Mrs Lance is sitting in this luxurious room, she can't stop looking around. Never had she been in a place like this. Yes,this is definitely the office of the anonymous trillionaire. She holds both of her hands up and begins to pray to God, so that when the anonymous trillionaire comes, he will listen to everything she has to say. She hears a movement around the door, and she immediately stands up to her feet. She is very sure that it's the anonymous trillionaire coming in, and the moment she sees him, she is going to throw herself to the ground and start to beg for his help. The door opens by a crack, and she almost projects her body to the ground, but she immediately stops herself when she sees that it's not the world richest man, but her son, Gray. “Oh, Christ, what are you doing here?” She sighs. “What are YOU doing here?” Gray frowns at her. “This doesn't look like you have come to visit your highschool friend. Why did you lie to me? What are you even looking for in this p

Mrs Lance feels like her dear son is telling her a joke, but he has the most serious look on his face. “Haha! How funny, Gray! You think because I am old, I am going to be able to believe everything?” She laughs. “How are you the richest man in the world? How am I supposed to believe it?” “You don't have to, mum.” Gray says. “Just know that you don't have to worry about me having a better job, because everyone in this building is on my payroll.” Her smile disappears and her heart jumps immediately. What if he is not lying?She gets closer to him, staring into his eyes, but she doesn't see an iota of lie in them. “Oh my God!” She holds her hands over her mouth. “Please, Gray, tell you that you are joking.” Gray sighs and rubs his fingers over his forehead. “It's hard to believe, I know, but if you remember how I worked hard, how I studied for multiple degrees at the same time, if you remember how much sleepless nights I have put into this, then you will know that it's not just any

Stacy finds herself shedding tears when her mother-in-law is set to leave. Even though they did not start on the right foot, they have grown very close to each other. She is wiping her tears as she helps her mother-in-law pack her clothes into her only suitcase. “Maybe we should speak to Gray again. I don't want you to leave, I want you to stay here for even a year.”“Stacy, don't be silly. Don't get me wrong, I love staying here with you, but I also love staying alone in my house.” Mrs Lance smiles sweetly at her. “But what happens to me when the time comes for me to give birth? My biological mother is dead, so who is going to hold my hand through the labour?” she wonders. Mrs Lance kisses her cheek. “Don't worry, my daughter. I have trained Gray to be the best husband, and I know that he is going to treat you well. I will come back, if I can, but no matter what, you are going to do great.” Once they are finished, Stacy insists on taking the suitcase downstairs, to where Willi

The news of the Mars reappearing spreads like wildfire, and soon, Westland is filled with talks again. Everyone made peace with the fact that the savior was dead for months, so how is he alive now?! He didn't come back to tell them that he was alive, and that he was going to save them from the enemies, Deholt, instead he seems to have become their friend! Different theories start to fly around, everyone tries to come up with rational explanations for this. “The Mars must have become corrupt. That's why he is taking side with the enemies.” “Maybe the government betrayed him. That's why he has chosen to work with Deholt.” And there are the others that think that the country of Westland is doomed. If the Mars is going to support Deholt, then Westland is going to lose this war…Stacy has been spending so much time in front of the television, her eyebrows pulled in worry. Gray notices this, so he switches off the television and sits in front of her. “Is everything okay, my love?”

When the black van comes to pick Gray from his house, he is not even fazed at all. Stacy's heart starts racing as soon as she sees those men in full black regalia standing in front of her house. They are asking for Gray, but she won't let him go. “What do you want from my husband?! Leave us alone!” She yells. “Excuse us, ma'am, we don't mean any harm. Your husband just needs to be somewhere and we will bring him back in one piece.” Stacy doesn't believe them, she brags her phone and immediately threatens to call the police on them. Gray immediately holds her hand and calms her down. “Don't worry, Stacy, I will be fine.” “No, they look like very shady people!” She shakes her head. “I will call the police immediately!” Gray smiles at her. “Don't worry yourself, okay? I am more than capable of taking care of myself. I will be back by evening.” Stacy doesn't want him to go, but since he has assured her that he is going to be fine, she has no other chance to let him go. “Please

