"I don't understand you. What did you say just happened to Alex?"The man hesitated, the word suddenly stuck in his throat. "Talk!" He yelled, in anger.The man swallowed harder. "Alex has lost an eye.""What!" Giovanni muttered. Shock kept him motionless for a moment. "What did you say happened to him again?"He couldn't believe what he had just heard. "Where is he? I must see him right this moment!" He muttered.He was filled with rage. Pains ate him deep.He couldn't believe Grey could go so far. Well, he blamed himself. He was too late."I will speak with_," one of the men started but Giovanni cut him off."Place me on a call with the governor," he muttered. "Now!" He yelled when he saw that the men were not making any attempt to heed what he had said. When he yelled, they all hurried out of the room.Giovanni released a forced and restrained sigh. He felt his body shudder with anger. He really was going to deal with Grey for taking Alex's eye.No, he was going to take Grey's e
The governor of the FBI couldn't believe his ears. He found it amusing more than he found it surprising.There was no way he would have expected it. How could Alex be having a loss of memory?"So, how soon will he regain his memory?"The doctor sighed. "We are not sure yet. We will need to observe him some more to conclude that. So, for now, I might say you should leave him at the hospital. It's for his health," he explained.The governor nodded once and stretched out his hand for a handshake. "Thank you, doctor," he expressed with a smile.His phone rang as he stepped out of the hospital. It was one of the FBI agents, his junior.He picked it up. "Hello. Is something wrong?""Yes, governor. Giovanni is here to see you and he has refused to leave until he does so," he explained.The governor groaned inwardly. "Alright, I will be there," he announced and hung up.He dialed Grey's number. It rang several times but he didn't pick it up. He dropped it, having it at the back of his mind th
Yet again, Giovanni was caught off guard. Though, he was at first skeptical because there was no way the Governor would have gotten a piece of evidence against him but how could he have thought he wasn't actually recording it, and that he had no tangible evidence at first?"You don't believe it?" The governor chuckled and pulled out a recorder. Giovanni regarded the recorder for a long time, different thoughts colliding in his mind in a sort of crazy confusion.The governor pressed some buttons on it and Giovanni's voice resurfaced. He let it run for a few minutes before he paused it.He looked up at Giovanni. "Do you believe now that there's nowhere for you to run to?"Giovanni huffed. "There will always be a way out, Jason. My eyes are on you," he muttered and stood."You can't actually stop Alex from being convicted," the governor said suddenly and looked up. "Alex won't be able to escape being convicted for murder. And if you are not careful, he will spend the rest of his life in
At Protos Pubblicita, one of the workers moved aside to call one of her friends."Hello, can you hear me," she whispered as if she was scared everyone in Protos Pubblicita was going to hear. "Hercules is on his way, like I've heard.""Seriously," the voice on the other side responded with excitement. "How did you know this? Are you sure the information is genuine and can be trusted?""Of course. I heard Miss Maria's assistant talking about it on the phone. It's definitely right. You don't want to miss this. You do that Hercules rarely comes to work and you know he just badged a new position. You should hurry up before other reporters find out," she suggested."Yes! Thank you for informing me. I will be on my way," she assured and the line went off.She adjusted herself, just as the elevator door opened and Maria walked out with the other staff.She smiled and hurried to join the rest. Apparently, Hercules had arrived and they were all going to meet him.Grey stepped inside, with Charl
"Nice idea," Charles applauded.Grey smiled softly. "I know," he nodded slightly and looked up at Maria. "If the reporters are hell-bent on not leaving, tell them the latest update. Grey isn't who they think he is. He’s currently going to be the new VP. That should give them the time they need. That should settle the news” Grey suggested.Maria nodded briefly. “I will do that immediately, sir.”Grey smiled at her. “Good. Get me the files of this company. I need to get updated.""Alright boss," Maria responded, bowed slightly, and eventually walked out of the office.Grey looked up at Jimmy. “How is your friend doing by the way?”“Actually, he would like to speak with you. But he's doing fine now,” he revealed.Grey nodded once. “Is everything alright?”“Yes, boss. I guess he has some decision-making to do. You should hear from him yourself,” he advised.Grey nodded once in agreement and looked at Charles. “I will be seeing the two ladies today. I'm leaving for my estate today, after w
"That's alright," Grey muttered. "I will have the interview tomorrow," he concluded. Maria nodded once. "Do you want me to get all the company files or would you prefer to resume work tomorrow? Since you will be starting as VP."Grey thought for a moment. "Tomorrow then. I have a lot to do today anyway. So, I will be leaving early."Maria nodded again. "Least I forget, do you want us to have a little party? Which is normal for you as the new VP but since you are the Hercules, I don't know how you will react to it.""Well, a party sounds cool," Charles uttered."I will go with the party because, to the world, I'm just Grey. It wouldn't be nice if we didn't follow the protocol. So, yes, a party is ok."Maria pulled out her tablet and went through it for a moment. "Tomorrow afternoon then.""Afternoon is fine, I will be leaving immediately after the party. I have to be in Italy," he announced."Alright boss. I will start preparing for it. Is there anything you want?"Grey shook his head
Jimmy pulled into Grey’s estate.Charles hurried down and moved into the house. Grey and Jimmy moved inside behind him.Cynthia and Tiana were already waiting when Grey walked inside.The two girls stood up in greeting. Cynthia still had fear written all over her face as she beheld Grey. She couldn’t get the image of Grey covered in blood from her head.She clung to Tiana for support.“It’s ok,” Tiana assured. She wasn’t at all scared of Hercules. He was the one that saved them after all.Grey nodded once. “How have you been doing?”“Fine boss,” Tiana responded for the both of them.“Ok,” Grey muttered and sat. He gestured for the ladies to do the same. “I don’t know if Charles has briefed you about our meetings today.”Tiana shook her head briefly. “But I know it’s about what Richard was testing on us before you rescued us.”Grey nodded once, with a little smile “Exactly. I’m unable to decipher what the book we saw is all about. And Charles said you might have something for me. Is th
Grey got up early the next morning with a slight headache.He managed to get himself prepared for work. There was going to be a party in the afternoon. So, he got himself a blue tuxedo.The door opened suddenly and Charles walked inside. "Should I make something for you? Or what are you eating this morning?"Grey laughed. "You are not my cook.""But that doesn't mean I can't make you something very fast. You need to eat something before going to work or maybe you can take something when you get to the company," Charles explained.Grey laughed and moved to the mirror angle. He did his tie slowly. "You can't even cook. When was the last time you cooked?"Charles laughed. "I'm a lot better, Grey. You should taste my food in one of these days.""And why_," he started and turned to look at him. "Why the fuck will I even let you cook for me? No, I would rather get something when I get to Protos Pubblicita or perhaps make the food myself."Charles grinned. "I can make it better than you do."
