Gray Lance: Useless Son-in-law Is The Billionaire General 135
“I know that this is a surprise to you, you are asking yourself, who are these people and why have they ask me to come to them?” Mister de Nicola asks.”Do not be afraid. You have been given the highest honour now, an admission into the secret society.” “What?!” “That ring, that signet on your left hand, do you know what it means?” Gray looks at the ring on his finger. He barely paid any attention to it. “I've had this ring for a few weeks now. What does it mean? Is the ring for something else other than adornment for my finger?” “Mister Lance, that ring belonged to your late grandfather in-law, Theodore Blanchard.” he says. “He belonged to our secret society, and because you are now with his ring, and that you are his grandson inlaw, you are now to take his place.” Gray snickers with laughter, he claps his hands and leans over with laughter. He is waiting for them to laugh too, and say that this is a prank, but they don't. Gray knows a lot of things, but he didn't know of this
Gray Lance: Useless Son-in-law Is The Billionaire General 136
Gray looks down with a gentle smile on his face. “Is this a joke? You know that I earned this signet! I paid good money at the auction for it.” “And all of that doesn't matter now, does it? Because at the end of the day, you don't know how to use this kind of power in that thing. Mateo can do a better job and if you have any sense in your head, you will give up that ring without a fight.” But Gray already knows that's not going to happen. This society will reveal more secrets to him, and he knows that he can use that to bring down the corrupted army. He doesn't care if a spoiled brat wants the ring, he is not giving it to them. So he exhales and folds his hands. “You know what, Mister de Nicola? That's going to be a hard pass for me. I like this secret society, and I am going to give them a positive answer in two days’ time.” He says. This doesn't please Mister de Nicola at all, his face turns red and contorts with rage. “Do you know who you are talking to, son? I'm de Nicola!

General Landon Hayes was unsure of the address when he stepped out of the taxi, but now that he is standing in front of the house and a man pointing a gun at him? He takes a fighting stance and draws his own gun and aims it at William. “Who are you?” Landon asks him. “You don't get to ask me any question, man. Walk away before I blow your brains all over the floor!” “Hey, I don't want any trouble. I'm here to see Gray Lance and if this is the wrong house, I am going to leave.” Hearing him saying that he has come to see Gray makes William to cock his gun and curse under his breath. “What do you want from Mister Lance?” William yells. “Speak now before I kill you, motherfucker!” The commotion causes Stacy and Gray to rush to the door. Immediately Gray sighs the gun, he pushes Stacy back into the house. She screams and curls herself under a table. She has never been so close to a gun in her life. Gray goes to see what's happening, but immediately he sees that it's Landon, he sig

The army was where Gray turned into the killer machine that he is but it also gave him his best friend, Landon Hayes. They met on their first day in the army and even argued on the line. They were bunked in the same room, and reluctantly, they became friends. They were under different Generals, but were excellent soldiers in their own ways. They were the only ones who could match each other's energy in combat. Even when Gray became a very powerful member of the army and took up the secret identity of the Mars, Landon was one of the people who knew who he was. Sadly, Landon has to leave back to Deholt, but they keep in touch with each other now. Landon is a good General, but he lacks when it comes to war and to training soldiers…Gray closes the door after Landon and then both of them sit down in his office. “You got divorced?” Landon is in awe. “She said I was too poor for her liking,” Gray shrugs. Landon laughs. “That's a joke, right? You didn't tell her that you're literall

As soon as Stacy hears that Gray is going to be leaving the country again, she immediately bursts out and bends over crying. Gray is stunned by this, he has never seen his wife cry like a little girl like this. He picks her up from the ground and cradles her in his hands. “Please don't cry, Stacy, I wouldn't have done it if it's not necessary.” He says. “I know, I know,” she wipes her tears. “It's fine, don't mind my tears. I just don't want to be alone. I will be lonely and cry myself to sleep at night.” “I know, Stacy, it hurts me to leave you, but I will return almost immediately. It's only going to be for a few days, I promise.” He says. She nods her head, trying her hardest to smile and pretend that everything is fine, but even she doesn't understand why she won't stop crying. She has no idea that it's just her hormones that are all over the place. She is sad that her husband is going to be away, but her pregnancy hormones make her exaggerate everything. She doesn't know

