Chapter 44: meeting the last Elder
“Sir, this man is Grey and the most useless man in life. He used to work as a delivery man and he was
worth nothing.’ Seth explained
Luciano groaned, apparently not pleased with his explanation. He was still looking at Grey, though with
curious eyes thal Grey wasn’t familiar with
“Did you say your name is Grey Fox?” He repeated
Grey nodded briefly ” I’m supposed to meet someone here and she’s on her way here,” he tried his
best to be polite
Mr Luciano.’ Seth interrupted before Luciano would say anything else “You shouldn’t be speaking with
someone like this. He’s not worth your struggles The security men can explain what he did anyways.”
Luciano turned to look at Seth “Sorry, who are you?* There were raised brows at hun
Seth smiled “I’m Seth I just rented the whole space for the cinema and”
“You can’t do that someone else already rented it. Luciano cut in quickly
Seth’s expression was a vivid description of horror as he watched Luciano “I’m willing to pay twice the
price And if you aren’t busy. I would like for us to discuss something about business”
Luciano turned towards Grey. ignoring Seth’s remark which felt like a stab in his neck ‘is Novia who you
are waiting for?”
Grey eyes went wide with shock Lots of questions went through his mind quickly Novia was the name
that only Grey could call Aphrodite And unless this man really knew her, he wouldn’t be referring to her

in such a way
“Novia?” Nora asked, skeptical
Well, it looked like Aphrodite was the name everyone knew Novia as it was just as whal Hercules was
to Grey
Grey nodded slowly “She said I could wait here and she’s on her way,” he added quickly
Luciano’s lips seemed to curve into a smile but soon closed up again for a mouth that wasn’t used to
laughing, it was the least he could do
“If you don’t mind, you could wait for her in the hall We could prepare a movie in advance before she
arrives,” Luciano explained to Grey softly. The harsh tone disappeared and it looked like Luciano was
trying to impress Grey.
“Wait, it looks like you are missing something.” Seth indicated, confused. This man is a delivery man.
Ok. he got employed recently but he has been sacked.
Luciano looked over at Seth ‘What did you say your name was the other time?
Seth smiled. I’m Seth,’ and he stretched out his hand for a handshake
Luciano stared down at his hand for a moment, then up to his face. “Will you keep shut or do you want
my men to walk you out of this place? He responded,
Seth swallowed harder, unable to believe what was happening.
Luciano smiled at Grey again, this time it lasted longer. “Let’s go then I will specifically make sure you
are very comfortable,” he indicated
* Wall’ Seth sald quickly just before Luciano would turn around. “I’m willing to pay three times the
amount to rent the hall,” he offered quickly
Luciano shook his head. I’m sorry but I have to decline,’ and 10 Grey “Let’s go”
Luciano started walking away, without giving Seth a chance to say more
“Grey, how? You are unemployed. You have been sacked!” Nora said quickly She was so angry That
Grey was taking her space with Seth.
Grey looked at them and smiled ‘Who told you that?” And he went after Luciano, leaving Nora and Seth
in shock
Seih was more than angry He had never been so humilialed And to think it was the second time that
Grey was doing it
“Wait,” Grey said quickly as he and Luciano stepped inside the emply hall His word pulled Luciano 10 a
stop and he turned around to look at Grey
Grey knew that Novia was capable of renting the hall for years but it didn’t explain how Luciano knew
her He wondered if Novia had told him who he really was because that might be a disaster
“How did you know Aphrodite is Novia? Grey questioned
Luciano regarded him for a moment and slowly bowed his head “I cani face you I dont even know how
I’m supposed to start,” he looked up again, meeting Greys blue eyes for a minute of silent
communication “Hercules
Grey’s heart almost stopped beating How did he know? Did Aphrodite tell hin?

“I don’t know how I’m supposed to do this but I guess I can’t hide from it,” he muttered in a sad voice
His tone wasn’t as strong as it used to be
And he slowly went down on his knees Grey eyes went wide and dark with shock
‘It was my fault that your father died If he hadn’t agreed to follow me to the party, he would still be alive
Grey raised skeptical brows at him.” You know my father?”
Luciano looked up at him again and slowly nodded ‘Have you forgotten me so quickly, Grey? I used to
be your uncle
Like a flash, Grey saw himself in the car He was in the second car with Luciano while his father took
the third car
They were prominent people in society and they never ceased to show it Though Rio had tried his best
to hide his son’s identity because he wouldn’t let him die like his mother He preferred it of Grey would
school in the countryside and come visit during vacation No one was supposed to know Grey was Rio’s
son until it was the right time.
“The accident wouldn’t have happened if I wasn’t so adamani.’ Luciano sobbed quietly
Grey saw the car trip off, knocking into a tree and Luciano went unconscious immediately. He was
bleeding but the only thing Grey could think of was his father
“Do you remember me now?’ Luciano asked again, jerking Grey out of his thoughts
Grey took a deep breath and slowly nodded “Yes, I remember you now. You used to be uncle Lucy to
me and you were the man that killed my father. He announced, angrily
