CHAPTER 252

Chapter 252: Confession

Grey drove right to Alfred’s house after work. Charles informed the elders about

the meeting and they decided to meet at Alfred’s house instead of going to the

hotel like they used to.

“How is he doing?” Grey asked when he settled down.

They all knew who he was referring to. And they knew it was only good that

Grey was taking care of him and not killing him for all he did.

“He’s getting better but he still hasn’t regained his memory,” Alfred revealed.

Enter title…

Grey nodded briefly. “Let’s go straight into the discussion then. I need the plan

to evaluate the spies once and for all. I need to officially pronounce myself

Hercules.”

Alfred regarded him for a moment. “Do you think it’s the time to do that?”

Gregory groaned. “I guess the time will never come, or will it?”

“Well, I don’t think we need to delay it any longer. Leo was the one that killed

the previous Hercules. I don’t think it should delay Hercules from pronouncing

himself.” Jayden explained.

Luciano sighed. “I think Jayden is right. We’ve been trying to hide Hercules’s

identity for more than ten years. He’s the mafia boss and he would need to

address his men sooner than later. It’s getting too late. I’m sure some of his men

believe he doesn’t exist.”

Alfred thought about it for a moment. “So, what’s your plan.” Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

“Pretending Hercules doesn’t exist,” Grey announced.

Charles sighed. “That’s actually a bit dangerous.”

Gregory nodded briefly. “Very dangerous. But the main thing is how do we let

Giovanni know about this? We need a plan.”

Alfred looked over at Gregory. “What? I don’t think this is something we should

do.”

“Why not? This won’t even hurt anyone.” Gregory protested.

“What about the men? There will be a great fall if they realized the mafia boss

was actually dead. I don’t think we should go that way. It’s really a dangerous

plan,” Jayden chimed in.

Grey let out a sigh. They were right. It’s just that he doesn’t know how else to

handle the situation.

“Well,” he sat up. “You guys should think about it. We will discuss it later,” he

stood and looked at Charles. “I need to speak with you for a moment.”

“I heard about the earlier event. Charles told me everything about Caramel. Are

you sure we can trust her?” Alfred asked suddenly.

Grey looked at him and nodded briefly. “Yes, because she gave Alex the wrong

strand of hair. So, at this moment, Alex doesn’t know who I really am. It would

be easier for them to believe Hercules doesn’t exist, to begin with.”

“But, what about the person that was invited to the billionaire club and the

Hercules that went to the company?” Charles questioned, disturbed.

Grey shrugged slightly. “A representative. That’s why the mask was there.”

Alfred sighed and went deep in thought.

Grey looked at Charles. “I need you to do something for me. Can you get five of

your men?”

Charles nodded once. “I can do that. What do you want them to help you for?”

“Don is bringing in some hard drugs, I’m going to plant it in Hattie’s company.

I’m going to need someone to make a report and get the police to see these

hard drugs,” he revealed.

“Giovanni is familiar with the police. They would end up releasing her,” Charles

muttered.

“Well, I know but that would keep her off till after CCS.”

Jayden stood as well. “I will report then. You can leave it for us. We will do it,” he

assured.

Grey nodded. “You can speak with Don concerning the drugs then. I will be on

my way home,” he announced and walked out of the living room.

Alfred walked him to the car. “Why don’t you let Leo regain his memories before

you showcase yourself? There might be more harm to it than you can see.”

Grey hesitated for a moment, as he remembered the promise he made to Tiana.

” No,” he shook his head slightly. “Todd is due for death. He has to die very

quickly. I can’t waste this perfect opportunity.”

Alfred nodded briefly. “We will talk about it later then.

Grey nodded once. “And there’s no need to wait for Leo because we don’t even

know when he would come around. That aside, he killed my father. Is there

more he wants to say?”

Alfred let out a sigh. “Why. I mean there’s no way he would just think of killing

your father without a genuine reason.”

“Well, there’s nothing like a reason! There’s no fucking way why he would kill his

best friend!” Grey responded in anger.” He doesn’t even have any reason and I

don’t want to hear more. He should be grateful I’m not killing him! That I’m not

avenging my father’s death!” He stated and entered his car. He pulled out into

the street. Somehow, he couldn’t stop blaming himself for

Samson’s death.

Had he known, he would have let the men watch over him. It was one of the

reasons why he had to take the position officially.

That aside, he didn’t want to think about Leo at all. He didn’t want to stress

himself over it because he would definitely get annoyed about it.

His phone rang suddenly, jerking him out of his thoughts when nothing else

would. He glanced down at the screen and went into a few minutes of shock.

Why was Avery calling him?

The phone stopped ringing, only for it to start again.

Grey pulled over to pick up the call. “Hi, Avery.”

“Hi, Grey. I’m in front of your house. Are you at home? Can we see for a few

minutes? I wouldn’t waste your time,” she rushed the word.

Grey could only stare for a moment, still shocked at what was happening. When

was the last time that he saw or spoke with

Avery? And he wondered what was going on.

Nevertheless, he sped up so he wouldn’t keep Avery waiting so long.

Truthfully, Avery was in front of the house.

Grey hurried down, not even able to drive into the garage. He moved closer to

her.

“Avery!” He called and she looked up at him, a smile on her face.

She looked different and Grey couldn’t guess what was going on.

“Hi, do you want to come inside?” Grey offered.

Avery thought for a moment and slowly shook her head. “No, actually. It’s alright

like this.”

Grey regarded her for a moment in silence.” Is something wrong?”

Avery looked away while dragging her breath. She didn’t even know where and

how to start but she know she had to see Grey and tell her something before he

leave.

“I’m leaving the city!” She said suddenly.

“What?” Grey raised skeptical brows at her.

She looked up and faked a smile. “I’ve made a decision to leave Jacksonville. It

seems like I don’t have much luck here,” she explained.

“Wait, Avery. Is something going on that I don’t know? Where are you going to?

And why are you leaving Jacksonville? What about LX company?” He

bombarded her.

Avery let out another sigh. “That’s like a story on its own, Grey. But there’s

something I really want you to know,” she hesitated as she gathered her

strength. “I love you, Grey.”
