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
"Please," Avery said softly, her voice sounding as desperate as ever. Grey had never heard her sound like that. He had to succumb. "Alright, I will see what I can do about it," he assured. There was a few minutes of silence. "You promised?" Grey found himself smiling. "Ok, I promise. I will." "Alright, later then," she muttered and hung up. Grey placed a call to Charles. He hadn't heard anything from him since morning and he was supposed to be in Jacksonville already. Charles picked it up immediately. "Hello, Grey. I and Aphrodite just arrived in Jacksonville. I will meet up with Alfred and Gregory so we can go on with our plan," he muttered. Grey nodded once. "Alright, tell Aphrodite to stay alarmed. When Jimmy tries his best to help me eliminate the security problem, he might need help with sending my suit inside. So, she could help him." "Alright, I heard that," Aphrodite responded. “But who is Jimmy? I thought Jimmy died already.” “Yes. This Jimmy is the man from Giovanni
Within minutes, Grey was already clad in the blue suit. "You can go inside immediately. The men wouldn't notice," Jimmy muttered. Grey nodded once. "I will be expecting you very soon. Jimmy nodded once. "Alright boss." Grey walked out from hiding and moved towards the door. Truly, no one stopped him as they thought he was one of them. But when he got to the main door, he discovered that there were other security guards. And they were dressed in a tuxedo. It was as if it was planned. Grey bowed slightly so that they wouldn't be able to see his face, even though he has glasses on. "Is everything wrong? Why aren't you at the garage?" "There's something I need to tell the boss. That's why I'm here." The man regarded Grey for a moment. "I'm sorry but I can't let you in. The boss didn't give me the order to let any man unverified inside." "I'm not unverified. I work for him. I just need to give him some information. Jimmy is around and he wants me to pass some information to him. I
Maximo and the rest of the elders got to the entrance but they weren't allowed to enter. Charles had already arrived with some of his men as well.So, Grey's men and Maximo's men came together to fight Giovanni's men.Jimmy hadn't shown up and Grey was still waiting in the restroom. And the special was about to announce the King of the world."Where is Grey?" Dante required.Maximo didn't reply as he dialled Grey's number. Grey picked it up immediately. "Hi, Grey. Where are you?""I'm in the restroom. I'm waiting for Jimmy or Aphrodite to come with my clothes.""Damn! You have to be fast. I just received a piece of information that the announcement for the king of the world is happening now. You have to enter the hall.""Find me Aphrodite. I can't leave this place. Find her and get my clothes. That's the only way out," he informed and the line went off."Is everything alright?" Enzo asked.Maximo turned to them. "Grey is already inside but he needs to change so he can enter the hall."
"He's dead, do these special members know what they are doing?" Someone voiced out."Yes, Hercules is dead or is there something we don't know?"Even the members have started to blame themselves. They had no idea where Grey was and they knew the repercussions. They didn't want to fail in two places. Giovanni was obviously going to make sure they pay because they didn't choose him. If Grey was alive, it would balance everything.Suddenly, someone shouted. "He's alive!" The lady gestured ahead at the entrance.Everyone followed the path and they soon froze when they saw Hercules walking towards the podium.Grey was clad in Dormeiul Vanquish Ii Suit and there was a black mask on his face.The special members smiled softly at this. They were glad that Grey showed up.Giovanni couldn't believe his eyes. In fact, he grew red with anger. How could Hercules still be alive? It was just so impossible."Hercules is this year's King of the world!" James announced again.A round of applause ensued
It was as if Grey wasn't really interested in her and it hurt greatly to see that.But it didn't matter to her again. She just wanted the dance and she was going to get it.Avery took another step closer to him, moving too close for comfort.Such movement amused Grey because he didn't know that Avery knew he was Grey. But he knew what she wanted and thought he could at least give her that since Aphrodite wasn't available.So, he stretched out towards her and waited.Avery hesitated, as if just seeing the consequences of her action and wanting to make a rethink but it was too late. She took it.She felt an electric sort of thing as she took it and they started dancing.Though, she felt like he was a bit different, just like he was when she met him in Italy. He seemed to command authority. The aura of authority and fear that hovered around him was not what she was associated with. But she loved it."Hercules doesn't talk to the lady he's dancing with?" Avery teased.Hercules regarded he
Avery met him with Maximo in Italy. And then, she was there at the announcement party.That aside, she even danced with him?"Alex stared with eyes gone wide at the tv. In fact, the news was being broadcast at that moment. Hercules was the King of the World. His other name was Grey. And in fact, there were pictures of him and Avery together.He had to put 4 and 5 together very fast. He realised that Avery does know that Hercules was Grey. In fact, she and Hercules could have been together that night that he saw her again. Perhaps, she even had to distract him so that Grey could leave.Alex's head banged so much at this. The realisation made him so angry.But he knew what he had to do, even if he was going back to the prison thanks to Grey.There was a secret hideout in his room. He moved closer to his shelf and opened the door.He got inside, just as the main door opened and the police rushed inside."Mr. Alex?" One of them called, and Alex heard before the door closed, shutting the
