“What! You did what? You killed him? But why did you do that?”

Maximo released a sigh. “Well, I had no choice."

"Of course you did. You could have left the city. Why would you think the only solution is killing him?"

"Because that was the only solution," he sighed. "He kidnapped Simon and threatened to kill him if I didn't show up," he revealed.

Grey stared at him for a moment. "What!"

Maximo nodded once. "I couldn't let Simon die. We've been together since we were so young. I just couldn't_," his voice trailed off.

Grey released a sigh. "I understand, Maximo. I would do the same actually."

Maximo looked at him for a moment. "I planned to speak with him. I had nothing to say but it was all to fulfil my intention," he chuckled. "So, I killed him," he revealed.

Grey nodded once. "And what has that got to do with Alex?"

Maximo went quiet as if trying to remember what had actually happened. "He had me recorded. And he's currently using it against me."

Grey released an exasperated sigh and

    Alex was so upset. He couldn’t stop thinking about it.Actually, he received a message that one of Maximo’s closest men was on his way to his house but for two hours, nothing happened.He actually knew something was wrong with Maximo. Could Charles be doing something with Maximo?Maybe it was something very secretive. And because Maximo was acting so strangely. Ok, it has been over years since they had seen each other. Then, Maximo used to be very cooperative but maybe he was older or maybe it was because there’s something else going on that he doesn’t know.And he couldn’t wait to find out.The door opened suddenly and one of his men walked inside. “Maximo is here to see you,” he announced.Alex looked up, a bit startled. “What? He’s here?”The man nodded once. “Yes, boss. Should we let him in or not?”Alex thought about it for a moment before he made a slight nod of his head. “Let him inside.”The man nodded once and walked out.Could Maximo have called his man back and decided to t

    "Nothing?" Giovanni raised skeptical brows. "Nothing at all? Is this supposed to be a joke?""We just couldn't find anything concerning the billionaire president. It was as if they hadn't selected any," one of his men responded.Giovanni looked away for a moment as he thought about it. It was strange anyway. Italy was always fast about things like that. They have always been desperate especially after Giovanni had always done his best to make sure they fail at it.Yes, Giovanni has been the one planning against them. And he does plan against a lot of countries so that he would have the highest chance to be appointed as the king of the world the fourth time.And when that happens, he would become one of the elite members which was his dream, the reason why he was working so hard.With the position and power at his fingers, he would be able to command some authorities. He would be invincible."What if they are withdrawing? What if they decided not to participate in this year's program?

    The door opened immediately and Maro walked inside. “Boss,” he called with dejection.Alex looked at him, with raised brows. “Speak.”Maro sighed. “It looked like we had been deceived. There was nobody standing anywhere. Maximo seemed to have come alone.”Alex squeezed his face. “Seriously?”Maro sighed. “What do you think we should do?”Alex looked away for a moment. “Is there a trace of the reporters or the web developer anywhere?”Maro shook his head briefly. “No boss. As far as I’m concerned, I don’t even think they are in Italy,” he took a step closer. “ Do you really have the evidence?”Alex released a sigh. “I don’t but we will have to do something. Maximo must not know that I don’t have. ““But whatever we do, Maximo would want us to show him the evidence. If we have none, then there will be nothing to show him,” Maro expressed his concern.Alex thought about it for a moment. “I will figure something out. Has my dad sent any message to me?”“No, boss. There has been nothing fr

    Grey turned to look at her suddenly, with a clear expression. “Sorry?”Avery's eyes went wide with shock as she continued to stare at Grey. “Grey?” She called again, softly with a shaking voice.Grey shook his head briefly. “You seem to have it wrong, ma’am. I don’t know who you are,” He muttered in a deep and different voice from the one that Avery was familiar with.“Obviously,” Maximo said quickly and looked at Avery. “Miss Avery? What are you doing here?”Avery recognized Maximo immediately. “Mr. Maximo!” She smiled faintly. “I-,” she hesitated for a moment. “I lodged here,” she said eventually. “I didn’t expect to meet you here, actually. I didn’t even know you were the one standing near him,” she glanced at Grey slightly. “I thought he was someone I know.”Maximo shook his head briefly. “You must have been mistaken. David here is one of our employees. He’s not Grey. I guess he just looks like someone you know but he’s not definitely.”Grey looked at Maximo quickly, with a raised

