Chapter 514: The kiss
It was as if Grey wasn't really interested in her and it hurt greatly to see that.But it didn't matter to her again.She just wanted the
dance and she was going to get it.
Avery took another step closer to him, moving too close for comfort.
Such movement amused Grey because he didn't know that Avery knew he was Grey.But he knew what she wanted and thought
he could at least give her that since Aphrodite wasn't available.So, he stretched out towards her and waited.
Avery hesitated, as if just seeing the consequences of her action and wanting to make a rethink but it was too late.She took
it.She felt an electric sort of thing as she took it and they started dancing.
Though, she felt like he was a bit different, just like he was when she met him in Italy.He seemed to command authority.
The aura of authority and fear that hovered around him was not what she was associated with.But she loved it.
"Hercules doesn't talk to the lady he's dancing with?" Avery teased.
Hercules regarded her for a moment as he whirled her slowly and briefly.
Other people have joined at this moment and the light wasn't at all concentrating on Grey and Avery anymore.
"You look like a really brave lady, I mean to have wanted to dance with me."
"Don't blame me," Avery laughed.
"Every lady here will kill to take my place.I just got lucky, I think that I was selected."
Grey laughed and the sound felt familiar to what Avery was associated with.It made her calm down, even though a series of
emotions was making her almost lose her mind.She just couldn't stop the mad beating of her heart.
"Besides, don't you like a bold lady? Doesn't it fit your status? Grey nodded once.
"They should be bold but not too much," he whirled her close to him now.
Her head was resting on his chest and it made Avery's heart thump even madly in her chest that she nearly thought Grey would
hear.
Grey moved his mouth to her ear.
"I like it_," he started, his hot breath fanning her ear.
"_when they rely on me, not them thinking I was relying on them."
Avery had a mental flashback immediately to the days when they were still married.
Avery had always thought he was powerless and had always relied on her.
But as it turned out, Grey has been secretly helping her out.
The guilt ate her so deep and she wanted to pull away but Grey was holding her firmly.He turned her around again so that Avery
could dance and look at him.
"I'm sorry," she muttered.
Grey hesitated.
"What for?"
"For this," she muttered and went on her toes, stretching up very fast.
Before Grey would realise what was happening, her lips collided with him.She faltered, almost falling back because her weight
wasn't on him.
Grey caught her immediately and pulled her against him.
Avery rested fully on him and several paparazzi took shots of them in the compromising position before Grey could pull away.
"What was that?" Grey inquired in deep low tones.
Avery shuddered briefly but still tried to convince herself that it was Grey that was standing in front of her and not some mafia
lords.
Grey wouldn't kill her, right? "I kissed you.So, what? Are you going to kill me?"
Grey moved his mouth to her ear again, leaning too close for comfort that Avery almost stopped beating again.
"I might as well do that.Don't underestimate me," he muttered and released her slowly.
"Be careful around all mafia lords, it's very dangerous," he warned and walked away.
Avery tried to steady her heavy breathing.
Grey was starting to do things to her again.
Giovanni left the hall angrily.He was fuming with rage.He couldn't even believe it, and has never imagined it. novelebook.com He
tried everything so hard, how could he have missed it? Alex walked inside.
"Is it true, Dad? It's all over the fucking news! Grey was alive all these while? And he was the billionaire president of Italy?"
Giovanni clenched his fist in anger and looked at Mark.
"This was all your fucking fault! How did Grey enter the hall? How the fuck did he do that?" Mark swallowed harder as he didn't
even know how he was supposed to start.
"A lot of our men died in this.What explanation do you even have?" Alex yelled as well.
Mark went on on knee.
"I'm so sorry, boss.It was my fault.I should not have believed Jimmy.He tricked me."
Giovanni gathered his brows amazingly.
"Jimmy is back?" Mark nodded once.
"Yes, boss.He is.He came to me and told me he wanted to warm you.He said they were attacked in Italy.I was a fool for believing
him."
Giovanni reasoned it for a moment.
"Could Jimmy be working for Grey? Does it mean he has betrayed me?"
"Where's he at this moment?" Alex questioned.
"He got injured by the men.When I woke up, I took him into the car and made sure he was unable to escape.He's still in the car
as we speak." Giovanni made a sinister laugh.
"No problem, he will suffer for all of this.Take him to the torture room." Mark bowed slightly.
"Alright boss," he responded and walked out.
Alex turned to look at his father.
"What will happen to me now? What does this have to do with me? How does it help me? What about the pardon parole you
promised me? How am I supposed to get it?"
Giovanni gave him cold eyes.
"I'm thinking.And if Grey had already seen you, then it might already be too late." Alex clenched his fist in anger.
"Fuck!" He yelled and hurried out.
Just before he was able to enter his house, he saw the police walk towards his father's villa.He almost stopped breathing.He
didn't need anyone to tell him before he knew they were there for him.
Grey actually knew where he was? Or maybe he was the one that lured him to Jacksonville.
What the fuck was he saying? Grey was the president of the billionaire club in Italy.
Maximo knew that he was in Italy.He could have told Grey.
Aside from him, someone else also knew that he was in Italy.
Avery! Grey's ex-wife.It wasn't just a coincidence.
