Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate

Chapter 281: Break up!

Grey made to move but Aphrodite stopped him quickly." Where are you going?”

Grey looked at her. "I have someone to see at this very moment," he said hurriedly and walked past her

while Alfred said the last words before the men continued with jubilation.

Aphrodite regarded him for a moment until he disappeared. She saw her anyway. She knew that Grey's

new girlfriend was invited on the ship.

Grey walked out in a hurry to look for Caramel. The ship had already taken up. So there was no way

she would get off. She could have been taken aback by the revelation, surprised, and had hidden

somewhere.

"Caramel!" He called suddenly, then hesitated when he saw her from afar staring out into the water. It

was getting darker slowly and the ship had already been turned around.

Grey let out a sigh before he moved nearer to her. He wondered what was going on in her head or how

he was supposed to start his conversation with her.

Caramel jumped up as Grey touched her. She looked up at him with surprise written all over her face.

"Caramel," he called again but she recoiled in fear. "Please," she trembled in fear as if she just saw a

ghost. She had a lot going on in her head.

"Caramel!" Grey called again but softly. "It’s me, Grey," he tried to hold her hands again and

succeeded.

Caramel was too shocked by the revelation that her mind was totally troubled. She couldn't have

imagined that Grey was Hercules. The line was too far stretched. But at that moment, it looked like

everything was happening faster than she could think.

She could have made a guess for it but it was too impossible to be true. Like Grey spoke to Don with

some kind of power and he got a tattoo too. He was also close to Alfred. The facts were staring right at

her but she couldn't even guess it. Well, who would have thought the poor son-in- law that got divorced

because he had no money was Hercules?

"You were Hercules?" She said slowly with a little quaver.

Grey didn't know how to answer the question. So, he kept mute. He expected her to ask more

questions anyways.

Even though he knew what would happen, he still went ahead with letting her know who he really was.

Well, something was bent to happen no matter what. Caramel was Beatrice's daughter. Sooner or later,

she would find out, not even when she puts her mind to it. Caramel has been able to stop the search

because of Grey. She would have found out about the truth earlier if she hadn't.

'You were the one I danced with at the billionaire club?" She hesitated and took a deep breath as if she

was trying to convince herself. "You gave me the job? You were the one under the mask all this time?"

She still couldn't believe it.

"Calm down, Caramel."

Caramel regarded him for another moment. "Is that why Alex was trying to get a DNA test? If I had

given him the real hair, he would have been aware you were Hercules," the question sounded weird to

her ears but it was the right one.

It was the reason why he was after Alex as well.

But that aside, Caramel couldn't accept the fact that Grey was actually Hercules and he owned almost

anything in the city. Hercules was literally one of the richest men in the city.

But he never acted in such a way.

"But why?" She whispered in a voice that sounded unlike her.

Her mind was in a foggy state. Questions welled up in her in some sort of frenzy of confusion.

Grey sighed. "What do you really want to know, Caramel? Why did I showed you who I am or why I'm

Hercules? You wanted to know who I really am. You gave me no choice but to show you this even

though I didn't want to."

Caramel sucked in a ragged breath. "I know but_," her voice trailed off for a few minutes. "I thought you

merely work for Hercules but I didn't know you were.," she hesitated. "Why did you pretend to be poor?

Why did you stay with Avery? Why did you start dating me? Was it because you hate Giovanni and

Alex? And you were going to use me?" She badgered him.

Well, he hated Giovanni and Alex. That was true but what wasn't, was about using Caramel for his

gain?

Grey shook his head briefly. "I didn't use you, Caramel. I never did, just know this, ok?"

Caramel went mute.

"Caramel, you used to trust me. Where has that gone too?"

Caramel looked up at him with a troubled expression. "Does my mom know this?"

Grey read her expression and quickly decided if he was supposed to say the truth or not.

"She does," Grey sighed. "She used to serve my mother before she died. That's why she's the only one

I know as a mom now."

Caramel shook her head briefly. "I can’t do this, Grey. I just can't. I mean I trust you but this is too much

for me."

"Caramel, calm down. I know you need time to process everything. Trust me, it has happened to me as

well. I'm ready to give you the time you need but don't act in a hurry," he advised.

Caramel regarded him for a moment before she slowly let go of his hands. "The woman I knew as my

mother was killed by Giovanni, one of the mafia lords in town. I don't want to get into this kind of thing. I

don't want to be in trouble," she complained.

"Caramel," Grey called.

"No, you don't understand, "Caramel sobbed silently. "Alex promised to find you and kill you. I can't wait

and let people

I love die. I'm sure he's only angry that we are together. He would probably let you off when he

discovers I'm leaving. I mean he doesn’t know who you really are."

It took a while before the explanation settled in and realisation finally dawned on Grey.

"Are you suggesting a breakup?"
