Seth turned around quickly to call the man that had handed him the phone but he was suddenly gone. He couldn't decide if he had entered the elevator or if he was just lost among the people in the lobby. His hand gripped the phone even harder. What was happening? He couldn't think at first, his mind was all foggy. Could Grey have set him up like he did the year before he left Jacksonville? "Seth!" Smith yelled at him. Seth jerked out and looked up at one of the security guards. "You have to leave now," the security guard reminded them in a strong tone. Seth released a sigh and nodded briefly before he walked out of the lobby without another word to Smith. He didn't stop until he was out of Protos Pubblicita. He turned to look at Smith with anger showing all over his face. "This was all your fault!" He yelled in anger. Smith gave him a confused look. "What do you mean? What are you talking about?" Seth stretched the phone out. "Don't fucking ask me! Don't you dare ask me that
Grey's phone rang suddenly as Jimmy drove out of the house. He was done with Seth already. So, all he had to do was go to work normally. But he had already promised Beatrice to come over to her that day. He would see her and then go to work. Though he’s yet to know if he should go to Protos Pubblicita or Diamond base but he would decide later after speaking with Beatrice. The car pulled off in the garage. Grey got out of the car without a word to Jimmy and moved inside the hospital. It didn’t take long before he was inside the room. He hesitated as he watched Caramel and Beatrice together. Beatrice laughed and took the drugs. Caramel handed her a glass of water and she swallowed the drugs. She hesitated as if suddenly noticing that someone was at the door. She looked up at Grey and a smile escaped her lips. Grey reciprocated the smile and moved closer. Caramel regarded him with a side view before she gently placed the cup of water on the table and stood. “Good morning,” she whisp
The countdown continues. It was currently at 6 minutes when the car slowed down in front of 'Grab your coffee'. Grey gaze searched around after Jimmy had blinked the light twice but there was no sign of Emily. "Emily is kidding me," he groaned softly. He wasn't angry but he was slowly seeping into frustration. If Emily was keeping the great Hercules waiting, then she would get punished for it. His phone made a sudden beep and a message popped up on his phone. It was from Emily and it read, "Please, come inside. One of the men won't let me leave." Grey looked up, at the glass display as if to catch a glimpse of Emily. She was in danger and he had to help her. The time was currently 3 minutes. Grey looked at Jimmy. "I'm entering the shop," he announced and opened the door. Just as Grey got out, Jimmy also hurried out as well. "Should I come as well?" Grey shook his head briefly. "You don't have to worry. I can handle it." Jimmy nodded and watched Grey for a moment before he move
Emily pulled up in front of the hospital and looked at Grey. "Please, stay in the car while I check this up," she informed him. Grey nodded once. Emily was right anyways and it wasn't as if he couldn't think it right, he was just worried for Jimmy. Nothing must happen to Jimmy. Emily released a sigh before she closed the door and hurried inside the hospital. Actually, Emily set the men up. She wanted someone to try to hurt her so that Grey could act like her charming in shining armour. She only wanted to stay close to him anyways and be able to fuck him like she wanted. She had the perfect plan in her head. But could she say it was because of her plan that Grey actually lived? And her? If she had gotten out and entered the car, she and Grey would have blown up in the car. She shivered at the thought of it but the realisation still lingered on. She saved both of them and Grey deserved to be grateful, maybe even make her stay close to him. She would finally be able to fulfil her he
"Caramel," Beatrice called softly. Caramel turned to look at her. "What? Are you going to scold me again?" Caramel sighed. "I sincerely don't like the way you treated Grey. You shouldn't have aborted his baby in the first place." Caramel rolled her eyes and stretched out the cup to her. "I don't regret what I did actually. If I was given the chance to make a decision again on that matter, it would still be the same thing." Beatrice regarded her for a moment before she took the cup and drank the tea in it. "What are you going to do now?" Caramel sighed and sat. "I'm thinking of leaving the city and as usual, you are coming with me." Beatrice held her gaze. "And you think we will be saved if we run away?" "We are not running," Caramel stressed. "I'm just moving far away from Grey. It's better for both of us. Jacksonville reminds me so much of him and I have to get it out of my way, I need to live my life." "Grey could have protected you. He would have protected us." "And have ou
Grey couldn't stop feeling regret, it ate him deep. He could have avoided the tragedy. He could have stopped Jimmy from dying. If only he had allowed him to follow him.But he would have been dead if Emily hadn't called him. He was just a minute away from death. The thoughts crumbled in him in some sort of crazy confusion.The door opened suddenly and Emily entered the car through the driver's side. She let out a sigh. They have been in the car for ages now. Grey wanted to be alone so Emily went away. But the reason why she was suddenly back was because she had something to tell him."Here," she stretched the magazine to him. "I saw this and I had to return quickly to show you." she explained shortly.Grey took the paper slowly. At first, he didn't see what she was trying to say but when he adjusted his eyes, he saw his picture on the right-hand side and with a headline underneath it.His eyes went wide with shock. "What!""Everyone thinks you are dead, boss," Emily muttered.Grey coul
He stopped in front of him, a few feets to hitting him. "What did you just say?" His voice was deep and laced with anger. Emily walked inside when she saw how bad things were getting. She could get killed in the midst of it. "When you showed up suddenly, I initially thought you couldn't handle the mafia work but you proved to me that you could. And now? What are you trying to say? That you are tired of being a mafia boss?" Gregory released with a grunt. Grey's fists were clenched beside him and a dark frown was on his face. "What do you think I should do then? I should watch my men die without a feeling? I'm not supposed to be in pain?" Alfred stepped forward. "Gregory!" He called in a strained voice. "Don't speak to Hercules in such a manner." Gregory looked at Alfred. "How else am I supposed to talk to him? We are his elders and he should listen to us as well. Does he want to end up like his father? Does he?" "Gregory," Aphrodite called softly. "Alfred just lost someone, you sh
Seth grunted several times as he thought about the days leading to his first escape from Jacksonville the first time. He had stood up against Grey then when it all happened and now it was happening again. If Grey wasn't Hercules, could he be close to him? Seth had questions but the answers eluded him. How could he even lose to Grey? Well, it was his fault. He was the one that took Smith in. If he hadn't, the nightmare wouldn't have happened. His phone rang suddenly, disrupting his thoughts. He jerked backward as a headache suddenly set in. He dragged his feet towards the phone and glanced at the screen. It was Smith. A grunt escaped him as he turned away, anger still burning in him. He would never be able to forgive Smith for making him lose so much. Seth hasn't stepped out of his house since he received the message that informed him that the police were already looking for him. He hadn't even thought of what to do. He needed to think of the loan he had taken, he needed to pay
