Avery opened the door and stepped inside. Grey was still sleeping when she moved closer.While Grey was getting treated, she went out to get some flowers and snacks.She expected Grey to be awake in a few minutes. So, he would be able to eat. She was so worried earlier. What would she do if something truly had happened to him? She might not have been able to get on with her life.Damn! She really loved him so much.She watched him for a moment, at how peaceful he looked while asleep. She released a sigh, glad at the improvement so far.She placed the flowers and the snacks on the table beside him before she walked out again.She needed to meet with the doctor to hear about Grey's condition.“Hold on, Signora!” A voice called out softly, just as the elevator door was closing.Avery stopped it in time for a young lady to enter.“Thank you so much! Signora!” She laughed. “It's so hard coming up here.”Avery managed a smile.The old woman looked up at Avery. “Do you work here or are you
Consciousness returned to Grey slowly and his gaze searched around.Where was he?A slight headache hit in. He groaned and reached for his head.“Are you alright?” A soft voice asked suddenly.He looked up at a pair of brown eyes. Wait, a nurse?“Yes, just a slight headache,” he responded.The nurse smiled down at him. “You will be fine with this,” she assured and raised a syringe. She regarded him for another moment before she injected him.Grey didn't flinch. It was as if nothing penetrated him. Well, a lot had penetrated him before. What more could a syringe do?“Wow, I'm impressed,” the nurse smiled.Grey didn't really remember anything. In fact, the headache was making it difficult for him. But then, the pain ebbed away slowly as the nurse had said.“Where am I?” He said and groaned inwardly. “I know this is a hospital. I'm sorry for that stupid question.”The nurse laughed.He did as well. “I mean how did I get here?”“Well, your girlfriend brought us here. She stepped out a few
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
Grey narrowed his eyes on him and wondered if he knew the strange man but his face was not at all familiar to him. His eyes went wide when Alfred went to his knees. "Greetings, Hercules. It's my pleasure to see you and even talk to you," he smiled and finally stood up. Grey was still skeptical, unable to believe a thing. It was a wonder that Alfred was referring to him as a master but he found it difficult to believe someone as rich as Alfred knew someone like him. Then, that brought him to the fact that something was really amiss somewhere. There was something about his past that seemed to be connected to something very much important. No one could explain to him how his life was before he was found by the sisters at the orphanage. And he didn’t remember anything as well. It still felt like there was a fog in his memory. "Where have you been?" Alfred was all smiles as he asked. “For ten years, we’ve been searching, finally I found the successor of Hercules! Who would have thoug
It was a 100million dollars cheque!Grey never saw such a big amount of money!"I think you should have this. Till you can return to your position as the Hercules, you might need it."Avery looked over at the direction from where Grey went with worries written all over her. She wondered what was happening inside and why Grey was taking a while before he came out.Seth laughed suddenly. "Seemed like the small boy was getting a taste of his medicine already."Smith joined in. " It's just a pity he wasn't even able to enjoy his wife before his death," Smith teased.Avery's heart skipped a beat at their words. Well, it was something Alfred could do. "Come on! Mr Alfred doesn't tolerate rags like him. He's not going to be left alive," Seth suddenly took a glass of juice. He sipped it and laughed again. " Somehow the weather is good.""Come on!" Smith feigned seriousness. "It's bad weather afterall. A dog would die!"They both burst into laughter while Avery felt her feet gone cold. Her bod
