Gray Lance: Useless Son-in-law Is The Billionaire General 210
“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. She thought he was going to ask her to do something silly, like dance naked for him, to ease the pain. But this is even worse than dancing naked. Why does he want her to do such a thing for him? 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
Gray Lance: Useless Son-in-law Is The Billionaire General 211
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

Stacy screams and shuts her eyes, hoping that this is nothing but a bad dream, but that doesn't work. She feels one of the armed men place his hand around her wrist and she opens her eyes, screaming frantically. At this point, the other girls wake up too and start to scream. The driver opens the door of the car and runs away, leaving the girls to their fate. Wendy is the only one who isn't screaming, in fact she is smiling. Stacy wonders what's going on, and why her cousin is so unbothered. “It's okay, girls, they aren't here for us. They are here for her.” Wendy whispers to the girls. The men look at the girls, studying their face as if they are looking for a specific person. “Who is Stacy Lance here?” Stacy shuts her mouth immediately. How do these scary men even know her name? She keeps her mouth shut, she hopes that the girls keep quiet too. Her first thought is that these men are kidnappers, but why would they want to kidnap her? She and Gray are barely getting by, so

Stacy is able to get her phone and as soon as she touches it, she dials Gray's number. She should have stood her ground with Wendy, she shouldn't have agreed to come to this cursed place…The phone rings for a while, but Gray picks up very quickly. “Hello, my love. I thought that you have gone to bed already? That's why I didn't call.” “Gray, I'm very sorry,” she sniffs. “There is a man with a gun here and… and he is threatening to shoot me if I don't tell him the name of the Mars. I told him that I don't know…” The man snatches the phone from her immediately. “Listen here, disgraced soldier. If you don't give me the information I want, I will blow your wife's brain all over the ground!” Stacy shuts her eyes and cries silently. Is this how she is going to die? Pregnant and as a hostage? Wendy laughs at the other side, she doesn't look bothered, not even a bit, even when her cousin is being held at gunpoint. “What's your name?” Gray asks calmly. “Yes, the one who has a gun point

The man dies right in front of them and Gray immediately gets back to Stacy, who has her jaw on the ground. She knows that her husband was once a soldier, but she has never seen him act like this before. He wipes his hands with a handkerchief, but that doesn't take all the blood out of his hands. He goes back to Stacy, goes down on his knee to touch her, but she winces. This breaks Gray's heart. He'd admit, he snapped and killed that man, but that's because he just found out that his wife is pregnant and the man almost cost her the pregnancy. “I'm sorry,” he whispers to her. “Come, I've got to take you out of here.” He picks her up from the ground, bridal style. “We will be home in an hour or two.” He looks at the remaining men, who are trying their hardest to run away from him. He would have dealt with them, but he has something more important to attend to right now. His pregnant wife…Wendy and the other girls take a few steps back once they see what he did. They are now all

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

Alice is running around in her high heels. This is a nightmare, this is a freaking bad dream! The president is coming to see the anonymous trillionaire uninvited, and he has refused to be turned away! She has less than thirty minutes to get everyone ready, not just to receive the president of the country of Westland, but also an impromptu visit from the anonymous trillionaire. Calls, preparing refreshments, it's almost too much for her that when she takes a turn to the left, she bumps into someone and almost loses her balance. Thank God the person is quick enough to catch her. It's William, thank God he came back as soon as he delivered the message to Gray. “Are you okay?” William asks her. “I'm not, he is mad at me.” She pushes her hair away from her face. “I don't think he has ever been this angry with me.” She holds her hand over her face, and he feels pity for her. “Do you need me to do anything?” He asks. “I can help, you know. I'm not just good at shooting guns.” She s

Stacy suddenly loses what is left of her appetite as she sees the gory images on the television. She doesn't know when she drops her plate of breakfast and starts to rush to the bathroom to throw up. She is bent over the toilet bowl, and pouring the contents of her stomach out. She feels like she is going to die, but then she feels some gentle fingers going through her hair, and rubbing her back while she throws up. She opens her weak eyes to see that it's Gray. She is so weak, but she manages to press her face into his shirt after wiping her mouth with the back of her hand. She is so tired. He strokes her hair as he flushed the toilet. “I told you to stop watching the news, Stacy.” He mutters. “I told you that there is nothing good on the news nowadays.” “I just… I didn't know that the Mars would kill the Generals like that in the airport. It's a horrible sight.” She shakes her head. “I know that they are evil people, but I can't help but feel sorry for them.” Gray sighs and h

All the Generals of Westland are dead, throwing the president into a fit of rage and sorrow. He calls for a press briefing and for ten minutes straight, the whole nation watches as the president cries his heart out on live national TV. How can he not cry like a kid that dropped their ice cream in a park? He just lost the leaders of his army! He blows his nose into his handkerchief and shakes his head when one of his assistants offers him to quit and do this on a later date. “No, the world needs to know what the Mars has been doing! It's safe to say that the masked man has turned into a terrorist!” He yells into the microphone. “Do you all hear me? Your hero has turned into a terrorist! He killed the Generals of the army like they were nothing, and what does that tell you people? That this country is under attack!” The journalists look at each other, before leaning forward even more. “Mister president, can you speak about the news that the Generals were found with questionable
