Alice presses her horn angrily, but the man won't move. He whistles and points at Alice's chest. “Come on, miss. I will make it worth your while!” He grins. “your number at least, you won't regret it! I have the power to change your life!” “Argh! Why won't you just go away?! I am late for an appointment and I am not interested.” The smile on the man's face is immediately turned to a frown. He can't believe that a woman said no to him very sternly. He hasn't ever been told no in his life! How can this woman reject such a handsome man as he is! He walks up to her window and leans against the car. “Do you even know who you are rejecting?” He asks with a sorry squint and a smile. “I don't know, the fucking king of England?” Alice shrugs with sarcasm. The man laughs as he moves his tongue around in his mouth. “Well, since you seem to have lost your memory, I will tell you who I am. My name is William Fleeton, I am the heir to the Fleeton billionaire company!” He expects Alice to g

William grips the phone a little too tight, he can hear his father struggling to breath at the other end of the phone. The empire that Mister Fleeton spent forty decades to build has fallen because of the foolishness of his son! William snorts at his father's words. He doesn't want to believe that he and his family are now very poor. “Dad, stop panicking, it's not that serious.” he waves off. “How can you say we are not poor? We are billionaires, even God can't make us poor overnight!” “William, you stupid boy! You don't know what you have done!” His father cries. “I have to sell all the cars quickly, before our misfortune spreads and no one will buy them. Otherwise we might not be able to afford breakfast tomorrow!” It's all a dream to William, a very bad dream that he wants to wake up from, but people start to glance at their phones as they walk past him. “It's him, the father is worth only five million now!” “Wasn't he in the club yesterday? Covering the strippers with money?

The satisfied staff gives each other high fives as they have taken care of the crazy rich kid. Gray, Jones, and Alice chuckle as they see William get thrown. Jones helps Alice with her chair, like a true gentleman. She thanks him and they all sit down to order and eat. “I must say, Gray, I was very surprised to hear that you are back in the city.I was very confused when the news said that you were missing and presumed dead. I was relieved to hear from you.” Jones says. “How is your wife, how is your family? I am sure that your wife is so happy to see you,” Gray smiles at him. “Wendy just divorced me. She said that she found a new boyfriend.” Jones' smile goes away immediately. Does Wendy know that she has just divorced the richest man in the city? Jones is one of the few people that knows about Gray being the mars, and also being the richest man in the city. He has kept this secret of his friend very tightly to himself. He knows that Gray single handedly stopped the war, but t

The small end of the quarter party comes up in two days. It's more of a small business party, just between over a hundred people, and Jones makes it small and intimate because of how Gray loves his privacy. Gray and Alice gets to the venue and they are surprised to meet so many people outside, with so many cars parked outside. Since most of the people in attendance are members of the golden club, there are very many expensive cars outside. Jeeps, Lexus, Rolls Royce, Bugatti, Mercedes, name them all. It's like a car showroom here. It's so expensive that Alice's poor car looks like a dump truck. She sighs as she steps out of her old jeep. She has to slam the door very hardly to get it to shut properly, this attracts the attention around them. Gray notices this and smiles at his shy assistant. “Are you okay, Alice?” He asks. “Yes, sir,” she smiles. “Just… I'm just anxious because I am meeting so many rich people.” “You will be fine, you look great.” He compliments her. They are

Hearing that Gray said he will take Alice and her family into the top tier of the golden club, that makes Tori and her friends laugh even more. “Your fellow garbage man thinks that he is powerful enough to put you into the club? You think it's a club for the poorest?” Tori mocks. But Alice is not listening to Tori. Did Gray just say that he is going to put her family into the top tier? He is doing more than she even dared to ask. She can't even hear the hateful word of Tori anymore. “Sir, do you mean it?” She clasps her hand over her mouth. “if my family gets into the top tier, our lives are going to change overnights. My poor parents will become billionaires in a few days!” Gray nods with a chuckle. “Alice, I know, that's why I want them there. You have been very faithful and loyal to me, it's not too much for you.” Alice doesn't know when she bursts into tears and hugs her boss. “Oh, I'm so happy! God will bless you so much, sir! I will serve you for the rest of my days!” Sh

Inside is not as chaotic as outside. The party has started already and gentle music is being played by a small group of violinists in a corner. Smartly dressed waiters are walking around, making sure that all the guests have drinks in their hands and are having a good time. Alice and Gray are handed drinks too and they start to move around. There are less than a hundred people in this meeting. Alice almost feels intimidated by how rich everyone around her is, but the new status of her family gives her the boost she needs. Jones takes the stage and he gently raises the glass to the air, catching the attention of everyone. “Good day, everyone. Thank you for coming to my company's quarterly party.” He says. “This quarter, we have registered more profits than any other time of the year, and that's thanks to you,my partners are associates…” Everyone claps. It's obvious that they all respect Jones. Even though he is young enough to be a son to many of them. “And also today, I am thr

It's in a small town in the middle of nowhere, I told her that you won't be able to come, but she was just so happy and she had to offer,” she chuckles. “I am so happy for your family.” Gray looks out of the window. “And we owe it all to you, sir.” Alice tells him. “My family now have warehouses all over the country and even abroad. You have changed our lives forever.” If there is someone whose life deserves to go turned around for good, it's Alice…As she drives down the road, she wants to make the final turn to the house, but Gray stops her. “Can we turn to the left side of the road?

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. The pain he saw her go through in the labor room told him that women are not mere people, but super beings with great strength.” His daughter makes

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
304
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
