CHAPTER 274
Chapter 274: The Video
Alex was at the bridge until it was fully bright in the morning. The men have been searching the water since morning for a piece of evidence that Grey was dead.
Alex didn't want to give his father a false alarm which was why he made the men search further into the water.
Could the sharks have gotten to him? Or other sea animals? Yes, that could have been the case but there would have been evidence. There should have been something that would indicate that Grey was really in the water, that he really died.
"Fuck!" Alex cursed severally as he stared up at the sky. It was too light. Cars were already moving across the bridge. It would take a few more minutes before they would notice them. "Why the fuck is he nowhere to be found!" He yelled with frustration.
‘There’s no shoe! No blood! No torn clothes! Nothing!" He paved restlessly.
One of the men hurried closer to him. "We need to leave, boss, it's already morning," he advised.
Alex regarded him for a moment with clenched teeth before he yelled again. ‘Tell the men to withdraw!" He forced the words out and turned around to leave.
But he couldn't stop thinking. There was something else going on that he didn't know. Something must have taken his body from the water but what could that be?
Or- could Grey be alive?
The mere thought of it almost made him stop breathing but that was the only explanation he heard. There was nothing else that was making sense.
But how could it have happened? How did Grey escape?
Alex punched the wall angrily and watched the blood dropdown. He was so mad at everything. He watched the car drop into the water. What could have happened? How could he have escaped? Grey was within his grasp. He could have killed him by himself. It only cost him a few minutes. He could have hung him and watched him die. He could have squeezed the air out of him.
Alex placed a call to Giovanni. He needed to inform him about the progress. Giovanni didn't pick up. It was late anyway as the CCS was going to start very soon.
What if Grey shows up there? What if he won the award? His company has been topping and going against Hattie.
Alex was getting really furious at the fact that his father wasn't picking up. After several rings, he threw the phone against the wall. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
If Grey was really alive, he was going to kill him. And this time, he was going to have to do it himself and watch him die. He wouldn't live until he was sure with his eyes and everything that he could use that he was dead.
Since Giovanni wasn’t picking up, he would be making the plan by himself.
He turned to look at one of his men. "Get prepared, we are going somewhere and this time you guys have to be on full watch."
The guy nodded and was about to step out but Alex's voice stopped him. He turned around to look at Alex again.
"Send a man to my father and inform him of the situation. Meanwhile, send someone else to get me a new phone."
"Yes boss," the man bowed and walked out of the room.
Alex yelled and threw invisible punches around.
"I will be streaming the video online the moment you inform us to drop it," Jimmy expressed.
Maria nodded briefly.
"I will have to select a few of our most trusted workers to help me on this if we will be taking on so many magazines and filling the city with news of you," she explained.
Grey nodded once. ‘That's fine. Just make sure they are thoroughly checked through."
Maria nodded. "I guarantee it. It will go smoothly. I’ve already been watching a few people. So, you shouldn't bother about it," she assured him.
Grey nodded again and put on his suit jacket. Charles got him a change of clothes befitting his status as Hercules, the most expensive suit in the world.
Maria and Jimmy have set up the necessary camera and whatever they needed. The only thing left was for Grey to dress up so that they could start the video.
Grey relaxed in the seat and wore his face mask. The camera was supposed to take his eyes alone. As he had decided, he wasn't going to reveal himself just yet.
"So, we are set," Grey said suddenly and crossed his long legs.
"Ok, I'm going to start recording in three minutes," Jimmy announced as he moved closer to the camera. "One-," he started.
‘Two- and three-"
"Hi everyone, my name is Grey Fox and I’m Hercules." Grey started in a deep voice to mask his natural voice.
Jimmy nodded briefly as a way to tell Grey he got everything in control and the recording was doing well.
"I heard about the news circulating concerning me. Some people think I'm dead or maybe I don't exist. It could be because I didn't show myself all this while. I did anyway, once but I don't know why the media are finding it very difficult to believe," he hesitated.
"I'm alive, hale, and healthy."
Maria was jotting down Grey's words so she could add them to their magazine.
"Hercules isn't dead. My father died ten years ago but not me. The reason why I'm not showing myself to the public is that I like to keep things private. I've been doing things like that for a while now and I'm not ready to change it, not so suddenly, not because I've been pressured." He looked at Maria as if waiting for her to finish writing.
"I'm coming out soon and I will be addressing the public soon. Soon, at least before the next red carpet day. I am and will still be the richest man in Jacksonville. Don’t be deceived and stop fake news. I'm real and alive."
When Grey looked up, Leo was by the door staring at him with a scared expression.
