CHAPTER 268

Chapter 268: Comeback

Leo couldn't stop pacing. He felt restless, not after what he heard about Grey.

He walked to the living room and saw that Alfred wasn't back. It could mean that Grey might be in severe danger. The thought of it increased his heart beat.

Actually, Leo remembered everything. He was just scared of letting Grey know the truth. He felt guilty anyways, that was why he stood off all these years. He couldn't bring himself to face Grey and tell him the truth.

But if something really did happen to Grey, what would be his existence in life? And would Grey ever forgive him if he kept shut about it and pretended he didn't remember anything?

He hit his head several times as the front door opened. He stopped and looked ahead as Alfred walked inside, followed closely by Charles and Grey and a lady he didn't seem to recognize.

Grey hesitated to look at Leo. "Is he," he turned toward Alfred.

"Alright?"

Alfred nodded briefly as he pulled out his phone to call a doctor.

"Any first aid box? He won't stop bleeding!" Tiana called out.

"On it," Alfred responded and hurried inside, still on the call. owns all content.

Leo felt dumbstruck. He wanted to talk initially but the boldness left him. He doesn't even know how to start. The words felt too strong for him to say. But he would need to talk about it sooner than later.

"I will speak with Maria and Jimmy tomorrow. I will be here by morning. I don't want Giovanni and the rest to suspect anything," Grey said as Tiana started applying first aid treatment to his hand.

"Alright. I will tell them that," Charles stood and was about to step out when he stopped and turned toward Grey. "When are we having the meeting with the men?"

"Giovanni will call off the men today but it might be tomorrow before every one of them leaves. The men will take note of this. We will have a tag that will be presented to our men for identification for now. The meeting will be held tomorrow night on the ship. I will make my comeback," he swore.

Charles nodded briefly and regarded Leo for a moment before he stepped out.

Grey looks down at Tiana. "You are taking your revenge tonight. Fred and Todd will die," he assured.

Tiana looked up at him for a moment. "I want to be the one to kill them."

"Access granted," and he pulled out his phone and placed a call to Don. He picked it up immediately.

"Good day boss."

"How about the assignment I gave you?"

"Secured boss. I'm in the club where Todd is currently. He seemed to be happy as if he was celebrating something."

Grey smiled. He must be happy that Grey was gone and Hercules wasn't alive to start with.

"And Fred?"

"With him, boss. They are really having a celebration. Though, men are guarding them."

"Good. Take the men, Tiana will be with you soon. Give her the opportunity to shoot the bullet through their hearts."

"Understood boss!"

Grey hung up and looked at Tiana.

"I want to hear the news tomorrow. I want to see them dead."

Tiana sobbed slightly.

"I will avenge my son’s death and make you proud," she finished with the bandage and left.

Alfred returned inside.

"The doctor is on his way. What's your plan? If Giovanni spreads the news about you, you won't only have to show your face to Giovanni but to the world as well. Are you up for it?"

Grey turned away.

"I am but it's not yet the time. Giovanni wouldn't be able to spread anything about me if they don't see any corpses in the river. They would be confused, while they are at it, we will drop ours. With Todd's death, it would be more complicated."

Alfred nodded briefly

"Excellent idea, Grey. I love the way you reason. Are you staying over tonight?"

Grey shook his head briefly.

"I have to return home. I have some explanation to give to Beatrice."

That aside, he needed to stop Alex from seeing Caramel.

"You can take one of my cars then."

Charles walked inside. "Maria is on her way here with your briefcase and phones," he announced.

‘Tell her to go to my house. I will meet her there. No one must see her come here. It will be dangerous for her. And we don't know who might be spying on her."

Charles nodded briefly and stepped out to call Maria again.

The door opened almost immediately and the doctor stepped inside. "I'm sorry for coming late, is everything alright?"

"Just make sure the wound doesn't get infected," Alfred told him and he got to work.

Grey sighed.

"I’m fine though," he complained.

Within some minutes, Grey was done and was already driving home alone. He told Charles to go home. They would plan the necessary tasks by the next day.

Grey got a call from Tiana a few minutes ago that they were at the club already.

Acar suddenly appeared out of nowhere and pulled over in front of him, thereby blocking his way. He was forced to pull over as well.

Did Giovanni already realise he wasn't dead? That he sent men after him? That wasn't really possible. It has to be someone else.

The door opened and some men hurried out of the car, holding metals and baseball sticks. They had this dangerous look on their faces.

Grey didn't do anything and just watched them move closer to him.

"Hey! You must be Grey right?" one of the men demanded.

Grey nodded briefly. It was already confirmed at that moment that it wasn't Giovanni or Alex that sent the men after him.

Then, who can this be?

‘Yes, what can I do for you?" Grey feigned an innocent look.

"Get the fuck out!" one of the men yelled at him as he pulled the door open by force.

Grey looked up at them.

"Who sent you?"

One of the men held him by the collar and pushed him against the car.

"No problem. Since you will be dying tonight, we might as well answer your question. Lawrence sent us."
