Chapter 431: Get together
It was late in the night and time does the get-together that he had promised Maximo and the other mafia lords.
As Grey had his bath, he couldn't stop thinking about what had happened that morning and the fact that Charles hadn't returned home.He had called him several times but he wouldn't pick up.
And he was still grieving the fact that Aphrodite was no longer his.
Well, that was what he wanted, wasn't it? The main reason why he had started to think of giving her a chance was that he didn't want to hurt her forever but now that it looked like she had found another guy, it was best for him to stop thinking.
Yet, Grey couldn't stop thinking about it throughout the day.
A soft knock sounded on the door, just a Grey was wearing his trouser.
Before he could talk, the door opened and Charles walked inside.He was clad in Louis Vuitton wear, different from the clothes he was putting on that morning when he ran out of the house.
"You look ready," Grey muttered.
Charles nodded once.
"Yes, I am.In fact, your men are already waiting for you downstairs."
Grey regarded him for a moment.
"Are you alright? Did something happen to Aurora?"
Charles went mute for a moment.
"Aurora left Italy already.Actually, she wanted us to talk before she would leave but I missed her already."
Grey sighed, concerned.
"What are you going to do now?"
"Nothing," Charles sighed.
"She once told me she would like to return to Jacksonville.I will just have to think that's where she went to.Then, I can comb through the city of Jacksonville for her when we get back."
Grey nodded.
"That's good."
He was done in no time and they both walked out of the house.
Two men were already waiting for Grey like Charles had said.
Charles and Grey entered the backseat while the men took the front seat.
And they arrived at Ex- Maximo in no time.
Grey had never been to a party quite like this before.
The Ex- Maximo Club was filled with different kinds of exotic alcohol and sexy ladies.
It was a gathering of some of the most powerful mafia bosses in Italy.
And yet, Grey felt completely at home.
Maximo met Grey the moment he walked inside with Charles.
"Grey! Welcome!"
The party was just starting when Maximo led Grey to a large table in the center of the room.
It was surrounded by plush couches and chairs, and several attractive women were already seated there.
The club was seething with a lot of people and Grey loved the feeling.
The only people present at the gathering that Grey was invited to were the mafia lords and girls that were brought to satisfy them. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
"We have been waiting for you!"
Enzo said suddenly with a wide smile on his face.
Grey went to sit with Charles.
"Here's Charles, my right hand."
Grey watched as they exchanged pleasantries with Charles.
"That reminds me," Leonardo said suddenly.
"There's someone I forgot to introduce you to.Actually, he wasn't around that morning.It's," he gestured towards a man by his right.
"This is Carlo!"
Grey turned towards him and shock kept him motionless for a moment.He was looking at the manager.
"Aren't you the manager of the Luxurious boutique?" Carlo nodded briefly.
"I am.Nice meeting you."
Grey was really happy.He hadn't expected it.
No wonder he was able to tackle the president's son.
If it was someone else, he would have taken the president's son's side.
"So, why are you in Italy?" Romeo asked suddenly.
Grey relaxed.
"Well, it's more on a vacation level.I just came here to see this side of the world.And besides, I wanted to discuss my shares with Maximo," he explained.
Everyone nodded in understanding.
Grey was surprised by how easily he was accepted into their world.He didn't quite understand why, but he was grateful for it.
Two ladies walked closer to Grey and Charles.
They slipped into the seat beside them.
Grey looked at them and shook his head briefly.
They understood his language and walked away.
"So, Maximo,"
Grey turned to him.
"I need another assistance from you.The receptionist you sacked yesterday.Can you employ her back?" Maximo nodded.
"Anything for you, Grey."
As the night went on, Grey was given special treatment.
More women were assigned to his couch to please him, but he wasn't interested.He politely declined their advances and focused on the conversation with the other mafia bosses.
Maximo eventually made his way over to Grey's couch and shared a drink with him.
They talked about business and the future of their organizations.
"You can talk to me whenever you need anything and it will be done," Maximo promised.
Grey nodded once.
"I will remember that.Thank you for all this.And yes, I will like to see Mattee before I leave.I hope you can arrange that."
Maximo nodded once.
"That's simple."
After the formalities of the party, everyone was doing other things.
Some were dancing to the music, while others were playing card games.
Grey decided to take a walk around the club and explore.He made his way to the bar and ordered a drink.He walked out of the bar.
As he sipped his drink, he overheard a conversation between two men in the corner of the room.
They were discussing a shipment of drugs that was coming in soon.
Grey knew that this was valuable information.
He quickly finished his drink and made his way back to Maximo's couch.
Maximo was busy talking to another mafia boss, so Grey discreetly slipped him a note with the information he had overheard.
Maximo smiled.
"Thank you so much, Grey," he expressed and slipped the note into his pocket.
Grey felt a sense of satisfaction knowing that he had helped Maximo in some small way.
The party continued into the early hours of the morning.
Grey was exhausted, but he didn't want to leave just yet. n.ovelebook He felt like he had finally found a place where he belonged.
As the sun began to rise, Grey walked to Charles who was still drinking and chatting with the other mafia men.
Some had retired.
"Charles, we need to leave.It's time to go," he informed him.
Charles nodded and stood.
Grey greeted the men and made his way back to his villa.
He was still processing everything that had happened that night.
He knew that he had gotten in deep with the Italian mafia, but he wondered why they wanted to be close to him.
