Grey sighed and tried to calm himself. He was getting angry for no reason. He walked towards the bedroom and opened the door slowly.Avery was by the make-up desk and wiping off the make-up from her face."I thought you were not coming today as well," she said as Grey closed the door lightly.Grey groaned and moved towards the closet."Nice to see you too," he responded and got a new pair of clothes. He felt so tired that he thought a bath would help him. "It's not funny that you avoided my calls because of Caramel?" She brought it up.Grey sighed and stopped walking to look behind her. "I'm sure Caramel called to inform you what the whole thing was all about?"Avery fumed and looked back at Grey. " Tell me then where you have been going all this while? And why are you always coming home late?" She bombarded." I got home earlier today, didn't I?" He demanded." Well, you didn't come home at all yesterday," she fired back." And what exactly does that mean to you, Avery? You don't eve
"Happy birthday, my princess!" Emma shouted happily as Avery and Grey stepped out. The couple argued that morning that even Grey wasn't able to wish her a birthday. Meanwhile, he had thought he would give her the ring he got from the auction but Avery was just so stubborn."Never try to act as a boyfriend to anyone, while I'm still your wife!" She had threatened him.They threw tantrums at each other and eventually, Grey decided to forget about Chris, if only it was that easy. "Thank you, Mom," Avery responded with a sweet smile and embraced her mom.There were cakes, pancakes, grilled chicken, and other treats on the table."How are you celebrating your birthday?" Benjamin started after pulling Avery into a bear hug as well. Only Grey didn't get a hug, maybe he would never do. "Dad, I'm going out," Avery announced happily." So, I'm going to enjoy myself," she smiled and pulled out a chair.Grey grunted and took a seat as well." You are stopping by the office right?" Lucy inquir
"Yes!" Avery yelled to his face. "And I'm going to do that again the next time you speak badly of Chris!" She declared, rudely.It looked like Avery didn't even know who Chris was and she was blindly trusting him.Grey scoffed. " So, you are going to disobey your grandfather? What would he do if he discovered it? He gave us the tickets for a reason," he voiced out." Well, it's because we are married," she stretched out her hands dramatically. " Do you think I care about you? Do you?" She took a step closer to him when she realized that some maids were passing by. " You won't tell my grandfather anything, you won't even dare, Grey! Or you will face the wrath!" She swore underneath her breath." Seriously, Avery? Does this have to happen?"" You won't tell him anything," she insisted. "And you won't come home! You can find anywhere to go! I don't care!" She opined in harsh tones." And you think it's going to work?" Grey asked, concerned.Avery sighed noisily, clearly frustrated. "It w
Grey stared at Caramel for a moment. "Your company is Digital world ?" He asked, surprised.Caramel nodded briefly, with a wide smile on her face. "It is.""Wow! Unbelievable! I guess we will see later then," he announced.Caramel nodded. " Though, we might have to change our clothes. We could stop by any boutique on our way to the cinema," she offered." That's good!" Grey opened the door and got down. "We will see later then. Till then."Caramel nodded once. "Till then," she confirmed.Grey watched Caramel drive off before he proceeded into SU world. His second phone rang suddenly. It was the number he gave Charles as Hercules.He didn't want to get confused, so he used a different phone. So, whoever calls him on his iPhone, means the person wanted to speak with Hercules while his other phone was for people that knew him as Grey Fox.Grey knew who it was. He was expecting Seth's call anyways. He refused to pick it up and instead proceeded to his office.Tina stood up on seeing him.
Grey signed the documents and stretched them out to Maria. "You can proceed," he ordered.Maria smiled. "Alright, but I wanted to ask if we could go for lunch together."Grey stared up at her and slowly shook his head. " I'm sorry but I have plans for today. I will be leaving work early as well," he explained.Maria managed a nod. Actually, she felt sad that Grey would be staying away from her. She would have loved to hang around with him."I have an appointment with lotion A tomorrow, and I want you to be present."She nodded slowly. " Alright, Boss. I will leave now," she announced and walked out.Grey relaxed back in his chair. He remembered the diamond ring he got from the auction. He had actually thought of giving Avery for her birthday but he's suddenly having a rethink, not after all she did that morning. She even slapped him because of Chris.A soft knock came on the door suddenly, jerking Grey out of his thoughts."Come in," he offered and Caramel stepped inside, clad in an o
Actually, Caramel got them Louis Vuitton clothes. And she paid for it all. Well, Grey had to pretend to be broke. He still had to hide from Caramel, seeing that she was always so inquisitive.She gasped. "Wow! You look handsome!" She complimented as they walked to the car.Grey rushed to the driver's seat. " I'm driving!"Caramel laughed at this. "No, I will drive please."Grey shook his head. "Allow me to act like a gentleman since this is the only thing I can do well."Caramel laughed and handed him the keys."Do you know that your car costs 55 million dollars?" She asked suddenly after they got inside.Grey pulled to a stop all of a sudden. How the fuck did she know? He tried not to make it known.Grey cleared his throat meaningfully. "I don't really know that."Caramel smiled. "Who would give you such an expensive car? And you claim you don't have money?" Grey started the ignition. "As I've said earlier, it was a present. I've been working everywhere before I married Avery. I've
The music got even louder before Grey would get to the dance floor. It was like someone did it on purpose. Maybe to distract everyone.Caramel uttered something, clearly annoyed and it seemed like the man replied to her because she shut her mouth. Then flared up again and suddenly hit the man in front of her in the face.The man took her hair forcefully, pulling her head backward so that Caramel could look right at him.Everyone minded their business and acted as if they didn't see someone was being assaulted.The man raised a hand to hit Caramel but Grey was fast enough to suspend the hand in the air.Grey recognized the man immediately. It was Don, the man that harassed Avery the other night. He shouldn’t forget that he works for Hercules, for him.“Who are you?” Don seemed not to remember Grey. "What the fuck did you think you are doing?" Grey yelled angrily. He was angry but he had to scream because of the loud music.Don's facial expression took on something that would have scar
Grey walked inside the bathroom, he was so annoyed and he knew that he had no choice but to expose his identity before he actually killed his men.Richard walked inside. "I'm sorry but I don't think you can get Don to leave anything. He's so hard at heart. I will try to speak with him and see how it goes," he explained.Grey regarded him for a moment. " Alfred told me you called him?"Richard was surprised that he was referring to Alfred casually. "Yes, you told me I could.""Why did you think he responded? Why did you think I directed you to him? Who do you think is standing in front of you?" He bombarded him.Richard blinked once, unable to comprehend anything. " Who are you? I mean I know you are very skilled in martial arts and you are caring."Grey took a step forward, a dark frown on his face. "Isn't that obvious? Do I have to explain myself before you grasp? With a call from me," he pulled out his phone. " I will really wipe you not only from this Earth but from Hercules's prot
