Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate

Chapter 295: War

Aphrodite decided to check Grey's father's tombstone while Jayden went toward Victoria's.

Aphrodite kept trying Grey's line on the way but it was never available. It was as if he switched it off

intentionally because he didn't want anyone to disturb him.

Aphrodite was really worried and she was starting to feel uneasy. Yes, the truth was too much to bear.

Nothing was worse than having someone you trust betray you. That aside, Grey would be worried

about Charles.

If Charles had died, he would have blamed himself forever. But how could they even control the

situation? They succeeded in preventing Grey from shooting Leo but that was only the beginning. What

would happen in a long way?

That aside, what should they do with the fact that Giovanni now knows the secret they've kept for so

long?

Aphrodite's head hurt so much because of the whole thing but she knew she had to find Grey. Then,

the rest would follow.

She arrived at the location and hesitated before she got down. She barely took several steps along the

cemetery before she observed a man at the exact location where the previous Hercules was buried.

She moved nearer slowly and discovered it truly was Grey.

She placed a call to Jayden and he picked it up immediately.

"Have you seen Grey because I can't find him here," Jayden announced.

"I have. He's here, in front of his father's tombstone. I will stay watch over him but I think you should get

here. You should tell the elders too. I don't know how long Grey is going to stay here or how long he

has been here.

One thing I'm sure of is that he's still in the same clothes. So, we will have to think of a way to take him

out of here," she suggested.

"Alright. Stay there and don’t let him off your sight."

"I will do that," Aphrodite said and the line went off.

She stared up at Grey again. It was getting very late in the night already and there was barely anyone

around except for the caretaker.

Giovanni walked inside the library with Alex. It was where he kept the file on Grey.

"Are we supposed to wait?" Alex questioned.

Giovanni let out a sigh. "I can't wait anymore. If Leo doesn't try to meet up or respond to me, it could

only mean one thing," he hesitated and looked at Alex. "He doesn't work for me anymore."

"Fuck!" Alex cursed under his breath. "I thought we could trust him. I mean you said he had betrayed

Hercules once and could do it again," he raised a skeptical brow and waited.

"Well, something must have happened. I will find out but we don't have the time. Grey has declared

war, we must do the same," he explained.

Alex nodded once. "So, what is the plan?"

Giovanni didn't answer. Instead, he stood and moved to his desk. He retrieved a key from behind one

of the books in the library and inserted it into its hole. His eyes went wide with shock as he stared at

nothingness.

Alex observed the change in his attitude. "Dad, is something wrong?"

Giovanni didn't answer for a moment as his mind filled with the thought of how the DNA result wasn't in

the safety of the desk. He remembered placing it there the night before. Alex had called him suddenly

but he still had the time to do the necessary before he left home.

Where was the result? Who could have taken it?

"Dad, is everything alright?" Alex demanded again.

Giovanni finally looked up at him. His face was a mask of horror. "The result is gone."

Alex didn't understand at first. "What result? What do you mean by gone?"

Even Giovanni was confused. It looked as though someone was playing tricks on him. Where could the

test result have gone?

"The DNA result I placed here isn't here anymore," Giovanni explained and moved toward the second

desk. He rummaged through it and everything that was on the table. Yet, he couldn't find the result.

Alex, finally sensing that something was really off somewhere, started to unturn everything in the

library.

They searched for some minutes before Giovanni stopped and rushed to the telecom. "Pete, get inside

right now!" His voice was deep and filled with hatred and anger.

Anger coursed through his body and he shivered with it.

"Fuck! How could the result have disappeared? Are you sure you kept it here?" Alex demanded.

"I fucking did!” Giovanni yelled.

Alex hesitated and regarded his father for a moment. "Could Grey have been here?"

Giovanni slowly looked up at him. "What?"

Alex opened his mouth to say something else but the door opened and Pete walked inside.

He bowed slightly. "You called for me, Boss."

Giovanni looked at Pete. "Who the fuck entered this room? Who did?"

Pete went silent for a moment as he thought about the question. "No one did. I didn't see anyone

enter."

"Shut up," Giovanni snapped. "Check the fucking camera!" He yelled. "If I don't find out the truth, I will

kill you!"

Pete bowed again and rushed out of the room.

"Come to think of it, dad. If Leo isn't working with us, then he's probably with Grey and that means Grey

already knows we are aware of his identity. If that is the case, he could have sent anyone to get the

result," he explained.

Giovanni thought for a moment. Alex was sounding right. Why didn't he think of it earlier? Though, he

wondered how Grey discovered the result.

"Dad, we need a second plan. We need to think of something very quickly,” he muttered.

Giovanni closed his eyes for a moment. "We need the result. We need evidence to broadcast the

news."

There was a sudden knock on the door. Before they would talk, the door opened and Alex's closest

guard walked inside.

"There's a problem, boss," he pointed out.

Alex looked at him. "What's the matter?" "A forensic examiner is dead and it turned out to be the one

we know," he revealed.
