. Wendy sits in the corner, she has been staring at the same picture for almost an hour.She uses her laptop to compare pictures of Gray and pictures of the Mars and the anonymous trillionaire.

Same small freckle on his left hand, she remembers seeing that all the time when they were married. She used to tell him that it looked like he played in the sun too much.

Because he had the opportunity to harshly punish her for everything she did to him and Stacy, but he never did that. Tears fill her eyes, and she sees Mateo sigh from where he is seated and just watching her. “I'm sorry, I should have realized that you were telling the truth sooner.” She wipes her tears. “Yeah, it

That slap caught Gray off guard, he has never considered her to be a violent person. He touches his face with his two fingers, and then he looks up at her. Her left lip is angrily folded in her lips, and her chest is heaving up and down. “That's for staying away for so long and for getting yourself into danger! How dare you play with death so carelessly like that?!” She blasts him. Gray blinks with surprise. She has been a very patient and never complaining wife, but this is the first time that she has shown so much displeasure with him. He is not even thinking about the slap, he deserves it because he had allowed himself to be caught up with saving the country, that he forgot to prioritize time with his pregnant wife. He sighs as he takes a few steps forward, wraps his hands around her neck and kisses her. At that moment all the anger in her goes away. She is happy that she got to yell at him first before he kissed her, because she is sure that she would have forgiven him

Her eyes are heavy with unsaid words and some heavy emotions. “Ladies and gentlemen, I know that I have just announced the death of the first lady, but I'm afraid that is the least of the shocking news that we have heard today.” She says. “Yes, people of Westland, the first lady is not just dead, but their three children have also gone missing.” Her co-host says. “The national security administration has intensified the search for the three kids within the last hours, but she has not been found at all.
