Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate

Chapter 287: Concern

The car pulled off in the garage and Alex hesitated. He has been thinking about it for a long time but he

somehow agrees with Hattie. He was supposed to take whatever belongs to him that Grey might take.

He shouldn't allow him to get away with it at all.

The driver opened his side of the door and Alex's side of the door opened too as well but it wasn't the

driver.

"Alex, get down or I will shoot this through your head," Grey announced in a deep voice.

Alex looked up at Grey. "Grey?"

"You got it right but do it now or I'm actually going to pull the trigger!" He threatened.

Alex sighed and got down from the car slowly. "How did you escape death? II

Grey chuckled. "I have nine lives, Alex. You can't kill me like that."

"Oh," Alex smirked. "Interesting. Just beware, I'm really going to kill you for real this time.”

Grey huffed. "I would like to see you try. Bring out your phone and call her to come out here," he

ordered.

Alex raised confused brows at him. "Who?"

Grey pushed the gun right into his neck. “You do know what I'm talking about. You better bring out your

phone or you won't be the one after my life, someone will be doing it in your stead."

Alex regarded him for a moment before he took his phone and dialled a number. It rang severally and

no one picked it up.

"Are you playing me, Alex? I have men around already and I have you on the hook."

Alex sighed and dialled another number.

"And place it on speaker!" Grey warned between his teeth.

Alex complied. "Hello!"

"Good evening boss. Are you around?"

"Yes," Alex glanced at Grey. "I want you to send someone to escort Caramel out of the house."

There was hesitation on the other side. "Is everything alright, boss?"

"Yes, I need to take her home. Don't worry, just let her come down."

"Alright boss, she will be there soon," she assured and the line went off.

Alex pocketed his phone. ‘You know, I was really thinking hard about everything. I mean when you

came to me, you acted as if you knew nothing about the Mafia. And I thought I could use the likes of

you."

Grey smirked. "Well, I'm nothing like you."

"We are both in this mafia business, you've done shitty things as I have."

Grey shook his head briefly. "I'm not like you, Alex. I'm not like Pablo and I can never be like you.

Meanwhile, Caramel is taking a long time. If she doesn't come out in five minutes, it will be on you," he

warned sternly.

Alex sighed. "If you kill me, my father won't let you off the hook."

"Well, you would be dead already," Grey smiled.

When Grey looked up slightly, he saw Caramel walking out with Tiana and a sigh escaped him.

Tiana and Caramel moved closer. Caramel hesitated as she stared at Grey. At that moment, what it

looked like to Caramel was Hercules pointing a gun at Alex but Alex doesn't even know.

"Let's go," Tiana announced and escorted her over to a car close by.

Jimmy was in it. The moment they shut the door, the car pulled out of the garage.

" What kind of a man kidnaps a woman because she refused to love him? You should man up, Alex,

and face me. Stop going through corners, and let's do this man-to-man. I will be waiting for you," he

gave him a last smile before he walked to the car and Don drove out of the garage.

The driver rushed to him. "Should we go after them?"

Alex shook his head briefly. "Let him be."

Leo yelled out as sharp pain coursed through his whole body. His body vibrated with it.

"Stop!" Giovanni said suddenly and the hot metal that was being pressed against Leo's body was held

on hold.

"You are not being fair, Giovanni!" Leo spat out blood. His face was all bruised and there was blood on

his clothes.

"This is fair enough. You say what I want, you do what I ask and this would be good for you."

"I've already done that once, I'm not ready to go into that," Leo yelled out in anger.

Giovanni regarded him for a moment, then looked over at the man beside him. "Continue," he ordered.

The man picked another metal from the burning charcoal and placed it on Leo's exposed body. A loud

Yelp escaped Leo again.

His mind was in a great tumult on what to do. The suffering was too much and getting out of hand but

Leo didn't want to talk.

How was he supposed to tell Giovanni that Grey was Hercules? How was he supposed to cope with

betraying his friend and Grey? Damn, he had betrayed Rio. Would he betray his son?

But he didn't know how long he could cope with the torture.

Alfred stared up at the ceiling for a moment. "I have a bad feeling about this, Gregory."

Grey didn't inform Alfred and others that he was going to Hattie's place to get Caramel. He didn't want

to disturb the elders since he can handle it on his own.

"About Leo?" Gregory raised skeptical brows at him.

Alfred nodded briefly. "What if Giovanni was the one that took him? What if_ M

"Stop thinking too far, Alfred. Anything could have happened to him as Grey had said. It's nothing to be

bothering yourself with.’

Alfred regarded Gregory for another moment. "I can't find Leo anywhere. It's something, Gregory. I've

sent out my men since yesterday and they haven't found anything. I'm bothered. What if I'm actually

right about him?"

"And what if you are not?"

Alfred let out a sigh. "I'm going to give it till tomorrow night. If I don't find Leo, I'm going for Giovanni."

"But you do know that Hercules might not be interested in it."

Alfred looked at Grey. "I will make him. I have a reason that will move him." Gregory looked at him as

well and raised skeptical brows. "And what can that be?" i

"Leo knows who the real Hercules is, Gregory. He might have lost his memories but he had been living

with us for a while now. Leo knows it's Grey. What if he tells this to Giovanni? I mean he could torture

him for the information.

Gregory's eyes went wide with shock. "You are right. We need to meet with Grey tonight. We need to

speak with him!" He announced hurriedly.

Alfred nodded once. "We need to protect Hercules."
