Her heart jumps with excitement as she rushes to the house and starts to arrange the house. Gray hardly spoke about his mother and she didn't want to push him, so she respected that.Now that his mother is coming, she is very excited to build a relationship with her mother-in-law. She doesn't have a mother, so maybe this woman will be the mother figure that she desperately longs for. She prepares a whole turkey and even gets a fresh bottle of wine. She is sitting down in front of the house in fresh clothes, making sure that everything is in place. Then she hears the knock, she almost trips herself as she runs to the door. When she opens the door, her breath is immediately seized. Before her is an older and female version of Gray, and she is so beautiful too! “G– Good afternoon, Mrs Lance.” She shudders. Mrs Lance's face breaks

“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 too scared to attempt to cook again after Gray's mother rubbishes her effort like that. She instead used the card that Gray gave her, and she ordered food for both of them. She knocks on Mrs Lance's door and runs away before she can come out. This went on for three days because Stacy doesn't know what else to do. She wakes up early in the morning to clean the house, so that when Mrs Lance finally wakes up, Stacy can withdraw to the safety of her room. On the phone, she tells a total lie to her husband. God forbid that she would be the wedge that would push their relationship even farther apart. “Your mother, oh, she is fine!” She laughs over the phone. “We have been having so much fun, and we are getting to know each other.” “Are you sure, Stacy? Please don't try to cover anything. If she has been mean to you, tell me and I will talk to her.” Gray encourages her, but Stacy stubbornly refuses. “Please, don't even bother yourself, my dear husband. Make sure you do your

Years ago, Mrs Lance met Wendy just one day before Gray and Wendy were to get married. She fell in love with Wendy, and she was proud because the Blanchard family was one of the most influential years ago. Wendy likes her too, but Mrs Lance was falling over herself to please her rich daughter-in-law and this makes Wendy start to be appalled by her. She took advantage of this. Mrs Lance would never see Wendy be able to do anything wrong, she believes and trusts her more than she does even Gray…Stacy watches from the corner as Wendy and Mrs Lance hug very tightly. “I can't believe this!” She holds Wendy's face. “Look how beautiful you are.” “Mrs Lance, I'm so glad to see you too.” Went grins. “I can't believe that my son was foolish enough to divorce you!” She shakes her head sadly. “What a gem he has lost.” Wendy heaves too, pretending to be sad about the divorce that she pushed so hard for. “Mrs Lance, I'm sorry but I was too heartbroken to tell you about the divorce. It was

Stacy doesn't know what to do, she just stands there and stares in astonishment. Mrs Lance almost bursts out at the sight of the gift, she hugs Wendy and covers her face in kisses. “I knew that you have always been the daughter I never had!” She wipes her eyes. “Look at how nice you are treating me! And look! My favourite cookies are even here!” Stacy feels a painful tear leave her eye. All her effort to win over her mother-in-law has gone into the bin. Mrs Lance turns to her with spite. “Did you see what she just did, Stacy? That's how one is supposed to treat their mother-in-law. You should learn, you are very hard to like, Stacy. Very hard.” Stacy bows her head and apologizes. She is not a weakling, she is just trying to be as respectful to her mother as possible. “Please, excuse us, Mrs Lance. Stacy borrowed something from me, and I need her to show me where she hid it.” Wendy smiles. She pulls Stacy by her hand and takes her all the way to the bedroom. She shuts the door

Stacy is not comfortable with this at all. She has seen that Mrs Lance has joined the band to hate her, so why should she go to dinner with them? She goes to knock on Mrs Lance's door and gives it a gentle knock before getting into the room. Mrs Lance is already putting make up in her face, she is all set for the dinner. “Oh, Mrs Lance, I wanted to tell you that I don't want to attend the dinner tonight because I have some things to do. If it's alright, I can drive you there alone, and even bring you back home when you are ready…” The glare on Mrs Lance's face makes her swallow the rest of her words. “Are you being serious right now?! Do you know that Wendy is a top model and has brought out time to have dinner and you want to turn her down?! How dare you?!” “Mrs Lance, it's not like that–” “In as much as I know that you are going to ruin the fun, you dare not turn down this invitation!” She warns her. “Get your clothes ready and we are leaving in ten minutes!” Stacy's heart

