CHAPTER 222
Chapter 222: Rage
Just as Giovanni opened his mouth to say something, a man in a suit hurried closer to him and whispered something in his ears.
At this, Giovanni’s eyes went wide with shock. “Are you sure?”
The man nodded briefly. “Very sure, I saw when he entered the car and they drove away”
Alex regarded his father for a moment. Did something happen? Is something wrong?”
Giovanni ignored Alex’s questions and instead looked at Hattie Leo is alive”
Hattie’s eyes went wide with shock as well while Alex stood stil, skeptical “Who the fuck is Leo”
Giovanni eventually looked at him. “We need to discuss this elsewhere We are leaving immediately,” he told the man.
The man bowed slightly and walked away.
“I will tell you all you need to know when we get home This isn’t the right place for it,” he informed Alex Alex nodded in understanding.
Grey drove right behind Alfred’s car, his mind in deep thought The mask was still on his face and he barely noticed.
He remembered the first time he saw Leo That day, he thought he actually hallucinated He couldn’t believe it was the truth. Leo was alive?
Well, he saw no reason why he would die. Grey saw him shoot his father and then, him. There was no way he could have died unless he killed himself. If he did, how did Grey meet himself in the
orphanage?
Grey had questions but the answers eluded him. It felt as though his head was going to explode any moment from that time.
“Boss, the mask,” Richard reminded softly, jerking Grey out of his thoughts.
Grey sighed and eventually pulled the mask off.
He had a lot of things to ask Leo. He wanted to ask him why he killed his father Why did he kill his long- time friend? It doesn’t make sense no matter how much he thought about it, except if Charles was the
reason.
Well, when Grey was gone, Charles was able to have his position to himself.
Though, it was still strange. Leo could have shot him in the head or the heart. Leo could have shot him at places where he knew Grey wouldn’t have survived it. Why didn’t he?
The car went into Alfred’s garage and Grey followed suit.
He pulled over and got out of the car. Richard does the same and hurries behind him.
The elders were out of the cars as well and walking towards the last one where Charles was in.
“It’s really Leo!” Alfred was too shocked to move.
Charles was dumbfounded. “We buried my father! How come he’s still alive?”
The question landed on the wrong place in Grey and he turned to fire Charles a dirty stare. “Don’t ask that
question, Charles. You do know what your father looked like! If he was the one, you would know!” He snapped
Charles shook his head briefly.” He was burnt beyond recognition. The house exploded,” he revealed. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
Grey regarded Charles for a moment, in shock. Actually, the shock replaced the anger in him. “What do you mean? The house?”
Charles nodded quickly and briefly. The house was set ablaze. My father burnt to death.”
Grey took two heavy strides toward Charles and took him by the collar. “What are you talking about? You knew the truth! You weren’t shocked when I told you about it! How the fuck did you know!” He yelled to
his face.
Charles clenched his teeth but didn’t reply.
Grey felt a stab of annoyance and his blood was boiling with anger. He regarded Charles for a moment and suddenly let him go. He pulled at the gun hanging carelessly in Richard’s pocket.
He took it, cocked it, and pointed it at Charles. “Start talking before I pull the trigger.”
“What the fuck is this? What is happening?” Jayden asked, skeptical.
*Please, Hercules. You have to calm down. Please, don’t kill one of your elders,” Alfred beseeched softly
Grey face hardened the more.” He better start talking or I’m going to actually pull the trigger!” He yelled in a deep voice that was filled with anguish “I’m going to kill you before you all actually kill me as you’ve killed my father!”
Charles looked at him. “I didn’t kill your father.”
“But you do know who did! Didn’t you?” Grey snapped.
“Wait!” Gregory said at once. “I seem to be lost here,” he looked at Grey. “You know who killed your father? And, Charles knows as well?”
Grey ignored him and instead started to pull at the trigger. “Tell him to fucking talk before I kill him!”
‘Boss’ You have to talk to us! You have to take this easy!” Luciano beseeched, disturbed
*No, let him shoot. If that’s what would take off the anger, then he has to do it,” Charles said softly
Grey’s fist clenched even harder around the gun, as images rolled off his eyes. There were images of when his father was killed, of when he was shot And the fact that Leo was the culprit or the fact that Charles knew that the culprit still lives made him even angrier.
Grey had an inner fight as he struggled to pull the trigger and kill Charles but he couldn’t. Charles was one of his elders The decision felt like a thousand
Grey yelled suddenly, as he fired the shot!
But he was fast enough to have moved his hand slightly so that the bullet would pass Charles and enter a car behind him
Charles’ eyes were closed as he anticipated death. And when he realized that several minutes had passed and he was fine, he opened his eyes only to discover that Grey didn’t shoot.
Grey turned around in anger and despair. He was so angry and full of sadness. His heart ached so much that he couldn’t stop the pain. He yelled again, this one louder, and sent thousands of sad messages.
The elders couldn’t say anything and just watched. They had no idea what was really happening and no one could talk at that moment. If Aphrodite was around, maybe she would have been able to help.
It was after some minutes that he cooled down, breathing heavily. When he turned around to face the elders again, his face was as red and as hard as stone.
He didn’t cry but one would know he had passed through something very hard at that moment.
“Let’s talk tomorrow about all these. I will tell you everything,” Grey muttered.
“And Leo? Do you want to speak with him?”
*If I see him, I will shoot him!” He pushed the words out forcefully, leaving the elders except Charles dumbfounded.
