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
After the meeting, Alice is so happy that she is playing music in the car as she drives Gray back to his estate. This is the happiest day of her life. She loves how much Gray has changed her life! Shs is driving the car with a big smile on her face. “My mother wants to invite you for dinner at our place. 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? I need to purchase something quickly,” he instructs her. She crooks one of her eyebrow in a
Another employee walks into the place. He has short blonde hair and he is wearing a white packet shirt and black pants. A dressing code for the junior workers. He looks smart in his work clothes, but he looks so tired that his eyes look that they are sinking into his face. He is just nineteen years of age. Freshly out of highschool and he is just trying to make a living to support his sickly mother. So, that's why he hasn't quit in this shitty place if work. That's why he swallows all the bullying that his seniors serve him on a daily basis. He puts on the best smile on his tired face and starts to walk to Alice and Gray. “Good morning, ma'am, sir, he greets. “Welcome to Grand motors. Can I know what kind of car you are seeking to buy, so that I can know what to show you.” Alice is standing behind Gray, her hands folded over each other.She thinks that Gray is here just to purchase a car for himself , but she is very wrong. “Young man, do you have a Rolls Royce La Rose Noire?”
Alice frowns when she hears the man said that they can't afford to buy the car. The other woman said that they are wasting her time and she left! Gray doesn't say anything, he is not disturbed with the embarrassing way this people are treating him. The boy, the young teenager salesman, he picks up the key and walks up to them. “Sorry for my boss, he is just tired. Come, I will show you the car!” He takes them upstairs to where the car is displayed on the another floor. The car is kept separate from the rest. It's a beautiful red car and sparkles in the white lights. Alice draws breath, because she seems to be finding it difficult to breathe in front of such a beautiful car. Tommy is smiling too. This is one of his most favorite cars in the world.“Isn't she beautiful?” He chuckles. “She is a masterpiece of design and engineering. It will interest you to know that this case is so expensive and precious, only a few has been made.” Gray turns around, observing the car too. Alice
”General Mars, your position has been revoked!” the president boldly declares. This causes all the soldiers to turn white with shock and look around at each other. Has the president of the country gone mad? How does he want to sack the most feared general in the entire military?! General Mars is seated very calmly, he has not lost the smile on his face when the president has his shocking declaration. “Oh, Mr. President. After I have single handedly ended this war, that's when you want to revoke my position? Do you even have a reason for that?” General Mars chuckles. “Yes, General Mars, you are after all a corrupted fellow!” The president drops a heavy file on the table. “You have been accused of bribery, corruption in the military, organizing private guarding services, and betrayal of your country!” Everyone looks around with their jaws on the ground. How dare anyone accuse the General of corruption?! “I have shown you mercy by not throwing you into prison for your wrongs! You s
The Silverview airport is full to the brim. It's the busiest airport in the busy city of silver view. Movement had been restricted because of the war and it's now that the airport has been reopened to the public. As the people wait for their flights to be called, they gather around the television as the newscaster has the latest news on the war that has been raging for a while. “Information reaching us from the military says that the war has come to an end and the country of Westland remains victorious against the enemies…” The loud roars of victory push against the walls as people hug, shake and jump together to celebrate this great victory. “....Thanks to no other than the country's super soldier, popularly known as ‘Mars’, for his impressive skills. He is the hero of the war, but sources say that Mars has been missing since the day he bravely saved the country. Mars is presumed to be dead….” The celebration dies down and now with a gloomy look on their faces, people start to t
Nevertheless, Gray is going to give his wife the benefit of the doubt. Wasn't she crying when he had to leave the city and go back to the army? They were just freshly married, barely a year. She was worried about what he would eat and how he would survive in the harsh weather of the war zone. She didn't know that he is the mars! The greatest soldier the country has ever had… surely she still loves him, she might just be in a bad mood and that's why she sounded pissed off on the phone. He grabs his walking stick and checks his old wallet. He has a few coins left, surely it will be enough to take him to the restaurant..He manages to stop another taxi to take him to the restaurant to meet his wife. When he gets to the flashy restaurant in the heart of the city, he feels intimidated. He can't see, but he can hear the expensive cars drive past him. This is the elite part of the city. He manages to go to the door and after the security makes sure that he truly is here to meet someone,
Gray thinks that this is a joke. It has to be because that's the only way he can make sense of his wife handing him divorce papers after meeting him after years. His jaw is on the ground, but she sighs with impatience as she pushes it towards him. “Are you stupid as well as blind? Take it!” She orders. “Wendy, what's this?” He wonders, feeling around for it. “Divorce papers, you dummy! I don't know what I was doing with you in the first place. How did I fall for a loser like you?” She hiss. Gray is dumbfounded because he didn't used to be this broke. He was worth a few hundred thousand dollars and he spent all his money on Wendy, but now that she is seeing him in such a terrible state, she has forgotten all the good things he has done for her? Wendy looks around and adjusts her glasses. Oh God, don't allow any of her friends to be here, or worst still, her new rich boyfriend, Mateo. Immediately after Gary left for the army, she was scouted into a modeling agency that shot her i
