Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate novel Chapter 293

Chapter 293: Final whistle

Grey jumped on Charles very fast at the same time that he pulled the trigger. His thought was to take the gun from him before he would pull the trigger but it was too late.

When Grey looked down, he saw blood and his eyes went wide with shock.

He felt a sharp pain coursing through his body. "No, Charles! Why did you do this?" He yelled and adjusted so that Charles' head would be on his lap.

Blood was gushing out of Charles's chest and his face had suddenly turned pale.

"Ambulance!" One of the elders yelled.

'Tm sorry, Grey," Charles muttered. Tears were slipping out of his eyes.

Grey held him closer to himself like a baby and images from their childhood flooded in. They were close, very close then but suddenly, they've drifted apart. But deep down, Grey loved Charles like a brother would do.

"Fuck you, Charles!" Grey yelled at him. "You shouldn't have done this!"

Charles shook his head briefly. "I just avenged you," he swallowed harder and winced in pain. "I'm just sorry it’s not enough to bring back everything you have lost! I know you hate my father so much and you will so much wish for his death but-," he hesitated and his facial expression changed as pain stabbed into him. "Please, forgive him. He did it for me."

"Fuck!" Grey cursed angrily. "I wasn't going to shoot him! Why did you have to shoot yourself?"

Charles smiled slightly. "I know. I know you were pulling back because of me. That’s why I decided to sacrifice myself, even though-," he groaned out loud. "Even though," he hesitated and the tears slipped out of his eyes. "I

don't want to die. I promised to serve you till your death. I," he almost choked on tears. "I really don't want to die. But I don't regret my actions. I’m just going to miss you,” he tried to smile again but it failed this time.

Grey felt the tears slip out of his eyes as he touched Charles's face." Brother," his voice vibrated with the word.

Charles smiled slightly and suddenly went still.

"Charles!" Leo yelled and broke down in tears. "Why did you have to shoot yourself? Get up and shoot me!" He yelled with sadness and regret.

Some men rushed inside and pulled Charles apart from Grey. They rushed him into the ambulance.

Grey regarded them for a moment, as he felt the gun in his pocket. He had kept it earlier when the nurses rushed inside. Aphrodite went with the ambulance while the rest stood behind.

While the elders were watching the car, Grey left.

Alfred released an exasperated sigh. "What are we going to do now?"

Gregory shivered slightly. "This is just too much. If we continued to do this, Giovanni might actually win."

"Yea, especially with the fact that Giovanni now knows who Grey is. We need to dispatch the men," Luciano suggested.

"Yes, I support the motion but let's talk to Hercules about it," Jayden was saying as he turned towards where Grey initially was. "Where's Hercules?"

They all turned towards the location and realised that Grey was gone.

Grey's head was reeling as he ran through the street. He intentionally didn't take the car because he didn’t want the elders to stop him. He was determined.

'Tm at Hattie's place and you won’t believe what I just saw. You need to come here immediately."

"Alright, I will be there soon," he hung up, dropped the result, and hurried out of the house.

He soon arrived at Hattie's house. There were a lot of his men around and in fact, he still came with more to keep himself protected.

Alex walked out to him. "Dad, come," he invited and led him inside the house. They walked inside the living room and into the kitchen.

Giovanni hesitated as he stared at Hattie in blood. "What the fuck happened here?"

Alex sighed. "I found her like this, with a bullet to her heart. But I found something else."

Giovanni was still looking at Hattie's corpse when Alex manoeuvred around the counter and withdrew something he could see at first until he got closer.

He regarded it for a moment. It was a toy car with blood all over it. There was a big alphabet 'H' on it. Alex took it and dropped the toy car on the floor. He stretched it out to Giovanni.

"Here."

Giovanni took it and studied it for a moment before realisation dawned on him. "H is for Hercules," he muttered and opened the cardboard.

He read;

"Let's play a game, Giovanni. I love chess.'
