Chapter 398: Running wild

Grey couldn't stop feeling regret, it ate him deep. He could have avoided the tragedy. He could have stopped Jimmy from dying. If only he had allowed him to follow him.

But he would have been dead if Emily hadn't called him. He was just a minute away from death. The thoughts crumbled in him in some sort of crazy confusion.

The door opened suddenly and Emily entered the car through the driver's side. She let out a sigh. They have been in the car for ages now. Grey wanted to be alone so Emily went away. But the reason why she was suddenly back was because she had something to tell him.

"Here," she stretched the magazine at him. "I saw this and I had to return quickly to show you."

Grey took the paper slowly. At first, he didn't see what she was trying to say but when he adjusted his eyes, he saw his picture on the right-hand side and with a headline underneath it. His eyes went wide with shock. "What!"

"Everyone thinks you are dead, boss," Emily muttered.

Grey couldn't believe his eyes, couldn't believe his ears. It was exactly what Giovanni wanted anyways and he would be overjoyed that he was gone.

If that was the case, then his elders would already be looking for him or accepting the painful lies that he was gone.

"Drive me home," he ordered suddenly and threw the magazine back at Emily.

Emily took it and placed it safely in the back seat before she started the ignition and drove out into the street.

He dialed Aphrodite's number. It rang for the first time but she didn't pick up. Grey tried it again and eventually, she picked up before it would stop ringing again. There was a little hesitation. Hello."

"I'm on my way home, meet me at home."

"Who are you? Why are you with Grey's phone?" Aphrodite bombarded calmly.

Grey groaned. "It's Grey and I'm not dead! I'm on my way home, meet me there," he finished, not waiting for Aphrodite to talk before he hung up. A few minutes later, Emily hit the brake at Grey's house. Grey got down and walked inside immediately, his thoughts clouded.

Emily hesitated behind him as she watched him enter the house.

Grey was feeling so bad even though the person that died was his driver. She knew some mafia bosses weren't like that. Does it mean that Grey was weak?