    “What? Alex is calling?” Grey was a bit shocked. Or maybe he just thought that Alex was a fool and he was not. Alex might already know that they were watching him or maybe he saw one of his men. If he does, he would definitely know what their plan was.“Get back to me about whatever he says,” he finished and hung up.Charles moved closer to him at this point. “Boss, I just receive a report from the men,” he announced.“Open up!” Grey ordered.“I just got informed that the men that just arrived in Italy aren't staying with Alex. They actually lodged into one of the hotels in Italy,” Charles revealed.Grey regarded him for a moment. “Seriously? Something is really wrong somewhere. If they are really here for Alex, then they should be staying with him. There must be something we don't know.”Charles nodded once. “That's what I think too. But I'm leaving now. I will have to lodge into the hotel to be able to know what the men's mission is,” he explained.Grey nodded once. "Just let me in

    Maximo couldn't believe his ears. “What did you just say? He was your dead husband? I mean, I didn't know you were married.”Avery smiled softly. “We divorced before he died. It's actually a long story but David reminds me a lot about him. I will check in with you later then,” she took a short bow before she walked out of the office.For a few minutes, Maximo was still shocked. He never expected it. Was that why Grey didn't want to tell him anything? Yet, Maximo felt offended. Grey shouldn't hide something like that from him.That aside, he wondered why the two divorced. And somehow, he wanted to get to the root of it all especially because he has started loving Avery..Grey and Aphrodite arrived at Italy’s Amalfi Coast several hours later. No call came from Maximo or Charles and Grey was starting to worry but he didn't want it to disrupt his trip.Aphrodite had changed into a red gown that matched her hair perfectly. “The view is perfect!” she exclaimed softly.Grey moved closer and

    Grey regarded him for a moment. “What are you doing here?”Vincenzo shook his head once. “I didn’t follow you here. It’s just a coincidence,” he explained.Five men moved out from their hiding place and moved closer to Grey from behind.Vincenzo watched the men for a moment. “Calm down, I wasn’t going to do anything to your boss,” he told the men and looked at Grey again. “I saw you from afar and I decided to move closer and apologize for the other day. The elders told me you won’t be available for three days,” he explained.Grey regarded him for a moment as if trying to read what was going on in his head. “Alright. Nice meeting you here. You can proceed with what you want to do. We have places to be.”Vincenzo made a nod of his head and looked at Aphrodite. “I’m sorry ma’am for everything and I’m sorry,” he looked up at Grey. “For accosting you. I hope we are clear, now?”Grey nodded once. “Good,” he gave him a side look and wrapped his arm around Aphrodite. “See you later,” he mutte

    The door opened suddenly and two men walked inside.A man that was already inside and seemed to be waiting for the two men, looked up and released a sigh."Anything?" The man asked.The two men made a nod of their heads. "Nothing sir. We are unable to get anything. It doesn't even look like they've had any meetings this year.""Yes, it looks like they don't plan on joining for this year after all," the second man informed.The man who was on the chair and well, the boss, sighed again. "It's exactly like I thought but we need concrete evidence to report to the boss," he explained and stood. "We need a picture or maybe a video. Then, we can be done with this," he cleared his throat. "Let's stay calm for today. We will get our evidence tomorrow. For now, let's get some drinks," he announced.The other men whooped in delight.The boss had a wide smile on his face as he moved to the door. Just as he opened it, a lady walked past him. He hesitated, but his eyes followed her to her door.Th

