Chapter 414: Secret admirer

"What would have happened If we hadn't arrived in time?"

Aphrodite released a wave of anger.

"Calm down, Aphrodite. I'm here now, aren't I? And that's all that matters." Grey said, with a little smile.

Aphrodite released a sigh. "I'm still annoyed about it. You will have to do more than beg me. You are buying me dinner tomorrow."

"Is that all you want?"

Aphrodite nodded once. "That's all."

Grey chuckled. "Consider it done. Actually, I heard there's a nice place here. I would love to go there with you after it's all settled between me and Maximo."

Aphrodite nodded again and glanced at Aurora. 'What are you going to do with her?"

"Nothing, Novia. I'm not going to kill her. She has nothing to do with whatever I'm planning with Maximo."

Aphrodite groaned inwardly. "Alright. But do you think that Maximo will show up? Aurora is just a mistress to him. He could change one whenever he wish. I don't think he would be pushed to come and face you."

"There's only one way to find out, Aphrodite. Let's not rush."

"That aside, what if it's all a plan? Just what if James is the one planning against you? You know, he could do that with Maximo and considering the fact that they are brothers." Charles said suddenly.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

Grey reasoned for a moment. "Maybe but why would James want to do that to me?"

Charles shrugged slightly. "That I don't know. All I know is that we have to be very careful."

Grey flashed him a smile before he walked to the back seat. "Let's go to Ex- Maximo. We can find all the answers that we want there."

Charles groaned and moved towards the driver's side. "I knew that you wouldn't listen."

Grey laughed. "Have I ever listened to you?"

"Never and he wouldn't. He's too stubborn," Aphrodite muttered as she slipped into the passenger seat reluctantly. She glanced back at Aurora and muttered some inaudible under her breath.

Aurora looked at Grey. "Are you going to kill me?"

"I'm seriously thinking about it," Aphrodite said quickly before Grey would say a word.

"Please," Aurora stiffed the tears that threatened to break loose. "

Please, don't kill me. I'm the only child that my parents have. Even though I'm forced to be here and not be with them, it's still fine as long as I'm alive," she rushed the word out, with a shaking voice.

Grey looked at Aurora. "Why aren't you with them? School?"

Aurora shook her head briefly and looked away. "No, I'm only Maximo's mistress anyways. I mean it's bad when a mafia lord takes interest in you, being a pole dancer. Maybe it would be a blessing to some but to me, it's worst than death itself and I don't even have the freedom to protest."

"You are young actually, you should be in school," Charles said suddenly.

Aurora looked at Charles and smiled softly. Actually, there was something about Charles that she loved even though he seemed to be the hard one among them. Maybe it was love at first sight.

"I don't even have the money to go to school. I started pole dancing so that I can keep money for school but since Maximo showed up, it hasn't been the same," she explained.

Grey was watching her. "Why do you still pole dance if you are Maximo's mistress?"

Aurora kept mute for a moment and Grey remembered that he had asked her the same question earlier but Aurora has been secretive about it.

"That's because I'm only a sex toy to him. I am not allowed to charge anyone or get paid for pole dancing. I'm only supposed to lure men over, do what he wants, and then get fucked at any time!"

She stressed the last part, with a hint of sadness, her gaze on Charles.

Even if Charles would like her, that would change after what she had said. Charles didn't talk again or maybe he was thinking deeply about something. Aurora desperately wanted him to talk. She wanted to know what he was thinking about.

Maybe, just maybe Charles knew how Aurora had been looking at him.

Maybe but Grey knew. He saw it and knew instantly what it was all about.

"That's actually bad," Grey looked away, not really believing in love again. Love as he knew had always hurt him more than Giovanni had hurt him. "I just wonder why you would try to kill the man that was going to help you."

Aurora's eyes widened with shock as she stared right at Grey again,

"You are going to help me?"

Grey groaned. "I changed my mind. Let's see if Charles is interested in doing so," he muttered, intentionally directing it back at Charles.

Aurora looked over at Charles, feeling like a fool before she looked away and decided to wait for whatever punishment was on the way for her.

"Well, it's normal. Mafia lords are like that. They are always having women and well, except for Hercules. He seemed to be doing exactly the opposite," Aphrodite uttered.

"Hercules. You know him?" Aurora was forced to speak again.

Though, there hasn't been much about Hercules in Italy since there were a lot of mafia lords but Aurora used to be in

Jacksonville. So, she knew about Hercules and Giovanni.

Aphrodite nodded once. "Yes, yes, yes. He's the one beside you."

For a moment, it looked like the world stopped moving as Aurora turned toward Grey, at the same time that Grey was also turning toward her.

"What! You are Hercules? I," her voice shook with tremor as she quickly looked away and knelt. "I_im very sorry. I didn't know."

Grey groaned inwardly and pushed back his head in a way that showed he was angry.

"Stop the car!" He ordered while still feigning anger. Aurora felt a rush of adrenaline at the fact that she could lose her head.

Charles pulled to a sudden stop. "Is anything wrong?"

"This is all Aphrodite's fault. She's not even supposed to say that." Aphrodite laughed. "I thought she should know her place."

Grey hesitated. Aphrodite was keeping girls away from him. She was probably scared of things that had happened with Caramel repeating itself but she didn't even know that Aurora had been admiring Charles secretly.

He got down and moved to the passenger's seat. He opened the door and looked down at Charles. "Get down!" He ordered in a deep voice.

Charles complied immediately. "Is something wrong?"

"Back seat!" He said quickly. "If you still plan on coming with me. Novia, you come and drive."

"What!" Aphrodite gasped softly. "Why would I do that? Why would I drive Aurora?" She protested softly.

"Well, Charles has been driving her. Are you better than Charles?"

Aphrodite looked up at Charles for a moment and pouted. "Why can't Charles drive? He has been doing that anyways."

"I can_," Charles started.

"Shut up, Charles, and move to the back seat!" Grey cut in quickly.

Charles was always stepping in for Aphrodite even when they were just having fun. He was too protective of Aphrodite and Grey knew he might not even be able to fall out of love with her if it continues.

Charles didn't say a word as he opened the back seat and got inside.

Aurora, who has been watching Charles, looked away as he got inside, her cheeks turning tomato red.

"You heard me, Aphrodite. Don't make me repeat myself," he warned dangerously.

Aphrodite smacked her lips angrily, as she got out of the passenger's side and moved towards the driver's side.Just as she was about to walk past him, he stopped her and whispered into her ears. "Do this and I will stay with you throughout the night after dinner tomorrow."
