Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate novel Chapter 289

Chapter 289: The truth is confusing

Leo was all bloody and he could barely feel his body. The torture was too much and Leo didn't think he could handle it anymore.

"Please stop!" He screamed suddenly. Tm ready to talk. Please, call Giovanni."

The man regarded Leo for a moment before he slowly dropped the metal in his hand. "Don't play me. If I call him and you don't talk, it would mean death for you."

Leo nodded quickly. "You bastard! I'm serious!"

The man sent him a glare before he turned away and walked out of the room.

Leo had to think of something. He had to think of the best way to escape. If he could reach forward and grab one of the hot metals, he could use it to free himself before the man that went out would return with Giovanni.

Alfred looked at Gregory. "The men are rounding the area while we will try to check the alley. Let’s be sure he's not around here before we enter the building," he suggested.

Gregory nodded briefly. "That's ok actually. Let’s go,” he cocked his gun and got out of the car. Alfred followed behind quickly with five more men.

They walked in a straight line toward a particular location. It was dark but there was light coming from the moon.

Gregory stopped suddenly and signalled to others to do the same. "I hear some muffled sounds coming from that side,” he pointed in the opposite direction.

Alfred nodded briefly. They moved closer to where the Sound was coming from slowly.

And they sawthem-

Actually, two men held Leo so tight in their midst while the third one had a gun held to his forehead.

"Fuck! We need to be careful!" Alfred muttered.

"On it," Gregory smiled and aimed at the man holding the gun.

A shot and the man went flat on the floor. The rest of the men shot at the other two men.

Leo yelled in fear.

Alfred stepped out. "Man, it's us," he announced.

Leo looked at him and his eyes adjusted on him. "Why are you here?"

"To get you out of course," he looked at the men. "Unloose him and get him to the car."

The men complied and Alfred moved to Gregory.

"Get out of here. We are done.” Alfred announced and they both walked to the car.

"But what really happened to you there? You are soaked!" Gregory demanded but no answer came. He glanced back and saw that Leo had fainted. "We need to get Leo to the hospital. He just fainted!" He informed Alfred.

Alfred pulled to a sudden stop. "Take on the wheel, I will call my doctor," he stepped out of the car while Gregory also did the same.

Giovanni nodded briefly as he stood up. "You won't believe who it turned out to be. I'm still finding it difficult to access the whole thing. How can it be? He was right under my nose, and has always been! But I didn't know."

"But dad, who is he exactly?" He asked anxiously. He didn't like the suspense that Gio was giving him. He was getting really curious.

Giovanni let out a sigh. " Grey is the Hercules!" He announced.

Shock kept Alex motionless and speechless for a moment. Then, he burst into laughter. "Stop playing dad, that's not even possible. How would Grey be Hercules?" He hissed. "I told you that Leo isn't someone we can trust. He's part of Hercules' elders. He would always try to hide him."

Giovanni looked at him, "what if it's true?"

Alex shook his head briefly. "It’s not possible! I did a DNA test and it didn't match at all. This could be a ploy! These men are really using Grey! I'm sure it's only that and nothing else is involved."

"I tortured Leo so hard, he wouldn't have lied to me. He wouldn't do it when he knew I wouldn't spare him."

Alex cursed under his breath. "I don't believe you trust Leo. Leo betrayed Hercules once, he's not worthy to be trusted."

"Well, he betrayed them once and can do it again!"

Giovanni turned away for a moment, as he thought about it. Alex was telling the truth. He had the DNA and confirmed that it wasn't Hercules but why did Leo insist on it? There was something wrong somewhere and Giovanni planned to find out.

He turned to look at Alex. 'Tm going to believe Leo partially. Leo is currently pretending. He doesn't have memory loss but he’s lying. That means he's still fooling the elders and Hercules himself. If he insists on this, then I have to act on it."

Alex bowed his head in deep thought. "But why doesn't the DNA match?" 'That's something you should find out. We are having another test on Grey," he looked away. "Something feels so strange on Grey and I’m going to find out.”
