Grey rushed inside the room, his heart racing. The men they sent to Seattle have returned with Beatrice. Alfred informed them to drive her straight to the hospital where she was attended to immediately by Alfred's private doctor.Alfred and the doctor were inside the room when Grey walked inside. He hesitated as he watched the oxygen mask placed on Beatrice.“What’s going to happen to her?” He asked suddenly.Alfred and the doctor turned to look at him at once.“Well, she’s in an unstable condition but we will carry out some tests on her and let you know what is really wrong with her. These are just first aid treatments,” the doctor explained.Grey nodded once. “Do all in your power to save her. I will pay you privately and generally.”The doctor smiled so charmingly. He already knew what Grey was. “Thank you so much, Boss. I promise to put in all my best.”Grey nodded once and looked at Alfred. “I will speak with you later.”“Have you spoken to Aphrodite?” Alfred’s voice pulled Grey
Pain stabbed Grey, even harder. He couldn't believe his ears or maybe they were just playing tricks on him. It wasn't true. There was no way Caramel would abort their baby. They had a life together, didn't they? And everything was going well, even before she discovered who he really was. "Calm down, dear. You are just frustrated because of Beatrice. Beatrice would be fine, this I promise you. You don't need to get so worked up over it." Caramel blinked once and let the tears stream down her face. "I love you, Grey. I love you so much," she stressed as if she was battling with her inner voice. Grey nodded once. "I love you too, Caramel. And we can work this out." Caramel looked away for a moment as different thoughts collided in her mind in some sort of crazy confusion. "It can't work out, Grey. It can never work out. I've thought about the possibility before I aborted your baby. There's no going back now." It was when Grey snapped back to reality. "You aborted my baby? How could
Grey entered the car and hesitated. He stared into space. Maybe Caramel was right. At least, he got her into trouble the other time and it was because of him that Seth decided to use her to get him. If he wasn’t so close to her, that wouldn’t have happened. It was partially his fault.But what was he supposed to do? Being Hercules was his birthright and the only thing his father left behind. There was no fucking way he would even think of comparing both. He would never compare being Hercules with his love life.But he doesn’t know why it was affecting each other.His phone rang suddenly, jerking him out of his thoughts. It was Alfred.Grey released a sigh and picked it up. “Hello, Alfred.”“Hi Hercules, have you been able to get across to Aphrodite?”Grey let out another sigh. “No, I haven’t even had the time to. Have you? She should be at home now. Have you called one of her maids?”“Yes but she’s not at home. I’ve called her several times but she’s not picking up as well. I just ho
Seth walked inside Megaphone Attitude with a wide smile. That day was his lucky day. He was so happy about everything. He moved to his seat and signalled the barman closer. "Hello sir, what can I get you?" "Get me a champagne and_," he stopped as his gaze went over to Grey. He was shocked for a moment as he tried to look at him very well to be sure he wasn't only dizzy and that his eyes weren't playing tricks on him. "Yes, what do you want?" The barman repeated to attract his attention. Seth cleared his throat meaningfully. "Get me a bottle of champagne. I will let you know if I want more." The barman bowed slightly and walked away. Seth concentrated hard on Grey and noticed the lady in front of him. He wasn't able to see the lady's face and didn't know who she was but Grey kept on turning his face towards his direction. So, he was sure of him. That aside, he noticed some empty bottles in front of them. That meant that he had been drinking. Grey was skilled but being drunk wou
Grey stared down at the floor for a moment, as Seth's laughter rang in his ears. No matter how much he tried to get up, he was always falling back. His eyes were always seeing double. He stood still for a moment as one of the men raised the steel pipe in the air and aimed it at him. Grey closed his eyes as he decided to concentrate more on the sounds and not try to see. His vision was blurry anyways. There was no point opening it and trying to make himself feel more vulnerable. He listened carefully just as his father had taught him. He heard the movement of the leg and the way the steep pipe went through the air in an attempt to hit him. Grey rolled from the spot and kicked one of the guys close by on the leg. He got up quickly, with his eyes still closed. The men came at her at once. Grey heard them clearly as he bent so quickly, dodging one punch from behind. Because of his swift movement, the punch hit another guy by his left side. Grey jumped up and kicked at two more guys b
Grey felt a soft hand over his face. He smiled inwardly at the effect of it on his body."Aren't you going to sleep on the bed?" The soft voice reached his ears. It sounded exactly like Caramel.You know, it doesn't matter if they were fighting. He just wanted to sleep close to her till it was morning. Then, they could think of something in the morning.He was just too tired to think at that moment. He had been through a lot of stress earlier in the day anyways.And he knew he might never see her again. It was the only chance that he had. Tonight was the only time he could hold her in his arms.Even Though it felt strange, he was only going to sleep."Grey? Are you ok?" A familiar voice reached his ears.He opened his eyes and concentrated them on Aphrodite. Actually, at first, he thought it was Caramel."What are you doing here? You should be sleeping."Aphrodite smirked. "I've been sleeping for a while now. I'm not an idiot!" she stressed funnily.Grey chuckled. "You are not, Aphrod
Smith stood awake the whole night trying to find out what could have happened with Arnold. He found none and decided to continue with what he and Seth had planned to do.He arrived at Seth's company, a smile on his face. At least, he was able to find something to do before Arnold and David decided to betray him.Smith walked inside the company. He met Seth on the way out."Smith!" Seth called out happily.They both exchanged pleasantries."I didn't know you were coming back so quickly."Smith smiled. "Well, I told you I was. Where are you going now? Can we talk?"Seth nodded briefly. "That can wait, let's go inside my office to talk. We have a lot to discuss," he turned around and led Smith to his office. He was able to get a small amount of money to get a nice plaza for his new business. In fact, he was able to employ some workers for important positions and left aside other positions."Is there something I should offer you?" Seth inquired as they entered the office. He moved to his
“I will be the one to call the police because this is my company!” Grey yelled at them.Seth ignored him as he moved aside to speak with whoever he wanted.“Please sir, we need to finish up with the interview! You can’t barge in like this. It’s uncalled for!” The lady scolded.Smith looked at her with clenched teeth. “ You better watch your mouth or you will be beaten!” He yelled at her.The lady recoiled back in fear.Grey regarded Smith for a moment. “If you don’t leave at this moment, you will regret it,” he warned.“Or what?” Smith had a smirk on his face as he watched Grey. “There’s absolutely nothing you can do. How were you even able to find this place? I bet you took loans from the bank so that you would be able to get the order but I’m sorry to shut your illusion, this order is ours!” He stated strongly and with so much determination before he moved to join Seth.The lady turned to Grey. “What do we do about it, boss?”Grey regarded the lady for a moment. “Who are you by the
