Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate

Chapter 282: Decisions

Caramel stared at him for a moment as if she was preparing the next thing to say. "Yes, I'm fucked up! I

can't keep doing this"

Grey regarded her for another moment. "Why? Why do you want to break up with me? Is it because

you are scared of Alex? Or is it that you can't bear staying with me because I’m Hercules?”

Caramel blinked once and looked away. She sucked in her breath." No," she dragged, "no,” she

repeated as if she was indecisive about her decision. "I love you, Grey but I'm scared. Oh, what I ever

wanted was not to get into all this shit. I don't want to get involved with anything Mafia. My mother was

killed by one of them and...” her voice trailed off.

Grey didn’t say a word. He didn't want to interrupt her and make her forget what she was about to say.

Caramel let out a sigh. "All I ever wanted was to have a normal man as my boyfriend. I didn't want to

get into the mess again because I'm scared of it. I don’t want someone from the mafia, I don't want

that,” she sobbed silently. "I don't even want you to get involved with the mafia, how can you now say

you are one of the popular Mafia lords?" She shook her head briefly. "I don't! I don't want to be in the

centre of it all. I don't even know why my mother died. I'm scared to shit!"

Grey regarded her for a moment. "That's why you are running?"

Caramel shook her head briefly. "I'm not running, Grey.”

"It is, Caramel, it’s running. If it's not running, what is it? Do you want to leave everything behind

because of your mother? I mean just because your mother was killed by the mafia doesn't mean you

will be killed by one.”

"Well, not now. But soon. My mother was already married before she died. It could happen at any time.

Enemies keep coming in and it never stops."

"I'm going to protect you, Caramel. I will,” Grey swore.

"No, you can't do this. Anything can happen along the way. My life is not guaranteed and it scares the

life out of me,” she confessed.

Grey sighed. "What are you going to do?”

Caramel turned to look at the water. The air was getting harder, the breeze made her feel cold and she

shivered at it.

Grey pulled off his suit and covered Caramel’s body with it.

Caramel took it with a smile of gratitude but she didn’t say a word.

Grey stared out at the water as well. He had always loved the view of water since he was young. His

father mostly take him on tours on the water whenever he was back from school.

"I'm leaving, Grey. I will leave Jacksonville," she revealed suddenly.

Grey turned towards her quickly. It was as if he heard it wrong the first time. "What did you say?"

"I’m leaving."

Grey doesn’t understand it. Avery left him because he was nobody. Caramel was going to leave him

because he was someone? Because he was Hercules? Did she want a nobody? It doesn’t even make

any sense. But he wouldn't talk about it if she didn't want to.

"Where will you go?”

Caramel shook her head briefly. "I have no idea but I’m leaving as soon as possible.”

Grey regarded her for a moment. "You don't even know where you are going. And you want to leave

quickly?"

Caramel looked at Grey." I’m sorry Grey but this is the only thing I can think of."

It was vividly clear that Caramel was scared of him as Hercules. She didn't even believe that he could

protect her. Ok, he understood what she was trying to explain.

Wasn't it the reason why she stopped talking to Alex?

Caramel and Alex were best friends until the revelation. And now, she doesn’t even want to have

anything to do with him. He initially thought it was because he was the son of the family that killed her

mother.

But now that Grey thought about it, he realised what that really is. Caramel was running away. She

doesn't want to have anything to do with anything mafia.

Leo couldn’t stop thinking about it all. Well, something was staring right at him in the face. Grey doesn't

like him. Well, it looked like that was an understatement. Grey hated him and he didn't want to have

anything to do with him. That would explain the reason why he wasn't allowed on the ship.

And it pained him dearly. Though, he knew that he deserved it. How could he explain his betrayal? Just

what can his reasons be?

But he could at least do the last thing. He could let everyone know what had happened that night. But

that was really difficult.

Leo heard the door open and he got up. Were they back already?

Actually, Leo didn't know how long he got before he would be kicked out. Grey was against him in the

first place. He was still in the house because of Alfred. He might have to plan something out very fast.

But making decisions has always been his weakness.

Imagine, he couldn't even reconcile with his son because of it. Charles hates him so much now. He

wouldn’t even talk to him.

Leo didn’t hear anyone come inside which was strange. He did hear the door open or could it have

been his ears playing tricks on him?

He walked to the door and placed his ears against the door. He heard no movement. He sighed and

turned to walk back to the bed. Something broke from outside, alerting Leo again.

It showed that someone was really in the house.

Leo opened the door and stepped out. Perhaps it was Alfred but he felt strange about it.

Or maybe it was because he thought Giovanni might be looking for him. And well, he might find him.

There were no security guards in the house. Anything could happen to him.

He hesitated as three figures walked out of the darkness and stopped in front of him.
