Chapter 235: The Mission
The ropes were too tight around her and there was no way to lose it.
Grey grunted and pulled away, frustrated.
Tiana was still watching him in amazement. “Why are you doing this to me? Why are you helping me?”
“Why am I doing it?” He smiled. ” Because you will serve me wholeheartedly.”
Tiana started sobbing afresh. “I promise to serve you till I die, Hercules. Thank you so much! Thank
you!”
And you still have to tell me all you know and I’ve heard, alright?”
Tiana nodded quickly.” You don’t need to ask me. I will not leave anything behind. I promise and I will
forever serve you,” she swore.
Grey smiled.” Good. What’s your name by the way?”
Tiana Elrod.”
Grey sent the names as a text message to Jimmy and added the gender since the next was Fred but
he was waiting so that he could get his surname as well.
Grey’s phone rang suddenly and it was Don. He picked it up immediately.
“Hello boss, the doctor would like to speak with the mother of the kid before they start. Though, they
assure me of a good result,” he explained.
Grey regarded Tiana for a moment. “Good. Please, place the doctor on the phone.” He ordered.

“Alright boss,” he responded.
It took a few minutes before another voice came on the phone. “Hello, Hercules. This is doctor Smith.”
“Alright. I will hand the phone over to the mother,” he announced, placed it on speaker, and stretched
out the phone to Tania since she was still confined.
Tania smiled. “Good afternoon doctor. This is Tania Elrod, that’s my son, Samson Katz,” she
introduced.
“Alright, Miss Tania. We only want to get confirmation from you.”
“Oh yes, please proceed. Hercules is the guardian and I’m currently on a business trip. I will be there
as soon as possible.”
Alright, Miss Tania. We will start the surgery sooner as well,” they revealed.
Grey pulled the phone back to himself.” Try your best on the kid, add the bills and call this line.”
Alright, Hercules.”
Grey hung up and looked down at Tania. “I will obviously find something to cut the rope with.”
The door opened suddenly and Charles entered.
Grey turned to look at him, his brows raised slightly. “Where’s Fred?”
“He escaped but my men are after him. They will get him soon,” he announced.
Grey nodded briefly, “I need something to cut the ropes around her.”
“What? She’s a suspect too. I mean how can you listen to her over Fred?”
“Because she’s the victim here and Fred must tell us why he ran off.”
Charles nodded once. “I understand but I’m still doubtful about her.”
Grey regarded him for a moment. “Do you trust me?”
Charles nodded slowly. “Of course, I do.”
“Then, please continue to do so. Don’t trust her but me,” he advised.
Charles slowly released a sigh. “I will get something for you then,” and he walked out.
“I met Fred two weeks ago in my search for someone who could help me pay for my son’s hospital bill.
He told me about you,” Tiana started.” Though, he didn’t tell me why he wanted me to do it. He only
told me I should try and find a way to find out what you look like. This was why I had to be close to your
driver as well. Then, I figured out that he also wanted the same thing that Fred wanted from me. Maybe
he was going to enslave me as Fred did to me. So, I decided to drug him before I would head over to
the estate to watch out for you. That was why I drugged him the other time.” She explained.
Grey shook his head slightly. ” You tried to but you didn’t. If I hadn’t caught you earlier, he might have
overshadowed you.”
Tiana’s eyes went wide with shock. “But I saw him drink the wine.”
“Maybe or maybe not. But he outsmarts you, Tiana. Did you think Fred would really pay your son’s
hospital bill?” He chuckled. “He’s going to kill you, Tiana, and then leave your son to die in the
hospital.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTiana’s eyes went gobsmacked. “What?”
Do you think he gave you an easy job or a normal one?” He moved closer to her and squatted in front
of her so that she would be able to see his face very well. “I am Hercules. Aside from the fact that I’m
feared by a lot of people, I’m also desired by some. Not everyone has seen my face. Though someone
has and died and some are still going to die before I reveal myself to the public. So, if you know what I
look like, he would probably kill you to protect himself because he would be sure I would kill you when I
find out what you had done,” he revealed.
Tiana blinked once, then twice.Shocked, Gray smiled and stood up. I'm sorry.Your life, Tiana, and the
life of your son.And so you must do something for me.I will do anything for you, Hercules.Gray bit his
lower lip slightlyand watched him for a moment. Anything?Tiana swallowed harder.I will do anything for
you, boss.But please don't tell me to die.There's no one dot to take care of Samson.If you don't kill me,
I promiseto serve you till breath leaves me.She swore again.With pleading eyes, Gray smiled again.I
told you I wouldn't kill you, Tiana.You just have an assignment for me.You will be doing something
instead of Fred.It's very simple, but you just have to be very careful.Is that right?Tiana nodded
quickly.Yes, boss.What am I going to do for you?Gray held his arms in a kimbo as hewatched her with
this defiant expression on his face.You are going to help me pass across apiece of important
information to whoever Fred serves.It's important information because it's about me.What information?
Charles said suddenly from behind. Great.Turn to look at him.Very simple.Hercules doesn't exist.That's
why he's hiding under the mask. What?
