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
Grey couldn't believe it. Was it just a coincidence? That Avery was the one he so desperately wanted to rescue?"Leave now! While you still can," a deep voice muttered suddenly. The door opened and two men got out of the car."Deal with them!" Grey ordered.Grey's men rushed at the other men. A car pulled to a stop beside Grey suddenly and the last of Grey's men rushed out of the car. He hurried towards the others to help out.Grey watched the men for a moment before he moved closer to the driver. The driver launched an attack at him again. Grey caught his fist in his hand, groaned, and squeezed it.The driver yelled out as Grey continued to squeeze even harder until the driver slowly went down, while cries of protest filled the air around them."Where is she? Where is the woman you took?""In the booth!" He said quickly. "Please, let me go. I beg of you," he beseeched softly.Grey released him and hit him in the chest. He hurried over to the back of the car and struggled with the boo
Grey safely placed Avery in the car and walked towards the other men from Jacksonville. Two of Grey's men were watching them while the last one was the one that came with Grey from the lake."They still failed to say why they kidnapped Avery?" Grey asked in a deep voice.One of his men nodded positively. "No one is talking."Grey regarded them for a moment. "Kill them," he muttered.The other men looked up suddenly, and fear gripped them. Grey could see this in their eyes as he turned back. "Kill them and dispose of their bodies. Then, find a way to meet me at the suite.""I will talk," one of the men said suddenly as Grey took a step forward. He stopped but didn't turn to look at them. "I will tell you everything you want to know," he promised.Grey whirled around to look at them again. "And start talking before I change my mind!" He yelled in a deep voice.One of the men swallowed harder. "The boss wished to have her. So, we are supposed to bring her to him," he explained.Grey grew
