CHAPTER 79:

NEXT MOVE “I said, let go of me! There's absolutely nothing wrong with me! I can swear to you that that woman is truly Lila.” Cynthia cried out, trying to break free from the maid's grip as they awaited the coming of the ambulance. Grey stood and glared at her dangerously. “Tell me, Cynthia. What more do I need to know before you finally get locked up in the psychiatric?” He asked with a cold and resolute tone. Hoping for an answer from the crazy woman, all he could get was an intense stare into his eyes. “Sir, the ambulance is here,” one of the maids ran to inform Grey the moment she saw the ambulance drive in. “Thank you,” Grey said politely and nodded. He took a step closer to Cynthia, grabbed her chin in a painful manner with his bloodshot eyes, and whispered into her ears, “You can choose to remain mute for the rest of your life; that, I don't care, but you see that which you're hiding from me? I swear to God, I'll be forced to storm this building and strangle you to

    CHAPTER 80CAN WE MEET?“Hi, can we meet?” Grey woke up with confusion to the beep-beep sound of his phone with Lila's message.Huh? His brows furrowed in surprise.All efforts to rack his brain and figure out the possible reason behind their meeting were unyielding.Could it be that she's suing us in court for attempted murder? But the message looks rather harmless. He thought to himself, and without hesitation, his hands quickly typed, ‘Sure, we can,’ followed by the send button.“Perfect!” Lila exclaimed, and immediately, she texted him the time and address. “Good morning, sir,” the maids and the security guards at the gate greeted Grey as he left for work. But unlike the usual Grey who'd answer nicely and ask them about their night, he only glared at them with bloodshot eyes.Every domestic staff member was familiar with that reaction from him, which mostly occurs like thrice or four times a year.Anyone who has worked in the Shun's mansion need not be told what their master is c

    CHAPTER 81DYING OF DEPRESSION “Hey, is everything okay? ” Lila asked, feigning concern the moment Grey dropped the call.“Yeah, fine. Everything is okay,” he said with a twitch. Grey sighed heavily, trying to conceal his heartbreak in a mild smile but the sad look on his face was too evident to deceive even a blind man.“Oh, thank God, our food is here. Trust me, you'll like their meal, because I've been eating here often, and I can say with confidence that this is one of the best places to eat out,” Lila commented as soon as the waitress served their order and left.With her eyes fixed on the plate before her but obliquely gazing at Grey, she unwrapped her cutleries and began eating, but was surprised to see that Grey hasn't made any attempt of tasting his food.“Mr. Shun, you don't seem to be okay. I'm sorry, this might seem as if I'm prying into your personal life but you don't expect me to believe that everything is fine with you,” she insisted.Grey was still speechless with d

    CHAPTER 82THE UNEXPECTED As he approached the large building, which he recently bought with the intention of turning it into his second warehouse, Grey could hear the loud scream of an adult who was being tortured.“But I told him not to do anything to the culprit unless I see him myself,” he mouthed to himself with furrowed brows as he walked in.Soon his phone rang, causing him to halt his steps to check the caller ID before proceeding. He was reluctant at first to pick up the call, but when he thought of how important the caller is in his journey of life, he had no choice but to pick up the call.“Hello, ma'am Elena,” he said with a calm voice after heaving a sigh of relief.“Yes, Grey. I just wanted to know if you've found the culprit behind the burning of your warehouse. And if you need any help, please don't hesitate to put me in the know,” the woman's concerned voice echoed from the other end of the phone.Grey sighed and rolled his eyes before giving a reply, “Investigations

Only the terror in his eyes would be enough to smear one alive.Grey remained silent. Everything sounded unbelievable to him.“Boss, I'm still waiting for your response. What action would you like to take?” Mark asked again.With deadly bloodshot eyes, he peered into Mark's eyes and took a deep breath. “You know how best to handle this situation, right? Just make sure you don't take into consideration any relation that I and the woman shared. Deal with her accordingly,” Grey instructed and zoomed off with few words.At the Sims mansion, Elena was seated on the couch, drenched in tears as she held a frame of Cynthia in her hands while she thought of how life had turned against what she planned.“Don't worry, you'll soon be fine,” she mouthed to herself before jolting out of her thoughts when the door flung ope

Reluctantly, he tossed his hands and took it out, and seeing the caller ID, his face flushed with a frown before he hissed and rejected the call after seeing that it was the same mysterious number who was calling.“What the fuck! Is this person crazy?” He mumbled to himself furiously when the number kept calling persistently.I think I need to warn whoever is doing this nonsense!” He mumbled and picked up the call with fury when the number called for the twentieth time.“Are you crazy or something? In fact, who the hell do you think you are to make me waste precious time just because I was stupidly waiting for you? You know what, you're just lucky that I don't know your address or anything about you; if not, I swear, I'll do everything in my power to find you and make sure that you're well dealt with! Nonsens

Why are all these things happening to me!” He lamented, and before he knew it, his vision was getting blurred as tears clung to his lashes. Immediately, he hopped into his car and headed straight to the rehabilitation center. Since the day Cynthia was taken there, he had never bothered stepping his feet there to pay her a visit. “What the hell is going on?” he rambled inwardly after waiting at the reception for more than thirty minutes since when the nurse promised to inform him. Cynthia has a visitor. “What do we do, doctor? You know how powerful this man is; I'm afraid he might sue us in court if he learns that his wife had escaped!” The nurse explained in panic. “Give me a minute,” ’the doctor said and left with confidence. “D—doctor, is everything okay?

