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
Grey kissed Aphrodite on the forehead. It was morning already. Grey has been awake for a few minutes and has just been staring at Aphrodite.He actually felt happier with Aphrodite. He felt very peaceful as if she was the one he had been looking for. He wondered why he didn't see it early and why it took so long for him to realise.But he was still grateful that it wasn't too late. Aphrodite was seriously the best for him. She would never betray him and she would never stop loving him.He wouldn't have to worry about other things. He didn't have to worry about his secrets because Aphrodite knew them all. She knew all there was to know about him and more. In fact, Aphrodite was just the best for him.His phone rang suddenly, pulling him out of his thoughts quickly. He hurried to pick it up without even checking the screen ID so that it doesn't wake Aphrodite. Fortunately, Aphrodite only turned but she continued to sleep soundly."Hello, who is this?" He muttered and hurried out of the
It was afternoon, and Aphrodite and Grey were having lunch. And as Aphrodite wanted, there were a lot of side dishes on the table.Grey smiled softly. "Would you be touring around the street in my absence?"Aphrodite nodded once. "Yes, I got a call from one of my friends that said she would be visiting this town. And guess what? She's around already. So, we are going to tour the whole place."Grey nodded once. "That's actually good. It means you won't be bored till I come back. I will be back tonight actually. The moment I'm done, I will return," he promised.Aphrodite smiled. "It's ok. Just take your time. I will be fine here. Though, I expect you to divide the men. Some of the men must follow you back to the city. We can't risk anything."Grey smile widened. "Alright, thank you.""So," Aphrodite took a scoop of ice cream. "Tell me, what is happening with Alex and his men? Are the men truly here with the evidence? Is Maximo going to be in any kind of trouble?""Fortunately, no. Alex
Grey rushed out and his gaze searched around quickly for the men.His muscles contracted and a surge of anger rushed through him at the fact that he might have missed them.Heck, he wouldn't forgive himself. Something was definitely happening and he would find out.He took a step towards some cars, with his gaze still searching around and suddenly, he stopped when he saw a man close the booth. The man looked up at him for a moment and Grey saw the resemblance.The man walked to the front seat and got inside. Then, the car drove right towards him, as if to run him over.Grey managed to move aside so that the car would drive past him. He switched off the phone flashlight just in time to catch a glimpse of the number plates before he rushed back to where his car was parked."Boss, is there anything to do for you?" One of the men asked as he stepped out of the car."Get inside the car and drive out!" He ordered and hurried inside the car.The men complied immediately and pulled out into t
