Chapter 294: Where's Hercules
"What does it mean?" Alex probed in. He doesn't even understand anything as he didn't check anything because he was waiting for Giovanni to arrive. The only thing he was sure of was that Hattie was murdered.
Giovanni looked up at him, while his hand crushed the cardboard. "It's Hercules and guess what? The result is out."
"Seriously? Is Grey who we have been looking for?"
Giovanni nodded briefly. "And I think he's trying to wage war or something. Maybe he's finally ready for direct opposition."
Alex went into shock for some minutes which looked like an hour. "What! Grey is Hercules?"
Giovanni nodded briefly. "He has been playing with us all these while."
Yes, he has, like a chess game.
Alex couldn't speak for a moment. It felt like he had the world dropped on him. How could Grey be Hercules? It doesn't even make any sense. It doesn't at first but somehow, it was starting to make sense.
"Grey was Hercules and he lied that he was dead? But what about the hair? I clearly did a test on it," he mumbled.
Giovanni sighed. "He probably planned it with Caramel. I'm sure Caramel knows who he really is."
Alex felt a stab of annoyance. Caramel knew but she pretended otherwise. She was ok with Grey but she wasn't ok with him. In fact, Caramel betrayed him. A lot of emotions cuddled up in him in a sort of crazy confusion.
"What are we going to do now? Announce him? We should let everyone know who he really is."
Giovanni thought for a moment. "It would look silly if we do it without evidence. We have been uploading a lot of things about
Hercules that most people wouldn't believe anything concerning it again. I have the evidence at home. We will upload the evidence with it." He announced.
Alex nodded briefly. "What about Leo?"
"I don't know if he still works for me. I will try to contact him," he explained before he walked away.
Alex still couldn’t believe that Grey was Hercules. He had Hercules beside him all these while but he didn't even know.
Well, there was a red flag. Grey founded Victoria Skincare and Hattie said his recipe was exactly the one Victoria uses. The only conclusion they could come to terms with was that Beatrice or Hercules sold the recipe to him.
But it turned out that he was just heading his mother's dream company.
"I'm worried," Aphrodite muttered worriedly as she got down from the car.
"Don't be," Jayden assured. "I'm sure Grey would be in the estate If he's not in his house in Jacksonville. There's nowhere he could go."
Aphrodite nodded briefly. "You are right. He must have come here out of anger and sadness," she noted
Grey had been nowhere to be found ten hours earlier. At first, they decided to let him be but the news of Hattie’s death caught their attention.
They needed no one to tell them who could have killed Hattie. It was definitely Grey. Though, they marvelled at how fast and easier that came for him.
Hattie had entourages but Grey bypassed them. He was indeed a Hercules blood.
Well, what that told them was that Grey was angry and who knows what might happen next. Grey has been going easy on the opposition these days but it was great.
Acting things without proper planning might lead to a failed plan.
Aphrodite and the elders spent some hours at the hospital because of Charles. The doctor was Alfred's closest friend or they might have worried them about the bullet they found on Charles.
And for Charles, there was good news and bad news. The good news, the bullet missed slightly. So, he was going to live. The bad news was that he slipped into comatose immediately and no one could say when he would wake up.
Grey wasn't even available. So, there was no way they could tell him the news.
They walked inside. There were men everywhere, guarding the estate. Also, Jane and Tina were currently being held hostage. So, there had to be men to guard the place.
Grey was supposed to decide their fate after the proclamation if Leo had spilled the milk at that moment.
"And you sincerely think that Grey is here?" Aphrodite let out her doubts.
Jayden nodded briefly. "He should. I'm positive," he assured.
As they stepped inside the spacious living room, the men took a bow.
"If he's in, the men would definitely know," Jayden announced and moved closer to the men.
Aphrodite hesitated and stared behind him. She pulled out her phone and dialled Grey's number again, for the umpteenth time that day.
It was unavailable, as usual. Aphrodite was really worried.
If Giovanni knows about Grey already, doesn't that mean trouble? Giovanni could be out looking for him.
The worst was that he could have seen and captured him.
A lot of thoughts were going through Aphrodite's head.
Jayden walked back to Aphrodite with a sigh. "Grey isn't here. No one has been here, except the last time Don came here with Tiana and the two ladies. But who are those ladies?"
Aphrodite sighed and looked away. "It was an order from Hercules. There should be somewhere else. There should be a place where Grey could be. But where can that be?"
Jayden regarded Aphrodite for a moment. "You are right. There should be and I think Alfred should be able to guess," he pulled out his phone and placed a call to Alfred.
Alfred picked it up immediately. "Have you guys seen Grey?"
"No, but we are guessing you should have an idea of where he is. There should be a place you've gone with him or perhaps he had mentioned.
There should be a clue as to where he can be," he expressed.
Alfred hesitated as he thought about it. "Maybe there is. Have you checked out his parent cemetery? His parents were buried separately. You could check those places. But since we are talking about his father, he could probably be there. Or maybe he went to both. So, I suggest you split."Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
