To some extent, he is used to it now, Mateo is one of the rudest people that he has ever met. “Mister de Nicola, I don't understand what you are saying.” Gray says. Mateo angrily hits his hand against the table. “That's it, huh? You are going to pretend that you don't know that you are supposed to be standing behind Miss Yashin, because you are an errand boy and a bodyguard?” Alice angrily leans forward. “Mister Mateo de Nicola, I need you to watch your tongue or else we are going to have a problem. Mister Lance is an expert in these things and that's why the anonymous trillionaire requested that he should be here.” “Prove it!” Mateo slams her. “Excuse me?” “If the anonymous trillionaire rea

When he gets into the conference room, he finds Mateo addressing some of the top officials of the company. “...and don't mind the rumours that are going around. I'm the boss around here, and you will take orders only from me…” Mateo warns them. James bursts into the room without a care in the world. “Mateo, a word.” “Can't you see that I am addressing the workers, or are you trying to tell me that you are my boss now?!” Mateo yells with agitation. Even though he has come at James with so much hostility, James keeps calm. The workers look clueless, it's not everyday that their bosses fight in front of them. “A word, Ma

Wendy is still sunbathing when he gets into the house, she raises her head from the bed, and looks at him with surprise. “Mateo? You are back already?” He ignores her as he limps to the living room. That's as far as he gets before he falls on his knees, cradling his belly. Wendy is in her two piece bikini, she rushes to his side and she gently raises his shirt. “Oh my God, who did this to you?” she gasps. Mateo pushes her away angrily, he tries to stand up to his feet, but he can't. He is too weak. “Mateo, I need to take you to the hospital right now. Did you get into a fight? Was this an accident?” “For the love of God, Wendy, can you

“What? That's a very strange request, why are you asking something like this from me?!” Wendy asks. This is the strangest request that she has ever gotten from her husband.

Mateo knows it's a strange request, but he holds her hand. “Can you or can you not, Wendy? I don't want to waste my time with you, if you are not going to do it.” “You haven't told me why you want to do it.” “Do I need to explain myself always to you? will you or will you not do it?!” Wendy huffs and pulls her hand away from him. She said it! She has always suspected that Mateo was lusting for her cousin. After everything she did for him. She went on a diet to appear slimmer, she even changed the colour of her hair!Yet he loves to look at her cousin?! She cannot believe this! She snatches the purse off the chair

Stacy is very happy today, she has been working for a few weeks now, and she has been very happy. She is not the social media type, but the account that was made for her by Mister Devonté has been growing at a very high speed. He also told her that she is one of the most influential people he has ever worked with, even though she doesn't believe it. She has just modeled some simple high heel shoes for him, even though everyone advised him not to, because she was just a one-time viral sensation, but he refused to believe that. He taught her the basics and allowed her to be creative and she, in turn, trusted Devonté and his team, and the results were splendid. The shoes were sensational, and were sold out in four hours! Stacy runs to Gray's office to find him, when she gets the news. She keeps jumping up and down. “Hey! You will not believe this!” She tells her husband. “The shoes are sold out!” “Really?” Gray looks at the phone in her hand, as she shows him the evidence of the

Stacy steps on the brake so hard that Wendy is thrown forward, almost bashing her head in the process. “Hey, watch it!” “What do you mean we are going to the airport? I didn't plan on that today.” Stacy wonders. “Well, that's the sacrifice that a professional is supposed to make. You would have known that if Mister Devonté didn't give you all these free passes. You would have known if your had worked hard in your career.” Wendy mutters. Stacy takes out her phone and tries to call Mister Devonté. She knows that he is a very organized man, so if he wanted them to go on a trip for a shoot, he would have told her days ago. She is just about to dial his number when Wendy reaches out and snatch the phone out of her hands. “What are you doing, Wendy? I want to call Mister Devonté to confirm it.” “Calm down, Stacy, that's my problem with you. You are always ready to join into conclusions. Fine, I lied, Mister Devonté didn't ask you and I to go for a shoot, I was the one who decide