“I heard that he was fired from the military. So, who does he work for now that owns this huge house?” She asks. “The anonymous trillionaire, ma'am.” Stacy answers respectfully. Mrs Lance's jaw immediately drops to the ground. “Excuse me?! You are trying to tell me that my son works for the richest man in the world?!” “Yes, ma'am.” Stacy smiles. “And the anonymous trillionaire has been nothing but good to us. He allowed us to live in his house and also gave us his stuff to use…” “What work does Gray do?!” She cuts her off. Stacy's smile leaves her face once again. Oh, she wishes that Gray waited, so he could have spoken to his mother about all of this…“Mrs Lance, it's a little complicated…” “It's actually not, Stacy. What work does your husband do for the anonymous trillionaire? He manages his finances? Or is he his personal bodyguard?” “He is the anonymous trillionaire's errand boy.” Stacy reluctantly lets out the words roll out of her mouth. Mrs Lance's breath gets cut in h

Stacy is thrown into confusion. How is it that Wendy's mood has changed in what seems like the snap of fingers? Wendy rushes to her and even gives her a kiss on the cheek. “When I was supposed to have a chief bridesmaid, I was wondering who can I trust enough to be by my side on my special day, and I didn't have to think too much, because you came to my mind.” Wendy laughs. “When I told my friends, they got jealous and told me that you were not to be trusted. I told them I was going to prove them wrong by testing you, and you have passed!” “What?” Stacy squints. What kind of test is this? It doesn't make sense. “I'm so happy, Stacy, you have no idea!” Wendy smiles. “Wait, you really want me to be your Chief bridesmaid?” Stacy whispers in surprise. “Yes! Yes! Yes! You are the perfect person in the world, and you have no idea!” “So, you don't want me to break my legs for my mother-in-law?” “What? No, silly girl!” Wendy slaps her over the arm in a playful manner. “How can I even

Stacy is horrified by what she just heard. Her hand flies to her chest in shock. She waits for Wendy to laugh and say it's just a joke, but Wendy is as serious as a heart attack. Stacy tries her hardest, but she can't stop the tears from flowing out. Does her cousin hate her this much? Her cousin hates her to the point that she is asking her to break her legs just because she hates her to the point that she doesn't want her to be the chief bridesmaid. Wendy 's eyes get filled with tears, and she can't help but laugh. “Stacy, why do you look so horrified?” Wendy chuckles. “Maybe because you have just proven to me just how much you hate me.” Stacy heaves. “You just asked me to break my leg, just so that your mother-in-law won't force you to make me your chief bridesmaid.” “Come on, Stacy, that's not what I said. And point of correction, I want both of your legs to be broken because she might not take this very seriously if you break only one of your legs.” Wendy says. “It's going

Seeing her husband being pulled into that van traumatized Stacy to the extent that she thought she would lose her baby. Gray came back at midnight that day and he didn't even say anything to her. He just assured her that he was fine, he kissed her on the lips, and they went to bed. She couldn't sleep a wink that night. What if that man comes back and takes her husband away, what's she supposed to do then?She doesn't say a word to him, even when the morning comes. She pretends to be a cheerful wife and even stood by the door as he drove away with William. Once he is gone, she goes into the bedroom and starts through the closet that they share. Gray barely has anything in there. About two pairs of shoes, change of clothes, that's it. No paperwork, no IDs, no baby pictures, nothing. It suddenly dawns on her that she barely knew Gray. Yes, he used to be her cousin's husband and he is like the most perfect husband in the world, but what does she know about him? Her thoughts are su

