Chapter 365: Fueled
Grey walked inside the living room and hesitated as he watched Caramel who was the only one in the
room. Alfred seemed to have gone somewhere.
Caramel was in deep thought and didn't notice that Grey was inside.
"Caramel?" Grey called softly.
Caramel went into a sudden shock at the sound of her name. She turned around slowly and her eyes
went wide with shock at the sight of him. She stood up slowly as her body shivered.
Grey smiled softly and spread out his hands as a means to beckon her closer.
Caramel rushed into his arms. "I'm so sorry, I really am. I didn't mean to do that to you."
Grey stroked her back slowly. "It's ok. Everything is going to be fine."
Caramel pulled back slowly and looked at him. "You don't hate me? You don't hate me for trying to kill
you?"
Grey shook his head briefly and wiped the tears off her face. "I don't. I will never hate you. Besides, you
will never hurt me. It was because you lost your memory," he explained on her behalf.
Caramel hugged him even tighter, still sobbing quietly. Her heart felt very heavy and her head was
reeling.
Grey felt a surge of happiness slipped into him once again. Caramel was eventually back with him.
Though, he had a lot to ask her, especially about the baby but there was going to be time for it. He just
wanted to enjoy the moment while it lasted. At least, there would be no poisoning anymore.

Grey looked back, his arm still around Caramel as if he was scared of leaving her. "Seriously?"
Alfredo nodded once." Yes. And when he gets here, we will be able to go on with our interrogation.
Caramel has told me what she knows."
Grey pulled Caramel apart to look at her. "Is Beatrice really dead?"
Caramel couldn't talk as the words were stuck in her throat. Instead, she nodded her head briefly as
she burst into another round of sobs.
Grey felt the pain deep down in her heart. It felt like thousands of nails were thrust into him. He patted
Caramel as she cried the more against his chest, dampening his shirt.
He gently led her to the chair and pulled her into a close hug while Caramel continued to sob. "It's ok,
darling," he whispered as he continued to stroke her back.
There was a sudden knock on the door. It opened almost immediately and a man walked inside. "Boss,
the men have arrived," he announced.
"Let them in," Alfred ordered.
The man bowed slightly and walked out.
Alfred looked at Grey. "That's definitely Richard," he informed him.
Grey nodded briefly. "I need to find out what really happened."
The door opened after some minutes and two men walked inside while pulling a man who was
blindfolded.
They stopped in front of Grey and Alfred. "We've brought Richard," one of them announced and
dropped Richard on the floor with a loud slam.
"Put off the blindfold," Grey ordered and the man complied. Grey looked at Caramel. "Look up,
Caramel, and identify him."
Caramel sniffed back tears and looked up. She stared at Richard for a moment and slowly nodded. "He
was the one that kidnapped me. You got him!" she admitted.
Grey nodded briefly and looked at Richard. "Do you know where you are?"
Richard looked at Grey for a moment with a squeezed expression. "No, I don't. I should be the one
asking you that question. Where did you bring me? And-," he looked at Caramel. "And I don't know that
lady! I don't know what she told you but I don't know her."
Grey smirked. "You don't know her?" Richard nodded briefly.
"Do you have his phone?" Alfred demanded.
One of the men nodded briefly and stretched out the phone. "We were able to stop him from smashing
it on the floor."
Alfred took the phone. "Great."
"Now, I will tell you who I am because I want fast answers to my question. I have no time for
nonsense," Grey stated. "I am Hercules."
Richard jerked back in shock. "Y-you are H-Hercules?" He looked at Caramel and saw how close she
sat with Grey. His heart made a sudden thud in his chest.
"Yes, and I'm also Grey. Who do you work for?"
Richard swallowed harder. "I don't work for anyone."

"I thought you don't remember anything? What are you saying?" Richard yelled at Caramel. "I'm sorry,
can you just let me go?"
Grey stood. "I'm going to ask you a question soon. When you delay me or try to act smart, a finger of
yours will be cut off," he threatened and looked up at the men standing behind Richard. "Get me a
knife. He would see that I'm not joking."
One of the men rushed inside.
"I will tell you everything you want. And yes, I work for Seth. He's the one that sent me all these
messages." He revealed.
Grey gathered his forehead for a moment as if he didn't hear it right. "What did you just say?"
"Seth. Actually, we heard about the multi-million dollar deal from Protos Pubblicita. Seth needed money
to run his new company and your deal was the only way out. And we heard that Grey was the
supervisor. Though, Seth thinks you are both Grey and Hercules."
Grey remembered vividly what had transpired between them a long time ago before he left the city. He
must have linked the parts together.
"Continue," he ordered.
"So-so," Richard stammered as the other guy walked inside with a knife in hand. Richard looked up at
him and fear took all over him. He looked at Grey again. "He wanted us to kidnap Caramel and
threaten you to award us the contract. But we needed to find out if what he thinks about you is true. But
she lost her memory in the process, while we were beating her," he explained.
Grey felt a stab of annoyance as he rushed forward and grabbed Richard. He pulled him up and
punched his face.
"How dare you lay your hands on her!" He yelled in a thick voice, anger fueling his action.