Hearing that, Stacy almost bursts out with tears over their ill treatment, but she holds herself. She smiles and hands the menu back to the waiter. He goes away and returns with very tantalizing food that she has seen in a long time…Stacy has come to hate her own cooking over the past days. It's not like she is a bad chef, no, it's because of her pregnancy and the oddness of her hormones. Her cooking is excellent, but her tongue can't accept the taste of the food, so she has suffered since she can't eat as much as she wants, since she can't eat as much as she wants. But, she would have totally wanted to eat the food that her cousin and mother-in-law are having right now. Too bad they won't allow her to have it.She silently keeps her head down and sip her water…“Look how beautiful you look. You have grown so much since I saw you at the wedding,” Mrs Lance chuckles. “Yes, Mrs Lance, that was a long time ago.” Wendy nods with a smile on her face. Mrs Lance pulls closer to Wendy

Stacy feels her heart racing in her chest. She doesn't know what comes over her, she dashes to Mrs Stacy and applies pressure on the wound. “I need an ambulance, please! Somebody, help me!” She screams. Everyone around her is shocked. Too shocked to even react to the situation and help her. Stacy's eyes get filled with tears, time is precious, she doesn't want to lose her mother-in-law. She turns to Wendy, who is staring at Mrs Lance with shock on her face. “Wendy, I know that you are shocked, but we need to act fast. You heard her, you have to call the ambulance now, or we are going to lose her.” She did not expect Wendy to roll her eyes and pick up her purse. “I don't like blood, I'm out of here.” Stacy's jaw drops to the ground. “Wendy, are you being serious right now?! She adores you to a fault and you are acting like this with her? She is going to die!” “So, what? She is an old woman, she doesn't need to live anymore. Take her to the morgue or something. Then call Gray to

Worry is not what's on Gray's mind right now. Instead he gently walks out of the room and to his office. He needs to get his laptop. He takes out his phone and gives a call to Alice Yashin. He knows that it's very late at night, but he needs something from her. Like he expected, she picks up immediately. “Hello, sir. Is everything okay? Is Stacy and the baby fine?” “Yeah, they are both sleeping. I just need you to send some files to me.” He says to her. She is quiet from uncertainty at the other end. “But, sir, you are a new father and you are not supposed to be working. Just tell me what to do, and I will handle it.” She says. She is being very generous, but he won't allow that. They have worked so hard for months to see that his mission is fulfilled, and now he is going to handle this one by himself. “Don't worry about it, Alice, I just need you to do one single thing for me. Send all the files we have on the Hyena to me immediately.” “The Hyena, sir? But the man is dead.”

On the fifth of July, a day that will forever be remembered as the day that Gray Lance took over the country, but also as the day that his first child was born. “... The commander in chief of our country has just welcomed a baby girl, Amanda Marie Lance. Congratulations to the people of Westland…” Gray is sitting on the couch, as his eyes watch the almost mute television, where the report of the birth of his daughter has just been broadcasted…She is in his hands, so small and delicate, and she is the most perfect thing in the entire world. He hasn't taken his eyes off her, he is even too scared to breathe too loud. Stacy is totally exhausted, even though the birth was fortunately very short for her. She is lying in the bed, having a deep sleep.Gray is going to forever worship the ground that his wife walks on from this day forward.

William is explaining everything to her, but she doesn't understand what is going on yet.Why should she be the one to deliver the speech, when she was just helping the anonymous trillionaire's wife? She opens her mouth with a small gap, but no words can come out. Everyone is kindly smiling at her, the way people would look at their savior…She sighs and presses her hand against her forehead. “But, I can't deliver the speech? I'm not the Mars' wife, that's not even possible.” William smiles at her. “Oh, Stacy. You have no idea how possible anything can be.” That's when it strikes her with a heavy beating of her chest. No,no,no. “Gray is the Mars?” She whispers, almost to herself. William looks so proud, he nods slowly. “But…” she stops. Gray is the Mars!! Gray is the anonymous trillionaire! She has been married to the richest man in the world the whole time, and she didn't even know that. This is big news to her, and in front of so many people. She would need like a month to

