The rude receptionist doesn't know how serious this is, until the soldiers comes into the place and lifts her away! She starts to scream and kick. “Wait! Wait! Please, okay, I will apologize! Please, I will not disrespect him again! I will apologize to the richest man!” The other works looks on wth terror in their eyes. If they had doubted Gray's ownership now, they don't. Alice smiles and waves the rude girl away. “Have fun in the military prison! I am sure you will shake with fear once you hear his name ever again!” Immediately they have taken the receptionist again, Mister Gilbert turns to his colleagues that didn't even know when their boss walked in. “Bow to the big boss immediately!” He roars. Everyone bows their head to the ground. It's such a sight to see. Gray waves his hand off and Mister Gilbert quickly leads them to the elevator. “Let me use this opportunity to officially welcome you, sir! We have been working so hard and expecting you. Sorry for the rude receptio

Alice comes into the corporation with the mindset that she is going to govern with strictness. This is one of the richest businesses in the city and she wants to make it even greater. All of the workers are so sacred of her. She fired over fifty people because she found out that General manager Gilbert hired some people, even though they were very unqualified. She fired them and placed Gilbert on punishment, he has to be the one to get coffee for the entire office for a week. He has to do it because he wants to keep his job, but that makes everyone fear Alice, including him. “Alice is an iron lady!” “She is so beautiful, I would have loved to have a drink with her, but I am so scared of her!” “Did you see her collection of heels? Such a classy lady!” “I liked her perfume, I am just too scared to ask her what the name is!” “She is so beautiful and strict! She is so hot!” “But our profit last week was twenty million dollars. She totally knows what she is doing! The big boss i

There are just five people that have been chosen to work with the president, she is at the top of the list, and it comes with a very heavy bonus. Officer John and the others scoff with jealousy. “You always thought that you were better than all of us, so here is your confirmation now.” Alice holds back the letter. “I never thought that, I just knew. The Mars trained me, of course I'm better than you.” “Whatever, Yashin. Now your all mighty General is dead. Go and be the president's bodyguard.” They are trying to mock her, as if they weren't jealous that Alice got this big position. What they don't know is that she isn't excited for this position. “Tell the army that I reject it!” she says. The soldiers looks at each other with surprise. “Yashin, have you gone mad? People are literally dying for this position!” “Then let them have it.” Alice mutters. God forbid that she works for the same man that tried to kill Gray Lance. She doesn't need their money, she won't protect such a

Alice has to visit Gray in two days. She is so happy that she almost crashed her new car when she drove into his house. When she gets out, she rushes down into his house with a bottle of expensive wine. “Sir! Sir!” She calls as she goes around the house. She finally finds him in the dining section of the house. He is dressed very casually with his sleeves rolled up. There are pictures and papers on the wall, they are joined by red lines and she can tell that he is working very hard to bring his plan to life. “Alice, hi.” He briefly looks at her. “Aren't you supposed to be out of the country for a meeting?” “Um, I had to cancel because I needed to come see you immediately,” she sets the bottle on the table. “This looks so complex sir, have you been resting at all?” “Don't worry, I am taking care of myself.” Gray chuckles. “So, are you going to tell me what you are doing here?” She sits down at the table. The excitement of the news she brought has almost left her now. She is m

It takes only a few minutes, but the news goes around the whole country like wildfire. “The anonymous owner of the Gray corporation, has just officially been announced as the first trillionaire of the world. The whole country of Westland congratulates him on this great feat…” Gray lights a cigarette as he walks out of the estate. The estate is very quiet, that's one of the perks of living in very rich neighborhoods. They are barely around. When he gets out of the house, it has just finished raining. He doesn't have an umbrella, so he just casually walks down the street till finds a taxi. The driver stops and waits for him to get out of his car. “Hey, mate. Where are you heading to?” “King's estate.” Gray says as he enters the car. “That will be fifty bucks, my friend. Not many people like to go there.” Gray looks out. The driver steps on the gas and drivers away. He starts to switch through the channels of the radio. “Gray corporation is one of the fastest growing businesses

Dan walks into the house first. He still has a strong strut, and that's courtesy of the throw that Alice threw him days ago. He almost turns white when he sees Gray, but he recovers when he sees that Alice, his nightmare, is not in the house. Wendy comes in next, she is wearing very tall stilettos, and she is rummaging through her bag. She lifts her eyes and sees her ex-husband. Her eyes grow dark immediately with hate. “Oh, I thought that the place stank with the strange odor of poverty. Mum, how long has Gray been here?” She asks. “Thirty minutes,” her mother answers. “Oh, he hasn't been here that long. It's not like he is too busy, it's not like he has something else to do.” Wendy throws her Chanel bag on the chair and sits down. Her brother sits down next to their mother. Their eyes are focused on one person in the room– on Gray. “So, you came to my house the other day.” Wendy crosses her legs. “I heard that a friend of yours assaulted my brother.” “Look, she barely touc

Wendy, Dan, and Mrs Blanchard burst into a terrible fit of laughter. They are almost falling over, tears are trickling down their eyes as they slap their knees and laugh some more. “This has got to be the most stupid shit I have ever heard in my life!” “The poor man wants to marry the girl that is in debt!” “What are you going to do married to each other? Get poorer!” They are laughing and laughing, but Gray is not laughing. He means what he said, and he is still standing by it. No matter how much they laugh. Gray allows them to laugh and laugh and when they ask done, they stop laughing. “Wait, you are serious?” Dan's face freezes with realization. “As a heart attack.” Gray affirms. “Are you dumb, Gray? Did you hear what I said?” Wendy snaps. “Stacy is in debt. She doesn't have a job, she doesn't have money saved anywhere! Why do you want to marry someone who is in debt?” Gray leans forward with a cheeky smile on his face. “Why, Wendy? Are you jealous?” She jerks back with

Stacy's jaw is on the ground. She has known Gray, as her cousin's husband, but she has never really had a thought behind that. During the wedding, though, she was a little bit down because for a slight moment, she felt like a failure because her cousin found love and she hadn't. Regardless, she was happy for her cousin. Fast forwarding now to the present day, that man she felt made her cousin so lucky, that man is asking her to marry him. Gray is handsome, very handsome to see. Stacy is very beautiful too. She has these almond shaped eyes that seem to be thinking all the time. Because of the failure that her family suffered, she now suffers from low self esteem. She doesn't think that Gray should be with someone as wretched as she is. “You should be with someone like me,” Stacy shakes her head with tears in her eyes. “I can't do anything for you. I have bad luck, my whole family died. I'm in a bad place right now.” “I'm in a bad place too,” Gray tells her in a calm voice. “But i

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
