After breakfast, Avery and Lucy went to LX corporation. Emma and Benjamin also went out, not after informing Grey to do the dishes.

They had maids and he doesn't know why he had to go through the stress. He did it anyway.

His phone rang suddenly as he stepped inside the living room. The maids walked past the phone but didn't even bother helping him.

They walked past him and didn't greet him but he shuddered it off.

It was Alfred that was calling. He picked it up immediately.

"Hi, Alfred," he smiled and whirled around to go back to the bedroom.

"Good morning, Hercules. How are you feeling today?"

"Fine. I told you I would be better, didn't I?" He laughed.

He barely took two steps forward when the doorbell sounded. He stopped in his tracks and turned around, towards the door again.

"I'm glad you are getting better. You should rest very well. Nothing must happen to you," he declared.

Grey nodded. " I will be fine."

" Alright but I'm going to tell the elders this. We will take action soo

    Caramel looked up at Grey and he feared what she was going to ask him. Caramel was someone Grey should avoid because she was too inquisitive. But what could he do after his wife had given her permission to take him anywhere. "Let's go," she announced suddenly, startling Grey for another moment. Though, he wondered how someone with his kind of car could be at the event. Grey hadn't seen a car like his since he brought it. Well, only three were produced as he had heard from the girls. They stepped inside the spacious hall, with marble floors and gym machines scattered abroad. A lot of people were around already and checking out the new machines. "What can you do here? Which one will you like to try first? " Caramel asked to clear the air around them. Grey's gaze searched around slowly, as he gave each machine deep scrutiny. He loved to go to the gym when he was so young that it wasn't even surprising that he had four sets of abs when he was fourteen. It was what his father want

    When Grey turned around, there was no one behind him and there seemed to be a silent retreat of steps. When he walked out, Liam rushed out of the building.

Grey opened his eyes to look at Avery. "Good morning," he mumbled. Avery was applying a final touch on her makeup. "Tell me, Grey, where do you work? And what position do you hold?" Grey blinked once, at her questions. "SU world and I'm the manager," he got out of bed. "So," she turned to look at him. "You influenced Mr. Alfred to make you a manager? Nice one, Grey. It seems like you are really desperate!" Grey sighed. "I don't know what you are talking about. I'm only anxious to get to work," and he walked inside the bathroom. When he walked out, Avery wasn't in anymore. He got dressed and hurried out. The family was just having breakfast when he worked out. Tho

    Grey stared down at the picture on Avery's phone. It was the image of when he was speaking to her and had his hand on her shoulders. And there were more pictures. It looks like whoever had sent the images really did a great job taking every shot. Grey looked up at Avery and raised skeptical brows. "Is there more to the picture?" His voice was calm and he didn't seem bothered by it. Avery scoffed. "No, you tell me, Grey. Why is Caramel your girlfriend for the party?" Grey sighed. " I have no idea what you are talking about because as far as I'm concerned, you gave Caramel the permission to take me out, even without discussing it with me," he took a step closer and placed the phone in her hands. "I don't really have time for this. I need to get to work as fast as possible." Avery felt a quick rush of adrenaline and a stab of annoyance. "You are not going anywhere, Grey. We are not done talking," she complained with an expression as hard as a rock. " I said Caramel could take you out

He might have to visit any of Hercules' stores later on. Not that he doesn't have the money obviously, it was something that he wanted to enjoy. Even though he doesn't know if the relationship between him and Avery will get better by then. Her birthday was just in a week. Grey pulled the small iron box to himself.

" It also includes the materials we brought on Monday. That aside, the engineers were able to gather 20 surveillance cameras yesterday," she announced." Wow!" Grey felt impressed. " That's great. If they could come up with 20 more today or perhaps double their hustle and come up with 30. We will be able to deliver tomorrow," he observed." Yes," Maria nodded briefly. " Though, we could deliver by 2'oclock tomorrow afternoon. So, even if they didn't finish it today. They could round it off tomorrow before we leave for delivery."Grey thought about it briefly and gave a short nod of his head. " Nice, I

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

    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,

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
