Secretly The Billionaire Boss

Chapter 499: Pursuit



"What the fuck!"
Avery released a chuckle.
"You are kidding, right? Is this a joke to you?"
"Does this look like a fucking joke to you?" Chloe asked, half yelling.
Avery was taken aback.
"What!" She repeated, half- conscious.
"There's no fucking way! How?"
"I didn't believe it either, initially.I mean it wasn't possible.How could Grey be Hercules? How would Hercules be the man that we
do insult,"
Chloe made a rumble of laughter as if she was still finding it difficult to accept the truth, even at that moment? "I mean_,"
Chloe took her seat.
"I only saw him with the rest of the elders and they very much respected him.But later on, when I appeared at the party.Yes! The
party!"
Avery's eyes went wide.
"The party where you danced with Hercules?" Chloe nodded quickly.
"Yes.I was able to confirm it that day and he made me promise not to tell anyone under any circumstances," she revealed.
Avery couldn't move.She had never felt so shocked in her entire life.She couldn't think about it for a moment.How could Grey be
Hercules? "No,"
Avery shook her head slowly.
"It's not possible."

"Have you ever wondered why he always wears a mask? I bet it's because of you.What do you think would happen if Giovanni
finds out that you are Hercules's wife? Or the rest of these mafia lords? You will be in danger," she released another sigh.
"He has always been trying to protect you but what did we do to him in return?"
Avery turned away quickly and her heart rate increased.
Beads of perspiration broke off on her forehead, even though the AC was fully active.It felt like her head was in a fog and she
couldn't breathe.
Then, it all came back at her quickly.
Protos Pubblicita was owned by Hercules.
If truly Grey was Hercules, then he owned Protos Pubblicita.
That meant he was the one that really wanted to give the contract to her.
And when Smith stepped in, he stopped it and insisted on Avery or the contract would be withdrawn.
Chloe was right! He had always protected her but she didn't even know.
Her heart sank as the feeling of sadness enveloped her.
"That's why Grey was pronounced dead the moment Hercules was.It wasn't a coincidence.It was because they were both the
same," Chloe explained.
"I can't believe he's dead, I just can't!"She sobbed softly.Avery looked back at Chloe as tears streamed down her cheeks.
"He's not dead,"she muttered.
Chloe regarded her for a moment.
"What?" Avery shook her head briefly.
"He's alive.He's not dead.I saw him."
"What do you mean? Hercules is alive?" Avery managed a smile, amidst the tears.

"Yes, he is.He's currently in Jacksonville."
"Oh my!" Chloe jubilated.She was actually glad about the news.
"That's nice, actually.I'm so glad he's alive."
Avery nodded once.
"I am as well."
"I can't believe you! I can't believe you lost him! You fools!"
Alex yelled in anger.The anger in him could actually boil eggs.He felt so annoyed.novelebook.comHe was currently in
Jacksonville in pursuit of the man that looked like Grey.
Truly, a man was sighted at the airport thirty minutes ago and he looked so much like Grey, with that mask on his face.
Alex had ordered his men to look for him unfailingly but thirty minutes later, they came back with an explanation.
Alex didn't know what to do at that moment.But he knew he might have to inform his father.
That aside, he still had to keep looking for him even if it meant combing through every corner of the city.
"You," he gestured to one of the men.
"And five of you will comb through this city to look for him.Don't come back if you don't see him.And you must see him today!
Ok?"
"Yes boss," they chorused at the same time.
Alex nodded once.
"The rest should follow me.We are meeting my father."
The ride to Giovanni's house was fast.
Alex clenched his fist in anger at the incident that had just occurred.It looked as though someone was playing with him.
The car pulled to a sudden stop in front of Giovanni's house.

Alex walked inside, only to realise that Giovanni had gone out.
Well, he had no interest in going back to Italy that day.So, he was going to wait for him.
Charles pulled the mask off his face and entered the restaurant next by.He was exhausted from running.
But he was happy that he had successfully gotten rid of Alex and his men.He found a place to sit and text a message to Grey.He
relaxed and beckoned the waiter closer.
"Here's the menu, sir," the waiter extended the menu and waited.
Charles was quick with his order and stretched it back to the waiter.His phone beeped suddenly and a message appeared on the
screen.It was from Grey and he was informing him of where he would be staying.
"Hello," a soft, yet familiar voice said suddenly as Charles was typing a message to Grey.
"Yes hi," he muttered, even though he was forced to look up but he wanted to send a message to Grey about if he knew where
Alex was at that moment.
"You seem_," the feminine voice trailed off.
"Completely obsessed with the phone."
Charles looked up at this instance and his eyes went wide with shock.He couldn't believe who was sitting in front of him, he could
never have imagined it."H_how?"
The lady smiled so enchantingly.
"I didn't know you were coming to Jacksonville so soon.In fact, I had no idea you were even going to give coming back here a
thought," she explained, her gaze locked on him.
"I waited for you that morning.Why didn't you come? Did I mean so little to you? Or you don't even love me like you said you
do?" Charles stared for a moment.
