Grey got out of bed so late in the morning. He hesitated briefly in front of the mirror in the bathroom and took a deep look at himself.Grey suddenly felt like he was getting older. Maybe he was but he was still sad that there were many things he hadn't done so far.He still had a long way to go and he couldn't afford to tally.A soft knock sounded on the door suddenly as he walked out of the bathroom. His phone rang at the same time.He hesitated briefly before he reached for the phone.“Yes, come in,” he muttered.The door opened and Charles walked inside. “Grey.”Grey looked up from the phone. “Yes?” He picked up the call without looking at the screen. “Hello.”“Boss, I've just received news,” the familiar voice said.Grey glanced at the screen. “Gregory?”“Yes, boss. We've succeeded,” he announced.Grey went silent for a moment, as he contemplated on it. He didn't understand at first, until when he looked at Charles.“The news_” Charles stressed.Grey turned to his TV set and gr
Grey poured himself some wine, took the cup, and gulped the content down in a go.“Somehow, this wine tastes good.“Charles laughed and walked out of the kitchen. He placed a plate of pizza in the middle of the table.“Who would have thought you would let me make something today?”“Because I'm happy, Charles. Or I would never let you make my food. Why will I even do that?”Charles laughed. “I want to treat your fuck up sometimes.”Grey smiled and looked at Jimmy and Mark. “What are you guys still doing there? Aren't you hungry?”Jimmy looked at Mark and smiled softly. They walked closer.“Oh, what!” Charles feigned surprise. “You guys didn't join me in the kitchen, what makes you think I want you to eat my food? This food is mainly for Grey! Though, I might be the only one to eat the pizza,” he joked.They all burst into laughter.Charles removed the apron around her neck and sat. “The party is in three hours. So, let's have this.”Grey nodded once. “Let's do it. Oh, that reminds me,
Grey was not only surprised but disappointed. Didn't he discuss everything with Avery and she did say she was going to listen to him?Though she wasn't clear about it, Grey expected her to listen. Why was she even stubborn?“Boss,” Charles called suddenly, pulling Grey out of his mini-thought. “Is something wrong?”Grey looked at Charles. “I just saw Avery. Or are my eyes playing tricks on me? Isn't that Avery?”Charles looked ahead, “The lady in black dress?”Grey looked up again and a flash of disappointment mirrored his face. “No, not a black dress. She was wearing a long red dress,” he explained as his eyes frantically searched the whole area but the lady was gone.Charles looked at Grey. “Could it have been your eyes? There's no other lady.”Grey groaned inwardly. “I know what I saw, Charles and you know that. I'm good with sight. I really did see a lady wearing a red dress. If at all I'm mistaken, then it could be about Avery because I didn't see her face, I only saw her backsid
How was that even possible? The watch was the only one in the country then. There was no way anyone would have imitated it then unless the person just saw it.Could someone have brought it?“Yes, I didn't expect to see you here either, after all that we have discussed.”Avery smiled softly. “The last time I checked, you can only advise me but you can't order me around. Anyways, enjoy the party,” she finished and walked away while swinging her body left and right.Grey regarded her for a moment and turned to Charles. “Are you sure about it?”Charles nodded once. “I'm so sure. Unless there's already an imitation of it, if not, that's the watch we have been looking for,” he explained.Grey shook his head briefly. “How is that even possible?Maximo looked at Grey. “Is everything alright?”Grey nodded once. “The watch around Avery's neck looks like my father's watch. Maybe it's a limitation anyway.”“Maybe but I doubt it is, unless she doesn't know. Avery is a woman of high status. Don't y
The blaring of music from the house was the only evidence that Grey needed to know that his girlfriend, Nora, was really celebrating her birthday. But she told him she wouldn't. And Grey didn't understand why she would lie to him. They've been dating for six months now. Grey opened the door, and Nora and several friends were dancing together. Grey was really unhappy, he called Nora’s name several times but she didn’t hear that because of the loud music. Rushing to her, Grey grabbed Nora’s hand, Nora held his hand too and turned her face to Grey with a sweet smile. But when she saw Grey’s angry face, her smile disappeared. “Why did you come here?” Nora asked calmly. Grey said,” I think you told me that you wouldn’t celebrate your birthday, so now what’re you doing? Why are you lying to me?” Nora responded mockingly, “I had a lot of friends. They have decided to celebrate for me. It wasn't a big deal, anyway you didn't even have money to do it for me!”. Grey was in silence, he h
Grey looked back at Nora, at the woman he gave his heart to the moment he was lost, the moment it felt like he would never find happiness in life. He stared up at Seth for a moment, at the arrogance and the stupid smirk on his face. Well, he had everything under his control while the only thing Grey had was Nora. But not anymore. Nora was going to leave him as well. “Nora, is this true? Or is this a prank?” He asked softly. Nora sighed, “Yes Grey, we are breaking up. Here’s Seth, my new man,” she introduced and Tracy squealed with happiness. Grey doesn’t even know what was making her so happy. If he ever had a way to pay back, the first person he would teach a great lesson was Tracy. And the sad thing was that she never loved him. And he really thought they both had something for each other. Grey bit back his tears, he wouldn’t cry. “Poor guy, you didn’t even touch this woman’s hands right? You’re really pathetic.” “If you can lick my shoes, I may give you a job as a security
Avery gave him a dirty glare. "What sort of question is that? I should be asking you!"The door opened almost immediately and King walked in, with a wide smile on his face. "I knew you were always with men. I just don't know why grandfather wouldn't trust me on it."" What the fuck are you saying!" Avery snapped. " I know nothing. I don't even know how this idiot got on my bed!" She argued.Smith smiled and took out his phone to take a shot. Grey was watching the drama, unable to ascertain what was really happening.Avery got up quickly. " Please, don't do this. I have no idea how it happened!" She pleaded and moved closer to him.Smith scoffed. " Too late, I have already sent it to my grandfather.""Damn!" Avery yelled and fell to the floor. She couldn't stop the mad beating of her heart. The thought of how much her grandfather would be disappointed in her ate her raw."Hey! What am I doing here!" Grey yelled suddenly, finally able to locate his voice. At first, he thought he was dre
He staggered back to get his trouser from the bed. He was still feeling dizzy when he managed to slip his trouser on.The man sensing his actions guarded him to the car. Grey only had to tell the driver his address and didn't even know when they got home.When he stepped out, he stopped suddenly as he felt peace overtaking him. Suddenly, he wasn't feeling pain as he initially was. It felt like he was healing up. The pain coming from his nose was also gone.No, that wasn’t it. It was his determination that was making his blood boil. What if there was something about himself that he doesn’t know? He couldn’t just drop from the sky, something must be connected to him.It was at that moment that he was determined to get back his memory at all cost. Perhaps, there was more to him that he didn't know..The drive to the party was longer than Grey had expected. Dressed in a black suit that he had struggled to buy after his third salary, and a black shoe, Grey complimented it with his goodloo
