Chapter 364: Caught
’Richard kidnapped us on our way out of Seattle," Caramel started. She felt really good after she heard that Grey was actually doing fine.
She would not have been able to forgive herself if something bad happens to Grey.
"Why were you trying to leave Seattle?" Alfred demanded.
Caramel regarded him for a moment. "I don't know. My memory isn't clear enough. I will let you know whenever I remember," she assured.
Alfred nodded once. "Continue," he ordered.
"He asked us several questions which I refused to answer. My mother was taken away from me and I was beaten through the night," she looked away as if trying to remember everything very well. ’When I woke up the next morning, my mother's corpse was lying beside me. Her face was battered and there was blood everywhere,’ she almost choked on her words.
Tears stung her eyes but she didn't want to cry, not yet.
"I cried severally only to discover I don't even remember anything, not even my name. When Richard came in and discovered. He probably decided to use it against me. So, he told me some lies about Grey."
"What were the questions he asked you? Can you remember one or two of them?’
"He asked me if Grey was Hercules but I refused to reply,’ Caramel responded as she flashed back to that exact moment when she felt like talking but she knew how much that would cost Grey. Grey was going to die but she loved him too much to let him die. Eventhough_ there was something that was making her hesitate. But the more she tried to think about it, the more headache she got.
Alfred nodded briefly. "Thank you for not talking."
Caramel looked at him and nodded once. "They demanded his contact but I didn't give it out. They searched through my phone but it was already deleted. There was no email or anything that could lead to him," she looked away. "I made sure of that."
Alfred squeezed his face in concentration but he didn't want to go into what wasn't his concern. So, he decided to let it go.
"Please, proceed."
Caramel reasoned for another moment. "He told me that it was Grey that killed my mother. He told me that they just rescued me from the men he sent to kill us. So, they were going to help me take revenge on him," he revealed.
"Does Richard have someone he works for or does he work independently?’
Caramel squeezed her face as she tried to remember something. "I heard him call someone boss, just once.’
"You scared me, Grey. Why didn't you tell me this was all planned?" Aphrodite mumbled in anger.
Grey smiled softly. "I was going to discuss it with you guys after the party. I wasn't even expecting it to happen at the party.”
Gregory stretched a cup of coffee to him. ’Well, that was brilliant but how did you even think of something like that?"
Grey smiled softly, took the cup, and sipped the coffee. ’ After I dropped the call, Alfred told me it was kind of weird that she would tell the men to call me and tell me she has regained her lost memory, exactly the moment when I had a party to attend. So, Alfred called his doctor."
"That's actually great. I didn't know you guys could plan it out so quickly." Gregory muttered in surprise.
