Chapter 373: Duty or Love?
Grey entered the car and hesitated. He stared into space. Maybe Caramel was right. At least, he got her into trouble the other time and it was because of him that Seth decided to use her to get him.
If he wasn't so close to her, that wouldn't have happened. It was partially his fault.
But what was he supposed to do? Being Hercules was his birthright and the only thing his father left behind. There was no fucking way he would even think of comparing both. He would never compare being Hercules with his love life.
But he doesn’t know why it was affecting each other.
His phone rang suddenly, jerking him out of his thoughts. It was Alfred.
Grey released a sigh and picked it up. "Hello, Alfred.”
"Hi Hercules, have you been able to get across to Aphrodite?"
Grey let out another sigh. "No, I haven’t even had the time to. Have you? She should be at home now. Have you called one of her maids?"
"Yes but she's not at home. I've called her several times but she's not picking up as well. I just hope nothing bad has happened to her."
"Where can she be then?" Grey reasoned aloud.
"I've just sent my men to check the bars and clubs around. So, I don't know where she is but I'm sure I will get information soon," he assured.
"Alright, you can share with me the message when you do. I can go over to get her."
There was hesitation. "Are you sure you aren't busy? I mean I can get her guardians to get her so you wouldn't have to worry yourself. You must be busy with Caramel."
"It's ok, Alfred. I'm currently free to do anything."
"Oh, alright. Wait, please give me a few minutes. One of them just called me. Let me attend to him."
Grey let out a sigh. "Alright."
"Yes, you sure? Alright, then. You guys can come home then," Alfred hesitated. He was on a call with one of his men." She has been found?” He released a sigh. "She's at Megaphone Attitude. She only refused to go home. I think everything is alright. I just wonder why she isn't with any of her entourages."
"Alright, I will just check her and see that everything is fine."
"Alright, that's cool then. Till tomorrow." He finished and the phone went off.
Grey glanced back for a moment as if he would see Caramel. What she had said to him still hurt him so greatly. He would rather go out than stay home at that moment. He wasn't even feeling it.
He drove right to Megaphone Attitude.
It was very late in the night when Grey pulled up in the parking lot of Megaphone Attitude.
Grey got inside the club and his gaze searched around for Aphrodite. He found her just as she stood and started moving to the music.
She looked so happy that Grey had to follow her steps. As it turned out, she was fine but Grey wasn't in the mood to return home. So, he moved closer to her.
Aphrodite looked at her. "Grey?" She smiled. "How are you doing?"
