Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate

Chapter 526: A Boss

She blinked once, then twice. She heard everything actually, the fact that Grey has a soft spot for his ex-wife and

well, for Caramel.

Well, she knew that Grey didn't leave Caramel willingly. If Caramel wasn't so unbending, Grey wouldn't let her go.

But Aphrodite didn't mind. Grey was Hercules. In fact, it was normal for mafia bosses to have a lot of women.

There was nothing bad about it. In fact, she wasn't going to be mad if Grey ends up dating all three of them, as long

as he doesn't stop loving her. She was only concerned about staying with Grey. It was either Grey or no one.

The thing was that Grey was different.

"What do you mean? Avery might die?"

Grey sighed." Sincerely, I'm so scared. I will never forgive myself if something happened to her. It was my fault that

she got shot. And damn, it was in the head."

Charles released an exasperated sigh. "She passed the difficult stage already, let's hope she gets better."

Grey regarded him for a moment. "She hasn't. The doctor said she might have an impairment. What if it's

something that can't be corrected? I'm just so scared."

"Grey," Aphrodite called softly, interrupting Charles of what he was about to say.

Grey hesitated and looked over at Aphrodite's opened eyes. "Novia!" He called with happiness and moved closer to

her.

Charles turned to Aphrodite and his eyes went wide with surprise and his eyes glinted with joy. "Oh My! She's

awake! I will get the doctor,” he announced and rushed out of the room.

Grey sat beside her. 'How do you feel?"

Aphrodite smiled softly.

Grey reached for her hand and stroked her hair softly. "I'm so glad you are feeling better. I'm so sorry, Novia. I'm so

sorry for putting you through this."

"I'm sorry for putting you through the stress," Aphrodite said softly.

Grey kissed her forehead.

Several minutes later, Grey walked out of the doctor's office with Charles.

"Thank God she's fine. She could go home today."

Grey nodded once, a smile on his face. "I'm really happy. I need to go to the hospital and change my bandage."

Charles regarded him for a moment. "Where? You were hurt?"

Grey nodded once. "Alex shot me in the leg after he shot Avery in the head."

Charles released a sigh. "He has been taken already. I heard that he's appearing in court in two weeks. We won't

have to worry about him for a while now."

Grey nodded once. "But it's time to worry about Giovanni. It's time for him to go down. We have to think of

something very fast."

Charles nodded once. "You go ahead, I will stay with Aphrodite."

Grey nodded once. "Thank you. I will be back very soon. So, I will get Aphrodite's breakfast. Do you want me to get

yours as well?"

Charles nodded once and smiled. "I will like that. Then when Aphrodite gets better, we could go to the restaurant

together."

Ben was devastated. "I can't believe this is happening."

"This is all your fault, Ben!" Emma attacked him. The fear in her heart weighed a lot.

The fact that she wasn't able to get across to her daughter for months now. She searched literally everywhere until

she found out that Avery was in a neighbouring country.

And she had written to Avery several times, only to be ignored. And just the day before, her relative told her that

Avery got admitted to the hospital.

Benjamin felt annoyed by her words. "Don't go there, Emma. Don't get me upset! How is this all my fault?"

Emma frowned. "How is this not your fault? You caused everything that has ever happened to Avery! You made her

in this position! You want me to lose the only child I ever had!" She sobbed softly.

Ben regarded her for a moment. "Seriously? That's what you would say? You had better not start this at this

moment. We need to make sure Avery is alright?"

Emma sent him a cold stare. "You had better pray that Avery gets better or this is not going to be good for us! You

had better!" She yelled.

Benjamin got up, "I will just see the doctor and find out what is happening with Avery and the bill to be settled," he

explained and walked out of the room without waiting for Emma to say anything.

Emma regarded him for a moment before she sat beside Avery. She stared at him for a moment, at the bandage

around her head.

She suddenly started crying. "Avery, don't do this to me. You have to get better," she held her hand and sobbed

even harder.

"Are you sure you feel very good?" Charles questioned and moved towards Aphrodite.

Aphrodite nodded once. "I feel very good. How did the announcement day go? Who is the new King of the world?"

Charles pulsed his lips for a moment, with a straightened face. Then, it suddenly developed into a big smile.

"Hercules won!" He announced.

Aphrodite laughed, as happiness slipped into her. "OMG! That's so good to hear. I was worried about it. I thought the

plan would fail. I thought my mistake was going to affect the whole plan."

"Well, almost," Charles confessed. "Grey wouldn't have stayed behind if I had told him about the incident. But all in

all, it all went well," he cleared his throat meaningfully. "Are you sure you can wait for Grey? He's running late."

"I can," Aphrodite smiled. "It's nothing. He will soon be here, I'm sure of it."

"Alright then."

"But can I ask you a question?"

Charles nodded once. "Sure."

Aphrodite hesitated for a moment and looked away. "How is Avery doing?”

Charles watched her for a moment. "H_how did you know?" He stammered. He was shocked.

Aphrodite released a sigh. "Avery used to be Grey's ex-wife and I'm very sure he has some feelings for her. If

something happens to her, it might affect him."

Meanwhile, Grey was at the door and overheard everything that Aphrodite had said.