    Avery woke up with a scream. Her head was still banging but she wasn't in the airport anymore.She held onto her temple for a moment.The door opened suddenly and Emily walked inside.“Avery!” She called, with worries written all over her face. “What happened? Are you alright?”Her eyes were shut tightly. “Headache,” she whispered.Emily rushed out of the room suddenly. She rushed inside almost immediately but was accompanied by some doctors.Avery felt a stab of the syringe and suddenly, the pain started to ebb away.“Avery! Are you alright?”Avery opened her eyes and looked at her mother. “Mom, where is Grey?”Emily hesitated briefly. “What about the headache?” She asked instead.Avery looked at the doctor, ignoring her mother's question. “Grey was brought in here, right? The VP of Protos Pubblicita. Where is he? How is he?”One of the doctors regarded her for a moment, then looked at Emily. “Are they_”“He's my husband!” Avery said quickly. “If he's here, I demand to know how he's

    “Grey!” Avery yelled again, in despair and pain.The phone dropped from her hand but she barely noticed.She couldn't believe what she had seen. She was actually thinking of surprising Grey by coming to the airport.But since Grey didn't want to see her, she was going to leave. Just seeing him from afar was enough for her.Avery raced closer. Her heart was pounding madly in her chest. “Grey!” She yelled again and felt the tears slide down her cheeks.Then she saw some images flash across her eyes. She saw herself standing beside a car with Grey.A serious headache hit in and he held onto her head a bit to stop the pain.But it worsened.Avery couldn't move as several images flashed across her eyes. The pain in her head got worse.She yelled, much in sadness than in pain. Grey was slipping off her hands and instead of helping, she could not.But it felt like she was starting to remember everything. She was starting to remember everything about Grey.“You ruined my life!” Avery saw her

    Avery didn't believe it, couldn't have imagined it. Grey was a nice person. How could he have treated him badly?She felt a purge of sadness. She closed her eyes for a moment and shed unseen tears.“Sean, I need to meet you alone,” she muttered and walked away.Emily and Benjamin stared at her for a moment, confused.Emily turned to look at Sean. “And what are you doing here?” She yelled at him, anger vivid on her face.Sean looked down in guilt. “I'm so sorry. I really am. That's why I'm here. Please,” he beseeched softly and looked up at her again. “That's why I'm here. I really need everyone's forgiveness. I really hope you can forgive me. I've learned my lesson,” he rushed out with a solemn expression.“You_” Emily started but Benjamin cut in quickly.“It's ok,” Ben muttered. “You should go and see Avery. When you guys are done talking, you should see me before you leave.”Sean bowed slightly, with a slight smile on his face. He hurried towards the direction that Avery had gone.He

    Avery couldn't stop thinking about all Grey had told her. She still found it hard to believe. How was she married and they weren't intimate?Does it mean she forced him to marry her? But then she wondered why she would do such a thing.She took her phone and placed a call to Sean.He picked it up immediately. “Hi, sister.”“I'm on the way home. So, come over. I won’t wait too much for you,” she finished and hung up immediately.The car pulled into the garage and Avery got down before the engine of the car would even stop.She walked inside the living room.“Ben, have you_” Emily started but stopped suddenly when she saw Avery. Her eyes widened with shock. “Avery!” Joy exploded in her eyes.Avery managed a smile and met her mother midway. They hugged.“Where have you been all these while? Why did you decide to stay away from us all this while?” She sobbed quietly.“I'm sorry,” Avery responded and pulled back to look at her mother fully. “I just need to get myself back. Besides, there a

    Avery stood in front of the mirror, with two dresses. She was indecisive about the one to wear. She just freshened up and the only thing she could think of was to go back to the hospital because of Grey.She just wanted to be with him. She didn't want to think of anything else.She eventually decided on the black one, deciding it was a bad idea to be overly dressed when she was in fact going to the hospital.She dabbed some perfumes on herself and eventually walked out of the house. She got inside the car and drove right to a restaurant nearby.She thought of getting Hercules some cakes. Her phone rang suddenly as she walked back to the car. She hesitated briefly, as she took a while to find her. The phone had stopped ringing when she finally found it.She was about to check the caller ID when the phone started ringing again. It was an unknown caller.She hesitated again and contemplated on whether to pick it up or not.She eventually decided to.“Hello?”“Hello, sis!” A familiar de

