Chapter 49: The truth

“Who the fuck do you think you are? You can’t just show up now and start claiming Hercules! Where were you all these years?” Charles yelled.

Grey stared at him for a moment, he didn’t know if he was angry that he would be taking back his properties or if he was just concerned,

“Hey. Charles. You need to calm down! This is not the right time to do all this!” Aphrodite interfered.

Seriously? Charles smurked ‘Let him tell me the right time because I’m not getting it!”

Aphrodite sighed, fed up already. She decided to call on Alfred, perhaps he could settle the fight between Grey and Charles “Where’s Alfred? Is he inside?”

Charles looked at Aphrodite and nodded slightly. “His documents and all other stuff are inside. I believe I’m not needed here anymore and I’m leaving! He snarled

Aphrodite stormed inside, leaving the two men staring daggers at each other

“Nothing to say? Cat got your tongue?” Charles teased “I’m sure you were the one that just introduced yourself as Hercules now or was there someone else?” He turned around sarcastically.

“Why don’t you ask your father where I have been all these years?” Grey said suddenly, shocking Charles for a moment

He whirled to look at Grey. There was a surprised look on his face. “What did you just say?”

Grey took a step closer, filling the gap between them. I just said you should find the right person to blame. It wasn’t like I was out there, hiding away from my responsibility Wait, is that how it looked to you? * Grey pointed out. He was getting angry as well.

Charles blinked once, unable to fully comprehend what he was saying

Grey clenched his teeth “You know what? You shouldn’t be the one angry, I should be because I watched your father shoot my father!” He yelled though he regretted talking about it the moment the words left his mouth.

CCharles’seyes went wide with shock Though, if it was because of the revelation of her father’s wrongdoing or because he didn’t know that Grey knew about the act, that was something Grey didn’t know

“What are you saying?” Charles stammered His voice went soft and low. He felt defeated

*Ask your fatherl Grey yelled again. He had been keeping it in for a while and he thought it was finally good to let it out Though, maybe things would never remain the same. If Charles was the spy, then he might expect evil days sooner than later.

Charles cleared his throat meaningfully. “Are you saying my father killed your father before he died?”

Grey hissed.” Your father killed my father and shot me as well. Apparently, he wanted you to acquire my properties which is what you are currently doing. Or why are you angry that I’m getting my properties back frorn you?” He accused, his blue eyes drilling holes in Charles’s face.

Charles sucked in a breath, he turned away as he tried to assess the whole thing. He turned back to Grey again

“You mean my father killed your father? No! That’s not correct! It’s not possible! How could that happen? They used to be friends.” He argued.

How else did you think I stood far away all these years? I didn’t even remember who I was until I met Alfred I’ve been living in misery while you enjoyed my wealth So, why are you so angry?” Grey tried to calm down He was starting to lose it which was so bad

Grey took in another deep breath before speaking again if you leave now, I will assume you know about The whole plan,’ he looked up and caught Aphrodite He didn’t know how long she had been there or how much she had heard

“What is happening here?” Gregory said behind them suddenly

The trio turned around to look at Gregory

There was a bright smile on Gregory’s face “Don’t tell me the meeting is over, already

“No.” Grey said quickly. “We are just going in,” he added and stared up at Charles as if daning him to say no

“Yes” Charles chimed in “Well, welcome Gregory It’s nice to see your face after avoiding me for months

Gregory smiled ‘I’m busier than you.”

Aphrodite sensed the sensation between Charles and Grey but she didn’t know what it was all about The last statement was the only thing that she heard and that made it look even weirder. Though, she knew at that point that there was something that both Charles and Grey were hiding

They walked inside the spacious living room