Stacy is very surprised to see her Aunt, but she is even more surprised to see her Auntie kneeling in front of her and begging for mercy. “Please, I was blinded by the devil!” She cries. “I didn't know that you were going to turn out so great. Remember that I gave you a roof over your head and fed you for years. Please have pity on your old and wrinkled auntie. The truth is that Wendy and Mateo told their family that Gray and Stacy are not ordinary people, but the richest and most powerful couple in the country. Mr and Mrs de Nicola believe it very easily because they got their house back. They were happy and satisfied, even though they didn't get everything they had before, and they made sure to stop by the Gray corporation headquarters to thank him. Mrs Blanchard did not believe it at all. “Are you trying to tell me that the disgraceful son-in-law of the family is so rich? Please, spare me that nonsense!” Wendy continued to try to get her mother to change her mind, but her moth

President Brody is dead and now, the Mars is going to take over as the president of the country by virtue of being the most competent General. No one is even opposed to this, and everyone is very happy. General Micheal retires happily, after everything, he is sure that he will now live a happy and peaceful life. Everyone is preparing for July fifth, for it's going to be the day that the Mars, who everyone now knows is General Gray Lance, will be sworn in. Hundreds of representatives of good countries come to form firm allies with the new leader of Westland, and everyone is so happy because July fifth is just a day away….There is only one person who doesn't know what exactly is going on, and that's Stacy. She read on the news that the wicked president has finally been killed by the Mars, and she is very happy because the country will know peace now. There is just one thing that she doesn't know, and that is that her husband was the one who killed the president. She didn't watch

No one, except Brody, knows that this man is the anonymous trillionaire, but as soon as they see the fear in Brody's eyes, they immediately know. Brody fired up to three shots and none of them hit this man. He drops his gun in fright and starts to back into the wall. “You are not human!” He shivers. “You are not human, you fucking bastard!” He tries to find something to shield himself because from the look in Gray's eyes, he knows that he is about to be killed. He throws a chair in Gray's direction, but when he sees that doesn't work, he grabs the almost frightened newscaster lady and uses her as a human shield. She shrieks and he immediately slaps his hand over her mouth. “Shut up! If you come any closer to me, I am going to shoot her, you hear me!” Everyone is shaken, they don't want to lose another of their colleagues. They expect that the Mars would throw away his gun and negotiate with the crazy man, but that's not what happens. Gray casually checks his gun to see if it's

Once Brody had said the single line that he had rehearsed, he expected for the professionals to take over. Yes, even though he has just barged into the place, shot a bunch of people, and traumatized the hell out of them, he expects for them to still be very professional and come up with the best questions. He sighs with anger when he sees that the newscasters are just holding on to each other like scared chickens, and trying their hardest not to make eye contact with him. “Now, listen to me, you two fools,” he picks up the gun again. “I didn't go through all that trouble for you two to be fucking dumb, so you better get your shit together, or I am going to blow your fucking brains all over the place.” The lady shuts her eyes as more tears pours out. She is sobbing, she has to press her hands over her mouth to keep the sound out. The man has to summon courage, else they are going to be dead, so he whispers to his colleague and pushes her to the side. He takes out his handkerchief
302
Brody feels like he has been caught up in a crossroad, the only man that would have been able to help him turns out to be the enemy himself. He watched the official announcement, now the whole world knows the truth about what has happened. He doesn't have anywhere else to go, he doesn't have anything to use to save himself. He still has a few tens of supporters, they are afraid to come out and say so because they fear Mars and also the judgement from their friends and families. Some of them have cut off contact with him, and this breaks his heart even more. He can't flee the country too, because he knows that he is going to be caught at the airport, or as soon as he approaches any border.Brody knows that surrendering won't work, not after the many things that he and his family did. So, what will he do now? He decides to go on live TV and say his mind. Brody is surely a master manipulator and he knows that if he plays his cards right, he will gather the gullible lots among the W

Surely, the Mars/anonymous trillionaire is a very smart man, because he has managed to keep his identity for so long, even though he has two different sides. No wonder he has been so devoted to their country! If he can turn his company into a trillion dollar one, then they can trust him with the country and they are sure that he is going to do a very good job with it. Stacy is one of the people that are blown away by this news. She sits down in front of the television in her room, as she watches a newscaster compare an image of the Mars and the anonymous trillionaire. “...now if you look at both pictures very closely, you will see that they are both equal in height. Don't miss the broad shoulders, or the mighty biceps that seem to be spilling out of his shirt….” Stacy scoffs. “Is this now a thirst trap? This is a very serious matter!” Wend
