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
“Boss! Please, don’t fire me. I’m so sorry sir. It would never happen again,” he pleaded but the line already went off before he could finish talking. Grey scoffed and stretched the phone out to the police. The police took it from Grey. “Please, help me beg the boss. Don’t let him fire me.” “You had better get your men out of this place or you will face more consequences,” he threatened and looked at the man that has been standing beside him for a while. “ Please, offload the furniture,” he said casually and walked past Seth and Smith and into the company. Seth and Smith moved closer to the man. By now, the men from the furniture company were already taking down the chairs and tables, ignoring them. “What is happening? Why are you withdrawing?” The man sighed, frustrated and sad. “See, I have no time for this. My job is on the line.” The police rushed inside behind Grey and communicated with the other police until they were all out of the vicinity. Seth and Smith were shocked a
Smith and Seth got back to the company and we're patiently waiting for Maria."Actually, before Maria shows up, I think we should discuss an important thing," Smith started suddenly.Seth looked at him. "Is everything alright?"Smith nodded briefly. "But I just thought there are things that are supposed to be in place and I think are very essential to the order we are aiming at."Seth sat up. "Tell me. As long as it involves the order, I will do anything," he assured.Smith nodded once. "I think you need to restock with a lot of brands over here. If we are going to show Maria and Protos Pubblicita that we can take care of the order, then we should have restocked. So, it won't be like we were only waiting on the order."Seth thought about it for a moment. "It's a nice idea but I've got nothing on me at the moment. I've spent all my money in this place especially after I discovered the order. But now that you are talking about it, I think you are making a lot of sense," he affirmed. "Bu
