Gray Lance: Useless Son-in-law Is The Billionaire General 199
Mateo immediately pulls the car to the side. If the president of the county is calling him, then it must be a big issue – especially with what happened. As soon as he stops the car, he takes the phone off speaker and places it against his ear. “Mister Mateo de Nicola, can you hear me?” “Yes, Mister president, it's such an honor to speak with you.” “I'm going to cut to the chase, Mister de Nicola, there is a plane waiting for you to come to me right now, as I have something very important to discuss with you.” Mateo breathes in deeply, he can't believe that the president wants to speak to him, and immediately! He will have to cancel the meetings that he will have today, and his father won't like that very much. He is on thin ice with his father right now…“Mister de Nicola, you are very quiet. Is this something that you cannot honour right now? Even though it's the president that is asking something of you?” “Mister president, it's not like that…” “Ah, I understand. Your father

Mateo looks down with a stiff feeling in his chest. Is this the work of God? Does this mean that God wants him to kill the Mars?! Yes! This is the confirmation that he needs! The president takes this to be fear and he shakes his head. “Don't tell me that I am mistaken, Mister de Nicola. I really thought that you are the person for this job. Are you thinking of getting your father's approval before you take up this job?” Mateo exhales. “Mister president, with due respect, I am a grown married man, and my father is not my boss. I agree with you, the Mars needs to be brought to book, and not even my father can stop that.” The president smiles, he needs someone with this level of hate. That kind of hate would drive him hard enough to get the job done. “Now I am sure that I have gotten a real man to handle the job.” He nods. “Everyone else has been so scared that some of them turned white as soon as I even suggested that the Mars needs to die. What's the fear about? He is an arrogan

Mateo goes to a meeting with his father three days later. The meeting is at the house where all the under bosses are going to meet with the great Mister de Nicola. It's a simple party, and the outside of the house is filled with cars of different sizes, mostly black. Many men are standing by the cars, guarding the vehicles of their bosses. Mateo gets out of his car and gets through the gates. His ears pick the sound of a live band playing some foreign music, and many people are dancing. This is not one of those fancy parties, this is a simple family gathering that is normally held once in a year. Since the de Nicola family hired many of their extended family members to work for the Mafia, this is like a family gathering. Mateo looks at all the people dancing, and he sighs under his breath. He grabs himself a bottle of beer, and then he goes to sit at the back, in a corner where no one would see him. He is not successful because his mother comes to him, smiling with a plate fil

Mateo cannot believe this! Is this a prank, or a sick joke?! He looks around as everyone cheers and claps for his cousin! He angrily stands up, ready to burn everything to the ground, but his mother pulls his arm with tears in her eyes. “It's okay, my son. Please, don't do anything you are going to regret, it's going to be okay.” She begs. “Okay?!” He barks. “He just gave my entire inheritance to that bastard! I have always known that this was going to happen! I have always known that father would treat that bastard better than me, like I didn't come out of his fucking loins!” Mateo is still boiling, but it then dawns on him with a cold chill, that his mother is not nearly as shocked as he is! “You knew!” He accuses her. “You knew that this was going to happen and you didn't even have the decency to tell me! You are just like him! Both of you chose that son of a bitch over me!” His mother grasps his hand as the tears pour even more from her face. “I know, I am a wicked mother

“Yeah, you're right.” Mateo looks down at his hand, hesitating for a while, but giving in and shaking him. “Congratulations on stealing what's mine.” Mateo hiss. “Mateo, stop it.” His father warns. “Seriously, father? That's what you want to tell me?! To stop after you betrayed me?!” Both of the de Nicola parents look at each other. “Let's talk in the sitting room, please. All of us.”They manage to walk into the sitting room without attracting any attention to themselves. It's empty, so Mrs de Nicola locks the door to keep it that way. “Mateo, look, your father and I talked about this, and we think this is what's best. James knows this business more than you do, and so, he will lead it while you are second in command.” “Second in command?!” Mateo snorts as he looks at his parents. “What sort of joke is this? What's that? A participation trophy?” “No, Mateo, that's not what it is.” His father says. “What it means is that you get to sit back while your cousin does all the gru

Mateo decided that this couldn't have happened at a better time. He wanted to tell his parents about his new job, but the president has done that for him. His family doesn't seem to think that it's a good ideal, but he doesn't even care at all. So what? It's not like they even care for him. Didn't they give his rightful inheritance to his cousin? “Mateo, this is the worst idea I have ever heard in my life!” His father shakes his head. “Are you crazy, Mateo? Who is the wicked person that has stricken you with madness? Do you know what the Mars can do?” “Yes, Mateo, this is not a good idea. The Mars is a very dangerous man, and if he finds out that you are trying to work against him, he might deal greatly with you.” Mateo steps back and points at all of them. “None of you know half of what I am capable of.” “Mateo–” “The president contacted me because I am the best man for the job, and since you have refused to believe it, I don't care!” James cannot help but shake his head at

