"You don't threaten Aurora," her voice raised a bit above usual and her expression changed as well.Grey moved his right hand from her waist to her back and pulled her even closer with so much strength that Aurora complied forcefully."I bet you don't want to know what I can do with this small knife. You will never be able to be a pole dancer again," he threatened and pressed the knife further so that they delved a bit into the flesh.Aurora let out a deep cry. "Fine!" She said finally and stretched out to the shirt. "I was only doing you a favour anyways. You will die now," she muttered angrily.Grey released her and she jerked backward and undid two buttons. Grey slowly put the knife back inside his pocket before he smiled and took her hand to stop her from going further.Aurora gave him a skeptical look.Grey smiled and nodded briefly. "Get off!" He stressed and pushed her away to look at the men that have turned them into a movie."I don't think he's affected," someone muttered."

"What would have happened If we hadn't arrived in time?" Aphrodite released a wave of anger."Calm down, Aphrodite. I'm here now, aren't I? And that's all that matters." Grey said, with a little smile.Aphrodite released a sigh. "I'm still annoyed about it. You will have to do more than beg me. You are buying me dinner tomorrow.""Is that all you want?"Aphrodite nodded once. "That's all."Grey chuckled. "Consider it done. Actually, I heard there's a nice place here. I would love to go there with you after it's all settled between me and Maximo."Aphrodite nodded again and glanced at Aurora. "What are you going to do with her?""Nothing, Novia. I'm not going to kill her. She has nothing to do with whatever I'm planning with Maximo."Aphrodite groaned inwardly. "Alright. But do you think that Maximo will show up? Aurora is just a mistress to him. He could change one whenever he wish. I don't think he would be pushed to come and face you.""There's only one way to find out, Aphrodite. L

Grey stepped closer, noting the huge mark that lay across Maximo's cheek. His face was hard as if he had never smiled."And good of you to show your face here, alone," Maximo took a step closer to him. "How could you come over here and try to claim a place that isn't yours to start with? This is my place, I own this place."Grey shook his head briefly. "Where's Mattee? What happened to the shares I have in the Italian company? How could these happen and you still think I can meddle?""Don't ask me questions about my brother. You have no right to get involved between I and my brother. It's family issue." He fired back.Grey regarded him for a moment. So, Aurora was right and they were really brothers."Where's he, Maximo?" Grey asked in a deep voice, ignoring his remark."Fuck;" Maximo spat out. "Fine! You want to meddle? Then you can as well face the consequences!"Grey laughed. "Seriously, Maximo. Just because your brother isn't as strong as you are doesn't mean you should let him si

Grey was shocked for a moment. "Seriously?"Maximo smiled softly and slipped the wine. "I looked for you actually. I have always wanted to repay you for what you did for me that day but now that I'm seeing you, I selfishly want something more. I mean I wouldn't be here without your help."Grey smiled. "Actually, I'm staying in Italy for a while. So, we can make that work out. I also need to know about my father's shares.""Sure," Maximo was happy. "You can come over to the company tomorrow. We will discuss it more. But why did you decide to stay here. Is everything alright at Jacksonville?"Grey nodded once. "Its just a long story. I will explain it to you later but, I have a last request," he regarded him for a moment. "I'm undercover here. So, no one must know that Hercules is in Italy or that Grey is Hercules. I haven't revealed what I look like to the public.""That's simple. I can do that," Maximo assured. "I will make sure I handle it on my men's side. You don't have to worry ab

Two men moved closer to the receptionist as she rolled on the floor with tears in her eyes.Another woman who was the one that spoke to Enzo moved closer to Grey, with a stern face. "Have you seen what you've caused!" She pointed an accusing finger at him, with disappointment written all over her face. "Bow to the lord and apologize for looking down on him."The receptionist nodded quickly, as tears slipped out of her eyes. "Bow to him! It was all your fault anyways. I must not lose my job!" She muttered.Grey couldn't believe his eyes, and couldn't believe his ears either. He didn't believe that he came to Italy to go through insults again when he was trying to keep it as low as possible.It wasn't their fault anyways. If only he remembered to collect Maximo's number, then he wouldn't have to go through the embarrassment.But it doesn't matter what they do, Grey was determined to be unbending."Did you hear me!" The woman's voice rang through his thoughts and brought him out of them
