Several men walked out, dressed in black attire and they attacked him immediately. The next sudden kick from three men caught Grey off-guard and he fell to the floor, the phone still in his hand.“Who are you?” Grey demanded.His question was met with no answers from the men. Instead, they moved even closer to him. Grey got up quickly just as another guy aimed at him. Grey was quick to dodge this time and also gave out a taste of his own on the attacker.Two men rushed forward to grab Grey’s hand, while another aimed a punch at his face. Grey hit his head against the attacker and pulled at the men holding him so tight. They were forced to hit each other and fall.“You aren’t so bad at this,” a voice said suddenly. The voice sounded familiar but Grey doesn’t remember where he had heard it from. The men stepped back a bit at the sound of the voice and one would know the speaker was the boss.Grey turned around again, to see who it was. His eyes went wide with shock as he beheld the man
Vincenzo looked at Maximo with shock. He didn’t expect to see him at all. He didn’t even know that he was aware of all he was doing.“What are you doing here?” His anxiousness showed in his voice.Maximo was filled with rage. “I should be asking you that question!” He yelled. “What are you doing here?”The men that were fighting with Grey, stopped and stepped backward.“Maximo, this is totally not yours to interfere with. I have to teach him a great lesson,” Vincenzo explained.Maximo huffed, feeling irritated. “Seriously? Do you even know who he is? How dare you do that to him?” He yelled again, his nostril flaring around. He looked over at the men. “Lead Grey to the car,” he ordered.The men moved forward, pushing Vincenzo’s men in the process.Vincenzo clenched his fist with anger. Maximo was really messing with him and he didn’t like it. Though, Maximo was someone he didn’t want to mess with. They had both agreed to go their separate ways. One was never to interfere with the other
Vincenzo drove inside the garage roughly. He was a bit angry at the sudden call. If his father hasn’t interrupted him, he would have been able to deal with Grey.Also, he had to find something to do with Maximo. To him, Maximo was biting off more than he could chew. He didn’t know why Maximo had to meddle with everything. It made him so angry.He just wouldn’t let Grey go with insulting him like that.He got out of the car and hurried inside the living room. The president, his father was waiting for him.“You took longer than you were supposed to,” he muttered.Vincenzo grunted. “I came back as fast as I could. What were you going to tell me that couldn’t wait till morning?” He asked and sat, still fuming.The door opened suddenly. Leonardo, Dante, and Enzo walked inside.Vincenzo sat up, as fear entered his features. “What’s going on here?”The men didn’t answer and went to sit instead.“I called you over because of them. I heard something was going on at your hotel. Is it true?” Vi
Grey walked into the garage. Two men rushed to him.“Is there anything we can do, boss?” Grey regarded them for a moment. “I want one of you to return this car to Maximo,” he ordered and walked to another car by his left. “Should we go with you, sir? I mean we wouldn’t want what had happened before to repeat itself,” one of the men explained.Grey shook his head briefly. “I will handle this myself,” he didn’t wait for them to say any more words before he got into the car and drove out of the garage.He was fuming with rage when he pulled to a stop in front of the bar where Thomas said he was.He rushed inside the bar, in anger. The place was seething with people and the lights that were changing from orange to purple, to blue and orange again prevented Grey from seeing Thomas.He pulled his phone out of his pocket and dialled his number again. It rang severally before Thomas eventually picked it up.“Where the fuck are you?” Grey yelled into the receiver.There was hesitation. “Calm
“What did I tell you, Alex!” Giovani yelled at him.Alex couldn’t talk, he didn’t even know what to say. So, he kept mute. “I just asked you a question. You should answer me because I clearly gave you the instructions to follow. Why wouldn’t you follow my orders?”Alex muttered some inaudible under his breath.“Answer me!” Giovanni yelled.Alex looked up at him. “I didn’t go against your order. You didn’t want me to go to clubs or bars. And I decided to have a party at my place. Why is that so wrong?”Giovanni hit him across the face and pulled back immediately before he would hit him again. “I’m protecting you and you have to show your interest in wanting me to continue to do it. If you keep on behaving like this, I will be forced to let you be,” he threatened.Alex looked away, a dark frown on his face.“Understood?” Giovanni yelled.Alex nodded briefly. “I understand.”The door opened suddenly and a man walked inside. “Boss, your guest has arrived,” he announced.Giovanni looked
Grey stayed beside Aphrodite till the next morning, he actually slept off.When he woke up the next morning, Aphrodite was suddenly gone.He was shocked at first. The doctor said she might not even wake up throughout the second day. Does that mean someone walked in and took her while he was asleep?That wasn’t really possible anyway. Grey was a light sleeper alright but the course of events of the day really affected him.But he still couldn’t believe it. He got up and his neck felt stiff.“You could have slept on the bed beside me instead of sleeping so uncomfortable,” a soft voice said suddenly, jerking Grey out of his thoughts.He didn’t even need to turn to know who the speaker was. “Novia?” He was shocked.Aphrodite smiled. “Good morning, Grey. It feels like I’ve been sleeping for ages. I think I’m the live adaptation of the sleeping beauty,” she laughed.Grey regarded her for a moment, a smile on his face. “You seem ok, joking like that. I thought something was going to happen
Richard walked into a house with a bright smile on his face. He regarded the whole place for a moment before he turned to the man behind him. “This place is nice, tell that to Giovanni. Also, tell him that I’m expecting the other thing.”The man nodded once. “Alright, sir.”Richard walked to his room where a sealed box was. He took it and unlocked it. A smile appeared on his face as he pulled out everything in it.He hesitated at the last piece in the box. He read through it briefly.A soft knock sounded on the door suddenly, jerking him out of his thoughts. He placed the piece back inside the box.He placed the box on the bed and got up. He opened the door and looked at the man standing in front of the door. It was a different guy from before.“Yes, is everything alright?”“Yes, boss. The boss sent me and several men over here. We will be your security guards now,” he revealed.Richard felt even happier. “Giovanni knew exactly what to do and when to do it. Did he tell you another thi
“If Hercules’s elders really set you up. Then, they must be trying to stop you from becoming the king of the world,” Sam explained.“Does that mean there’s a new Hercules? “ Robert inquired.“I don’t think so. In fact, I don’t think it’s Hercules’ elders,” Martin voiced out.Giovanni released a sigh. “I spoke with the head of police and he promised to help us.”Giovanni suspected Alfred and Gregory but he wasn’t so sure. What would Alfred gain by doing something like that? Maybe they were doing it to get back at him for killing Grey. Giovanni still couldn’t find anything to show the involvement of Hercules’ elders.“Has the news stopped?”“Yes, immediately. But you all should watch out for any site that brings out this kind of news. We must prevent it all. I am going to be the king of the world. The throne belongs to me.”“We will do all we can to make sure you get this throne,” Martin assured.Giovanni nodded once. “I’m going to meet with one of the judges tomorrow. I will do all I c
