Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate novel Chapter 282

Chapter 282: Decisions

Caramel stared at him for a moment as if she was preparing the next thing to say. "Yes, I'm fucked up! I can't keep doing this"

Grey regarded her for another moment. "Why? Why do you want to break up with me? Is it because you are scared of Alex? Or is it that you can't bear staying with me because I’m Hercules?”

Caramel blinked once and looked away. She sucked in her breath." No," she dragged, "no,” she repeated as if she was indecisive about her decision. "I love you, Grey but I'm scared. Oh, what I ever wanted was not to get into all this shit. I don't want to get involved with anything Mafia. My mother was killed by one of them and...” her voice trailed off.

Grey didn’t say a word. He didn't want to interrupt her and make her forget what she was about to say.

Caramel let out a sigh. "All I ever wanted was to have a normal man as my boyfriend. I didn't want to get into the mess again because I'm scared of it. I don’t want someone from the mafia, I don't want that,” she sobbed silently. "I don't even want you to get involved with the mafia, how can you now say you are one of the popular Mafia lords?" She shook her head briefly. "I don't! I don't want to be in the centre of it all. I don't even know why my mother died. I'm scared to shit!"

Grey regarded her for a moment. "That's why you are running?"

Caramel shook her head briefly. "I'm not running, Grey.”

"It is, Caramel, it’s running. If it's not running, what is it? Do you want to leave everything behind because of your mother? I mean just because your mother was killed by the mafia doesn't mean you will be killed by one.”

"Well, not now. But soon. My mother was already married before she died. It could happen at any time. Enemies keep coming in and it never stops."

"I'm going to protect you, Caramel. I will,” Grey swore.

"No, you can't do this. Anything can happen along the way. My life is not guaranteed and it scares the life out of me,” she confessed.

Grey sighed. "What are you going to do?”

Caramel turned to look at the water. The air was getting harder, the breeze made her feel cold and she shivered at it.

Grey pulled off his suit and covered Caramel’s body with it.

Caramel took it with a smile of gratitude but she didn’t say a word.

Grey stared out at the water as well. He had always loved the view of water since he was young. His father mostly take him on tours on the water whenever he was back from school.

"I'm leaving, Grey. I will leave Jacksonville," she revealed suddenly.

Grey turned towards her quickly. It was as if he heard it wrong the first time. "What did you say?"

"I’m leaving."

Grey doesn’t understand it. Avery left him because he was nobody. Caramel was going to leave him because he was someone? Because he was Hercules? Did she want a nobody? It doesn’t even make any sense. But he wouldn't talk about it if she didn't want to.
