Chapter 270: Triggers
"What?" Caramel saw his hesitation but was already curious as to what he was going to say. She didn't
know if it had anything to do with the strand of hair that she sent to him instead of the real one.
Or could the one she sent match with whoever Alex was trying to compare it with? That would seriously
mean trouble for Grey and she couldn't wait to alert him.
"Grey has been lying to you a lot, to me."
Caramel huffed. "You lied to him too, remember? At least you didn't tell him you were Giovanni's son."
'Well," he hesitated fora moment. "Do you know it was Grey that actually exposed my identity?"
Caramel stared at him for a moment as the words sank in. "What do you mean?”
"Grey tricked me and made me expose everything to him for the sake of a friend. I thought he was my
friend but instead, he exposed me to the world."
Caramel sat well. "I sincerely don't understand all you are trying to say. What’s your point about Grey
exactly? Because I trust him more than I trust you. Do I even trust you? I doubt that.”
Alex felt hurt for a moment and his face showed a display of emotion but it soon disappeared and
Caramel had to wonder if she really saw anything.
"Grey has been the one impersonating Hercules," Alex dropped the bombshell that left Caramel
dumbstruck for some minutes
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen she finally regained her voice, she couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Are you kidding? Is this
a form of prank? If this is a trick, stop it. I'm not in the mood," she protested in a hatred-filled voice. She
was starting to get irritated. Alex lied to her before and she knew he would do it again.

"You don't believe me?"
Caramel snapped. 'Thank goodness you asked. I'm sure you don’t think I'm dumb to that extent. There
was no fucking way I would believe you."
"Have you seen Grey with Don? The guy that patrols Megaphone Attitude club?"
And her head did a little flash as images appeared in her head. She remembered vividly when she had
issues in Megaphone Attitude Club. Grey had to deal with Don and his men. Though Grey denied
anything and told her that he gave them his salary. Caramel still felt it was a lie as she overheard tiny
pieces of their conversation and it looked as though Don feared Grey. Caramel knew he had a form of
power but she couldn't figure it out and she had to stop searching or probing.
But Wait! Alex said he was impersonating him which means Grey wasn't Hercules.
"How do you know all these? I mean it's not positive. Why will Grey impersonate Hercules? Grey
doesn’t even have any money. He’s a lonely and poor man. Are you jealous of him?"
Alex regarded Caramel for a moment. He got pissed at her words but he pretended otherwise. Well,
some things could be very difficult to believe. And besides, it would Favour Alex so greatly if Caramel
hates Grey. It would give him the chance to move back with her.
"No, Caramel. Listen to me. You might have seen something but you just didn't reason it very well.
Charles is closer to Grey."
"Can't he be? Charles is a senior to Grey at Protos Pubblicita," she defended.
Alex shook his head briefly. 'The reason why I asked you for Grey's strand of hair was so that I could
run a test on it and see if it matches Hercules’ DNA. Well, it didn't but he told me the truth."
Caramel’s heart made a sudden thud. She suddenly didn't know what to believe.
"Jane confirmed it. Grey was just to make the world thinks Hercules still lives when he clearly died ten
years ago."
Caramel was still skeptical. 'That's not possible!" She argued the more.
‘The man that danced with you at the billionaire party was Grey. That was why he was able to fish you
out from the rest of the audience. You didn't wonder how you caught his fancy?"
Caramel couldn't give a direct answer as she kept thinking in her head. She found it strange that day
too.
The way Hercules held her felt like Grey but she didn't want to think abt it because it wasn't possible.
Grey was poor but Hercules was a whole different person.
"Why would Grey impersonate Hercules?"
"I just told you that, Caramel. Hercules is dead. He has every reason to. Charles and Alfred must have
approached him for this. It could be the reason why he's currently doing well financially. Imagine his
company growing so fast."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm‘That!" Caramel said quickly. "Has nothing to do with Hercules!"
"But it won't change the fact!" Alex imputed. "Grey impersonated Hercules for his good and he lied to
you!" His voice raised above normal as if to make her believe it by force.
Caramel shook her head slowly. Why would Grey be doing something like that and she wouldn't know?
He couldn't even tell her anything.
Caramel stood. "No! You are lying!"
"No Caramel. I might have kept things from you but I never lied. I just tried to keep you from finding the
truth but I didn't lie to you. So, why would I start doing so now?”
Caramel couldn't believe it all. "I'm going to interrogate Grey! I'm really going to speak with him.”
"Really?" Alex laughed and stood. "You still have an ounce of trust in Grey but not in me? You can still
wait to speak to Grey but you can't do so with me? We've been together for years, but Grey just came.”
"Don't!" Caramel said quickly, almost choking on her tears. "Don’t compare you two because you are
totally different! And I don't want to continue talking to you!" Caramel finished and hurried inside her
room leaving Alex staring dumbfounded.
She didn't know what to do. Was she supposed to go to Grey's house? Was she supposed to call him?
"Caramel! You should hear me out. I'm not done taking," Alex banged on the door softly and when she
didn't open up, he did. "Don't try to speak with Grey, Caramel because you won’t see him. He’s dead."
Caramel almost stopped breathing. The shock kept her motionless and speechless for a very long time.
