Charles looked at Grey. "Go now! I will distract him!" He said quickly and rushed out of the elevator.Grey covered his face very well with the hood and turned aside.It was at this moment that Alex rounded off what he was saying to his men and turned towards the elevator. His eyes went wide with shock as he looked at Charles."Charles?"Charles feigned surprise, as he stood in front of the elevator so that Alex wouldn't be able to enter.Alex didn't suspect anything as his attention was on Charles. "It's actually pleasing to meet you here. But I'm not here for you.""How disappointing," Charles voiced out suddenly, as the elevator closed. He released a sigh of relief. "I actually knew how notorious your father was," he eventually stepped aside from the elevator. "But I didn't expect him to shamelessly let you off the hook. You disgraced him. Yet, he's still willing to risk his reputation to get you out."Alex scoffed. "What do you think? I'm sure you are just bitter for Grey. Grey did
Grey was fuming when he arrived at the floor where Maximo's office was.There were two security men in front of his office. Grey moved closer nonetheless."Who are you?" One of the men asked as they tried to stop Grey from entering.Grey ignored them and made towards the door. One of the men caught him by the hand and made to punch him with the other one.But Grey dodged it and gave him a blow in the mouth. The man staggered back and vomited blood.Grey had this dark frown on his face as he turned towards the second man. He backed away briefly, now seeing his face and remembering that Grey was friends with Maximo."You can go in," he said hurriedly, with a shaking voice.Well, he remembered that Grey had defeated Maximo in a fight. So, he would be no match for him. Fighting him would be useless.Grey clenched his fist angrily, ready to smash anyone that dared him. He stomped inside.Maximo stood up quickly when the door opened. He regarded Grey for a moment. "Grey? I thought you left
The door opened suddenly and Maximo's secretary walked inside.Alex stopped walking and turned around, his focus now on the secretary, the book shelf already forgotten.The secretary gaze searched around briefly."Yes, what is it?" Maximo demanded."Miss Robinson is here. She's supposed to see you this morning. But I don't know if you are ready to meet with her."Maximo cleared his throat meaningfully. "Let her in. I'm free at this moment to attend to her."The secretary bowed slightly. "Alright boss," she finished and walked out.Maximo looked at Alex. "You will have to leave now. As you can see, I have something else to do."Alex gave him a long stare. "I will be watching you," he gave him the last warning before he walked out of the office.Maximo closed his eyes briefly, while inhaling a sighing breath. "Make sure Alex leaves this territory, before you report to me," he ordered.The man bowed slightly. "Yes boss," and walked out of the office.A soft knock sounded on the door almo
Avery stopped the door before it would close. She rushed out of the elevator and realised that the man was gone.Wait, she couldn't have imagined him. Avery had Grey in mind but he wasn't the one he was thinking about at that moment.There was no way she would be hallucinating. It was very impossible. And the man clearly walked past her. It was weird.Avery walked back to Maximo's office and regarded the two men in front of the office for a moment. She didn't know if she was supposed to enter Maximo's office. What excuse was she going to give Maximo? That she wanted to check if her ex-husband was in his office.What if he wasn't?Damn! Grey was dead!Avery heard the news as well. She didn't get herself for some days after the announcement. The fact that she knew that Grey was killed gave her a feeling close to fear.Grey was bombed. He could have been annoying when they were married but Avery wished she could meet him again. In fact, she realised after a few months that Grey was a g
Grey pulled out of the garage while Charles spoke to Luciano."Luciano is on the way to your house. He would contact Dante on his way," Charles announced.Grey nodded once. "Good," he muttered."What's your plan?""Call the men. They are supposed to meet us at the hotel. Find a nice hostel to lodge them."Charles was alarmed. "Are you going to show yourself to Alex? We can't afford that actually. It's going to ruin our plan.""I have no plan to do that, Charles. So, relax. I'm going to protect the men but I won't risk my life either," he took a turn suddenly and glanced back. "Why aren't you calling anyone?""Why do I feel like you are about to embark on something very dangerous?"Grey smiled softly. " If Alex is here, he must definitely plan to stay in Italy till he can return to Jacksonville as a free man. And that will totally happen when Giovanni gets the award as the king of the world," he explained.Charles regarded him for a moment as realisation dawned on him. "Because he gets
"The men will lead you to where Alex has kept the web developer. I won't be going with you. I will instead meet with Luciano. Also, Dante should join you at Alex's place. Just send me the address," he uttered. Charles nodded once. "Alright, I understand." Aphrodite looked at Grey. "Should I come with you?" Grey nodded once. "Yes, we are going home together. Charles will handle the rest." Aphrodite nodded once and walked to one of Alex's cars with Grey. Grey bent slightly to look at one of the reporters who was shivering in fear. "It's ok. You are safe," Grey assured and pulled down the mask so that the reporter would see his face. The reporter nodded once. "Thank you so much, sir." "Let's go. There's a place you have to be. You need to relocate now anyways since someone is after your life," Grey explained. The man nodded once and got out of the car. And they both walked to one of their cars and drove off, leaving Charles behind with the men. Charles moved closer to one of the m
"So, what do you suggest that we do? Maximo leads the mafia bosses here. We can't turn against me."Grey shook his head briefly. "I'm not saying you should turn against him, Luciano. I'm just telling you what I think. I know what to do about him and I will very soon," he assured. “The reason I called you over will soon arrive.”It didn’t take up to a few minutes when Charles stepped inside the house with the web developer.Grey looked at Aphrodite and made a facial gesture. Aphrodite walked inside.“I hope it wasn't such a long fight,” Grey said as Charles sat.Dante sat. “Do you know that Alex is in Italy? And we would have lost these people if Grey hadn’t decided to rescue them.”“What do you think we should do?” Luciano questioned just as Aphrodite walked inside with one of the reporters.Grey sat up. “The reporters and the web developer will have to leave Italy,” he announced. “What! What about our lives in Italy?” The web developer uttered.Grey turned to look at him. “I promise
“You did?” Maximo felt enraged.“I’m so sorry, boss. I did what I thought was right,” Simon announced.Maximo regarded him for a moment. “Did you tell him that Grey is alive?”Simon shook his head briefly. “I didn’t. I didn’t do that. I merely wanted Alex to see Grey. This was why I staged everything.”Maximo clenched his fist in anger. “How could you let Alex suspect me? I still had a lot to deal with from him! How could you let him do that to me?” He yelled.Simon bowed. “I’m sorry boss. You have to forgive me. I did it all with your best interest in mind,” he pleaded.Maximo hit him across the face so fast and in anger. He pulled him up violently. “ How dare you do that? I’m the boss! You don’t act behind my back!” He yelled.“I’m sorry, boss. I thought it was the best!”Maximo released him suddenly. “This had better be the last time you will do this. If you try something like this again, I will have no choice but to kill you!” He shouted. “Do you understand?”Simon nodded quickly