Stacy feels a sting of tears in her eyes and she almost bursts out crying. “Why are you doing this to me?” Stacy tries very hard to stop herself from crying. Wendy doesn't even have the smallest feeling of empathy for her. “You think your tears are going to fool me? Are they going to bring back my money and effort? If you don't get out of the car right now, I am going to fucking ruin you.” Wendy knows how effective this is, so she grabs her bag and catwalks away. She doesn't even need to look over her shoulder, she knows that Stacy has no other option than to come with her. Stacy drops her head against the steering wheel, she feels a little bit of tears pouring from the corner of her eyes. She can't keep on living like this. She will have to find a way to tell Gray, else this will always be held over her head. She wipes her tears and picks up her phone. She dials Gray's number and leans against the chair with her left hand over her face. The phone barely rings for a few secon

Wendy doesn't want Stacy to escape, that's why she booked a joint room for them. The scene from the window is very beautiful, it's overlooking the ocean and many people are having a good time on the beach. Not Stacy, she sighs as she drops her bag. The door opens and some food is brought in for them. “Wow, look at that.” Wendy says. “I'm giving you the princess treatment and you haven't even said thank you.” Stacy ignores her. She ignores the food too, because she has been feeling very weird lately. That's one of the reasons why she wanted to go to the hospital. Her pregnancy is going well, she is not even showing, her face is not puffy, she is even glowing, but the only down side of her pregnancy is the change of her appetite and eating habit. Gradually, she has been hating all the food in the house and nothing stays in her belly. She throws up many times a day, and this leaves her weak most of the time. Her body tolerates a cup of tea, and a small slice of bread with a littl

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

If there is something worse than being the son-in-law of the Blanchard family, it's being the son-in-law of the president. Gray has no interest in marrying the president's daughter, he is very happy being married to Stacy, and she is pregnant with their first child for Christ’s sake. He is surprised that the president is throwing his daughter like a piece of meat at him, even when he clearly doesn't want her. “Come on, Mister Lance, you are not saying anything. My daughter is very beautiful and she has a nice shape.” “I assume she is, Mister president, but my… partner and I are very committed to each other…” “You are going to change your mind when you see my daughter, I promise you.” The president winks. “If she wasn't my daughter, maybe I would have gotten with her too.” Alice and Gray look at each other, they can't believe what they have heard. “Eleven o'clock, tonight?” The president walks into the elevator. “Um, sir –” “It's a date, then!” The elevator door closes and

This is an entire irony for Gray, that the president is promising to make him the most powerful man in the world. He thinks that it's so ridiculous, that he laughs out loud. The president laughs. “You think that I can't do that, Mister Lance?” “More like why would you want to do that? Being the most powerful man in the world, I would assume that you wanted to keep that position for yourself.” The president throws his head back and laughs. “I am already powerful, Westland is the most powerful nation in the world, and I want you to get to taste my level of power. Being rich and so powerful, do you know how unstoppable you will be?” Gray looks at him with a small smile on his face. “How do I know that I can trust you, mister president? It was just weeks ago that you had a grudge against me because of the award given to me by the world union.” “Ahhh,” the president laughs and waves it off. “That was like a century ago, we are gentlemen and I am sure that we can put our differences

Alice hasn't gotten over the surprise of suddenly seeing him in the meeting room, when he raises a glass and hands it to the president. The president smiles, raises the glass in the air, before drinking out of it. “Such a calm place you have got here.” “Right? Not many people are allowed to make it this far, to this floor. It has all the privacy one can wish for.” “Yes, the entire privacy needed to stay away from that terrorist called the Mars.” The president mutters. Alice suddenly feels her hands stiffens against her side. She looks slowly at Gray, he is taking it better than her. “That's very terrible, I heard what happened.” “Crazy, that's the only word for it.” The president nods. “Half of the people think that I'm being incompetent and scared, but the bastard that won't even dare show his face is the incompetent one!” Gray nods in agreement. He picks up a glass of his own and takes a seat. The president joins him. “That's why I have come here, because I think that you ca
