Chapter 290: Plots
Leo woke up with a loud yelp. He was soaked in his perspiration but he felt a lot better. Though his
head was still seriously banging and there were bandages all over his body.
"Are you ok?" Alfred demanded suddenly.
Leo looked over at him and slowly nodded. "I feel good now."
Alfred released a sigh. "That's good. Giovanni took you, right?"
Leo relaxed. "Yes, he did."
Though, he didn't believe that he had already agreed to be Giovanni's spy. Not only that, he had told
him everything about Hercules, and he had betrayed Hercules twice.
He didn't even know how long he could carry the burden.
"Thankfully, we found you earlier. What was he planning on doing with you?"
"He was-," he hesitated and gestured towards nothing in particular. "He wants me to be the spy but I
disagree. I guess he was going to kill me when you found me," he lied.
Alfred nodded as a sign of encouragement. "You should be fine by morning," he assured.
Leo nodded briefly and Alfred walked out of the room.
Leo regarded him for a moment until he was out of sight. He closed his eyes in regret. What was he
going to do?
How was he going to face Rio again?
Caramel woke up late that morning in Grey's arms. She slept so peacefully and Grey didn't want to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwake her up. i
Instead, he got ready for the day. He walked downstairs to meet with Beatrice. He initially told Beatrice
to get prepared because he wants her to go with Caramel.
"How are you doing?” Grey said suddenly, startling Beatrice for a moment.
Beatrice turned over to look at him. "Good morning Boss,” there was this nice smile on her face. She
looked so happy. Grey could tell.
"Good morning," Grey greeted and turned to grab a bottle of water.
"I've made breakfast," she announced. "You can get dressed while I set the table."
Grey nodded briefly and gulped down the water. "Caramel seemed to be having a nice sleep."
"I’m glad that happened."
Grey turned to look at her. "Three of my men are boarding with you. They will be your guards when you
reach your location. Just make sure you call me if anything happens," he advised.
Beatrice smiled even wider. 'Thank you so much, Hercules. I really appreciate it."
Grey reciprocated the smile. "You are always welcome, Beatrice. You've been so loyal to my mom, it's
time to have your life. We will take up from here," he assured.
"Call me if you need any help with the production."
Grey shook his head briefly. "We won’t, I will handle it," he assured her." And you had the better dish
out the food because I'm on my way."
They both laughed before Grey went upstairs. Caramel was still sleeping when Grey walked inside. He
sat beside her and stroked her hair slowly.
Caramel and Grey had another hot sex the night before and Grey wouldn't even doubt the love he had
for her. He wanted her to be saved, which was letting her go, till she was calm enough to accept this
position with him.
Though, he wonders if it would all be the same when she comes back. It doesn’t matter anyways as
long as she is alright.
Caramel opened her eyes slowly. "Is it morning already?"
Grey smiled and pulled at her cheek slightly. "You have a flight to catch. Beatrice is dishing out the
food. You should get dressed."
Caramel nodded briefly. "Is my mom really coming with me?"
Grey nodded briefly, a smile still tugging at his lips.
Caramel grinned. 'Thank you, Grey. Thank you so much."
Alfred had left for work that morning and it was only Leo at home. Though, there were other men at
home as well. So, it was secured but his mind wasn't.
Leo couldn't stop thinking about everything. The fact that he told Giovanni the truth. Though, he's
worried as to why the truth hasn't spread yet. If anything has happened as a result of what he
confessed, Alfred would have shown it but there was currently nothing.
It looked like Giovanni was planning something wild and just thinking about it made Leo's heart race.
Just what was he supposed to do?
Damn! He had just two choices! Tell the elders everything and expect death immediately or well,
continue to betray the elders, continue to lie and well, die.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe was going to die no matter what he did. His sins were great already. But the main question should
be what he would be dying for. For betraying or for help.
It was relatively late but it was better to be late than never.
Leo reached for his phone. It was the phone that Alfred gave to him that morning. In case anything
happens, Leo was supposed to call and alert him.
Alfred picked up immediately. "Hello, Leo. Is everything alright?" Leo was supposed to call him only if
something was happening and he thought something was really happening.
"Not really Alfred. I have something to tell you and the elders."
"Ok. Do you remember something already?"
There was hesitation from Leo’s side. "I’ve never lost anything. It was only a pretence and I'm ready to
tell you and Hercules everything."
Silence ensued from the other end for a few seconds. "Alright, I will call the elders' attention to it. We
will meet you at home soon," he assured in a calm voice.
Well, Alfred was the eldest. He, Rio, and Leo were age mates. And the fact that Alfred was taking
everything calm amazes him. He wondered what Grey would do after he learned of the truth.
Alex stood up in anticipation as the door opened and a man rushed inside." Yes?"
The man nodded briefly. "I got several strands of hair as I didn’t know if he was the only one that used
the comb. But I got it from his room."
Alex thought for a moment. "Yes, Caramel could have been in his room. I will just run a test with each
and every one of them."
The man nodded and stretched out a transparent bag filled with hairs.
"It’s time to identify Grey."
