Wasn't Aurora the woman you were with last night?"Charles let out a sigh. "She was. It looks like you do know a lot. Was that why you asked Maximo for her freedom?"Grey didn't answer immediately. Instead, he took the wine from Charles. "You are going to get drunk at this rate," he cautioned.Charles sighed. "But I'm not yet drunk. Besides, I know how to keep myself from getting drunk."Grey grinned widely like a sly cat. "Are you kidding me? Seriously? With the rate at which you are going? I doubt that."Charles let out an exasperated sigh. "No problem then. I'm not offended."Grey smiled. "So, what's this all about? We came here to have fun and not to get drunk. Why are you drinking?"Charles went still for a moment as if thinking about the reply to give Grey. "I can't stop thinking about her," he said suddenly. "No matter how much I tried, I couldn't stop. I might have been drinking but it doesn't even look like that to me."Grey watched him. "And you don't want to think about her
Giovanni laughed out so loud. "Drink on!" He muttered.He was having a feast at his house after the coronation day have been fixed. He invited interested members and everyone have been enjoying themselves."Congratulations on becoming the billionaire boss once again!" Martin congratulated openly while laughing.One of Giovanni's men walked inside, bowed, and moved closer to him."Alfred and Gregory are back in Jacksonville," he whispered.The smile on his face disappeared and got replaced with a blank expression. He stood up suddenly. "You all should continue enjoying yourself. I will be back very soon," he promised and walked out. The man followed him.He stopped in the hallway. " Did they come with anyone?""They came with no one."Giovanni thought for a moment. "That can't happen actually. Alfred is brilliant. He must know that I'm watching him. He wouldn't make things so clear but I'm sure he's planning something. What else have you found out?"The man shook his head briefly. "Not
Grey yawned lazily. It was morning again. His hand searched the lampstand for his phone. He had no missed calls and it was almost eight in the morning.He went for his bath and remembered that he left Charles drinking in his room before he went to his.Perhaps, he would still be sleeping. Though, what he told Charles seemed to be applying to him. In some sense, it wanted to look like his story was the same as Charles'.Charles has always loved Aphrodite and now when he met someone else, he's not really interested in moving close to her. He thinks it could be lust. No, he was just being doubtful.And him? He had always loved Caramel but he had been rejected. Was he really supposed to deny himself the chance to be loved because his relationship failed twice?Maybe or maybe not. Grey couldn't really make the decision. He couldn't really even think it deeply.He walked out of the room and as usual, Aphrodite was in the kitchen. He hesitated behind her and continued to watch her for what l
"What do you think could have happened to Charles? Why did he run out like that?" Aphrodite asked from behind, with concern in her voice.Grey shook his head briefly. "I have no idea. I hope nothing has happened to Aurora because he was asking when the letter came in."Aphrodite nodded briefly. "You are right."When Grey turned around, he was shocked for a moment, Thomas had his arm around Aphrodite's waist, as if he was trying to console her. Console her for what? It wasn't as if something bad had happened to Charles.Grey cleared his throat meaningfully and walked back to the dining room. It took a while before Thomas and Aphrodite would join him."Can we just eat? I'm tired!" Grey groaned.Aphrodite and Thomas eventually sat, not after Thomas had pulled out the chair for her.Grey groaned inwardly, anger building up in him. "Can we please just eat? Because I have a place to go."Aphrodite sighed. "The last time I checked, you are supposed to be home. It's Saturday after all."Grey
It was late in the night and time does the get-together that he had promised Maximo and the other mafia lords.As Grey had his bath, he couldn't stop thinking about what had happened that morning and the fact that Charles hadn't returned home. He had called him several times but he wouldn't pick up.And he was still grieving the fact that Aphrodite was no longer his. Well, that was what he wanted, wasn't it?The main reason why he had started to think of giving her a chance was that he didn't want to hurt her forever but now that it looked like she had found another guy, it was best for him to stop thinking.Yet, Grey couldn't stop thinking about it throughout the day.A soft knock sounded on the door, just a Grey was wearing his trouser. Before he could talk, the door opened and Charles walked inside. He was clad in Louis Vuitton wear, different from the clothes he was putting on that morning when he ran out of the house."You look ready," Grey muttered.Charles nodded once. "Yes, I
Avery walked out of the plane and hesitated, as the wind blew at her hair harder, pulling them to different locations.She let out a sigh before she flagged down a car and got inside. A smile was tugging at her lips."Good to be in Italy."Within all the years that Avery had left Jacksonville, she started a business in Seattle and it has been blooming well for her.She has been thinking for a while about taking her business to another stage. She wanted to go back to Jacksonville but she didn't think it was a good idea.She could eventually go back to Jacksonville and show her uncle that she could do it without his help. At least, the business has been moving very well without his interference.But she didn't know what she really wanted. She didn't know if going to Jacksonville was what she really wanted.But while she was in Italy, she would enjoy every bit of it..Grey was in his room, having a call with Maria."Yes, but some of them would like to terminate the contract because they
Grey got ready for the meeting which was coming up in an hour. He walked out, clad in a blue suit.Aphrodite walked closer to him. "Are you going alone?"Grey nodded once as he made his tie. "They invited me alone. So, it's normal that I'm going alone."Aphrodite stepped forward to help him. "Alright. I heard everything from Alfred. Are you sure it's really going to be alright? Or does that mean we are trapped in Italy?"Grey shook his head negatively. "Trust me, Novia. I will find a way very soon. Let's just leave Giovanni to enjoy it a bit longer," he suggested.Aphrodite finished, stepped back, and let out a smile. "I'm counting on you."Grey sent her a nice smile as well. "How is Thomas doing?"Aphrodite laughed at this. "Seriously? Don't act as if you are worried about him," she didn't wait for him to say more before she walked into the kitchen.Grey regarded her for a moment before he walked out of the house. Two men were already waiting for him in the car he was taking.The doo
"What?" Grey was shocked for a moment. "Are you sure about this?"Grey might have hated his butt but he wouldn't believe that he would work against his company. He could have been transferred to another company but he still worked under Hercules under normal circumstances."Yes, boss. I saw him and Hercules meet yesterday. They even discussed for so long and I'm still unable to get what they talked about," Don explained.Grey nodded briefly. "Continue spying on him. I will get Maria to fire him.""Alright boss," Don responded.Grey hung up and went deep into thought for a moment. Giovanni thought Hercules was dead. Ok, David doesn't know that Grey was Hercules and Giovanni wouldn't have told him. So, David joined hands with Giovanni to bring Grey down.David has just the boldness to even think of it. Grey was going to destroy the place.He placed a call to Maria which she picked up immediately. "Hello, boss.""Yes, Maria. How are you doing?""Fine boss, I just finished a meeting with