Wendy inner feels sour in her mouth. She is absolutely disgusted that her mother-in-law would even suggest that Stacy be her chief bridesmaid. That will even ruin the whole wedding! She doesn't show her disgust on her face, instead she pouts and tilts her head to the side and sits next to Mrs de Nicola. “Oh, I didn't know about any tradition like this.” she sighs. “Maybe Mateo forgot to tell me, because I called my best friend, Clarence already. Maybe I can be exempted from the rule.” “Don't worry, Mrs de Nicola, Clarence comes from a very good family and she is even prettier than Stacy. Stacy is the ugliest in our family.” Mrs Blanchard laughs. Mrs de Nicola is taken aback by this. “Oh, Wendy, I didn't expect this from you! Are you trying to disregard our family tradition, even before you get into the family?” Wendy immediately laughs and shakes her head. “Oh, mum, don't look at me like that! It was just a joke, you know that I hold the de Nicola family traditions very dearly t

“This is our in-law, Mrs de Nicola.” He introduces. “Pleased to meet you, ma'am. I'm Dan's wife and I can't wait for the wedding–” She would have continued, but Dan gives her a sharp look with his eyes, and she is immediately forced to swallow the rest of her words. “Go into the kitchen and prepare something nice for our beautiful guest.” “Oh, don't bother.” Mrs de Nicola smiles. “I won't be staying too long, as I have a function to attend.” “Don't worry, Mrs de Nicola. She cooks at the speed of light. You can't leave our house without us treating you to a feast!” “Yes, Mrs de Nicola. Don't worry, I will make you the tastiest food in the shortest time.” Dan's wife bows and rushes to the kitchen. She won't even be helped by the servants. They don't wait on her, only on Dan, Mrs Blanchard, and Wendy….Wendy sits at the feet of her mother-in-law and she leans against her leg. She is pretending to be the sweetest person on earth. Mrs de Nicola points at the boxes that she brought

Wendy is getting married! She has been engaged for a while now, and now she is officially going to become Mrs de Nicola. Oh, she is so happy that she has sank her teeth deep into Mateo and she was able to hang on with all her will and strength.Mateo has been so terrible to her, he had so many concubines, he hit her so many times too, but she doesn't care. All of that won't matter when she is officially married into the de Nicola family. Mrs Blanchard falls on the ground and rolls as she cries her heart out. “So, you mean that I can finally brag to my friends that my daughter is married to Mateo de Nicola?!” She cries. “God has finally rewarded me!” “Oh, mum, you haven't seen the jewelry that Mrs de Nicola, my mother-in-law bought for me. I am going to be the most expensive bride in the world!” Wendy rejoices. “All my fake friends will burst with envy!” Mrs Blanchard boasts. “They will surely cry on their way home when they experience the wedding that my daughter is going to

After the meeting, everyone starts to head back to their homes because it's almost midnight. Even though Gray is the Chairman of this secret society, he is still the least richest and doesn't have a car. Many of them drive off without offering him a ride, but Gray doesn't mind. He puts his hands into his pocket and walks down the dark street. Mateo is the only one left and he smirks when he sees Gray walking by the road. He wanted to zoom off with pride, but he suddenly changes his mind. He slows the car down and looks out of the window, at Gray. “Mister Lance, do you need a ride?” Mateo asks. Gray glances at him. “Do not worry yourself. I'm sure that I will soon come across a taxi.” “You must be dreaming, Gray.” Mateo laughs. “It's midnight and people are too scared to come to this area because this has been the hotspot for robbers. You either come into my car, or you get stabbed by thugs looking for who to rob.” Gray is not afraid of whichever thug he might see, since he c

It's very funny that Gray is standing right in front of the people that just suggested that they have a manhunt for him. They are absolutely going to lose their minds if he opens his mouth and tells them the truth of who he is. They might actually pass out from the shock…This is not the right time, so he pushes it away from him and shakes his head. “Yeah, we are not going to be doing that. Our role in this society is to protect our own interest, and that means that the Mars and his grievance with the government doesn't concern us.” “What?!” The men look at each other. “Gray, Chairman Gray, you don't know what you are talking about.” Mateo shakes his head. “Do you know how beneficial this is going to be for us to get this man for the president? We are going to be rewarded with so many good contracts!” “I am trying to save your lives. If the Mars is known for one thing, it's the fact that he is the most dangerous soldier in the world. If you are coming for him, you think your secu
