"We are speaking to his friend. Look for her and make sure you are fast with it. We are not sure who is
currently watching you guys. And inform me the moment you have her with you," he informed.
"Alright boss."
Grey hung up and looked up at Aphrodite while she does her thing. A smile escaped him as he got up.
He still had a suit on and he was going to change attire.
He went upstairs for a quick shower. He relaxed a bit. He felt like he hasn't been able to have a nice
night's rest and it was beginning to tell on him.
With his hands against the wall of the bathroom, he started to think while the water streamed down his
body.
Suddenly, he missed Caramel. It felt like she had been gone for a million years. Sadly enough, he
doesn't even know if he would ever see her again. It looked to him like she was going to leave him
forever. She just used those words on him so that he would let her go willingly.
Grey would have sworn to protect her with his life if she had been calm with him. And it pained him
greatly. All girls have been leaving him. His ex girlfriend left him because he was poor, and Caramel left
him because he was rich.
What was he supposed to do? Who was he supposed to be? The thought of it sent angry hormones all
over his body and he hit the wall angrily.
He didn't even know what he was supposed to be angry at. At this or the death of his parent? Or the

Grey had questions but the answers eluded him.
He released a sigh and walked out of the bathroom. He got dressed in joggers and a t-shirt.
When he walked out of the room, Aphrodite was still in the kitchen, singing.
Grey regarded her for a moment. He remembered them clearly when they were still young. Novia and
he were always so close, almost inseparable.
But now, they were almost acting like strangers.
Grey moved closer. "What have you been cooking? Its aroma has filled the whole place," he teased.
Aphrodite turned around towards him, with a bright smile on her face. "Pot roast. I'm going to make it
as delicious as ever."
Grey smiled. "I have never tasted a pot roast but how come you know how to cook?”
Aphrodite huffed and turned back to what she was doing. "You wouldn't believe me if I told you that I
learned it all from my nanny? My mom was always too busy to even stay around. She was always with
Hercules."
Grey chuckled. "She was a very strong woman, always moving with Hercules. It's such a pity you aren't
as strong as her," he teased.
Aphrodite looked at him. "Are you teasing me?"
Grey smiled and moved closer to her. "No, I'm not."
"You better be, Grey, or I will kill you!" She laughed.
Grey smiled. "I was just kidding, Aphrodite. You are one of the strongest women I have ever seen or
known," he muttered. "And I can't wait to taste your food."
Aphrodite smiled. "Or do you want to employ me as your cook?"
Grey laughed. "I will rather order food than employ a strong woman like you.
N
Aphrodite laughed. "I wouldn't mind, actually."
"So," Aphrodite hesitated. "Are you going to kill Alex and Giovanni in this same plan?"
Grey thought for a moment. "I have no intention to do so."
Aphrodite surprisingly gathered her brows. "But why? I thought you were desperate for revenge earlier
on. What changed your mind?"
Grey released a sigh and turned away. "I haven't changed my mind, Novia. I still want them to die so
badly. And I wouldn't stop feeling that way until they are really dead, but," he looked at her again. "I
can't kill them at once. Besides, it would be best if Giovanni dies before his son."
"Wait, you want to kill Giovanni but not Alex?"
Grey nodded once. "Then the fight will be left to the children. Then, I can decide how strong he is."
Giovanni had a scheduled meeting with some of his elders at one of his popular hotels and suites. He
has done some things to keep Grey hooked. He was certain that he would take time to unhook himself.
No, he wouldn't be able to unhook himself before he died because the elders are planning a last blow
for Grey already. Hercules will die once and for all.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSuddenly, some people were murmuring around him. When Giovanni looked up, he discovered that
they would look up at him, then at the screen of their phones. 1
At first, he thought it was because he was quite popular and if it wasn't for Grey, he would have been
the billionaire boss as well as the richest man in the city. Maybe they were only admiring him.
But it got worse as he walked through the lobby. Everyone was looking at him with some kind of disgust
and Giovanni didn't even know where it came from. 1
Something was definitely happening.
After entering the car, he pulled out his phone to go through the news. His phone rang suddenly just as
he was about to go on the internet. It was Alex, his son.
"Dad! Have you seen it too? Did you see it?"
Giovanni raised skeptical brows, "what am I supposed to see?"
Alex released several pieces of air as he tried to hint his father. "It's about Jane. I think you need to see
the news yourself," he hinted.
Giovanni still didn't get what Alex meant. "Is Jane not with us?"
Alex sighed. "She is but I think you should check the news yourself. You will understand when you do,"
he suggested.
"Alright,' he responded and hung up.
But even before he opened the internet, a piece of news appeared on his screen and it read: Dad and
son did a woman forcefully and even killed her.’
Giovanni's eyes went wide when he saw that the news was about him and his son.
