Chapter 527: The deal

Grey didn’t want it to look weird, so he didn’t walk inside and instead decided to continue
eavesdropping until Aphrodite was done talking.

“But how did you discover this? You’ve been unconscious since the night of the announcement and I
don’t remember anyone discussing it around you.”

Aphrodite nodded once. “I know. But it doesn’t really matter how I came about it. I’m just concerned
about Avery. I hope nothing happens to her.”

Charles released a sigh. “Grey is not like other mafia bosses. He has a great heart. He’s only
concerned with Avery. I don’t think he’s ever going to give saying Avery a chance. His marriage with
her was under circumstances and it ended in a bad way,” he explained.

Aphrodite scoffed. “Maybe but well, I’m not concerned about that. I just want to make sure that Avery is
fine.”

Charles nodded once. “I will ask about how she is doing from Grey,” he assured.

Aphrodite smiled at this. ’Thank you. So, what about Alex and Giovanni?’

‘ Well, Alex has been taken. Grey presented a lot of evidence in court that would definitely keep Alex
away for a while.”

‘ While we deal with Giovanni,’ Grey said suddenly, cutting through Charles’ words as he walked inside.

Aphrodite’s face brightened up at the sight of him. “Grey,” she called softly.

Grey smiled and pulled up three bags. “I got you all your favorites,” he moved closer. ’Actually, I’m
trying to think of a better plan but I’m yet to find one.”



“Giovanni still has power even though it’s not equivalent to yours. Maybe we could use that against
him.”

Grey nodded once. “I planned to see the special members tonight, remember? So, I think I will discuss
some things with them.”

Charles nodded once. “Should I go with you?”

“Yes, of course,” he looked at Aphrodite. “How do you really feel now?”

Aphrodite smiled softly. “I feel very fine but well, I’m so hungry. I was waiting for you.”

Grey arranged the table for her and looked at Charles. He mouthed a follow me to him before he stood
up and walked out of the room, Charles followed him.

“I don’t sincerely like you talking about Avery with Aphrodite.”

Charles sighed. “She asked about her. I dont know how she knew but I couldn’t lie to her about it.”

Grey shook his head briefly. “Just tell her you dont want to talk about it. The whole conversation is
weird, ok?”

“Sure but what are you so worried about? Aphrodite knows you love Avery but she’s not even bothered
about it.”

“I don’t love Avery,” Grey said quickly before Charles would finish. ’Avery is my ex-wife and that’s it.
You don’t think I shouldn’t protect her merely because she had wronged me in the past? Besides, I was
the one that forced her to come to Jacksonville. It’s my duty to protect her,” he explained.

“Alright,” Charles nodded briefly, as he dramatically stretched up his hands. “I understand. It’s very
much ok and I will be careful next time.”



“Better,” Grey muttered and stepped inside.

Charles watched him for a moment and huffed. He wasn’t going in a hurry anyways. He was going to
know how Grey really feel about Avery very soon.

Grey and Charles set out to one of his suites. The special members were going to be around soon and
Grey had already informed one of his men to direct them to their private suite whenever they arrive.

“Are you still planning on rescuing Jimmy?” Charles asked suddenly.

“I don’t plan on going back on my words. I’m actually going to do it tonight.”

“It’s dangerous, Grey. How will you even lure Giovanni out? He’s always in the house, with a lot of men
protecting him. We can as well just attack him and see how it goes,” he explained.

Grey smiled softly. “And what if there’s a way to lure Giovanni out of the house?”

Charles looked at him. “Lure him out?”

“Yes. I have already done that, Charles. He will be out soon. In fact, I am going to infiltrate his base
before I meet with the special members. That was why we set out earlier.”

Charles was shocked for a moment. “Seriously? I didn’t know you’d planned so much. You aren’t really
concerned about Jimmy. But I still don’t think we should risk the lives of our men because of him. In
fact, we could lose some of our men and what would that do to us?”

Grey glanced at him. “We won’t be losing anyone, Grey, believe me. I know what I’m doing this time, at
least,” he muttered and turned the car over.

He pulled to a sudden stop and looked at Charles. “Meet with the special members and keep them
busy for now, I mean till I’m back.”



Charles stared, confused. “What are you doing?’

“What I told you,” Grey muttered and got down.

Charles did the same. “Wait, I will just go with you and be assured that you will be fine.”

Grey shook his head briefly. “No, that won’t happen. I will be fine. I’m going with some of my men
already.”

Charles felt reluctant. “I don’t feel good about this, Grey.”

Grey released a sigh. “Do what your boss wants, Charles. It’s an order,” he finished and flagged down
a cab.

Charles watched him for a moment before he entered the car and drove towards the suite.

Jimmy felt very exhausted. He tried to keep his eyes open several times but it was very different. His
eyes have swollen up due to the constant beating.

And he didn’t think it was going to stop soon. Perhaps he was going to die as Mark had said.

The door opened and a man walked inside. It was the man that have been torturing him.

“Are you ready to talk?” The man moved closer to Jimmy.

Jimmy didn’t respond. Actually, he was too tired too. Asides, he was feeling pain throughout his body.

“What? Are you trying to say something?” The man mocked and moved even closer to him. “What did
you say?”

“Go to hell!’ Jimmy muttered.



The word got the man so upset that he slapped Jimmy. The pain resounded through Jimmy’s ears. The
pain mixed with the previous ones and almost made him lose his mind. He groaned inwardly instead.

“Well, I have a piece of good news for you. Im sure you will have no choice but to talk at this stage.”

He stretched out a phone to Jimmy. A video was playing. Actually, the video was about Mark.

Mark was lying on the floor, half-conscious, and blood all over his face.

Jimmy felt a stab of annoyance. “What have you done to him?’

“I don’t care!” The man laughed. “It’s Giovanni’s order. You do know that Giovanni doesn’t joke around,”
he hesitated for a moment. “I have a deal for you. Tell me everything we need to know and we will let
your friend go. That’s the best one so far, the next option isn’t as friendly,” he grinned. “Or we will kill
Mark.”
