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
Grey felt dejected when he got home. Though, the doctor said the eyes could still be repaired but there was no certainty about it.And Grey was pained by it. He would do literally anything for Avery to regain her eyesight but he didn't forget to remind himself that it might all be a failure.Maybe he didn't have to be so concerned. Maybe he merely has to be optimistic about it.He wasn't even able to talk with Avery. Though, he wasn't really planning to. He didn't know what talking to him would do to her. But he wanted to at least know how she was doing at that moment.Well, she would be more devastated, and scared than he was. But_Grey was just being indecisive about it.Aphrodite was coming home the next morning and he had already changed his bandage before coming home with the box that the ex-King of the world gave him.There were a lot of documents there that he had to go through.He picked one of the papers and went through it. There was a list of women he could select as his se
Caramel stood up unconsciously. She was shocked. "Are you for real? I mean does that even make any sense? Grey was buried. I still visited his tomb before we left Jacksonville.""Yes, that's why this was so surprising as well. But the news is a fact. I've just sent word to someone from Jacksonville and they confirmed it. Grey is alive."Caramel felt close to tears. "Seriously? And he's back in Jacksonville?""Yes, he is. I saw him on the news. I'm so happy to see this. It's a relief that he's fine.""Yes," Caramel stifled a sob. "I'm so glad about it.""Alright, I will talk to you later, Caramel. Or maybe we will talk better when I get to your place later in the night," Beatrice explained."Alright Mom," Caramel finished and hung up. She collapsed on the floor and tears streamed down her face. She didn't even know what and how she was supposed to feel.But she felt relieved at least that Grey wasn't dead. The sadness in her heart slowly ebbed away.She sobbed for some minutes on the f
Aphrodite woke up that morning, feeling extra better. Actually, she wanted to leave Grey's house in the meantime because of a lot of things. It looked as though Grey was trying not to be concerned with Avery even though he was. And Avery saw nothing bad in it.And the fact that Avery was in a critical condition made her feel bad. She needed Grey by her side.She got dressed in black long trousers and a white chiffon top. She added a little powder to her face, and a little red lipstick before she walked out of the room.Grey was in the kitchen as if she had already discussed the time she was leaving with him.Though she said she was leaving the next morning, she never mentioned the time."Cooking?" Aphrodite muttered from behind, a wide smile on her face.Grey laughed. "I decided to make something for you to eat. I figured out you came out later on for your cakes. Did you enjoy it?"Aphrodite pursed her lips together as if thinking about the question. Her face was held in a straight f