Mateo hates his parents right now more than anything, but he can't cut them off. Thirty percent is a whole lot of money, and since he grew up rich, he has to keep up with a certain level of wealth. How would he be able to keep up with his lifestyle if he disowns his parents? So, when he is in the bedroom, knotting his tie and he sees James' car drive in, he rolls his eyes. They have to attend a meeting together, and there is nothing else that he can do about it. Wendy is doing yoga in the living room when she squeaks with joy. “Oh my God, James! No one told me that you are coming!” She hugs her husband's cousin. “Mateo can be forgetful sometimes.” James smiles. “I'm sure that's why he forgot to mention me. And hey, sorry for not attending to wedding, I was attending tons of meetings around the globe.” “That's alright, James.” She waves off. “I already know that you are a very busy man. All is forgiven. I can't wait for you to get married and give me a sister!” James doesn't s

Alice thinks very fast, she pulls out a gun and aims it at James in what seems to be a blink of an eye. “Hey!” Gray cautions her. “What are you doing, Alice!” “This man has infiltrated us! He knows who you are, and that's not supposed to happen!” She shouts. James raises his hands and keeps calm, he wants to show that he is not a threat. Alice is very alert and scared, so Gray is forced to take the gun from her. She would have shot James if he had left her. She is very suspicious of the de Nicola family, especially seeing how Mateo has been behaving, she can't believe that anyone would be loyal enough to guard Gray's secret identity, but she is wrong…“Calm down, Alice. This is James and even though he is a member of the de Nicola family, you shouldn't worry about me, because he is not a threat. He is loyal to me.” Alice looks from James to Gray, her chest is heaving up and down. “But sir–” “I served in the army for eighteen months.” James explains. “Yes, I come from the most

“The president has just announced a state of emergency because his daughter has been considered officially missing.” A newscaster says. “It was suspected that Miss Melody Brody sneaked out of the country, so she can't be tracked using her passport. Please, if you have any information about the young lady, the presidency, and the entire Brody family would appreciate it.” Stacy's jaw is on the ground. How can that lady be missing? She remembers when she came here and harassed her and she wished that melody was dead. Did she do this? Did she wish the president's daughter away? Gray comes from the kitchen, dressed formally, all ready for work, but he is holding a cup of tea for her. Stacy smiles, he looks very handsome dressed like that. That's why she got pregnant very fast…“Hey,” he gives her a kiss and drops a special cup of tea in front of her. He has taken it upon himself to work hard everyday and prepare breakfast for her. All she has to do is eat, garden, walk around to exe

Melody cannot believe what she has heard. She looks at the passport again, but it only makes her confusion even worse. “But I don't understand. Why do I need a new identity? I already told you that I am sorry. I will turn a new leaf, just let me go.” Gray only chuckles. “You will go alright. But not just home. As we speak, my team is logging you into the records as Agnes Smith, and even booking a ticket for you to travel to the Bermuda islands.” Melody face screws. The Bermuda islands is one of the poorest countries in the world, so why does Gray want her to travel there? “I don't think my father is going to like that very much,” she mutters. “Why can't you just allow me to come home?” “Because the Bermuda islands are going to be your home from now on. You will be left with just enough money to get you through a week, and then you will have to work to earn a living. It's the poorest country in the world, and that means that you will have to work very hard in the mines to save you

Melody finds herself chuckling, she can't bring herself to believe this. She looks at all of them, and then bursts into an unbearable fit of laughter. “Hahaha! I knew that this was one huge joke! I knew it! How can the richest man in the world also be the freedom fighter of the country?” She laughs. “There is no way that powerful soldier is you. I'm sorry, but I won't allow myself to be stupid enough to believe it. Alice and William are amused by her stupidity. She is too daft to even think right because if she did, she would know that he is telling the truth. How else can the most wanted soldier be mysterious and undetectable to the government? except he has a bastard amount of money to keep himself under the radar of even the government. of course it's only the richest man in the world! “It's alright, Miss Brody, you don't even need to believe. That's not even why we are here. You assaulted my pregnant wife, and she said that she wishes you were dead, and since I love her so

