Chapter 49: The truth

“Who the fuck do you think you are? You can’t just show up now and start claiming Hercules! Where were you all these years?” Charles yelled.

Grey stared at him for a moment, he didn’t know if he was angry that he would be taking back his properties or if he was just concerned,

“Hey. Charles. You need to calm down! This is not the right time to do all this!” Aphrodite interfered.

Seriously? Charles smurked ‘Let him tell me the right time because I’m not getting it!”

Aphrodite sighed, fed up already. She decided to call on Alfred, perhaps he could settle the fight between Grey and Charles “Where’s Alfred? Is he inside?”

Charles looked at Aphrodite and nodded slightly. “His documents and all other stuff are inside. I believe I’m not needed here anymore and I’m leaving! He snarled

Aphrodite stormed inside, leaving the two men staring daggers at each other

“Nothing to say? Cat got your tongue?” Charles teased “I’m sure you were the one that just introduced yourself as Hercules now or was there someone else?” He turned around sarcastically.

“Why don’t you ask your father where I have been all these years?” Grey said suddenly, shocking Charles for a moment

He whirled to look at Grey. There was a surprised look on his face. “What did you just say?”

Grey took a step closer, filling the gap between them. I just said you should find the right person to blame. It wasn’t like I was out there, hiding away from my responsibility Wait, is that how it looked to you? * Grey pointed out. He was getting angry as well.

Charles blinked once, unable to fully comprehend what he was saying

Grey clenched his teeth “You know what? You shouldn’t be the one angry, I should be because I watched your father shoot my father!” He yelled though he regretted talking about it the moment the words left his mouth.

CCharles’seyes went wide with shock Though, if it was because of the revelation of her father’s wrongdoing or because he didn’t know that Grey knew about the act, that was something Grey didn’t know
