Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate novel Chapter 4

Chapter 4: He’s a master?

He staggered back to get his trouser from the bed. He was still feeling dizzy when he managed to slip his trouser on. The man sensing his actions guarded him to the car. Grey only had to tell the driver his address and didn’t even know when they got home. When he stepped out, he stopped suddenly as he felt peace overtaking him. Suddenly, he wasn’t feeling pain as he initially was. It felt like he was healing up. The pain coming from his nose was also gone. No, that wasn’t it. It was his determination that was making his blood boil. What if there was something about himself that he doesn’t know? He couldn’t just drop from the sky, something must be connected to him. It was at that moment that he was determined to get back his memory at all cost. Perhaps, there was more to him that he didn’t know. . The drive to the party was longer than Grey had expected. Dressed in a black suit that he had struggled to buy after his third salary, and a black shoe, Grey complimented it with his goodlook. Avery didn’t talk to him when he got to her house. And the view that greeted him told him the reason why she was so upset. Grey was a pauper and nobody but Avery was a billionaire. For Grey, he never wanted any of it as well and didn’t even remember the previous chapter of his life. It felt like life was playing tricks on him. He had to visit the hospital last in the night and the doctor confirmed that he broke some ribs but he would be fine. Grey played with the big ring on his finger. Actually, the ring was the only living thing he found on himself after he woke up in the orphanage years back. Though he didn’t remember anything about it, the ring gave him a sense of belonging. So, he loved wearing it even though it was old-fashioned already. “Can you please remove the ring? It’s old-fashioned and annoying,” Avery said softly. Grey looked at her for a moment. ” I’m sorry but I can’t. The ring is all that I am.” Avery scoffed just as the car pulled to a sudden stop. It seemed like they’d arrived at the party hall already. Diamond hall was the venue for the party and it was one of the top-notch in the state. Billionaires love to party in it because of its designs and high-quality taste. Actually, Grey had never imagined he could be entering such a building so soon in his life. When they walked inside, the first person Grey saw was Seth. He was walking towards them with a lady whose hand was locked in his. Apparently, it seemed like Seth saw them first. “What the fuck are you doing here?” Seth sounded surprised. Avery sighed. ” He’s my husband.” “Husband?” Seth was suddenly afraid, because he knew he’s nothing compared to Lucy Family, but since Grey had a wife from Lucy family, why he wanted to be with Nora? “Oh, see a dear cousin and her homeless husband,” Smith said suddenly, coming to join the others. Seth was confused, but soon Smith explained, “He is just a son-in-law in Lucy family, the lowest person in our home, lower than servants!” “I have a home!” Grey said at once, already boiling with anger. Hearing Smith’s words, Seth Suddenly burst into laughter. ” Then, I’m going to put your good-for-nothing husband into jail. He should learn to be one.”  Avery stepped forward. ” You will not speak to him that way. He’s here as an invitee and as important as you are.” Seth laughed the more. ” You should be ashamed of marrying him. He’s nothing but a loser and well, he’s not as important as I am because he has nothing! Absolutely nothing!” He muttered with a smug face. “Seth, what the fuck is happening here?” A rich baritone voice boomed again, and everyone turned to look at him. He was dressed in a BRIONI VANQUISH II SUIT that cost $43,000. Apparently, he was very wealthy. “Don’t mind him, Mr. Alfred,” Seth said quickly. “This guy is a criminal and a loser. He should be kicked out of the party,” he opined. Avery sighed and looked away with embarrassment while Smith gave Seth a pleasing smile. Alfred nodded at him and looked over at Grey, at his old suit. “I don’t remember I invited you. Who’re you?” Avery explained, “Sir, he’s my…husband, he didn’t mean to mess your party, I’ll let him leave right now.” Alfred looked at Avery, “Little princess of Lucy family? Ok, just let him leave, I won’t give him an extra punishment.” “Ok, I’ll leave.” Grey reluctantly raised his hand. At this moment, Alfred suddenly noticed the ring on Grey’s finger. Shock flickered across his face as he noted the inscription on the ring, though he couldn’t really see it clearly. “What are you waiting for! Get the good-for-nothing guy out of the hall at once!” Seth yelled when Alfred’s guardians stood back. Alfred raised a hand to stop them and looked up at Grey. “May I see you for a moment?” Grey stopped. , “Are you talking to me?”  “Yes young man, don’t leave, come with me.” Alfred said, he shaked his hand, his guardians then surrounded Grey. Avery was scared, Alfred is the most powerful and rich man in the city, even Lucy family can’t disobey his order, not to mention to rescue a son-in-law from him. Although Avery hated Grey, she didn’t want him to be killed. “Don’t worry girl, I won’t hurt him.” Alfred saw the worry on Avery’s face, he comforted her, which he seldom does. Grey’s feet felt heavy as he followed and well, couldn’t stop feeling out of place. He entered a room and the door closed behind him. He looked behind him, while fear crawled into him. “Don’t be scared,” Alfred said suddenly. “I just need to check something.” Grey looked at him and raised a brow. “What is that?” Alfred looked down at the ring. “May I have a look?” Grey clenched his teeth angrily. “I’m not giving you this ring! It’s mine and I don’t care if it’s old-fashioned but it’s mine!” ” What?” Alfred gathered his brows. ” No, I mean I’m not taking it. I just want to check out something, please.” Grey hesitated for a moment and slowly stretched the ring out. Alfred took it and looked over at the inscription. The word was clear as the day. There was a big ‘Hercules’ on it. Alfred’s heart skipped a beat as he looked up at Grey, his body shuddering slightly. This old man was very excited, he mumbled, “Hercules, Hercules…” Grey didn’t know what happened but he didn’t dare to move. Suddenly Alfred got on his knee, the old man cried. “Finally we found you, Master!”
