SECRETLY THE BILLIONAIRE BOSS BY DEBBIE CHOCOLATE - Season 3 Episode 53

Grey blinked once, then twice. Confused and shocked was an understatement. Grey was

flabbergasted. He remembered how much he went through during their marriage. How Avery tampered

with his dignity and ego.

It was weird that she could be confessing her feelings at that moment.

“And no!” She said quickly. “I’m not telling you to come back. I just had to tell you this, I mean before I

leave,” she let out a sigh and looked up at Grey. “I regret everything that I’ve done to you. In fact, I

regret how our relationship came to be. I’m sorry for trusting Chris over you. I’m sorry for letting you go

through all you did. I hope you can. forgive me.”

Grey nodded once. “It’s ok. I forgave you already, a long time ago but if that’s why you want to leave,

you shouldn’t. Isn’t your life here?”

“I don’t think so, Grey. Nothing is going well for me at this point. I feel like a loser and I need to start

something to feel alive again,” she explained.

Grey stared at her, as he didn’t know what to respond with.

“Our marriage would have been the perfect one but it started with lies. I really love you but destiny gave

us a joke. It would have been the best marriage ever,” she cracked laughter that was filled with sorrow.

Grey regarded her for a moment. Well, she knew how much it cost her for her grandfather to find them

the way he did. And to now discovered it was Smith that set them up. Somehow, it felt like it wasn’t her

fault.

“Well, we can restart,” he said suddenly, even when he didn’t expect it. Caramel was still there and he

wouldn’t deny the fact that he truly loved Caramel. But he didn’t want Avery to be sad as well. If this

would make her happy, he would gladly do it.

Avery faked a smile, somehow glad by Grey’s utterance. She didn’t expect it even though a tiny part of

her wanted that to happen. It was so comforting to her that Grey didn’t hate her after all.

“I thought you hated me already,” she forced the words out but they came out with tears. “I thought you

would say nasty things to me. I’m sorry but being like this but__,” she was cut off as Grey pulled her

into a bear hug.

He stroked her back slightly. “It’s ok, Avery. This isn’t really your fault. It’s all your family’s fault,” he

muttered.

Avery sobbed quietly. “But it’s still my fault. I shouldn’t have treated you the way I did. I shouldn’t have

taken it all on you. I’m really sorry,” she felt happiness surge through her at her confession. She felt

lightheaded and electricity run through her at Grey’s touch on her body. If they weren’t outside, she

might actually give in to lust.

“It’s ok,” Grey pulled back after a while. What do you want to do now? Will you love for us to go back?”

Avery nodded briefly. “Yes but it’s too late,

Grey. I’ve lost everything and I have to work hard to get them back, that is if I can still get them back,”

she expressed.

Grey nodded briefly. “Actually, I have someone else I love, even though I’ve always liked the bond we

shared. We shared the same room, and stayed in the same house for months.”

Avery felt a lump appear in her throat at the revelation. She guessed it as well. It was normal anyways

that Grey loved someone else with all she had made her go through.

Yet, it was heartbreaking.

“Is she someone I know?” She asked softly.

Grey nodded once. “Yes, it’s Caramel.”

Avery looked away quickly and tried to suppress a tear. “It’s ok. I don’t plan on staying anyways. My

mind is made up but,” she hesitated as she looked up at him. “Can you do me a favor? A last one?”

“Yes, what’s it?”

Avery hesitated again. “Kiss me.”

Another shock!

While Grey was hesitating, Avery went on her toes and dropped a kiss on his lips. “Bye

Grey, maybe we will see or maybe not, I’m not sure but I want you to take very good care of yourself,”

she didn’t wait for him to say anything when she turned around to leave. She hesitated again as if there

was someone she was looking at.

Grey followed the path of her gaze and found out it was Caramel. It was after a minute that it registered

in his head. Caramel must have caught them kissing.

Avery walked away nevertheless and

Caramel turned around to leave as well.

Grey hurried towards her before she would shut the car’s door.

“Caramel,” he called her slowly but she wouldn’t look at him.

“I’m sorry I came uninvited. I’m leaving already. Please, let me go.” Her voice was shaking.

Grey released an exasperated sigh. How could he handle two women in a day?

“Caramel_,” he started again but Caramel cut in quickly.

“I understand if you are trying to get back with her. I mean you guys were married

before and_,” her voice trailed off. “I’m supposed to be happy at your reunion but__, “she stopped

abruptly as Grey pulled her out of the car suddenly.

Caramel was crying already.

Grey held her by the shoulders so that he could force her to face him.”Caramel, will you listen to me?”

Caramel sobbed quietly. “You don’t need to explain. I’m ok with anything you decide on. I mean I’m

very selfish. Why would I want my friend’s husband? I’m just so incorrigible. I don’t know what came

over me!” She cried the more.

Grey regarded her for a moment. “Avery is leaving the city,” he revealed and forced Caramel to look up

at him.

“What?” She exclaimed softly.

“Yes,” Grey nodded briefly. “She came here to tell me a lot of things. And besides, wasn’t I the one that

asked you out? If I didn’t love you, I wouldn’t have. I do ok?” He assured her.

“And Avery?”

“I will not leave you for her,” he assured again before he pulled her into a hug.

Caramel felt secure and somehow believed his words.