Mister de Nicola is taken aback by this. He helplessly looks at him knowing that there is nothing he can do about this. They have to obey Gray, or else they will be kicked out of the secret society. They can't be kicked out. They might be the biggest Mafia family in the country, but this society has helped them too much for them to leave it. So, he looks at his son and nods his head a little. Mateo frowns greatly. His father must have totally gone insane to think that he will kiss this man's feet. “Did you hear what I say, Mister Mateo?” Gray chuckles. “Don't be silly, time is moving very fast, and many people would gladly take your family's place.” “Please, don't say that, Mister Lance, he is going to do exactly what he has asked.” Mister de Nicola laughs nervously. “Do what he has said, Mateo. Remember what I said about making sacrifices for the family.” He says. “What? No!” Mateo fumes. “I will not kiss those poor feet of his! How can my lips even touch his cheap leather sho

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

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

Gray has a room filled with over twenty people that are to get him ready. They have been sworn to secrecy, and imagine what would happen to them if they ever leak his secret. As soon as he gets into the room, William bows and takes off his jacket. As soon as he is done, Gray gets into his chair and then people start to get him ready immediately. Alice has an earpiece in her ear, and she is moving up and down the room, making sure that everything is perfect. This is a big deal, this is going to be one of Gray's biggest appearances ever, even though his face won't still be revealed….Gray might be sitting in this room now, but his mind is back with his pregnant wife. “Alice, confirm that the special security team has their eyes on my wife.” Gray says. “Yes, sir. They are protecting her from a distance. The only person that has approached her is her cousin, and they just seem to be arguing.” Gray sighs. Yes, it's Wendy, but she isn't harmful enough. She can't hurt Stacy in any mean

Gray thinks that Stacy has suddenly become sick, so he places his hand over her forehead to make sure that her temperature is normal. “What's the matter, Stacy? You looked so white, like you had seen a ghost. What's the matter? Are you ill?” Stacy forces a smile on her face. She can't allow a dress to ruin her mood and that of Gray. What kind of selfish wife would she be to do that? “Nothing, Gray, you shouldn't worry. I'm just a little lightheaded because I stood up for too long.” She smiles, lying to him. Gray knows that it's not true, but he just smiles and pretends to believe her. He is going to be very vigilant, and he is going to make sure that she is fine. He keeps her eyes on her. The program kicks off immediately, two very popular celebrities take the stand and start to introduce people. Alice appears out of nowhere, even Stacy is surprised to see her. She smiles at Stacy, and even gives her a hug. “Oh my God, Stacy, your dress is very gorgeous! Look at how big your

Stacy is very excited. Mister Devonté announced that she was going to be wearing one of his wonderful designs today, so many of the paparazzi are waiting outside the gala just to take pictures of her dress. She is nervous, but she is also very excited. Her career as a model has been so much more than she ever expected. Gray notices how much worried she is about how the night would go for her, so he reaches and takes her hand. “Everything will be fine, my love.” “So much is going on today,” she inhales deeply. “Can you believe that we are also going to see the anonymous trillionaire today?” He just smiles at her. He also has a surprise for her at the gala, but he is not going to tell her yet. Why ruin the excitement? He gently raises his hand to her belly and gives it a gentle rub. She is growing day by day, and soon, she is going to put to bed. Gray can't wait for that day. He plans to tell Stacy the entire truth as soon as he gives birth, and also, he wants to cleanse Westlan

Wendy is satisfied with the image of herself that she sees in the mirror. She is wearing one of the dresses that she conned out of Stacy. She has her mother-in-law jewelry, but she is not going to put it on, not until they have gotten into the limousine. She loves her dress, she loves the sharp yellow and red color. She would look like a flame in front of everyone today, she loves it so very much!As for Mateo, she delivered a very expensive suit for him, surprising him. He asked where she got the money, but she waved off and told him not to worry.The truth is that she use the last of her money– down to the last dime– and she got him the suit. It provoked tears to her eyes, but she knows that it's a very worthy investment. If everything goes well as she has planned, then they will get many business opportunities, and might even get to speak to the anonymous trillionaire. That means that they will quickly become very rich again…A knock comes on the bathroom door, and she sighs bec

