The shock made Grey lose his hold on Liam. "The fuck!" Liam cussed and scampered away. His arm was hurting him so badly and he started to fear what Grey would do to him if he didn't leave quickly.Grey felt his head fly away. He hadn't imagined that a kiss from Caramel would do so much to him. Well, he couldn't really blame himself. When last did he kiss? When was the last time he touched a woman? He had been trying to avoid getting involved with women after he became a son-in-law.Even though it was just by word and his wife didn't submit to him, he still felt subjected to the rule.Grey shivered slightly and felt like having more, proceeding only if it was possible. His hands flew up and touched Caramel, igniting a fire in her that made her shivered slightly. Though, Grey didn't know this.He had a serious fight within him on what to do. Eventually, he pulled her apart a little, disrupting the kiss.Caramel pulled back slowly so that there was enough space between them while her he
There was no one in the living room when Grey walked in.He opened the bedroom door slowly so that he wouldn't wake up Avery. Little did he know that she woke up the moment the door opened..Grey woke up earlier than Avery. He didn't want Avery to waste his time that morning. In fact, he got to the dining table before her.Though, Avery came in a few minutes after."Father, how has the company been?" Emma started a conversation.Grey sighed. The family is used to talking during breakfast. Maybe because they don't usually have the time to have dinner together or maybe Lucy just doesn't like to talk in the evening."Fine. How else do you suppose it is? Smith is running it perfectly," Lucy answered in a harsh tone. It still shows that he was angry at Avery.Emma sighed. "If only you could reconsider. Avery does a better job when she is there," She mumbled.Avery looked over at Emma. " Stop mom!" She whispered.Emma sighed and eventually decided to concentrate on the food."Grey," Lucy s
Grey sighed as he walked inside his office. Avery refused to listen to him and he doesn't even know what her decision would be.If only she knew that he was Hercules and he was going to help her.A soft knock sounded on the door, jerking Grey out of his thoughts.He looked up. "Yes, come in."The door opened and Maria walked in. " Here sir," she placed a big file on the table. " I made an estimation of the amount we will be needing. And I couldn't lessen it any further," she informed.Grey took the file and perused it. "Alright. This is six million dollars?""Yes sir but I think we should opt for the loan options," she fidgeted. " There's no way we can do this. And we can't afford to lose the job. This job will help this company financially. We could get a loan and pay back after we've received payment from the company," she advised.Grey looked up at her. " When would you like to leave to get the product? Will it be shipped in?"Maria stared at Grey for a moment. " But we are talkin
"Who the fuck do you think you are? You can't just show up now and start claiming Hercules! Where were you all these years?" Charles yelled. Grey stared at him for a moment, he didn't know if he was angry that he would be taking back his properties or if he was just concerned. "Hey, Charles. You need to calm down! This is not the right time to do all this!" Aphrodite interfered. " Seriously?" Charles smirked. " Let him tell me the right time because I'm not getting it!" Aphrodite sighed, fed up already. She decided to call on Alfred, perhaps he could settle the fight between Grey and Charles. "Where's Alfred? Is he inside?" Charles looked at Aphrodite and nodded slightly. "His documents and all other stuff are inside. I believe I'm not needed here anymore and I'm leaving!" He snarled. Aphrodite stormed inside, leaving the two men staring daggers at each other. "Nothing to say? Cat got your tongue?" Charles teased. "I'm sure you were the one that just introduced yourself as Herc
Charles hung up before Grey could say more.Grey looked up at Charles. "She needs to cut the deal!""What? Why?" Charles was skeptical.Grey sighed, rubbing his forehead slightly. "Never mind, I will do it myself. What else do you need to hand over to me? I need to go home."Aphrodite darted at her wristwatch. " I need to leave now. My flight is in an hour."Grey nodded. "We will talk on the phone then."Aphrodite nodded and went to Alfred.Charles turned to Grey. " I will drop you in town. Why don't we leave together so I can tell you more on our way?" He suggested. Grey nodded. " Nice idea."Charles took the stairs up to get some file cases. He hesitated in front of the door and tried to think if he was missing anything else. When he knew he had it all, he walked downstairs again.Grey took the box containing his father's assets and moved it to the other elders. "I will be leaving now. We should probably see later in the city.""Yes, you can come back to the cinema sometimes," Luci
It was already five in the evening when Charles dropped Grey off at SU world. He took the box and the files and proceeded towards his car. He hesitated for a moment as he contemplated whether to enter the office or not. Deciding against it, he placed the box in the back seat and maneuvered around the car to enter the driver's seat.He drove straight away to his former house. He might need to buy the house in the meantime so that it could be a secured place for his documents.He got down quickly, with the box and the documents files containing his credit cards, and hurried inside.Three men came from a car packed a few miles away. It seemed like they had been tailing Grey but he didn't notice because he was in a hurry to get home.They spent a lot of time, all morning searching for him until Seth called to inform them of where Grey worked.And they had been waiting all day until he got down from Charles Car. They even traced him to his house because they were looking for the right ti
Chris laughed. "Well, I would love to come here often but I'm bothered about your daughter's husband," he hinted as if he was really concerned. " Well, fortunately for you! They will be getting a divorce soon," Emma expressed with a wide smile. Avery tried to smile. "Wow, that's nice," Chris looked over at Avery, his gaze flickering around her for a moment in an enigmatic way. " Can I take you out tomorrow?" Avery looked up to him and tried to reject but her mother was already speaking. "That would be fantastic!" She encouraged her. Grey took several steps closer to them before they could notice him. " Greetings," he mumbled. Gazes turned towards him. Emma hissed. "He finally rose in, the incompetent husband just arrived," she complained. " Emma!" Benjamin scolded softly. Then looked up at Grey. "Grey, why are you late?" "Yes, Dad! He came home yesterday too!" Avery added quickly, then turned up to look at Grey again. She saw a trace of blood from Grey's hair as he had alread
After breakfast, Avery and Lucy went to LX corporation. Emma and Benjamin also went out, not after informing Grey to do the dishes.They had maids and he doesn't know why he had to go through the stress. He did it anyway.His phone rang suddenly as he stepped inside the living room. The maids walked past the phone but didn't even bother helping him.They walked past him and didn't greet him but he shuddered it off.It was Alfred that was calling. He picked it up immediately."Hi, Alfred," he smiled and whirled around to go back to the bedroom. "Good morning, Hercules. How are you feeling today?""Fine. I told you I would be better, didn't I?" He laughed.He barely took two steps forward when the doorbell sounded. He stopped in his tracks and turned around, towards the door again."I'm glad you are getting better. You should rest very well. Nothing must happen to you," he declared.Grey nodded. " I will be fine."" Alright but I'm going to tell the elders this. We will take action soo
