Chapter 372: Clashes
Pain stabbed Grey, even harder. He couldn't believe his ears or maybe they were just playing tricks on him. It wasn't true. There was no way Caramel would abort their baby. They had a life together, didn't they?
And everything was going well, even before she discovered who he really was.
"Calm down, dear. You are just frustrated because of Beatrice. Beatrice would be fine, this I promise you. You don't need to get so worked up over it."
Caramel blinked once and let the tears stream down her face. "I love you, Grey. I love you so much," she stressed as if she was battling with her inner voice.
Grey nodded once. "I love you too, Caramel. And we can work this out."
Caramel looked away for a moment as different thoughts collided in her mind in some sort of crazy confusion. "It can't work out, Grey. It can never work out. I've thought about the possibility before I aborted your baby.
There's no going back now.”
It was when Grey snapped back to reality. "You aborted my baby? How could you do that, Caramel? How could you even take a life!" He yelled at her.
He had always thought Caramel was the best and the softest of them all. He had planned out his life with her but it hurt him so much to discover she wasn't interested in him like he was interested in her.
"It was what I had to do!" She yelled back. "Did you think I really want to abort it?"
"But you did? Why did you?"
"I had no choice!" She let out in one breath and hesitated. "As I said, there's no place for me beside you! They're not! How could I have fallen in love with a mafia lord?" She shook her head briefly and turned away. "This was clearly not what I signed up for."
Grey got taken aback by her choice of words. "That's the issue, right?" Caramel ignored him. "You didn't want me to be the mafia lord? That's what all this is all about?"
Caramel sighed. "I love the man I fell in love with, Grey. I love Grey and not Hercules," she stressed.
Grey went quiet for a moment that seemed like an eternity as he took in Caramel's word. He hasn’t been able to link everything together but at that moment, it was happening so fast.
They started having issues after she discovered that he was Hercules.
"So, you loved me when I had nothing but you started hating me when you discovered I had something? Ironical!" Hercules scoffed even though he was having a heavy heart.
"No," Caramel looked at him. "I fell in love with you because I saw you were an ordinary man. But how could you be a mafia lord? Not just one but Hercules?" She still could remember how she found out or the hints that Grey had been giving her before she did. Actually, she would have loved to be in the darkness, even though she desperately wanted the truth.
