Seth and Smith met each other at the office. They were very excited that things were going fine. With Grey gone, things would go even better. “Yesterday night was fun. The girls were amazing!” Smith laughed. Seth joined in. “ I told you. I told you it was going to be a lot of fun! Come, hurry up! We need to get the order and all our dreams will come through,” he jubilated. Smith smiled. “I can’t wait. We have to hurry up. Maria might have a lot of appointments today. Though it doesn’t matter how long it takes, our order will be waiting for us whenever we are given the chance to come forward,” he explained. “But I think we should do this now. I can’t wait to get my hands on it,” they both walked into the car. Smith took the driver’s side and soon, they were on the way to Protos Pubblicita. Smith was so happy and would have mocked David and the rest if they were in Jacksonville at that moment. They had all refused to help him, yet Grey eventually died. Though, he couldn’t stop think
“Yes! I think that should be fine. Gregory should go to Italy,” Luciano supported Gregory. Grey released a sigh. “I don’t want Gregory to go in my stead because I have a main plan,” he announced. Alfred looked at him. “What is your plan?” Grey sat well, “I want to leave Jacksonville for a while. Giovanni can think all he wants but it would only be for a while,” he revealed. Charles gathered his brows. “What?” Grey nodded once. “ Yes, I’m leaving Jacksonville but just for a while. Come to think of it,” he looked at Alfred. “I still want to grieve and get even more prepared to defeat Giovanni. Along the way, I would be able to help James and also take care of the company,” he explained. “But leaving Jacksonville. Is that supposed to be the solution? Is it the right one?” Luciano questioned. “It is,” Grey responded Aphrodite squeezed her brow together. "I don't understand. You will be living two lives? A dead man in Jacksonville, and a living man in Italy? Does that even make any
Grey stood far away and looked over at the people dressed in black as they performed the burial rite. Clad in black trousers and a black hoodie to cover his face, he was sure that no one would recognize him as Grey. There were many people there, as Alfred gave Grey the idea of having the fake Grey’s burial be at the same time as Jimmy's. And it was a bit disappointing that the members of the billionaire club were not in attendance. What if he was dead for real? Was that how they were going to turn against him immediately? Though right, they weren’t supposed to show up because he died as Grey but they could find a way to turn up. They would find a way if it was something else but not for Grey. Well, he didn’t expect them to be faithful. They weren’t his family after all. The people started to leave one after the other but Grey stayed and continued to look at the procession. Everyone left except for Jimmy’s wife. She clutched hard at her baby as she stared at his grave. And Grey k
Giovanni looked up. "Did you spy on Caramel?" He demanded. One of the men nodded briefly. "We did but we didn't see her meet with anyone asides from Alfred. We couldn't get what they discussed but she has not acted any difference as to how she did when she heard the news about Grey's death. Infact, she spent a lot of time at the burial, crying about Grey." he explained. "Why?" Another inquired. "Do you think Grey isn't dead for real?" Giovanni made a side smile. "Of course, I know. I know he's dead but there's no harm in confirming things. What was Jamal's response?" "That the meeting will hold tomorrow afternoon." Giovanni's smile got even wider. "Good. He has finally succumbed. I'm sure he would. He only needed some time to confirm the allegations from Alfred. Several times now, the allegations have always turned out unreal. So, I don't blame him but I'm going to deal with him for turning his back on me. But that will be when I'm done with Grey totally," he revealed. Giovanni w
“Boss,” a soft voice reached to his ears.Grey looked up slowly. He slept off just a few minutes after the plan had moved. Though, it was part of the plan. He wanted to look wasted.“Have we arrived?”“Yes boss, we have,” Dominic responded. “It’s kind of late. It’s thirty minutes after eight already but this is the time for nightclubs to get even more interesting.”Grey sat up. “Tell me more about this nightclub.”“It’s frequently visited by the mafia bosses in town. In fact, it’s the most popular one in the city. This particular nightclub even has a casino. And just as Protos Pubblicita is popular in Jacksonville, Ex Maximo is here,” he responded.Grey nodded once and got up. “Two men are coming with me. The other should stay back. You can stay around but I advise you to go to Charles's house. I won't be needing your service today.”The men bowed.He stepped out of the plane with Dominic and another man. Dominic decided to go with him because he knew that Charles would kill him if an
Grey’s gaze searched around for Dominic but he was nowhere to be found. He didn't know if he was lost among the crowds or if he just wasn't in the club anymore.“Focus, friend. This show is mainly for you,” a voice whispered into his ears.Grey looked back to the stage. He was right anyways, they were doing it mainly for him. But he was just surprised that Dominic wasn't near him. Wasn't they supposed to put them together? Then he remembered that Dominic wasn't even able to tell the people if he was new or not. So, they just thought Grey came alone.Perhaps, this was how it has always happened with the other men that Alfred had sent over too.The lady on stage had a seductive smile on her face as she swung her body around the pole.Grey decided to relax and watched the drama unfold."Here! A bottle of Barolo! For our guest! It's a long way from Seattle!" A voice announced and everyone laughed.Grey stared down at the bottle of Barolo for a moment before he took the cup still filled wi
"You don't threaten Aurora," her voice raised a bit above usual and her expression changed as well.Grey moved his right hand from her waist to her back and pulled her even closer with so much strength that Aurora complied forcefully."I bet you don't want to know what I can do with this small knife. You will never be able to be a pole dancer again," he threatened and pressed the knife further so that they delved a bit into the flesh.Aurora let out a deep cry. "Fine!" She said finally and stretched out to the shirt. "I was only doing you a favour anyways. You will die now," she muttered angrily.Grey released her and she jerked backward and undid two buttons. Grey slowly put the knife back inside his pocket before he smiled and took her hand to stop her from going further.Aurora gave him a skeptical look.Grey smiled and nodded briefly. "Get off!" He stressed and pushed her away to look at the men that have turned them into a movie."I don't think he's affected," someone muttered."
The man hesitated as if thinking about how to go against Aphrodite.Aphrodite only had to take four steps closer to point the gun at the man's temple."I said you should let him go!" She said through clenched teeth. She was angry now and her voice shook with it.With a forceful release of sigh, the man eventually let Grey go.“Who are you?” Aurora questioned with a thick expression.Aphrodite pointed the gun at her. “You ask too many questions, bitch! I won't hesitate to shoot through your head!" She threatened and looked at Grey. "Boss, that was dangerous!""It seems like dangerous is his second name," Charles showed up from behind. "What should we do with these men? We can't release them yet," Aphrodite murmured.Grey reasoned for a moment. "Make them unconscious but don't kill them, just yet and I only need Aurora with me."Aphrodite raised skeptical brows. "Aurora?" She stressed the name as if tasting the sound of it. "Oh, the bitch? No way am I leaving you with this lowlife! She
