the marriage?"See, Grey," sh
Avery however was with Chris in a popular bar in the city. She doesn't like Chris but had to go out on a date with him because of her mother. She lied to Grey because she was angry at him. Grey was not the kind of man she wanted and she wasn't even ready to get married but Grey forced her to. She had thought he was doing great at least until she heard that Alfred had fired him. And that got her so angry at him. She was his? They might be married but Avery would never be his wife. She was looking for the right opportunity to get her grandfather to approve the divorce. Avery sipped the drink slowly and suddenly felt like going back to the comfort of her home. She felt tired and Chris's words were boring her already. "I spoke with your mother, Avery and she would like us to date," he announced and looked up at her. Avery regarded him for a moment. " I'm married, remember," she stressed. Chris chuckled, "I'm aware, alright and your mother is as well but we all know who Grey is. He's
Ice melts in fire and perspiration dries in the breeze but Grey's promise didn't even melt Avery's heart.She turned to look at her, with a smirk at the tip of her mouth. "Seriously? How will you buy me one? Will you steal?""Come on, Avery. Be serious! I'm not as incompetent as you think I am," he muttered.Avery laughed. It felt good to laugh after such a stressful day. "You are a very funny guy, Grey. And yes! I think you are very incompetent. You should sit and watch me. I will get my father to approve the divorce," she said with determination.Grey regarded her for a moment and took a step closer. "You are missing something here, Avery. You can't get out of this marriage unless I want to."" We will get divorced soon, I assure you," she finished and turned around to leave. She stopped almost immediately. "You won't stay in this room tonight. You can stay with the maids for all I care," she walked inside the bedroom and shut the door.Grey let out a sigh. For once, he wished Charl
Grey scoffed and relaxed. He doesn't believe it. A bar in the office?"Hey! Who are you? And how did you get here?" A deep voice spoke behind him.Grey whirled around to look at the guy that was having sex with a lady when he first walked in. He couldn't see the lady now."Please, who are you?" Grey asked, politely.The man smirked. "Are you for real? Are you asking me that kind of question?"" Yes," Grey nodded and pulled off an innocent expression. "Because I don't know who you are. And why is there a bar in the company or is this company changing names?" He teased softly.A man moved closer and pulled Grey by his collar. " You don't dare speak to Marvin like that!" He snarled."The head of secretaries is Marvin?" Grey asked, disturbed.A rumble of laughter came from the background and spread like wildfire among the others. The man holding Grey released him and laughed as well."Don't tell me he's a new worker?" A lady laughed.Grey raised skeptical brows. " Why is everyone asking m
Grey couldn't stop laughing. He knew something was off the moment he stepped inside the lobby. He took the water from the woman and took a sip. "I'm going to leave this place because I have somewhere else to be but," Grey whirled around to look at Marvin that was already up with the help of others. "Who are you really?" There was a shocked expression on his face as he watched Grey curiously. Grey smiled slyly. "Your worst nightmare. Anyways, you and the rest would clean this whole place up now. I need to get to the head of the secretaries office," he explained. The men groaned in complaint. Grey's gaze searched around him. " You don't want to clean?" "We will," Marvin replied quickly. "Is there anything else you want?' " Everything that happened in this room remains in this room. And you are not allowed to tell anyone. Just let them know you've dealt with me as well," his smile widened. " Like you do with others. Do you get it?" Marvin nodded quickly. "We will do just that." "
Grey had been going through the reports and files for over hours. He realized that the figures were messed up.There was nothing in the company account and few stocks of surveillance cameras were left. The materials were also little in quantity. It was only for a few more weeks before the SU world would crash.Grey made a call to the accountant's office. "Hello, see me in the office right away?" He ordered and hung up without waiting for a response.A soft knock sounded on the door almost immediately.Grey sat up. "Yes, come in."Maria walked inside. "Hi, boss. It's closing time. I'm leaving but I decided to see you before I do so. Have you concluded?"Before Grey could say something, another knock sounded on the door. John stepped inside the room in a tailored suit. He was almost like Grey except for his stubbles and the fact that Grey was the tallest."You wanted to see me?"Grey nodded briefly and picked a file. He stretched it out to him. " Goods of 5 million dollars were used but
"Sir, this man is Grey and the most useless man in life. He used to work as a delivery man and he was worth nothing," Seth explained. Luciano groaned, apparently not pleased with his explanation. He was still looking at Grey, though with curious eyes that Grey wasn't familiar with. "Did you say your name is Grey Fox?" He repeated. Grey nodded briefly. " I'm supposed to meet someone here and she's on her way here," he tried his best to be polite. " Mr. Luciano," Seth interrupted before Luciano would say anything else. "You shouldn't be speaking with someone like this. He's not worth your struggles. The security men can explain what he did anyways." Luciano turned to look at Seth. " Sorry, who are you?" There were raised brows at him. Seth smiled. "I'm Seth. I just rented the whole space for the cinema and_." "You can't do that. Someone else already rented it," Luciano cut in quickly. Seth's expression was a vivid description of horror as he watched Luciano. "I'm willing to pay t
"I'm sorry, Grey. I'm really sorry. It was all my fault," Luciano expressed deeply. Grey turned away quickly, as he bravely wiped off the tears that had suddenly seeped from his lashes. He didn't know those times. He didn't know the reason why his father was so harsh on him was because of the mafia group he spearheaded. Yet, Grey never hated his father and it hurts him so much to realize he was gone forever. "I've looked everywhere for you, Grey. I've really gone through a lot of trouble to locate you. I thought you died when the car exploded," he explained. Grey took a deep breath to calm his nerves. Then, he slowly turned to look at Luciano. "You should get up," he told him. Luciano looked up at Grey. "I can never atone for my sin," he expressed bitterly. Grey sighed and moved closer to pull him up. "You shouldn't knee to me. You used to be my uncle and well, you still are," he admitted. Luciano shook his head slightly. " I must bow to you now, Grey. You are Hercules. I just sw