Marching towards the conference room, his mind kept racing, conceiving different thoughts regarding the urgent meeting. When he entered, all the members were seated with their faces tight up in a frown. From their expression, he can tell that the urgent meeting must have been arranged due to a pressing ugly event. “Good morning, everyone. I'm sorry for coming late,” he said apologetically as he sat down while his secretary stood beside him. “You don't need to apologize, Mr. Grey. We were the ones that organized the meeting without your consent, so we should be the ones apologizing instead,” one of the men said courtly. “Alright. So to what do I owe this important invitation from my dear shareholders? Please, I'll love it if we can conclude the meeting on time so I can get back to the bunch of work on my table.” Grey said with a polite tone as he rolled his

Did he travel?” Ethan asked with an inquisitive look while having breakfast with his mother.Lila took a deep breath before giving a reluctant reply to the curious little boy.“He didn't travel, Ethan, just that he has been busy at work recently,” she answered with a twitch.“So, what about Mr. Grey? Did you love him? Or—is he?”“Come on, Ethan.” Lila interrupted.“You don't need to talk while eating. Please, observe some table manners.” She reprimanded him, scaring the little boy.A few minutes later, little Ethan couldn't hold his silence anymore when he heard the persistent knocking on the door while his mother had left for the kitchen.“Mother, I think Mr. Grey is at the door,” he said.With a broad smile as she opened the door, Lila's brows furrowed with a fading smile at the sight of the unexpected figure at the door.“What are you doing here, Brian?” She asked with a frown while blocking his

I don't mind if you make a suggestion for the hospital of your choice,” he said calmly. The only response she could give was an unexplainable gesture in silence as she stuttered.“Grey, I—I don't think…”“Please, just this favor, and I'll be off your neck with disturbance,” Grey interrupted as he figured her response was going in the negative direction.Before she could utter another word, he was gradually leaning in as his hand met her cheek, and a warm whisper of his breath crashed against her skin until their lips met in a passionate, tender, and fier

She could feel her heart pounding in her chest, leaving her with no choice but to get a good parking space and stop. Her eyes were suddenly turning fierce as she stepped out of the car and leaned on it. With a fixed and bitter look at Grey, she lowered her head and wrapped her hands around her chest. “Ghmmm…ghmmmm…” She cleared her throat. “If you don't mind, Mr. Grey, can you repeat exactly what you said while I was in the car?” She asked, peering her inquisitive eyes on him. “What phrase didn't you understand, Lila? I simply asked why Ethan was proven not to be my son, yet you gave birth to him just nine months after our divorce. So, tell me, are you a harlot or just some chronic cheat who …” Slap!!! “How dare you come to my house and accuse me of some nonsense infidelity, Grey?” She cut his statement short as her hands met his cheeks with a resounding slap. “So, yo

    CHAPTER 92 THE DNA TEST “Mr. Brian, do you know that man? And why did we even come to the hospital, by the way?” Little asked with an inquisitive look after they left the hospital.Without a second thought, Brian answered wittily. “Sure, he's a friend, and—I actually wanted to see a doctor friend of mine, but unfortunately, he seems not to be on duty today.” Brian explained, convincingly and confusingly, to the little boy at the same time. “But—I think I know that man somewhere. He has once been to our house,” Ethan added. “What? No way!” Brian answered with furrowed brows. His mind began to race that the boy might tell his mother about meeting with Grey at the hospital. “I know who you are talking about, but this one is entirely a different person. In fact, he just returned from overseas yesterday. Probably, I think it should just be a resemblance, okay?” Brian explained, and the boy nodded. “Remember, every individual in this life has a lookalike somewhere he or she does

Sitting in the dining room while sipping a cup of tea, he heard a knock on his door. “Come in,” he said without hesitation, believing that it could be Lila, because most times she does pass by the house before she proceeds to her office, which is just a few miles away. “Lila, I thought…” he paused when he heard a masculine voice greeting. “You, what are you doing here?” Brian said with an agitating frown. “Calm down, man. I'm only here for peace, so no need for the violent attack.” Grey, he said softly as he moved closer. “Well, you have a nice apartment.” He said as he rolled his eyes around the corners of the room. “I know that already. Can you just go straight to the point? I've got a lot of things to do .” Brian said rudely. “Alright. The thing is… I'm here for a favor, which I need so desperately from you.” Grey mentioned and paused to take a deep breath. “I… I saw Lila with a

Don't worry, I'll explain everything to you once I'm done,” Lila said casually as she tried to avoid the little boy's question with a convincing peck on his cheek, but Ethan's smartness won't let him fall for her trick easily.“Come on, Ethan, have you forgotten that you have some homework to do? Let's get it done before your tutor comes.” Aunt Kendy convinced him when she saw the boy's hesitation to leave.“Answer my question, Lila. Whose son is he?” Grey insisted as his countenance began to turn unfriendly.“I don't owe you any explanations for the paternity of my son, Mr. Greyshun. Besides, where are your two daughters?” Lila responded with a straight face.Her hesitation made Grey's stomach churn. “Could it be that she was pregnant before the divorce?” he mouthed to himself. “Fine, I'll let that be. So what about the burning down of the warehouse? The condemnation of Cynthia's dress at the party? The cajoling of m

Stop pretending as if you don't know what I'm talking about!” Grey retorted, his voice rising to a higher pitch at every word she uttered. “Look, Mr. Grey, I still don't know what you are talking about. Have you started going insane? How can you barge into my house and start asking me questions about the same woman you betrayed and sent to her early grave?” Aunt Kendy ranted, threatening to call the police on him if he didn't disappear from her door. Her words sent a chill down his spine. Instantly, a wave of guilt blew over him. Every day of his life since the departure of Lila, he had been secretly living with that guilt of being the root cause of her death. Even though he never loved her, Cynthia has been unable to fill that space that she left. “Oh, are you still stan
