Chapter 399: Unsure

He stopped in front of him, a few feets to hitting him.

“What did you just say?” His voice was deep and laced with anger.

Emily walked inside when she saw how bad things were getting.She could get killed in the midst of it.

“When you showed up suddenly, I initially thought you couldn’t handle the mafia work but you proved to

me that you could. And now? What are you trying to say? That you are tired of being a mafia boss?”

Gregory released with a grunt.

Grey’s fists were clenched beside him and a dark frown was on his face.

“What do you think I should do then? I should watch my men die without a feeling? I’m not supposed to

be in pain?” Alfred stepped forward.

“Gregory!” He called in a strained voice.

“Don’t speak to Hercules in such a manner.” Gregory looked at Alfred.

“How else am I supposed to talk to him? We are his elders and he should listen to us as well. Does he

want to end up like his father? Does he?”

“Gregory,” Aphrodite called softly.

“Alfred just lost someone, you should give him breathing space. It’s not easy. He has been losing a lot

of people already.”

Gregory released a sigh and dragged it.

“I know but_,” he hesitated.

“I don’t want anything to happen to him! Damn it! We will be doomed if that happens!” Grey regarded

him for a moment.

“You are dismissed from appearing in my sight till I say so.Not today anyways because I’m not in the

mood for it!” Gregory looked at him for a moment before he walked out of the room.

Alfred raced after him.

“Hey, Gregory! ” He stopped him before he would enter his car.

“What you did back there”

“Well, someone had to do something,” Gregory said quickly, cutting Alfred off.

“If he’s there wallowing in pity and sadness over his driver, what about others? What about us? He

needs to get up and start planning as he did with Alex. We need to get Giovanni out of the picture

before he kills him. Giovanni isn’t easy meat and he’s planning as we are sympathising.”

Alfred released a sigh.

Actually, Gregory was right.

Giovanni wasn’t easy meat.He killed Grey’s father and mother.And he had killed a lot more.

If he was able to use Charles’ father and kill Grey’s father, what more could he do with Grey who wasn’t

as experienced as his father? He could die as well.

“You are right but you shouldn’t have gone that way.Now, he’s angry.”

“Well, I don’t care,” Gregory muttered.

“Someone has to do it and it’s no problem that it’s me. But I’m ready to take the punishment as long as

he’s alive to continue to run the mafia world.” Alfred sighed again.

“I will speak to him.But he’s brilliant.I’m sure he would come up with a plan soon.” Gregory nodded

once.

“I know.I just don’t want him to back out.Any little mistake and he would be dead.”

“You shouldn’t worry about that actually.

Now that Giovanni thinks Hercules is dead, let’s give Grey the time he needs to think of whatever he

wants.I’m sure he will get to us when he’s a lot calmer but you will need to apologise.”

Gregory released a sigh between the nods.

“I know, I will come back whenever he wants me to and I will also wait for the punishment. I

overstepped my boundary and I know that. But till then, I will have to get some of my men to watch this

whole place.”

Alfred smiled.

“Do that.”

Gregory nodded again and entered his car.

Alfred watched him drive out before he walked back inside the house.

“I’m sorry about Gregory, Grey. He’s only worried about you. Gregory gets like that whenever he’s

worried.”

Grey hesitated before he released a sigh.

“I know. He’s right anyways but I just couldn’t stop feeling this way. Jimmy has a family but now that

he’s dead, what does that make them? And considering the fact that he died because of me. I_”

“No, he didn’t,” Aphrodite stepped closer.

“He didn’t die because of you.”

“Of course he did,” Grey turned to look at her.

“You don’t understand. Jimmy wouldn’t have died if I had allowed him to come with him.”

“But he might have died any other day. If he’s destined to die, then there’s nothing you can do about it.

Blaming yourself won’t help you.”

Grey hit his palm over his face in despair.He felt the tears sting his eyes but he couldn’t cry.He really

couldn’t stop blaming himself for the death of Jimmy.He didn’t even know what he was supposed to do

at that moment.

Aphrodite moved closer and hugged him tightly.

“Don’t do this, Grey.We need you more than this and if we don’t move faster, more people you love

might die.Charles might, I might and even Caramel might.”

Aphrodite was right and even if he wouldn’t have anything to do with Caramel ever again, he still didn’t

want her to die.He wanted to show her that he was capable of protecting her.He would protect

Aphrodite too.

Alfred stepped inside behind them and hesitated, as he stared at them.

It was the second time he was meeting them in that kind of compromising position.

Grey pulled back, noticing that they weren’t alone.He looked at Alfred but didn’t say a word.

“I will leave you for today.Maybe we can talk soon but I wouldn’t want you to leave the house until

you’ve decided.I mean since Giovanni thinks you are currently dead, we shouldn’t make him believe

otherwise unless there’s a plan in process,” he explained.

Grey nodded once.

“I will call you when I think of something.” Alfred nodded once.

“What should we do with Jimmy’s corpse? It hasn’t been identified.”

Grey thought about it for a moment.

“Give me time to think about it but I need to meet with Jimmy’s family.”

“I will arrange that but you will need to think about Jimmy’s corpse by morning or we won’t be able to

take over it again.
