Chapter 295: War
Aphrodite decided to check Grey's father's tombstone while Jayden went toward Victoria's.
Aphrodite kept trying Grey's line on the way but it was never available. It was as if he switched it off intentionally because he didn't want anyone to disturb him.
Aphrodite was really worried and she was starting to feel uneasy. Yes, the truth was too much to bear. Nothing was worse than having someone you trust betray you. That aside, Grey would be worried about Charles.
If Charles had died, he would have blamed himself forever. But how could they even control the situation? They succeeded in preventing Grey from shooting Leo but that was only the beginning. What would happen in a long way?
That aside, what should they do with the fact that Giovanni now knows the secret they've kept for so long?
Aphrodite's head hurt so much because of the whole thing but she knew she had to find Grey. Then, the rest would follow.
She arrived at the location and hesitated before she got down. She barely took several steps along the cemetery before she observed a man at the exact location where the previous Hercules was buried.
She moved nearer slowly and discovered it truly was Grey.
She placed a call to Jayden and he picked it up immediately.
"Have you seen Grey because I can't find him here," Jayden announced.
"I have. He's here, in front of his father's tombstone. I will stay watch over him but I think you should get here. You should tell the elders too. I don't know how long Grey is going to stay here or how long he has been here.
One thing I'm sure of is that he's still in the same clothes. So, we will have to think of a way to take him out of here," she suggested.
"Alright. Stay there and don’t let him off your sight."
"I will do that," Aphrodite said and the line went off.
She stared up at Grey again. It was getting very late in the night already and there was barely anyone around except for the caretaker.
Giovanni walked inside the library with Alex. It was where he kept the file on Grey.
"Are we supposed to wait?" Alex questioned.
Giovanni let out a sigh. "I can't wait anymore. If Leo doesn't try to meet up or respond to me, it could only mean one thing," he hesitated and looked at Alex. "He doesn't work for me anymore."
"Fuck!" Alex cursed under his breath. "I thought we could trust him. I mean you said he had betrayed Hercules once and could do it again," he raised a skeptical brow and waited.
"Well, something must have happened. I will find out but we don't have the time. Grey has declared war, we must do the same," he explained.
Alex nodded once. "So, what is the plan?"
Giovanni didn't answer. Instead, he stood and moved to his desk. He retrieved a key from behind one of the books in the library and inserted it into its hole. His eyes went wide with shock as he stared at nothingness.
Alex observed the change in his attitude. "Dad, is something wrong?"
Giovanni didn't answer for a moment as his mind filled with the thought of how the DNA result wasn't in the safety of the desk. He remembered placing it there the night before. Alex had called him suddenly but he still had the time to do the necessary before he left home.
