Grey's phone rang suddenly. It was Douglas. He turned away from the room and picked up the call. "Hello, Douglas." "Hello, Hercules. There's someone that wants to speak with you. The director of the FBI," he revealed. Grey hesitated for a moment. "Alright, if he's near, place him on the phone." "He's here. I will give him the phone then," he said and then, there was a few minutes of silence. "Hello Hercules," a different voice boomed. "It's Jason." "Good day, Jason. Is there anything I can do for you?" "Actually, no. I'm the one at your beck and call. You can contact me if you need my assistance and I will come instantly without questions. Besides, I'm the head of the police in Jacksonville." Grey thought for a moment and actually burst into a cool smile. This was what the special members meant by the power that he was going to have as the king of the world. They get to know people from high positions. And knowing them would give them access to various places. It was definitel
In less than four hours, the elders were in Grey's estate except for Aphrodite.Aurora refused to leave just yet, so Charles had to put her away in one of Grey's rooms."So, have you thought of a perfect way to bring Giovanni down?" Gregory asked.Grey sat well. "Not yet, but I need your help to teach Alex a lesson. I know I said I didn't want Alex to die before Giovanni but that doesn't mean I won't deal with him for what he has done to me.""This meeting is about Alex?" Jayden inquired.Charles nodded once. "it is. Apparently, he's still upset about what had happened so far and still wants to get back at him after you had stopped him."Gregory nodded once. "So, what is this whole thing about? What is the plan?""I need to get Alex out of prison. I need to be the one to teach him a lesson.""How do we do that? Giovanni controls almost 80% of the police. There's no way we can pass them even though we have some spies amidst them," Gregory explained."Well, fortunately for us, I have go
Giovanni looked up for a moment, a dark frown on his face. "Speak," he ordered."We've literally searched everywhere in the city but we can't find Richard," the man revealed, with a little fear.Giovanni grunted. He didn't even know how he was supposed to feel. In fact, he couldn't even inform his elders about it because what Richard was doing was top secret.But at the stage that he currently was, knowing fully well that it was Grey that took Richard, Giovanni was ready to do all it takes to get him back.And that was the main reason why he brought forth the secretary's plan. The Secretary would be ae to reach a part in Grey's life and so, help Richard escape.Though, he had no idea what had happened to Richard or what Grey had discovered so far.Fuck! If Grey used the weapon against him, it won't be good at all.Even though Richard was yet to even discover the perfect steps for the recipe, he was still worried. Grey was a very intelligent guy. It won't be difficult for him.Though,
Grey reasoned it for a moment and stood. "There's only a way to find out. You guys can go in now. I will get back to you later," he assured.Cynthia and Mercy bowed slightly and walked inside.Grey glanced down at his wristwatch. He needed to leave immediately so that he could catch up with Aphrodite.Just as he stepped out, he noticed a figure leaning on his car. He moved closer nonetheless, only to realise it was Aurora."Aurora," he called softly but no answer came. "Aurora," he called again and she jerked up. Grey regarded her for a moment. "What are you thinking of? Are you alright?"Aurora released a sigh and managed a smile. "I'm fine. I just had a lot to think of. And I want to discuss something very important with you."Grey watched her for a moment. "What happened to you?" Aurora released another sigh. "I don't know how this is going to be but I still think I need to speak to you. You and Charles are close like brothers. So, I just feel it wouldn't matter."Grey moved to st
Grey and Aphrodite stepped inside. They quickly found their way to the secured corner, without anyone noticing them.The place they were, made it easier to look down as the others dine a few feet below them."This location is cool," Aphrodite complimented as Grey beckoned the waitress over."Good evening, what would you like to get?" She stretched the menu over to Grey and Aphrodite.They took it and went through it quickly."Get me a nice red wine, perhaps the most expensive one," Grey started. "And spaghetti Bolognese and fried chicken.""Alright," the waitress nodded once and took the menu from Grey. She looked at Aphrodite, expecting her answer."You know what," Aphrodite sighed and stretched out the menu to the waitress. "I will just have Spaghetti Bolognese and fried chicken as well.""Alright, on it," the waitress took the menu and walked away."There is a lot of food here that I get confused sometimes.""What do you order here whenever you come here?""Well, sometimes, I take
Grey was taken aback. "What do you mean by no way?" The security guard looked at Grey again and did a mental check. "This car can never be yours. There's no way it's yours."The statement upset Grey. "How can you say such a thing? Why would you even say something like that? How can you say my car isn't mine?""Because it cant be. This is Bugatti La Voiture Noire. It is worth 13.4 million dollars. There's no way you can afford such a car unless you want to steal it."Aphrodite was shocked. "What?""This car is mine. I gave the key to the security guard I met here when I came. How can I be lying about that?"The security guard had a wide smile on his face. He didn't believe Grey could be the real owner of the car. Though Grey was dressed attractively, the guard just thought he wasn't really dressed for the worth of the car. "You had better leave at this moment before I call the police," he warned.Grey scoffed. "I need to see the manager. I really need to because there's no way I will
Alex awoke with a sense of doom. His senses rushed in quickly.He opened his eyes briefly but all he saw were rays of light. He closed them back quickly.He mentally counted from 1-3 before he opened them again. At this time, he could see his surroundings very clearly.He was in a room. A nice one at that. But he had no idea how he got there. It felt as though his head was blank.His head hurts a lot suddenly as if he had banged it hard on something.Everything still looks dizzy to him, even his thoughts.He tried to sit but realised he had been bound to a chair. He struggled for a moment as if the ropes would go loose on their own.After several minutes of trying, he stopped struggling and tried to think of what he was doing in the room and how he even got in.Then it came at him at once. He remembered eating hamburgers at the prison. There was Kingpie, a man he just met sitting in front of him as if they were old friends.Then, he remembered how he started feeling weak and dizzy. An
"You do know how my father can be. If you kill me, you know what my father would do. It wouldn't matter. He would search through every corner for you."Grey laughed briefly. " I'm not scared of your father. If I was, I wouldn't have brought you here in the first place but_," he hesitated for a few minutes as he regarded him. "But I don't plan on killing you, Alex. "I didn't bring you here to kill you. As I said, even if you close your eyes this instant, I will have people to wake you up.""What?" Alex was shocked."Death is far too cheap for you, Alex. You wouldn't know the gravity of what you have done. Instead, I will show you," he smirked.Alex suppressed a shiver."Mind you, you are in my estate. You can scream as you like and no one will hear you talk more of coming over to save you from me."Alex's heart made a sudden thud. "That's a lie! My father will find me! He will!" He repeated as if merely trying to convince himself.Grey took the gun again and moved closer to Alex. "You
