Chapter 364: Caught
‘Richard kidnapped us on our way out of Seattle," Caramel started. She felt really good after she heard that Grey was actually doing fine.
She would not have been able to forgive herself if something bad happens to Grey.
"Why were you trying to leave Seattle?” Alfred demanded.
Caramel regarded him for a moment. "I don't know. My memory isn't clear enough. I will let you know whenever I remember," she assured.
Alfred nodded once. "Continue," he ordered. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
"He asked us several questions which I refused to answer. My mother was taken away from me and I was beaten through the night," she looked away as if trying to remember everything very well. "When I woke up the next morning, my mother's corpse was lying beside me. Her face was battered and there was blood everywhere,’ she almost choked on her words.
Tears stung her eyes but she didn't want to cry, not yet.
"I cried severally only to discover I don't even remember anything, not even my name. When Richard came in and discovered. He probably decided to use it against me. So, he told me some lies about Grey."
"What were the questions he asked you? Can you remember one or two of them?’
"He asked me if Grey was Hercules but I refused to reply,’ Caramel responded as she flashed back to that exact moment when she felt like talking but she knew how much that would cost Grey. Grey was
going to die but she loved him too much to let him die. Eventhough_ there was something that was making her hesitate. But the more she tried to think about it, the more headache she got.
Alfred nodded briefly. "Thank you for not talking.”
Caramel looked at him and nodded once. “They demanded his contact but I didn't give it out. They searched through my phone but it was already deleted. There was no email or anything that could lead to him,” she looked away. "I made sure of that."
Alfred squeezed his face in concentration but he didn't want to go into what wasn't his concern. So, he decided to let it go.
"Please, proceed."
Caramel reasoned for another moment. “He told me that it was Grey that killed my mother. He told me that they just rescued me from the men he sent to kill us. So, they were going to help me take revenge on him," he revealed.
"Does Richard have someone he works for or does he work independently?’
Caramel squeezed her face as she tried to remember something. "I heard him call someone boss, just once.’
"You scared me, Grey. Why didn't you tell me this was all planned?" Aphrodite mumbled in anger.
Grey smiled softly. "I was going to discuss it with you guys after the party. I wasn't even expecting it to happen at the party.”
Gregory stretched a cup of coffee to him. ‘Well, that was brilliant but how did you even think of something like that?"
Grey smiled softly, took the cup, and sipped the coffee. ’ After I dropped the call, Alfred told me it was kind of weird that she would tell the men to call me and tell me she has regained her lost memory, exactly the moment when I had a party to attend. So, Alfred called his doctor."
"That's actually great. I didn't know you guys could plan it out so quickly.” Gregory muttered in surprise.
"Well, all thanks to Alfred's doctor. Though, I desperately thought Caramel had actually regained her memories. How is the party by the way?’
"Well, ongoing. Jamal decided to take it up. It would all be fine.” Aphrodite responded.
Grey groaned.
"Not really. I was really expecting to meet some people at the party. Maybe I would take a personal trip to meet them some other day."
“And well, it turns out that Caramel has eventually regained some of her memory,’ Gregory informed him.
Grey looked at him quickly, shocked for a moment.
" Seriously?"
"Yes," Gregory affirmed while Aphrodite looked away.
Aphrodite was a bit furious. Grey was still happy and eager to be with someone that almost killed him twice.
Grey stood. “I'm seeing her immediately. Where is she?"
"Do you think you should do that?’ Gregory rushed the question out, skeptical at Grey’s action. It only showed that he had really missed her so much.
"Well, people thought Hercules was brought here and they don't even know what I look like. I would just dress as Grey and leave. I can assign some men to stay watch so that people would still think I'm here,” he explained.
Gregory nodded briefly. "I think you are right but you will have to wait for clothes. I will get someone to bring you a different type of clothes that you can change into.”
Aphrodite stood up and walked out of the room without another word to both men.
"If the person was asking you if Grey was Hercules, then that only means they don't know the truth. Then, it’s not Giovanni. Someone else must have been behind it,” Alfred voiced out and looked at Caramel. ‘You don't have an idea of who the person can be?"
Caramel shook her head. ‘The only thing I know is that Richard's boss was willing to sponsor me to wherever I want to be after killing Grey. This was where I was going to the other day before Aphrodite caught me," she explained.
Alfred nodded once. There was no point asking her anything anyways since there was Richard. He brought out his phone and placed a call to Grey.
Grey picked it up immediately. “Hello, Alfred."
"Where are you? Can you come over to my house?"
"Sure, I'm on my way. I will be there in. jiffy,” Grey assured.
Alfred shook his head briefly in disbelief. His phone rang almost immediately and he thought it was Grey. But it wasn't, it was one of his men that he sent to Seattle.
"Hello boss, there's a good news.’
"What's it all about?"
"We have Richard already but we will need a private plane.” Alfred smiled softly. "On it."
