"Where can Jimmy be?" Charles questioned. "Or could he have betrayed you?"Grey reasoned it for a moment. "I doubt it. It can't be. Jimmy will not betray me."Charles sighed. "You can never be sure of that. Perhaps, he was the cause of what had happened to Aphrodite.""He's not, Charles. I've seen the camera. Jimmy didn't even enter the building.""Alright, so where can he be?""He's obviously with Giovanni. If he is, then damn!" He released a sigh. "I have to get him back.""You will not, Grey. You will let him be. He's gone for good.""No, Charles. I have to get him back. He's one of my men now. So, I have to protect him.""But boss, you can't enter Hercules's base now. It's very dangerous.""Not today, Charles. I will think of something. Call me when Aphrodite wakes up.""Alright boss. Are you really alright?"Grey released a sigh. "I'm fine. I will talk to you later," he finished and hung up.Then, he remembered what he had promised Alfred at the party. He was going to think about
Maria sensed the stiffness in the air when she entered the company. The workers all dispersed but it actually looked like they were murmuring about something in secret.Maria ignored them and walked into the restroom. A few minutes later, she heard several footsteps moving closer. They seemed to have stopped in front of the mirror fastened to the wall."What was that all about?" A feminine voice said suddenly."Sincerely? I have no idea. I mean how could that have happened?" A different voice seemed to lament."I can't believe it actually," there was a hesitation. "Do you think I've met him as well? And perhaps I've spoken badly to him.""Yes, perhaps you are going to lose your job soon. You did know that you have a loose mouth.""Oh my!" There was a soft exclamation. "But come to think of it, we should be able to discover who the person really is. I mean the news did say it was Grey Fox. We just needed to find the Grey Fox that works in this company. It shouldn't be that hard," the
"We are leaving immediately! Find a way to distract them so that I can safely escape," Grey ordered.The man nodded and walked out.Grey looked at the unconscious Avery. Maybe he was selfish but he didn't even reason calling her parent over. His phone rang suddenly. It was Maria.Grey got off the bed and took his shirt. He walked out of the room before he picked up the call."Hello boss," Maria's voice boomed from the other line.Just as Grey moved to his right side, Avery's parents and one of Grey's men walked past him, towards Avery's room. It turned out that the man intentionally misled them into going elsewhere."Is everything alright, Maria? How is the public taking the news?" He inquired, as he managed to wear his shirt."Well, I have a bad news."Grey hesitated before he entered the elevator. There was no one in the elevator with him. "Did something happen? The public didn't accept the explanation?""No, boss. That's not the case. Someone published something about you, an hou
She blinked once, then twice. She heard everything actually, the fact that Grey has a soft spot for his ex-wife and well, for Caramel.Well, she knew that Grey didn't leave Caramel willingly. If Caramel wasn't so unbending, Grey wouldn't let her go.But Aphrodite didn't mind. Grey was Hercules. In fact, it was normal for mafia bosses to have a lot of women. There was nothing bad about it. In fact, she wasn't going to be mad if Grey ends up dating all three of them, as long as he doesn't stop loving her. She was only concerned about staying with Grey. It was either Grey or no one.The thing was that Grey was different."What do you mean? Avery might die?"Grey sighed. " Sincerely, I'm so scared. I will never forgive myself if something happened to her. It was my fault that she got shot. And damn, it was in the head."Charles released an exasperated sigh. "She passed the difficult stage already, let's hope she gets better."Grey regarded him for a moment. "She hasn't. The doctor said s
Grey didn’t want it to look weird, so he didn’t walk inside and instead decided to continue eavesdropping until Aphrodite was done talking.“But how did you discover this? You’ve been unconscious since the night of the announcement and I don’t remember anyone discussing it around you.”Aphrodite nodded once. “I know. But it doesn’t really matter how I came about it. I’m just concerned about Avery. I hope nothing happens to her.”Charles released a sigh. “Grey is not like other mafia bosses. He has a great heart. He’s only concerned with Avery. I don’t think he’s ever going to give saying Avery a chance. His marriage with her was under circumstances and it ended in a bad way,” he explained.Aphrodite scoffed. “Maybe but well, I’m not concerned about that. I just want to make sure that Avery is fine.”Charles nodded once. “I will ask about how she is doing from Grey,” he assured.Aphrodite smiled at this. "Thank you. So, what about Alex and Giovanni?""Well, Alex has been taken. Grey pr
Jimmy regarded the man in front of him for a while. "What did you say?""You heard me well, Jimmy. I have no plan on repeating myself."Jimmy looked away. He was lost for a moment. He had known Mark since he started working for Giovanni. So, they have been together for a while. As much as he was loyal to Grey, he didn't want to give up Mark's life."Aren't you going to answer? Well, I will give you some minutes to think about it. If not, I will help you choose. And do you know what that means?" He laughed. "Mark will die," he finished and walked out of the room.Jimmy released a sigh. Has Grey forgotten about him already? Jimmy couldn't help but think about it..Grey released a sigh and looked up again. His phone rang suddenly, it was one of his men.He picked it up. "Hello?""Yes boss, Giovanni just moved out with the men," he informed him.Grey nodded once. "We are coming over immediately," he finished and hung up. "Take off," he ordered.One of the men bowed slightly and hurried
Grey had to go back home with Jimmy and Mark. Though, he didn't say a word to Mark or try to stop Jimmy from bringing Mark along.Infact, he didn't even create space for Jimmy to talk to him concerning the matter.He got changed and walked out of the room again. He needed to hurry up and meet with the special members."Boss," one of the men moved closer to him.Grey regarded him for a moment. "Just take care of the men. I will be back very soon," he assured and walked out of the house.He entered the car and relaxed. He released a sigh of relief before he pulled out of the garage.He arrived at the suites in a few minutes. He knew where the meeting was happening, so he went there directly.There were three men standing guard outside the door. They bowed slightly on sighting him.Grey walked inside. He hesitated slightly as he regarded the men for a moment."Why will the big Giovanni come to see the members so late in the night," Grey said suddenly, drawing attention to him.Everyone l
"Miss Avery has woken up," the doctor announced. Grey went mute for a moment. "Seriously?""Yes, she is. I had to call you immediately, though she's taking a nap currently but she's successfully out of the coma," the doctor explained.Grey released a sigh of relief. "Thank you so much, Doctor. I will see you when I come around," he assured."Alright, Mr. Grey. Talk to you later," he muttered and the line went off.Grey dropped the car and a wide smile spread across his face. He was so happy about the news. He didn't expect Avery to leave the coma so soon. He was overjoyed about it."Is everything alright?"Grey nodded once. "Yes, everything is fine. Let's toast to the great future ahead."They all burst out laughing..Grey got to the hospital so early the next day because he wanted to see Avery and be assured that everything was alright.And he also wanted to see the doctor and make sure everything was alright with her. So, he was still scared somehow because of the impairment that
