Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate

Chapter 293: Final whistle

Grey jumped on Charles very fast at the same time that he pulled the trigger. His thought was to take

the gun from him before he would pull the trigger but it was too late.

When Grey looked down, he saw blood and his eyes went wide with shock.

He felt a sharp pain coursing through his body. "No, Charles! Why did you do this?" He yelled and

adjusted so that Charles' head would be on his lap.

Blood was gushing out of Charles's chest and his face had suddenly turned pale.

"Ambulance!" One of the elders yelled.

'Tm sorry, Grey," Charles muttered. Tears were slipping out of his eyes.

Grey held him closer to himself like a baby and images from their childhood flooded in. They were

close, very close then but suddenly, they've drifted apart. But deep down, Grey loved Charles like a

brother would do.

"Fuck you, Charles!" Grey yelled at him. "You shouldn't have done this!"

Charles shook his head briefly. "I just avenged you," he swallowed harder and winced in pain. "I'm just

sorry it’s not enough to bring back everything you have lost! I know you hate my father so much and

you will so much wish for his death but-," he hesitated and his facial expression changed as pain

stabbed into him. "Please, forgive him. He did it for me."

"Fuck!" Grey cursed angrily. "I wasn't going to shoot him! Why did you have to shoot yourself?"

Charles smiled slightly. "I know. I know you were pulling back because of me. That’s why I decided to

sacrifice myself, even though-," he groaned out loud. "Even though," he hesitated and the tears slipped

out of his eyes. "I

don't want to die. I promised to serve you till your death. I," he almost choked on tears. "I really don't

want to die. But I don't regret my actions. I’m just going to miss you,” he tried to smile again but it failed

this time.

Grey felt the tears slip out of his eyes as he touched Charles's face." Brother," his voice vibrated with

the word.

Charles smiled slightly and suddenly went still.

"Charles!" Leo yelled and broke down in tears. "Why did you have to shoot yourself? Get up and shoot

me!" He yelled with sadness and regret.

Some men rushed inside and pulled Charles apart from Grey. They rushed him into the ambulance.

Grey regarded them for a moment, as he felt the gun in his pocket. He had kept it earlier when the

nurses rushed inside. Aphrodite went with the ambulance while the rest stood behind.

While the elders were watching the car, Grey left.

Alfred released an exasperated sigh. "What are we going to do now?"

Gregory shivered slightly. "This is just too much. If we continued to do this, Giovanni might actually

win."

"Yea, especially with the fact that Giovanni now knows who Grey is. We need to dispatch the men,"

Luciano suggested.

"Yes, I support the motion but let's talk to Hercules about it," Jayden was saying as he turned towards

where Grey initially was. "Where's Hercules?"

They all turned towards the location and realised that Grey was gone.

Grey's head was reeling as he ran through the street. He intentionally didn't take the car because he

didn’t want the elders to stop him. He was determined.

It was almost seven at night which was the best time for what he was going to do.

He flagged down a taxi. The taxi stopped and he got inside.

"Where are you off to?"

"Just go ahead, I will tell you when to stop," he assured.

It was a closing hour so he was sure that Hattie would be at home.

He didn't believe that Hattie killed his mother while Giovanni murdered his father and also made him

lose ten years of his life. He had been viewing things differently and he was going to change it.

He was going to draw a battle between himself and Giovanni. A fierce battle that either ends with Grey

or Giovanni. And guess what, Grey was going to start with Hattie.

He stopped the car and paid before he moved to Hattie estate. She only had a security guard

The DNA result was out and Giovanni had been staring at it for over thirty minutes. He couldn't quite

wrap it around his head. The result matched. How could it be? How could he have missed it? He could

have killed Hercules himself a long time ago.

The door opened suddenly and a man strode inside. "Boss, you have a call from the small master," he

stretched out the phone to him.

Giovanni took it. "Hello."

"Hello father, you need to come here now. There's something you have to see."

Giovanni raised skeptical brows. "What is it? Where are you?"

'Tm at Hattie's place and you won’t believe what I just saw. You need to come here immediately."

"Alright, I will be there soon," he hung up, dropped the result, and hurried out of the house.

He soon arrived at Hattie's house. There were a lot of his men around and in fact, he still came with

more to keep himself protected.

Alex walked out to him. "Dad, come," he invited and led him inside the house. They walked inside the

living room and into the kitchen.

Giovanni hesitated as he stared at Hattie in blood. "What the fuck happened here?"

Alex sighed. "I found her like this, with a bullet to her heart. But I found something else."

Giovanni was still looking at Hattie's corpse when Alex manoeuvred around the counter and withdrew

something he could see at first until he got closer.

He regarded it for a moment. It was a toy car with blood all over it. There was a big alphabet 'H' on it.

Alex took it and dropped the toy car on the floor. He stretched it out to Giovanni.

"Here."

Giovanni took it and studied it for a moment before realisation dawned on him. "H is for Hercules," he

muttered and opened the cardboard.

He read;

"Let's play a game, Giovanni. I love chess.'
