CHAPTER 206
Chapter 206: Leaked
Grey unloose the ropes around her. It took some minutes but Caramel was as patient as she had
promised.
“Are the police outside?” she asked softly.
“No, but you will be fine, ” Grey promised and scooped her off the chair.
Caramel’s heart stopped for a moment. Along with the fact that she was feeling dirty and she was in
unbearable pain, she was still able to recognize what Grey’s closeness was doing to her. she didn’t
want to think of anything or why Grey didn’t want to remove the blindfold but she trusted him.
Grey moved between the men,m waiting outside for him. No one uttered a word since they got to
find out from Gregory that Grey didn’t want Caramel to recognize him with Gregory or with the men
in general.
Just as he moved towards his car, Richard came from behind and opened his mouth to say a word.
Grey slowly shook his head and looked down at Caramel.
Richard stepped back and opened the back door instead.
Grey carefully placed Caramel inside, closed the door, and moved to the driver’s seat.
Gregory was walking out when he switched on the ignition. He placed a finger beside his ear, made
a phone sign and mouthed the word, ‘I will give you a call?
Gregory nodded quickly, showing he understood him.
Grey pulled out into the street. He barely drove past Smooth Therapy when he suddenly pulled the
car to a sudden stop. He got down and moved to open the back seat.
He unloosened the blindfold and stared at Caramel. Her eyes were red with tears and there was
evidence of dried ones on her cheeks.
“Thank you,” she whispered and looked away.
Her body had traces of the ropes that were strongly tied around her. She pulled her legs closer to
herself like a shield, her mind still in a fuzzy manner about why she was kidnapped.
“Are you alright?”
Caramel nodded briefly but Grey knew it was the worst question to ask
someone that had just been kidnapped.
Grey sighed, “come here,” he said softly, and the intensity in his voice made
Caramel look at him. The tears dropped slowly as she ended up in his embrace
quickly before Grey would see the tears but he already did.
“You don’t need to hide from me, Caramel. Cry and complain if that will make
you feel better but I promise that it will be the last for you. I will not let this
happen to you again,” his voice went deeper with emotions and he knew how
much Caramel’s disappearance had affected him.
“I was so scared,” she whispered. “I thought I was going to die like my mother,”
she sobbed quietly.
Grey stroked her back slowly. What if she knew that Beatrice was her real
mother? Well, Beatrice doesn’t want that. He had to respect her decision.
“Thank you, Grey, for coming to my rescue,” she sobbed further.
“You can always count on me, Caramel and I won’t let you down. Just trust me.”
Caramel pulled back slowly. “I trust you, Grey.”
Grey smiled and wiped off the tears that streamed down her face. “ Are you
starving? Beatrice can make you something.”
Caramel regarded him for a moment. “You are taking me to your house?”
Grey nodded briefly. “We have enough rooms. So, you can even sleep over. I’m
sure Beatrice will be so happy to know you are back.”
Caramel made a genuine smile and it melted Grey’s heart. “I will love that. I
miss seeing Beatrice and having conversations with her,” she acknowledged.
Grey smiled as well. “Let’s hurry up then.”
Caramel nodded and pulled back so that Grey could close the door and move to
the driver’s seat.
For some unknown reasons, Caramel couldn’t help but think her kidnapping
might have to do with Alex but if that was the case, how did Grey get her out?
She didn’t want to ask since Grey doesn’t want to say anything. Maybe he
would, with time or maybe he’s still trying to keep her from something. Caramel
doesn’t care anyways because she knows that Grey wouldn’t hurt her. He was
still the best friend she had ever had.
The front door opened when Grey and Caramel got down from the car. owns all content.
Beatrice was waiting with this big smile on her face. “Come and give me a hug,
Caramel.”
Caramel walked closer, happy about it. she still felt dirty but Beatrice gave her a
bear hug.
“I hope they didn’t hurt you so much?” she inquired as she led her to the living
room, forgetting about Grey.
Grey smiled at how easily they caught up on things. It wasn’t really hard to
believe they were related by blood.
“Take this, it’s for energy. You should have it before you go in for a bath,”
Beatrice suggested.
Caramel nodded briefly as she took the juice from her and drank.
“Good, now go and have your bath. I will get some clothes for you,” she said
and disappeared up the stairs.
When Caramel looked back, she caught Grey staring, she smiled and moved closer.
“Beatrice didn’t show me the way to the room.”
Grey smiled. “Use the one you used the last time.”
Caramel flushed and turned to climb up the stairs. Beatrice walked down a few minutes later.
“Caramel is currently under the shower. We can talk right now,” she expressed and walked to the
kitchen.
Grey nodded once and followed behind. “What did Hattie say?”
“Well, it was as you predicted, she said she would only release Caramel after the recipe has been
proven. According to her, that would happen very soon,” she explained.
“That means we outsmart her,” Grey smiled softly. “I wonder what the look on her face would be
when she realized the truth.”
Beatrice smiled, overjoyed. “This all happened with your help. Thank you so very much,” she
appreciated deeply.
Grey watched her for a moment, as she turned to pick some carrots for chopping. “Caramel was
scared, she thought she was going to die as her mother did. why don’t you just let her know the
truth?”
Beatrice sighed. “Do you think I should?”
“Well, she deserves to know the truth. It’s left to her if she would accept it or not.”
“But knowing the truth would mean telling her you are not my son.”
Grey didn’t reason it that way but it was the fact. There was no way he would allow Caramel to call
him a brother when they aren’t even related by blood.
“Is that true?” A feminine voice suddenly added to the conversation.
Grey and Beatrice turned to look at Caramel
