He was staring at Avery, Grey's ex-wife. Why was she in Italy? Actually, it all seemed suspicious. Why was Avery in Italy just when Grey lookalike was recently sighted in Italy as well?

"Where's he?" Avery inquired.

Maximo looked at Alex, then at Avery. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm looking for David and you know that. I'm sure he's here. Where's he? To get a drink?" Her gaze searched around quickly for Grey.

"David? Who is David?" Alex asked suddenly.

It was at this moment that Avery turned to look at Alex. Her eyes went wide with shock.

Maximo watched these two for a moment before he stood, took Avery's hand, and walked her away.

Maximo pulled her aside. "What are you doing? How did you even find me here?"

Avery was still looking at Alex, even from where she stood. "I know you are a mafia lord but do you seriously roll with someone like Alex?"

Maximo's eyes tightened for a moment. "You know who Alex is?"

Avery sighed and looked up at Maximo. "Who doesn't know who Alex is? He is qu

    Avery huffed. "Seriously? That's your way out?""What other punishment is there for you to mete out?" He stepped out of the car and leaned on it. Because of this, he was standing too close to Avery for comfort. She felt a tinge of emotion at their closeness. She swallowed hard and took a step back."Isn't that the general thing? Employees get fired on a daily basis from coming late to work, especially on the first day," he teased.Avery laughed and threw her car keys at him. "You are driving," she muttered and started the walk away, expecting Grey to follow behind.Grey regarded her for a moment before he locked his car and followed Avery. He quickly sent a message to Maximo, asking for the location of the special members.Avery leaned against her car, waiting for him with a cute frown on her face."Where are we going?""We need to start with finding a nice location for the company. I have two locations in mind already," she explained and got into the passenger's side.Grey got insid

    "Please, I'm begging you. Let me go," she beseeched softly. She was in the same position several minutes later but she couldn't bring herself to adjust. She had never felt so scared in her entire life.Grey regarded her for a moment, and several thoughts slipped in. There were times in their lives when Avery wasn't even scared of him. There were times he wished Avery would respect him as a man, even if it was for a whole day.Grey shook his head briefly. "No, you seemed to have misunderstood me, Avery. I heard that some notable people are staying here for a few days. Since you are just about to create a branch here. How about we get some investors?"Avery stared, still shocked and unable to form a word. She didn't believe him. Grey had been using some mean words and his voice had gotten even thicker as if he was trying to scare her. And well, that went well because Avery was so scared at that moment.Grey nearly laughed at the way Avery was quiet. She seemed so submissive when she wa

    "I'm Grey, let me in. I have something important to inform the special members."The man regarded Grey for another minute as he deliberated on what to do. Be released a sigh. "Alright, let him in," he ordered."But sir," the other man that had recognized Grey stepped forward. "The bosses wouldn't want anyone to disturb them unless they are from the Italian billionaire club.""And we might not be getting from them today. Just search him and let him go inside," he ordered.The man released a sigh and stepped aside, feeling defeated.Two men moved closer to Grey and searched his body. When they were done, they stepped back. The door opened and Grey walked inside after putting back the face mask.The suite was a luxurious one with a big living room and well-furnished furniture that made it look like a home.Two men sat in the living room and were watching the news on the TV. It was one of them that noticed Grey the moment he stepped inside. He regarded Grey for a moment as if trying to se

    Avery had sweaty hands as she waited for the special members. Actually, when one of the men went inside to announce that she was around, Avery had a tiny fear that her proposal might be rejected.Well, it wouldn't matter, she was somehow certain that Grey was going to get Charles' cooperation. He was a mafia lord like Charles anyways. So, it wouldn't be hard to get him on their side.If the special members reject her, it won't be too painful for her.She glanced at the men standing in front of the room and shivered slightly. They were all giving this fearful vibe. In fact, she wasn't as scared as she was at this moment, like when she was with David, even after she knew who David really was. The only time she was scared was when David pulled the prank on her earlier. She felt secure and at peace whenever she was with David. It was as if she had known him for ages.The door opened behind her suddenly and she turned around almost immediately. An older man walked out, with a dark frown on

    The members on the conference call actually heaved a relieved sigh."I'm glad that I'm able to convince you. Is there anything you would need me to do for you?""I think we should end the conference call now," one of the members initiated.The elders on the screen made a nod of the head. Their jobs were done anyways."We have six special members. We just need to convince at least one more, then the position will be yours. That won't be difficult to do," one of the members assured Grey."But I used to think you were the billionaire boss of Jacksonville club until I heard that Giovanni took over and that you were dead."Grey laughed briefly. "As, like I said earlier, Giovanni doesn't know where I am currently. In fact, he doesn't know that we are participating in this contest."There was a nod of the head."I'm sorry but I have to run now. But I will see you again. I can't afford to let anyone know that the Italy billionaire club has connected with you until the announcement day," Grey

    "So, we are done for today," Grey announced. "Or do we still have places to be?""We need employees, at least for important positions in the company. But we will continue that tomorrow. Drive me to the suite and let's call it a day."Grey nodded once and they both walked to the car."I knew I was right to employ you. You seem like my good luck charm," Avery joked.Grey laughed at this. "That's so funny. Do you really think so?""Of course!" Avery grinned. "I got four investors on your first day at work. And these men are notable people. You are really a good luck charm."They both burst out laughing really hard."So, how about dinner tonight?" Avery asked suddenly.Grey glanced at her. "Dinner with me?"Avery nodded once. "Yes, is anything wrong with it?""A lot is wrong. I mean there shouldn't be anything else between us aside from work."Avery sighed. "Come on, David. It's just a dinner to reward you. I am so happy with you today and I just want to compensate you. Would you refuse s

    Avery got to the restaurant five minutes earlier because she had some investigation to do. In fact, she offered to pay the stylist her one month's salary if she could help her identify Grey. The stylist was a citizen of Italy and knew all the mafia lords there or anyone who was in any position in Italy.“Here, stay here. He’s going to come in anytime from now. Just stay focused and identify him for me. Is that alright?”The stylist nodded once. “You don’t have to worry about that actually. I will do this,” she assured as she downed her vodka slowly.Avery released a sigh and moved away from her. She found a nice place to settle in and waited for Derek.It didn’t take up to five minutes when Grey walked inside. Clad in black jeans trousers and a t-shirt, he almost took Avery’s breath away.She knew actually, on the first day that there were a lot of weird things about Derek but she thought it was because he looked so much like Grey. She didn’t want to believe there were more. And even

    When Grey returned home, Aphrodite was already asleep. He regarded her for a moment with a huge smile on his face before he moved closer to her and planted a kiss on her cheek.He walked out of the room again and placed a call to Maximo.Maximo picked it up before the end of the first ringing. “Hi, Grey.”“I was going to discuss the next plan with you, Maximo. As you’ve heard, the special members have decided to work with me. The next thing I’m planning to do is lure Alex back to Jacksonville. Remember what we discussed?”“Very well, but are you going to actually take a plane to Jacksonville?”Grey reasoned it for a moment. “No, it shouldn’t be me. Yet, I have to make it look like it was. Charles will do just fine. But yes, where will the announcement take place? How does it work?”“Well, the place of the announcement is chosen randomly. The place will be communicated soon. At least, by tomorrow.”“This means that the special members will have to leave Italy tomorrow?”Grey nodded onc

    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
