Secretly The Billionaire Boss

Chapter 519: Shot!



Giovanni banged his table angrily as he thought about it.He had been deceived by Grey several times.
The fact that Grey was as young as his son, yet he could deceive him so much amazed him.He wasn't even ready to think about
what would happen after the news got out about Alex's escape.He would need to go through several proceedings to prove
himself and escape punishment or the disgrace would be too much for him to handle.
"So, Alex ran away?" He muttered.
"Yes, boss.The police looked for him everywhere but they couldn't find him before they left.In fact, after they left, we tried to look
for him too but we discovered he wasn't even in the house.One of the cars went missing as well."
"Well, one of the security guards said they saw him drive out.Giovanni looked away, as a flash of anger passed through him.
"There's only a way out for us both.You have to look for Alex.We have to be the one to deliver him to the police before it gets
broadcasted and before it looks like I had planned this," he explained.
"Alright boss," the men chorused.
"Leave now and make sure you find him in time.And you find him alive," Giovanni muttered.
The man bowed slightly and walked out of the room.
Giovanni turned to look at Mark.
"We are going to Jimmy.He caused all this and will suffer it." Mark bowed slightly.
"I will take you there," he finished and walked out of the room.
Giovanni followed him, anger rushing in and out of him.
Grey was fuming when he reached the garage.He hesitated briefly, as a shot of anger passed through him.He wanted to yell out
loud.He felt very angry.
In fact, he could kill Alex at that moment.He had never felt so annoyed.But maybe it was his fault again that Avery was in danger
and he had to rescue her.
Fuck!

He couldn't even allow anything bad to happen to her.He didn't know what Alex was doing or if he should inform his elders.But
he still had to be very careful, anything he does might harm Avery.He entered the car and drove right to the address that Alex
had sent to him.
It was an empty and deserted street.
A car was parked on the wrong side of the road, making it look like it was blocking the other side.It was quiet and dark around.
Grey parked the car carelessly and pulled off the mask on his face.He picked up his gun from the safe before he got down.
Avery wasn't in sight anywhere.
"Avery!" Grey yelled.
His heart skipped several beats when he was met with silence.He cursed under his breath as he moved closer to the car.He
stopped suddenly when he saw Avery in the car.He released the breath he didn't even know he was holding as he yanked the
car door open.He pocketed his gun and pulled Avery's head up.
"Avery!" He called softly and shuddered her briefly.
Avery stirred after some minutes and her eyes opened slowly.She groaned and tried to concentrate on Grey.
"What are you doing here? Where am I?" She asked as she slowly withdrew from Grey as if he was a disease.
Grey took no offense because he remembered what he had said to her several minutes ago.
Grey ignored her questions.
"Are you alright?" He asked instead.
Avery rubbed the back of her head, in palem "I'm fine, just a headache."
Grey nodded once.
"Good, we have to leave.I will drive you back to the city."
Avery regarded him for a moment as if she couldn't believe it.
"I'm not coming with you," she said stubbornly.

Grey, with no wish to prolong the matter.
Though, he knew they had to leave quickly.
Alex would still be hiding around somewhere.He wouldn't have left when he was the one that called him over.
"Why did you rescue Aphrodite?" Avery went still for a moment.
"What are you talking about?" Grey released a sigh.
"Don't try to pretend, Avery.I watched the CCTV camera already.Do you," he hesitated.
"Do you_"
"Don't move, Grey," a deep voice said suddenly and Grey felt a metal substance touch his head.
"Or should I say, Hercules?"
Grey was still watching Avery and he noticed a hint of surprise on her face.He thought she was shocked by the name the
assailant had called him.
Grey started calculating quickly, how he was going to remove his gun from his pocket and aim it at Alex.
"Turn around!" The voice ordered.
Grey complied and stared at Alex.
"You wanted me, and you have me already.Let Avery go."
"Are you kidding? Let Avery go? Do you think I didn't know she was your outside man? You were in the club that night, weren't
you? Wasn't that why you told her to distract me?’
"What!"
Grey went shocked for a moment but he still wasn't receiving it.
Alex saw Grey's expression and thought he was still on point.He grinned.
"You must be surprised.Well, I discovered it late as well.But how could Avery cheat me and go scot- free?"

"See, Avery had no hand in any of this.You can just let her go, then we can discuss this." Alex chuckled.
"Do you think I'm a fool!" He yelled suddenly.
"Do you think I don't know that Avery knew you were Hercules? Since we met in Italy? You intentionally set her up with me! You
and Maximo!" He accused him.
Grey was shocked.He turned to look at Avery.
"Avery?" He called softly.He needed an explanation, quickly.
"Oh, don't give me that.Don't fucking pretend!" Alex yelled again and suddenly started laughing nervously.
"I know what you are doing, I do! But don't try it again!"
Avery looked at Alex for a moment, then at Grey.She released a long sigh.
"Yes! I'm aware!" She said suddenly.
"I discovered who you really were in Italy.I knew all this while who you really were.novelebook.com That was why I had to drag
Aphrodite out of the room," Avery explained.
Grey couldn't talk for a moment.He was just too shocked.
There was no way he could guess that Avery knew who he was all this while.
While they danced, while they kissed, while he spoke back to her! It was insane.
"Why?" Avery regarded him for a while.
"Why? The reason why I called you David when I knew you were Grey? The man I have ever loved? The man I think of all the
time? The man I think would never forgive me for everything I have done to him? I know there's no chance for me but_"
She stopped suddenly as she lurched forward faster.She was closer and it was easy for her to fall on him.
Because of her weight, Grey was made to fall back to the car seat as a gunshot sounded.
"Avery!"

Grey breathed out, shocked and devastated.
But the stain of blood on her hand brought him to reality.
Someone has been shot! But who was? Grey or Avery?