Melody has suddenly lost her voice. She holds her hands over her mouth because she knows that she is done for. She didn't know that she was his wife! She didn't even act like she was the wife of the richest man in the world! “Gray, I'm sorry, I didn't know that she is your wife. She said that she is the wife of the housekeeper, so I got confused – she lied to me.” “Does that give you the audacity to speak to her so rudely and also slap her?! Who do you think you are?!” He shouts in her face. She takes a few steps back in fear. Her desperation has forced her to do something that she is definitely going to regret for the rest of her life…“Look, I didn't mean to cause any trouble for anyone. All I want was to be your wife and I went to see the famous house, but I met this woman and I got jealous that another woman was in your house…” “Except she is my wife and you are an intruder who hasn't been told no in her life!” He blasts her. “You can't blame me! I didn't know, I was ignora

“Get your hands off me, you fool!” Melody hiss. “Do you know who I am? I will destroy your life!” But William is not even bothered at all by her vile words. “Miss Brody, if you don't get into the car immediately, I am going to have to pick you up and throw you in.” “Do you know who I am?! My father is the president of this country, and I'm going to marry the anonymous trillionaire! Do you even realize that you are already dead for even daring to talk to me like that–” William looks to the left and then to the right, he sees that no one is looking at them, he picks her up and throws her into the car. She keeps on yelling and beating at the window. William gets into the car and drives away. He keeps driving, but she keeps on cursing him out. “You know what? I am going to call the head of my security and my father is going to kill you for even daring to touch me!” She yells. She takes out her phone, but William takes the phone from her. “Sit tight and save your strength. This is

Gray stops what he is doing, and he looks at the screen of the phone. “I'm sorry, who did you say is in the house right now?” “Melody Brody! She said she is going to throw us out because she is getting married to the anonymous trillionaire, and she is going to change the house! I can't believe that the anonymous trillionaire would want to marry someone like her…” Gray shuts his eyes and drops his head into his hand.The president left the country yesterday, and even though Melody tried to get in contact with him, Alice refused to give his number to her. He thought that she had left the country, but no, she found his house and is now harassing his wife. Stacy is crying on the other side of the phone, and Gray immediately stands up in anger. “I'm going to take care of this, Stacy. Trust me.”“I don't think you can take care of it, Gray.” She sobs. “The anonymous trillionaire is going to get married to her, and we are going to be fucked. We are going to be homeless! Can you beg the

Stacy's jaw is on the ground. The woman throws her bag on the chair and throws her coat on the ground. “Pick that up!” She orders. She turns around, looking at the house with her finger pressed against her chin. “I don't think I like this colour, we will have to repaint.” Melody mutters. “Excuse me?” Stacy blinks. “Yeah, excuse you.” Melody hiss. “For someone who works for my husband, you are very slow in the head! I said I don't like this colour and we are going to decorate!” Stacy is stunned. She wasn't expecting this at all. Gray didn't call her to tell her that anyone is coming, so she can't be sure. She can't believe that the anonymous trillionaire would want to marry someone like this woman. “Um, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to get you angry, but you have to prove to me that you are really from the anonymous trillionaire. I have to make sure, just for security reasons.” The lady sighs and pulls out her phone. “I can't believe that he would allow a fool like you to stay in

“This is the wildest thing I have ever seen in my life! Gray is cheating on his wife!” Mateo chuckles. “What the fuck is wrong with you? I thought that you were a saint or something!” Gray sighs and runs his hand through his hair. Mateo has totally misunderstood this, but he won't even allow Gray to open his mouth to speak, before he starts to talk again. “I never thought I would find you in a compromising position like this.” He shakes his head. Melody is taken aback. She is not the richest man in the world, she is just the president's daughter, but she won't want anyone to speak to her like this! “Gray, are we listening to the same thing? Are you going to allow this man to speak to you like this?” She scoffs. “You are the richest man in the world and you are going to stand by and watch this?” Mateo almost falls over with laughter. He laughs so hard that he is bent, holding his belly. “Hahaha! That's what he told you? He lied to you that he is the anonymous trillionaire becau

Suddenly, Gray's throat constricts, and he can't even bring the champagne to pass down his throat. That's how angry he is. He has just realized that melody is just as crazy as her father. There is a small chance that she might be a tad crazier…When Melody sees the look of shock on his face, she chuckles with amusement. “Why are you looking at me like that?” “You just suggested that I kill my child.” He mutters. "Or seperate my child from it's mother to give to you. she flips her hair back with nonchalance. “I'm committed like that, and besides, I will give you an even better child. I have a wickedly high IQ, imagine how super your child will be.” They haven't even been twenty minutes into the date and she is doing this? This just shows the kind of person that she is….Gray takes a napkin and wipe the corners of his lips. “Yeah, that's not going to work. I really love my pregnant wife, and she and I are endgame.” “Hm.” Melody looks at him. “You and I are going to get along ver
