Grey is back

Meeting... Mariana Wills

..Grey POV

“Thank you so much .”I said as she came towards me . I felt so devastated and even did not know what do say to her any more when she offered me a cup of coffee.

I am one person who wants a coffee each night but I did not know if was even going to be able to take the coffee. Rain moved and came sat next to where I was . She raised her hand and gave me a little assurance squeeze .

“It is okay , I know we are definitely going to be okay .” she whispered but loud enough for me to hear .

“I Just don’t have any idea how I am going to over come this .” I said with a matter of fact tone . I meant it .

“He was almost a dad to me .” she added.

“I know, I am practically a son to him.” I spoke without even thinking straight .

“And the only heir here .” she said .

“WHAT!” I said out surprised.

THREE DAYS LATER.

Finally , everything had been cleared. Fargon had been buried and I made sure that everything that he asked in his will was fulfilled. The mansion looked a bit different from the usual one . I had cut the staff by a half .

I knew it was not the best thing to do but at the time being I knew it was what was the best until I was fully settled and determined everything of running the mansion and all the businesses. My heart was racing more at the thought that I was finally going to meet the lawyers .

These were some of the things that Fragon had not told me at all . But every time I recalled everything Mariana had made me go through together with her family , I knew I had to stop the being kind of emotional and act as the determined person that Fragon had turned me into .

I doubted if he would ever be happy seeing me turning into the loser that I was once . The loser who had even reached prison but some miraculously survived.

I went into the shower briefly . By the time I finished, Rain had already set everything of mine at the bed. I did not have time to explores the clothes that had been set for me. It was a well-tailored suit black in color.

I stared at myself in the mirror one last night .Deep down in me , it was Grey Robinson but the out human was Ben Fargon the new personality that I was to take forever .

“You look so smart.” Rain said flashing her a smile. I replied with a weak smile . I did not want to disappoint her this time round.

“Thank you so much .” I replied. Rain came nearer to me and put my collar right before moving away from me.I stared at my self in the mirror one more time so anxious of even getting out of the bedroom.

“I will be getting out .” She said getting out . I stayed backwards trying to get all the courage that I needed. I kept telling myself that I was going to be able to finish this .

I moved out of the bedroom finding so many guards already waiting for me at the door way . They did not say anything to me but rather some moved before while others moved ahead of me . However there seemed to be so much noise coming from down stairs .

“A Your welcome party has been organized for you .” one of them muttered in an unfriendly tone of voice .

“Welcome party?” I asked surprised.

“Yes , boss.” another one said . This time I did not ask any more questions . It was clear that they were going to just keep me security other than answer the many questions that I had .

I mean this was not supposed to be the arrangement initially . I could not tell who was responsible for changing all this.

“Oh , Mr. Ben Fargon, I am so happy to see you.” It was Fargon’s lawyer . I had been introduced to him on Zoom the other day .

“Am so sorry for the loss of your father .” he added offering me a quick handshake .

“Thank you so much , Mr Miles .”I said .

“Any way we have organized this party to fully welcome you back from abroad.”Mr Miles said .

“I am making sure that whatever Fargon said has to be done .” he added and a waiter came offering us glassed of wine . I took a sip my mind roaming away to a particular scenario but I let it be . I did not think it was the right time to bring that back .

I just sipped my glass of wine as I talked to a few people at the party . I had been able to read about the majority of them and therefore I knew exactly what to reply to them with .

A few women were of course throwing themselves onto me but I was ensuring that I put them off but in a very friendly manner . With the mission that I had to complete I knew that one thing that I had to avoid was to get attached to any woman in a way of having a relationship with.

The moment I sipped the fourth glass of the day down , my eyes landed one some one familiar . I looked away a bit telling myself that it was just my wild imagination but not right .

Out of curiosity , my eyes went again to the same direction . This time it was very clear . I had not made a mistake, it was true. Fragments of memories started resurfacing in my mind . They were like puzzles being put together and making out something very perfect .

I could clearly recall all the incidents that happened during that time. How I had been robbed of everything by her cunning self together with all her family members . As if that was not enough, she had even gone to an extra mile of wanting to kill me .

How was this even possible . What the hell was Mariana Wills doing at this party . What was her connection with Fargon if I was to ask ? I felt my blood boiling as I felt like I needed to rip her skin off at the moment .

Perhaps that was the only thing that could help me stop the boiling anger and hatred that I had towards him . I tried to counsel myself that what I was thinking at the moment was not the right thing but I could not help myself.

I got the next glass one wine that I saw and started to move towards the person that I hated with all my life. So many evil things were going through my head that I wanted to do to her . Some how, she was able to look in my direction and our eyes meet .

I had not taken any time all the time that I had known her to be staring at each other for this long. I could at this moment see that it contained that wicked shade that was not easy for someone to just notice it unless if you took time to look at her very well.

The more I closed the distance between us was the more I felt my nerves almost boiling but I had to ensure that I remained calm , I was finally standing in front of my ex-wife .She smiled ear to ear looking at me . I disgusted her with all my life.
