Charles pulled back slowly and wiped off the tears on Aurora's face. "It's going to be alright," he assured with a smile. Aurora nodded once. "Thank you." Charles nodded once. "Can we hurry up and finish up? There's actually a business I need to attend to. But I will make it up to you later," he promised. Aurora nodded once. "Alright, should we go now?" Charles shook his head briefly. "Let's have a few minutes of dinner. I'm still taking you sightseeing, remember? We can go anywhere you want." Aurora smiled. "Alright, I won't forget." Within a few minutes, Charles and Aurora stepped out after Charles has settled the bill. Charles made a joke and Aurora found herself laughing so hard, forgetting there was any problem in the world. "Can I drop you off?" Charles asked suddenly. Aurora released a sigh. "We were actually not able to sit very well for tonight. So, I would like us to take a walk instead. That is if you don't mind because you would have to leave your car here." Charl
The blood drained off Charles' face at the realisation. The first thing that came to his mind was tracking the phone before they discovered there was a tracking device on it.Charles had to pick a race back to the restaurant. When he finally got to the car, he checked the location and realised that the phone was on another street.What was so surprising was the fact that it wasn't going towards Giovanni's house.And Charles had to wonder what was really wrong. Or could the kidnappers have been Alex? Maybe he already caught him and thought of a way to make him pay.But Charles planned to treat his fuck up if truly that was what happened. He wouldn't let any of them go scot-free if they harm even a hair on Aurora.He pressed on the accelerator, driving as fast as he could.Fuck! The next day was the announcement day already. And Charles wondered what Alex and Giovanni were planning.His head banged at the thought of it and he couldn't stop blaming himself. He regretted letting Aurora ou
"What did you say just happened? I don't understand," Giovanni muttered.He wasn't at home the day before and only got home a few hours ago.Alex felt the matter was more important than for him to discuss with him on the phone. So, he waited for him. And he hasn't heard anything from his men, which means that they haven't found the man that looked like Grey. And he was bothered. So, he had to inform Giovanni In case there was something he could do about it. The announcement day was fast approaching already and there was no way they could cancel it. It wasn't even possible as Giovanni wasn't part of the special members."Yes, that's what I was told. And when I got to the airport, I saw him. He had a mask on. A mask that Grey used," Alex explained.Giovanni regarded Alex for a moment. "Are you saying there's a possibility that Grey is alive?"Alex shivered at this. "This is definitely not possible. I mean you really confirmed the bomb. In fact, his car exploded and two corpses were fo
Richard turned to grab his injection. "Please, have mercy on me. Please, don't test anything on me," a man that was trapped at the lab table pleaded as Richard injected him.He regarded the man for a moment. He smiled softly. "Looks like I'm on it."The man suddenly started shuddering and gasping for air.Richard sighed, disappointed. "A failure again. Get me another test object," he muttered."Boss, a male or female?" One of the men asked, with confusion."I don't care! Just get me one test object!" He yelled and the man rushed out.Richard was fuming with rage at the failure of his test again. He wondered when he was eventually going to succeed. He has prolonged things too much that got Giovanni angry at him.But he thought the recipe was going to make things easy for him. But that wasn't the case. He has been failing, except for the first two steps that seemed to have succeeded on one of the test subjects.Gunshots were heard from outside suddenly. Richard stepped back, alarmed.
Aurora hugged Charles so tight. She was so happy that he came for her. Well, she knew that he would.Charles pulled back after a while and looked at her. "Are you ok? I hope they didn't touch you?"Aurora smiled and nodded quickly. She looked back briefly, at the new friends she just made.The men with Charles were going into the rooms and releasing all the people in them.Tiana and her friend walked out to Aurora. "See? I told you that someone was going to come up for me," Aurora jubilated.Tiana nodded once and looked at the other girl. "You can leave now, you are saved," she assured with a smile."What about you?"Tiana shrugged briefly. "I don't know. Maybe I'm going to stay and wait for one of them to come back for me."Aurora was alarmed. "What do you mean? Why can't you come with us? Where are your families? Your parents? Or siblings?"Tiana shook her head briefly. "I have none. Besides, the doctor has already tried two of his drugs on me. Would I really be the same if I leave
Giovanni, Alex, and his men got to Richard's house.He saw the corpses laying around and he went red with anger. "Who the fuck did this?" He yelled."I will check around for anyone," one of the men told Giovanni and hurried inside with some of the men."Where's Richard? Find him!" Giovanni muttered.Several men rushed inside again.Giovanni entered the main lab room. His gaze searched around quickly before he rushed toward the table where several syringes were.He searched for the tablet but didn't see it. His mind made a sudden thud at the fact staring right at him. Could the attacker have taken both Richard and the tablet?"What are you looking for, father?""The recipe. I mean no one would go for the recipe unless they know its usefulness. Asides, who would do something like that?""And are you sure it wasn't Richard? He could be trying to play smart with you. You did tell me he had been struggling with the steps. What if he had figured it out and had to stage this because he didn'
Avery knew that she had to do something and it had to be very fast. Alex wasn't supposed to see Grey at that moment.She looked at Grey. "Can we leave now?"Though, she knew that wasn't going to be easy. Leaving would mean Alex seeing Grey and that was what she wanted to avoid.Grey raised confused brows. "But we just got here. Why do you want us to leave? I've already ordered something for us to drink and chew on. Is there something else wrong?" He was skeptical.Avery bent suddenly, "I think I'm having pains in my tummy," she lied and feigned pain. "I think we need to leave this instance," she looked ahead of him, at Alex who was currently speaking to an unknown man in the club.Grey saw this and followed the path of her gaze. He was quick to look away just as Alex looked over to their side.Grey's heart made a sudden thud at this. What the fuck was Alex doing in his club? Actually, he thought Megaphone Attitude would be the safest for him. Why would Alex come to his club?And Avery
“So, have you settled with the barman?” Avery asked as she got inside the car beside Grey.Grey nodded once. “What were you discussing with Alex?”Avery regarded him for a moment. “You know who Alex is?” she feigned surprise.“I thought I told you I was a mafia lord. Why won't I know the likes of Alex?” he grunted and started the ignition.Avery laughed. “Great, I'm glad you know a lot of people. It's really going to help my business.”Grey grunted and pulled the car out of the park and into the street. “Which hospital would you like us to go to? And how do you feel now?”“Well, let's check out another club because I currently feel very good.”Grey couldn't believe it. “What?”“Yes, I suddenly feel better. It's a miracle, isn't it? Let's find a nice club to go to. Maybe a club owned by Alfred.”Grey glanced at her. “Oh, you knew clubs owned by Alfred. Apparently, you knew that Megaphone Attitude belonged to Hercules?”“Yes,” Avery smiled briefly. “The dead Hercules.”Grey was a bit su
