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

“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 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

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

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

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

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.”

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.

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