    Charles looked at Grey, still shocked. “Don't tell me you will team up with this good-for-nothing guy? You know he's not to be trusted!”Grey nodded once and looked at him. “I know but you do trust me, right? Just trust me.”Charles regarded him for a moment and slowly released a sigh. “Alright then.”Grey looked at Dylan. “But this teamwork will not work if we don't have the evidence we can pin Giovanni down with,” he explained.“Well, Giovanni is supposed to die, and not be jailed for killing your father.”“Well, I won't need the evidence after Giovanni dies. So, this deal will be useless for me. Besides, Giovanni will not live after killing my father. Don't think I plan on sparing his life.”Dylan laughed. “I like that! I sincerely do!” He muttered, dipped his hand into his pocket, and pulled out a phone. “It's here, everything on the watch,” he revealed, placed it on the bed beside Grey, and smiled slightly. “I will be in Jacksonville soon. We will talk then,” he finished, got up,

    “Well, let him come,” Grey decided and looked at Avery. “I'm done with the food. Thank you, I really appreciate it,” he said with a smile.Avery nodded once and packed the lunch boxes. “I will leave then so that you and Dylan can speak.”Grey nodded. “Alright. Take care of yourself.”Avery smiled slightly and walked out eventually.Charles turned to Grey. “I will kill him today if he tries to act sneaky!” He swore.Grey smiled slightly. “Just calm down and let's hear him first.”Charles groaned inwardly and pulled a chair for himself to sit. “I'm seriously going to kill him!” He promised.Grey laughed and his phone made a beep. It was a message from Avery. He read through and looked at Charles.“Dylan is here,” he announced.Charles nodded several times as if it was taking every ounce of his strength to keep calm.A soft knock sounded on the door. The door opened almost immediately and Dylan pushed his head inside, a wide smile on his face.“Hi everyone!” He said with sarcasm.“You be

    “Are you sure?” Grey nodded once, with a soft smile. “Yes, I am. I will handle him. So, you just stay calm,” he responded and dialed Charles's number.Avery nodded once. “I will call him back then.”Grey nodded again. “But tell him I would like to choose the venue. If he's not agreeing with that, then I won't see him,” he muttered and looked at the phone screen only to discover Charles had picked it up.“Hi Charles,” he said into the receiver and relaxed back on the bed.“Grey, where have you been?”“Well,” he smiled softly. He would have never thought he was going to get so sick. He hadn't gotten so sick in a long time that it felt like he was immortal, immune.“I got sick Charles. In fact, I'm currently at the hospital.”“Damn! Send me the address. I will be there now,” he assured and the line went off.Grey looked at Avery and caught her staring. He smiled. “What did the doctor say is wrong with me?”“Well, I will tell you that while you eat. You haven't eaten since morning.”Grey

    Consciousness returned to Grey slowly and his gaze searched around.Where was he?A slight headache hit in. He groaned and reached for his head.“Are you alright?” A soft voice asked suddenly.He looked up at a pair of brown eyes. Wait, a nurse?“Yes, just a slight headache,” he responded.The nurse smiled down at him. “You will be fine with this,” she assured and raised a syringe. She regarded him for another moment before she injected him.Grey didn't flinch. It was as if nothing penetrated him. Well, a lot had penetrated him before. What more could a syringe do?“Wow, I'm impressed,” the nurse smiled.Grey didn't really remember anything. In fact, the headache was making it difficult for him. But then, the pain ebbed away slowly as the nurse had said.“Where am I?” He said and groaned inwardly. “I know this is a hospital. I'm sorry for that stupid question.”The nurse laughed.He did as well. “I mean how did I get here?”“Well, your girlfriend brought us here. She stepped out a few
