Chapter 366: Fear
"I'm so sorry- please, forgive me, Hercules," Richard stuttered while vibrating as well.
Grey released him suddenly and he fell to the floor with a thud. "Are there more? Start talking before I get even angrier!" He yelled.
Richard nodded briefly. “I will say everything, I promise!"
"Then start talking!" He yelled again in a deep and frightening voice that Caramel and Richard jerked backward. Grey was too distracted to notice Caramel.
"Since she lost her memory, we couldn't follow his plan. We had to think of something else. So, I came up with this plan. We decided to let Caramel kill you," he explained. "It was the best plan anyways. Since she was closer to you, she could kill you. We thought that when you are dead, you wouldn’t be able to stop US from getting the deal. You are the only one that can stop it anyways,” he explained.
Grey regarded him for a moment as a lot of thought went through his mind. “What deal is that?"
"From the Protos Pubblicita. It’s the newly released deal worth millions,” he revealed.
Grey remembered it clearly. He had just been too busy to supervise it very well.
"What are we going to do now?” Alfred asked suddenly.
Grey watched Richard for a moment while thinking about what they were supposed to do.
"We will call Seth and inform him that Hercules is really dead. And Richard would be the one to do that,” Grey explained.
Alfred nodded once and looked at Richard. "What did you save Seth as on your phone?"
"Boss Seth,” he responded.
Alfred searched through the call history and found him. He signalled one of the men closer. They took the phone from him and moved closer to Richard.
Alfred had already placed it on speaker. So, they could all hear the phone ring. It didn't take a while when a deep voice coughed suddenly.
"Hello, Richard. What has been happening to your phone all this while? I've been trying it.”
"I'm sorry, boss but," Richard hesitated as he looked at Grey. "I had to make sure I was safe before making this call. That aside, I'm currently with Caramel and she confirmed that Hercules is dead,” he revealed
“Seriously?” Seth inquired. "Are you sure about this? I thought you said he wasn't?"
Richard swallowed harder. "Yes but Caramel just got to my place. She said she found it difficult to call me back as she.," he hesitated as he thought of what to say.
"Lost her phone," Alfred mouthed the word for him quickly.
"Lost her phone. Yeah, she's here. You can speak to her."
Grey looked at Caramel and nodded slightly, with a nice smile.Caramel stood up and moved closer to Richard.
"Yes, let her speak. Put her on the phone,” Seth ordered, still not believing what Richard had said.
Caramel stopped in front of Richard and took the phone from him. "Hello boss, I want to inform you that Hercules is dead. He was poisoned in the billionaire party. I've avenged my mother's death," she muttered.
Seth felt a feeling of happiness overwash him at the announcement. "Good job. Now, give the phone to Richard."
Caramel stretched it out to Richard. He took it. "Yes boss, it's Richard."
"Good job Richard, your plan worked. But are you sure that Caramel doesn't remember anything?"
Richard looked up at Caramel. “Yes, she doesn't."
Seth released a sigh. "Nice. Then, you should stop paying for the oxygen. Leave her mother to die. I have no plan of wasting more money on something I won't benefit from."
Grey's eyes went wide with shock. "What," he muttered in a low voice so that Seth wouldn't hear him.
"Alright boss, bye for now,” Richard finished and hung up.
"What did you just say? Does it mean my mother is alive?” Caramel questioned.
Richard sighed, as he didn't even know how to start explaining.
"You had better start now before you get me angry!" Grey yelled at him.
Richard shivered. "I will tell you everything,” he swallowed harder. "Your mother," he looked at her. "Is not really alive but she’s not dead either." Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
"What do you mean?" Caramel's voice shook with tremors.
"We drugged her to let US do what we must with you, Caramel. But we might have given her an overdose because she’s refusing to wake up,” he revealed.
"What?" Caramel collapsed.
"What do you mean by she's refusing to wake up? What did you give her?" Grey demanded in a thick voice.
"I'm sorry but she has been hospitalised. But she wouldn't wake up. The doctors guaranteed she might never wake up.” He confessed.
Grey's blood boiled with anger at the thought of it. He looked at Alfred.” You need to send your men to get Beatrice here. She will get treated by your doctor."
Alfred nodded briefly and looked at the two men standing behind Richard.” You just heard what Hercules said. You guys should get prepared to leave immediately."
The men nodded briefly and pulled Richard up.
"You will tell us where she is," one of the men warned and dragged him out of the room.
Grey looked at Alfred. "Richard is going to die for even tampering with Caramel and Beatrice. Tell them to kill him the moment Beatrice is on the plane,” he ordered.
Alfred nodded briefly and pulled out his phone. He moved aside to call one of the men. Grey on the other hand moved closer to Caramel and pulled her up slowly. He patted her back while Caramel cried again.
"My mom might never wake up again," she sobbed even harder.
"She will be fine, I promise. I will do all in my power to make sure she wakes up and I will make sure you don't come to any harm again. This, I promise."
Caramel cried the more, against his chest. It breaks Grey's heart to see her cry so he hugged her even tighter.
At one point, after Alfred had gone out, Grey pulled Caramel back to kiss her.
Caramel didn't respond at first but she didn't push him away.
And then, she started to see the images again. She started to remember things that she didn't. It started with the kiss she got from Grey.
And. she remembered the pregnancy and what had happened to it. And why she had been trying to stay away from Grey. She jerked backward suddenly and her eyes went wide with shock as the images continued to flash through her eyes.
