Secretly The Billionaire Boss

It was actually James, one of the special members that was calling Grey.
Grey heard but he couldn't bear to turn back.He knew that doing that would mean staying but he didn't even have the luxury of
time to waste.
The only thing that went through his mind was what had really happened to Aphrodite.
How could she be found half- dead? What really happened? That wasn't even the most painful thing.
Grey couldn't think of the fact that he was at the party, enjoying himself while Aphrodite was almost dead.
The guilt that gave him almost ate him deep.
"Hercules!"
Another voice called suddenly, a feminine yet familiar one.It jerked Grey out of his thoughts and he realized that she had been
calling out to him.novelebook.comHe stopped suddenly as the figure raced towards him.
"Her_cules," Avery moved to his front, taking in several fast breaths to steady her breathing.
"Is there something you want?" He asked, in a deep voice that actually scared Avery.
That was the second time he would be doing it.
"A conversation."
"A conversation?" Grey repeated, with a slight line of disapproval on his lips.
Avery ignored this.
"I was going to talk to you about the kiss.I'm sorry I caught you off guard.I didn't mean for that to happen.I didn't mean for the
reporter to take the pictures."
"Seriously?"
Another line of disgust was suddenly forming on his lips.
"Are you really sorry? It looks as though you were pleased."

"What?" Avery was shocked.
"You kissed me against my consent because of your business, isn't that so? When the news displays your name alongside the
new king of the world, it would increase your chance of getting close to people of high position.Isn't that so?"
"No!" Avery said quickly.
"Besides, how do you know I have a business?"
Grey went still for a moment at the statement as a wry line formed on his lips at an acknowledgment of a tactical error.
Grey had forgotten.
Fuck! He had forgotten that he was still Hercules.
But he was slowly losing it.
Avery used to be someone that he respected and loved until he realised the stuff Avery was made of.He doesn't even want to
have anything to do with her.
The fact that he doesn't want anything bad to happen to her, doesn't say he still loved her.He just was a free spirit.
Avery shook her head briefly, as she tried to convince herself that it was still Grey that was standing in front of her.
Even though his voice seemed harsh, Avery still felt the same effect he had on her earlier.
There was no way feelings would lie.
"I just apologized.What else do you want me to do? Is the deed not done already?"
The statement annoyed Grey.
"Because you thought you could do as you like, and apologise to me.You believed it would all be done like that? Aren't you a bit
selfish? novelebook.comCan you undo the consequences of what you have done?" He said, half yelling.
His voice was still deep and evident that he was angry.
Avery didn't understand what was happening.She wondered if she was really so wrong.She didn't even think deeply before
kissing him.

Building emotions actually pushed her into it.
"Is this because of Aphrodite? Is that why you speak like this to someone you barely know? You don't know who I am.So, don't
judge me!"
She fired at him.
"It's not everyone that will be like you, Avery.It's not everyone that takes people for granted.I might not know you very much but
the little I have, tells me how selfish you are.You don't appreciate people but you go around doing what you want.You definitely
don't care! How can you be regretful of the way you feel about Grey and yet, you don't even act like it? You seriously need to go
down memory lane and find what is really wrong with you!"
He yelled and started towards his car.
Avery was too shocked to talk, or even move.
Tears streamed down her face in a cascading manner.
Grey, on the other hand, got inside his car angrily and drove off, following the address of the hospital where Aphrodite was.He
didn't know why he actually spoke that way to Avery.
Maybe it was all those pent-up feelings.He had always wanted to let Avery know what she truly was.
Though, he had always hoped that she would change.
But after what had happened that night, Grey realized that Avery was still the same person he married months ago.
Maybe she would never change.She told him that she felt sorry for what had happened to Grey but that doesn't even seem to be
the case.
Avery was only lying.But he has made a strong mistake.He spoke about Grey in a way that he wasn't supposed to.
Grey's heart felt heavy at this.He didn't know if he was supposed to go back and clear the mess.But that would also involve
apologising to Avery and he didn't want to do that.He still couldn't forget everything he went through at the hand of Avery and her
family even though all he wanted for Avery, was the best.
Avery couldn't stop the tears from falling.

In fact, several minutes after Grey had left, Avery still couldn't move.
Grey was so angry at her to the extent that he voiced out what he wasn't supposed to.
Yes, maybe he was still angry at the way that he treated him when they were still married.
Maybe she only apologised for everything she had done to him after she had.
For a moment, Avery thought about it.It looked like Grey was right.She did discover that Smith was the one that set Grey up.
Yet, she acted as if she wasn't concerned.
In fact, she didn't even see it fit to apologise to him.
Yet, it was very painful to hear Grey talk like that to her.
A hand held her from the back suddenly and before Avery could react, a white handkerchief was pressed to her nose and a
strange yet overwhelming scent drafted to her nostril.She struggled but it was useless.
As the tears dropped, Avery felt her consciousness being robbed of her.The last image on her mind was Grey.
