Chapter 34: Purpose

Grey entered the car but he didn‘t miss the shocking look on Cindy’s face.

“Can I play music, Mr. Grey?” The driver inquired.

Grey nodded. “Sure. But where are we going?”

“Aphrodite Villa.”

Grey found himself staring hard at the big building in front of him. The house was nothing like Robinson‘s house. Aphrodite was strikingly rich. But with what Alfred and Gregory had said, Hercules‘s net worth was like multiplication of what he had been seeing recently

Grey couldn‘t really wait to find out how rich he really was. He couldn‘t wait for Charles to be back.

“Can we go, Mr. Grey?” The driver asked politely. He seemed to respect Grey so much and Grey wondered why.

Grey followed him inside the spacious living room that looked like heaven on Earth.

Three ladies walked out from the inner room. They walked over to Grey and stopped to give him a short bow. The driver turned around now, leaving Grey to the mercy of the ladies.

They walked him towards another door by their left. Grey entered the room. He stopped by the door and looked up at Aphrodite.

Aphrodite sat on the cushion with a wine cup in her hand. There was a bright smile on her face as her gaze met with Grey.

“Are you kidding me, Grey?” There was sarcasm in her voice. She stood and grabbed another cup filled with wine. She moved closer to Grey. “You married Avery of all people?” She extended the cup which Grey accepted.

“Why do you think so?”

Aphrodite regarded him for a moment.” She doesn‘t fit your status as the Hercules,” she smiled and walked back to the chair, swinging her ass so delicately that Grey found himself smiling. Aphrodite was so beautiful, there was no doubt about that.

“Who I chose to marry doesn‘t concern you, Novia. It‘s not something you should meddle with,” Grey scolded her and took a sip of the wine.

Aphrodite sat. “You are keeping it from me, Grey. You are nothing but a useless son–in–law to Robinson.”

Grey‘s hand around the glass cling.” How did you know that?” 1

Aphrodite smiled. “I can get information as fast as I want whenever I snap my fingers,” she laughed.” Shocked?”

Grey smiled. ” Impressive.” he walked closer to Aphrodite and took his seat. ” I didn‘t expect you to be this stronger.”

Aphrodite nodded severally.” My mother told me about the Eminent Mafia group after you went missing and your father was confirmed dead. She was so scared I might die as well.”

A blade in Grey‘s chest twisted. It seemed like Aphrodite didn‘t even know who the culprit was.

“So, tell me, Grey. Why are you with Avery? Do you love her?”

Grey carefully placed the cup on the table.” We shouldn‘t meet after today. It‘s going to jeopardize

everything. I‘m waiting for Charles to come back. Though, I‘m not in a hurry. And yes, being Robinson‘s in law is the best for me. I seriously need it. No one is supposed to know who I am, not now,” he explained. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Aphrodite met his gaze for silent minutes of communication. “Now that wasn’t the main question. Do you love Avery?”

Grey went silent for a moment. Even though he knew what the answer was, he was still hesitant to talk, He was married to Avery after all. He was supposed to protect her as one.

“No, I don‘t love her,” he said anyway. “We should meet in clubs but not at your house. I heard there is currently a spy in the group.”

Aphrodite nodded. ” Not in my lane! I don‘t tolerate spies! I will kill them immediately,” she muttered thickly.

Grey smiled.” That‘s good to hear.”

“As I‘ve heard, Charles is returning in months. Will you sincerely wait for him?”

Grey nodded slightly. “I will. That‘s why I still need to be an in–law to Robinson,” he picked the cup again after Aphrodite had filled it up.

Aphrodite cleared her throat.” You are going to wait so long to come back?”

Grey sat up and stared at Aphrodite from the rim of the glass. ” I‘m not doing this for myself, I‘m doing it for my men. I have the responsibility to protect them. It doesn‘t matter if Charles comes back today, I‘m still going to be under cover until the spy has been found. I will not die like my father,” he muttered.

He couldn‘t tell Aphrodite who had killed his father. He doesn‘t want to tell anyone anyways. He needed to know more before he does.

Aphrodite nodded. “You should never love Avery, just remember that. And when the time comes, you guys are getting divorced for real. Well, she doesn‘t even like you to begin with,” she opined with seriousness.

Grey didn‘t know if she was just worried about him or if there was more that he doesn‘t know.

He nodded anyway. “You should be careful, danger looms everywhere,” he advised.

Aphrodite nodded briefly.” Let‘s meet again. A cinema is much ok, right?”

Grey met her gaze for some minutes.” When?”

“I will text you,” she smiled as she noted the deep lines of worry on his face. “Don‘t worry, it wouldn‘t contrast with your silly time with Avery. Though, I‘m sure that even Avery wouldn‘t mind.”

Grey smiled. ” You are funny, Novia.”

“But I need your help currently,” he drew in breath as he thought about it. It was his mess anyways and he was supposed to be the one to clear it up.

“Shoot,” she permitted him

“I attacked one of Giovanni‘s men, and now they are after me and Avery. I wouldn‘t want them to hurt her.”

Aphrodite regarded him for a moment. ” I will do that for you.”

Grey smiled. “Thank you!” And he stood up.” I need to leave now. It‘s such a long ride from J.K company.”

Aphrodite groaned or maybe it was just Grey‘s ears playing tricks on him. As much as he wanted to ignore it, there was something about Aphrodite that was disturbing. Though, she didn‘t bother to hide her hatred for Avery.

Was there something he doesn‘t know?