The delivery man doesn't know why he is being invited into the house, but he enters anyway. He wants to see if this mansion looks as good as it is on the outside. The women were talking, but they immediately become silent when they see the huge bouquet that was being brought into the house in front of them. They couldn't help but gasp. They are simple women, who are all in their late thirties, or early forties. They probably went to only highschool, before being trained into becoming simple housewives. Their husbands are moderately rich, and Iike to live very quiet lives. They barely see such displays of love like this. Their husbands would buy them bouquets of flowers like this, they would consider this to be a total waste of money! The delivery man walks up to them with a respectful smile on his face. “Good day, ladies. I hope you are having a wonderful afternoon?” He looks around. “I am here for Mrs Lance, her husband just asked me to deliver these flowers to her.” Wendy smi

“Now, take my bags and leave them somewhere safe. Also find something for our guests to drink.” Wendy instructs her. “Don't try anything funny, okay? I'm not joking with you.” She pushes her bags into Stacy's hand, and she walks to join the women. In a minute, they are laughing like they have been friends for decades. Stacy wishes that she didn't have anxiety, then maybe she would be the one laughing with the neighbors, but alas. She wishes that she can open her mouth and tell the women that she is the real Mrs Lance, but her lips won't aid her. She just sighs and puts the bags away, before going back into the kitchen and coming back with nine cups of fresh orange juice that she prepared herself. When she gets there, she serves the women and then Wendy snatches the last glass off the tray. “Ladies, this is my cousin, Stacy.” Wendy puts her hand on Stacy's shoulder. “She is staying with me because she is unmarried and now pregnant. Our family is mad at her, so I was the only one

Wendy blink rapidly, and she shakes her head. This has got to be fake, this is not real enough for her. She takes out her phone to search for a picture of the Mars with his mask. She finds once and when she zooms in and pays attention to the details, she finds out that the hunch was right. This is the same mask in the picture, it even has a scratch from the picture. Her hands starts to shake, she can't believe what she is holding in her hand. What blows her mind the most is where did they get it from? The Mars is a very secretive man, so secretive that he has been in the army for five years and no one has been able to track him, or provide a picture of him without a mask. So, why is this here? She knows that Gray worked with the Mars for a brief time, but with all that has happened, she is not sure if there is any logical reason why the mask should be here. She hears some noise coming from behind her, so she throws the mask back into the box, puts the lid back on, and then move

All the dresses are so beautiful, so how is she only supposed to pick four? Stacy is such a selfish person! “Oh, look, a black diamond handbag!” Stacy greedily snatches the bag from the shelf. “Oh, no, that's my favorite bag! You can't have that!” Stacy shakes her head as she quickly takes it from Wendy. Wendy snarls as she snatches the bag back. “Well, who said anything about taking the bag? I only want to have a close look at it, just relax.”She runs her hand over the bag, and she feels the expensiveness of the bag. Oh Lord, she would have killed to have a bag like this, but her stupid cousin has it without a struggle? Argh! Since she can't take the bag, she decides to do the next best thing– take a couple of pictures with it. If she can't flaunt it in real life, she is going to flaunt it on the Internet. She is going to take a few pictures of it, and then all her fans are going to think that she is very rich, like she was before the de Nicolas lost everything…But she is too

When Stacy opens the door, Wendy peeks through and twists her head left and right, she has to make sure that Gray is not in the house. Since their last clash, she has been avoiding him. “Please, tell me that your husband is not at home.” “No, he is not. Why are you asking such a weird question?” Wendy heaves as she gets into the house, tucking some hair behind her ear.“You should feel very honored to donate to my charity.” Wendy smiles. “You will be in God's good book too.” Stacy doesn't sound so convinced by her sweet words. “Okay? So, what's the name of your charity?” Wendy scratches her head, she didn't think of a befitting name for her charity organization. “Pretty dresses,” she shrugs. “It's not the name that counts, it's the thought behind it.” Wendy is so excited that she leads the way into the bedroom, and she heads straight to the closet. When she pushes the slide door, her eyes widen with joy. This is her dream closet. She can't believe that her poor cousin is hav
