“Well, let him come,” Grey decided and looked at Avery. “I'm done with the food. Thank you, I really appreciate it,” he said with a smile.Avery nodded once and packed the lunch boxes. “I will leave then so that you and Dylan can speak.”Grey nodded. “Alright. Take care of yourself.”Avery smiled slightly and walked out eventually.Charles turned to Grey. “I will kill him today if he tries to act sneaky!” He swore.Grey smiled slightly. “Just calm down and let's hear him first.”Charles groaned inwardly and pulled a chair for himself to sit. “I'm seriously going to kill him!” He promised.Grey laughed and his phone made a beep. It was a message from Avery. He read through and looked at Charles.“Dylan is here,” he announced.Charles nodded several times as if it was taking every ounce of his strength to keep calm.A soft knock sounded on the door. The door opened almost immediately and Dylan pushed his head inside, a wide smile on his face.“Hi everyone!” He said with sarcasm.“You be
Charles looked at Grey, still shocked. “Don't tell me you will team up with this good-for-nothing guy? You know he's not to be trusted!”Grey nodded once and looked at him. “I know but you do trust me, right? Just trust me.”Charles regarded him for a moment and slowly released a sigh. “Alright then.”Grey looked at Dylan. “But this teamwork will not work if we don't have the evidence we can pin Giovanni down with,” he explained.“Well, Giovanni is supposed to die, and not be jailed for killing your father.”“Well, I won't need the evidence after Giovanni dies. So, this deal will be useless for me. Besides, Giovanni will not live after killing my father. Don't think I plan on sparing his life.”Dylan laughed. “I like that! I sincerely do!” He muttered, dipped his hand into his pocket, and pulled out a phone. “It's here, everything on the watch,” he revealed, placed it on the bed beside Grey, and smiled slightly. “I will be in Jacksonville soon. We will talk then,” he finished, got up,
Avery stood in front of the mirror, with two dresses. She was indecisive about the one to wear. She just freshened up and the only thing she could think of was to go back to the hospital because of Grey.She just wanted to be with him. She didn't want to think of anything else.She eventually decided on the black one, deciding it was a bad idea to be overly dressed when she was in fact going to the hospital.She dabbed some perfumes on herself and eventually walked out of the house. She got inside the car and drove right to a restaurant nearby.She thought of getting Hercules some cakes. Her phone rang suddenly as she walked back to the car. She hesitated briefly, as she took a while to find her. The phone had stopped ringing when she finally found it.She was about to check the caller ID when the phone started ringing again. It was an unknown caller.She hesitated again and contemplated on whether to pick it up or not.She eventually decided to.“Hello?”“Hello, sis!” A familiar de
Avery couldn't stop thinking about all Grey had told her. She still found it hard to believe. How was she married and they weren't intimate?Does it mean she forced him to marry her? But then she wondered why she would do such a thing.She took her phone and placed a call to Sean.He picked it up immediately. “Hi, sister.”“I'm on the way home. So, come over. I won’t wait too much for you,” she finished and hung up immediately.The car pulled into the garage and Avery got down before the engine of the car would even stop.She walked inside the living room.“Ben, have you_” Emily started but stopped suddenly when she saw Avery. Her eyes widened with shock. “Avery!” Joy exploded in her eyes.Avery managed a smile and met her mother midway. They hugged.“Where have you been all these while? Why did you decide to stay away from us all this while?” She sobbed quietly.“I'm sorry,” Avery responded and pulled back to look at her mother fully. “I just need to get myself back. Besides, there a
The blaring of music from the house was the only evidence that Grey needed to know that his girlfriend, Nora, was really celebrating her birthday. But she told him she wouldn't. And Grey didn't understand why she would lie to him. They've been dating for six months now. Grey opened the door, and Nora and several friends were dancing together. Grey was really unhappy, he called Nora’s name several times but she didn’t hear that because of the loud music. Rushing to her, Grey grabbed Nora’s hand, Nora held his hand too and turned her face to Grey with a sweet smile. But when she saw Grey’s angry face, her smile disappeared. “Why did you come here?” Nora asked calmly. Grey said,” I think you told me that you wouldn’t celebrate your birthday, so now what’re you doing? Why are you lying to me?” Nora responded mockingly, “I had a lot of friends. They have decided to celebrate for me. It wasn't a big deal, anyway you didn't even have money to do it for me!”. Grey was in silence, he h
Grey looked back at Nora, at the woman he gave his heart to the moment he was lost, the moment it felt like he would never find happiness in life. He stared up at Seth for a moment, at the arrogance and the stupid smirk on his face. Well, he had everything under his control while the only thing Grey had was Nora. But not anymore. Nora was going to leave him as well. “Nora, is this true? Or is this a prank?” He asked softly. Nora sighed, “Yes Grey, we are breaking up. Here’s Seth, my new man,” she introduced and Tracy squealed with happiness. Grey doesn’t even know what was making her so happy. If he ever had a way to pay back, the first person he would teach a great lesson was Tracy. And the sad thing was that she never loved him. And he really thought they both had something for each other. Grey bit back his tears, he wouldn’t cry. “Poor guy, you didn’t even touch this woman’s hands right? You’re really pathetic.” “If you can lick my shoes, I may give you a job as a security
Avery gave him a dirty glare. "What sort of question is that? I should be asking you!"The door opened almost immediately and King walked in, with a wide smile on his face. "I knew you were always with men. I just don't know why grandfather wouldn't trust me on it."" What the fuck are you saying!" Avery snapped. " I know nothing. I don't even know how this idiot got on my bed!" She argued.Smith smiled and took out his phone to take a shot. Grey was watching the drama, unable to ascertain what was really happening.Avery got up quickly. " Please, don't do this. I have no idea how it happened!" She pleaded and moved closer to him.Smith scoffed. " Too late, I have already sent it to my grandfather.""Damn!" Avery yelled and fell to the floor. She couldn't stop the mad beating of her heart. The thought of how much her grandfather would be disappointed in her ate her raw."Hey! What am I doing here!" Grey yelled suddenly, finally able to locate his voice. At first, he thought he was dre
He staggered back to get his trouser from the bed. He was still feeling dizzy when he managed to slip his trouser on.The man sensing his actions guarded him to the car. Grey only had to tell the driver his address and didn't even know when they got home.When he stepped out, he stopped suddenly as he felt peace overtaking him. Suddenly, he wasn't feeling pain as he initially was. It felt like he was healing up. The pain coming from his nose was also gone.No, that wasn’t it. It was his determination that was making his blood boil. What if there was something about himself that he doesn’t know? He couldn’t just drop from the sky, something must be connected to him.It was at that moment that he was determined to get back his memory at all cost. Perhaps, there was more to him that he didn't know..The drive to the party was longer than Grey had expected. Dressed in a black suit that he had struggled to buy after his third salary, and a black shoe, Grey complimented it with his goodloo
