Chapter 439: Unawares
Vincenzo looked at Maximo with shock. He didn't expect to see him at all. He didn't even know that he
was aware of all he was doing.
"What are you doing here?" His anxiousness showed in his voice.
Maximo was filled with rage. "I should be asking you that question!" He yelled. "What are you doing
here?"
The men that were fighting with Grey, stopped and stepped backward.
"Maximo, this is totally not yours to interfere with. I have to teach him a great lesson," Vincenzo
explained.
Maximo huffed, feeling irritated. "Seriously? Do you even know who he is? How dare you do that to
him?” He yelled again, his nostril flaring around. He looked over at the men. "Lead Grey to the car,” he
ordered.
The men moved forward, pushing Vincenzo's men in the process.
Vincenzo clenched his fist with anger. Maximo was really messing with him and he didn't like it.
Though, Maximo was someone he didn’t want to mess with. They had both agreed to go their separate
ways. One was never to interfere with the other business. But Maximo was currently passing that
boundary.
"Stop!” Vincenzo screamed suddenly. He was fueled with rage. He turned to look at Maximo again. "If
you don't stop right now, I will have my men stop you if you don't," he warned.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMaximo chuckled. "Seriously? Are you trying to threaten me?"
Vincenzo smiled softly. "See it as anything but that's what I'm going to do. He's not leaving here until he
gets punished."
Maximo scoffed. "Escort Grey to the car," he ordered again.
"Stop them!" Vincenzo said quickly.
The men started fighting each other. One jumped over to kick Grey but Maximo met him halfway and
kicked him away.
Maximo looked at Grey. "Let’s leave."
Grey shook his head briefly. "Vincenzo has Aphrodite," he informed him.
Maximo’s eyes went wide for a moment before he focused them on Vincenzo again. "Get Vincenzo!"
He yelled out the order.
The fight continued for a moment while Maximo and Grey watched. But Maximo's men were
outnumbered. They quickly overpowered Vincenzo's men. In no time, two of Maximo's caught Vincenzo
and started to pull him closer to Maximo. 1
"Let me go! What the fuck are you doing? Do you even know who I am?" He struggled with the men as
he was being pulled violently.
He was forced to a sudden stop in front of Maximo.
"Do you know who I am?" Vincenzo yelled at him. "How dare you do this to me? Do you know what my
father would do to you? Do you even remember who my father is?"
Maximo hit him across the face. "Shut the fuck up!" He yelled at him. “Who do you think you are talking
to?" He yelled. "Do you think I'm asking you? Do you think I need your opinion?"
Vincenzo went mute and instead glared hard at Maximo.
"You had better answer my questions before I do the worst thing to you! Where is Aphrodite?"
Vincenzo didn't reply and instead continued to look at Maximo.
"Do you think I’m joking with you?" He yelled. "I will ask you again. Your head will go with it if you don't
reply to me! Where is she?"
Vincenzo released a sigh." She's safe actually. I hid her in one of the rooms in the hotel,” he revealed.
Maximo stared hard at him. 'Tell two of your men to drive us over before I get even angrier!"
Vincenzo nodded at his men. Two of them moved closer and took a short bow.
Maximo took a step closer to him. "Let this be the last time you will try this nonsense with me! Your
head will be off the day you do."
The men let go of Vincenzo and led Maximo and Grey to the car.
A car from Vincenzo's side drove out into the street while Maximo's cars followed behind.
Maximo turned to look at Grey. "I'm so sorry for everything. I wasn't careful, that's why shit like this
happened to you. I hope you will find it in your heart to forgive me," he beseeched softly.
Grey nodded once. "It's ok but I won't forgive Vincenzo if this shit happens again, especially if he tried
to lay his hands on Aphrodite. I really won't."
Maximo nodded once. "I will handle him, don't you worry. Leonardo is going to handle everything, you
wouldn't need to worry about anything," he assured.
Grey nodded once, in acceptance.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe car leading soon pulled to a sudden stop at a popular hotel and the two men got down.
Grey and Maximo got down as well. They followed the men inside the hotel. They entered the elevator
and went to the last floor.
One of the men moved closer and unlocked the door with a card. Grey rushed inside and indeed saw
Aphrodite on the bed. But she wasn't moving.
Grey rushed to her and checked her pulse. He released a sigh when he saw that she was breathing
well.
He turned to one of Vincenzo's men suddenly, anger seeping out of him." What did you do to her? Why
is she like this?"
The man looked away in fear.
Grey took him by the collar. "Answer me or I will kill you, this instance!" He yelled.
'We drugged her. Actually, it could have been an overdose but the doctor said she will be fine. It would
only take some days before she wakes," she revealed.
"Do you need help?" Maximo asked suddenly. He was standing behind Grey and looking down at
Aphrodite.
"No, I'm fine," Grey muttered. He took Aphrodite off the bed and scooped her into his arms. He walked
out of the room and Maximo followed after.
Grey placed Aphrodite in one of the cars and looked at Maximo. "You will have to lend me this car. I will
have one of my men return it," he promised.
Maximo nodded his approval. "It's ok."
Grey stared at Aphrodite again and pulled back the rebellious hair on her face. "Have your doctor come
to my house for a check-up. I don't believe what that guy just said. I will have to make sure she's fine!
And if I find out that something is wrong with her, Vincenzo will die."
