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?

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

Wendy, seeing that her brother has pulled a fast one on Gray, starts to laugh with him. “Oh, there is no way that he will be able to afford that. Look at his shoes, they are so cheap but he can't even replace them!” Wendy laughs. “How can I be able to afford a bride price of such an amount?” Stacy sighs and drops her head into her hands. Her eyes are quickly filled with tears, but she brushes it away. What was she even thinking in the first place? That the Blanchards are going to allow her to go just like that? “You know what, Gray? Just forget about it. It's not worth it.” She exhales. “Dan is asking you for twenty million as bride price, but I owe them ten million. I am not worth the trouble, thank you for trying to help me.” Wendy chuckles when she sees the pain in her cousin's eyes. She loves every bit of it. “Look at you, such a sad girl! Go and clean my Gucci shoes, I have a party to attend!” Gray looks up with a look of new hope in his eyes. He looks at Stacy and he kno

Worry is not what's on Gray's mind right now. Instead he gently walks out of the room and to his office. He needs to get his laptop. He takes out his phone and gives a call to Alice Yashin. He knows that it's very late at night, but he needs something from her. Like he expected, she picks up immediately. “Hello, sir. Is everything okay? Is Stacy and the baby fine?” “Yeah, they are both sleeping. I just need you to send some files to me.” He says to her. She is quiet from uncertainty at the other end. “But, sir, you are a new father and you are not supposed to be working. Just tell me what to do, and I will handle it.” She says. She is being very generous, but he won't allow that. They have worked so hard for months to see that his mission is fulfilled, and now he is going to handle this one by himself. “Don't worry about it, Alice, I just need you to do one single thing for me. Send all the files we have on the Hyena to me immediately.” “The Hyena, sir? But the man is dead.”

On the fifth of July, a day that will forever be remembered as the day that Gray Lance took over the country, but also as the day that his first child was born. “... The commander in chief of our country has just welcomed a baby girl, Amanda Marie Lance. Congratulations to the people of Westland…” Gray is sitting on the couch, as his eyes watch the almost mute television, where the report of the birth of his daughter has just been broadcasted…She is in his hands, so small and delicate, and she is the most perfect thing in the entire world. He hasn't taken his eyes off her, he is even too scared to breathe too loud. Stacy is totally exhausted, even though the birth was fortunately very short for her. She is lying in the bed, having a deep sleep.Gray is going to forever worship the ground that his wife walks on from this day forward.

William is explaining everything to her, but she doesn't understand what is going on yet.Why should she be the one to deliver the speech, when she was just helping the anonymous trillionaire's wife? She opens her mouth with a small gap, but no words can come out. Everyone is kindly smiling at her, the way people would look at their savior…She sighs and presses her hand against her forehead. “But, I can't deliver the speech? I'm not the Mars' wife, that's not even possible.” William smiles at her. “Oh, Stacy. You have no idea how possible anything can be.” That's when it strikes her with a heavy beating of her chest. No,no,no. “Gray is the Mars?” She whispers, almost to herself. William looks so proud, he nods slowly. “But…” she stops. Gray is the Mars!! Gray is the anonymous trillionaire! She has been married to the richest man in the world the whole time, and she didn't even know that. This is big news to her, and in front of so many people. She would need like a month to

Stacy is very surprised to see her Aunt, but she is even more surprised to see her Auntie kneeling in front of her and begging for mercy. “Please, I was blinded by the devil!” She cries. “I didn't know that you were going to turn out so great. Remember that I gave you a roof over your head and fed you for years. Please have pity on your old and wrinkled auntie. The truth is that Wendy and Mateo told their family that Gray and Stacy are not ordinary people, but the richest and most powerful couple in the country. Mr and Mrs de Nicola believe it very easily because they got their house back. They were happy and satisfied, even though they didn't get everything they had before, and they made sure to stop by the Gray corporation headquarters to thank him. Mrs Blanchard did not believe it at all. “Are you trying to tell me that the disgraceful son-in-law of the family is so rich? Please, spare me that nonsense!” Wendy continued to try to get her mother to change her mind, but her moth

President Brody is dead and now, the Mars is going to take over as the president of the country by virtue of being the most competent General. No one is even opposed to this, and everyone is very happy. General Micheal retires happily, after everything, he is sure that he will now live a happy and peaceful life. Everyone is preparing for July fifth, for it's going to be the day that the Mars, who everyone now knows is General Gray Lance, will be sworn in. Hundreds of representatives of good countries come to form firm allies with the new leader of Westland, and everyone is so happy because July fifth is just a day away….There is only one person who doesn't know what exactly is going on, and that's Stacy.

There is just one thing that she doesn't know, and that is that her husband was the one who killed the president. She didn't watch
304
No one, except Brody, knows that this man is the anonymous trillionaire, but as soon as they see the fear in Brody's eyes, they immediately know. Brody fired up to three shots and none of them hit this man. He drops his gun in fright and starts to back into the wall. “You are not human!” He shivers. “You are not human, you fucking bastard!” He tries to find something to shield himself because from the look in Gray's eyes, he knows that he is about to be killed. He throws a chair in Gray's direction, but when he sees that doesn't work, he grabs the almost frightened newscaster lady and uses her as a human shield. She shrieks and he immediately slaps his hand over her mouth. “Shut up! If you come any closer to me, I am going to shoot her, you hear me!” Everyone is shaken, they don't want to lose another of their colleagues. They expect that the Mars would throw away his gun and negotiate with the crazy man, but that's not what happens. Gray casually checks his gun to see if it's

Once Brody had said the single line that he had rehearsed, he expected for the professionals to take over. Yes, even though he has just barged into the place, shot a bunch of people, and traumatized the hell out of them, he expects for them to still be very professional and come up with the best questions. He sighs with anger when he sees that the newscasters are just holding on to each other like scared chickens, and trying their hardest not to make eye contact with him. “Now, listen to me, you two fools,” he picks up the gun again. “I didn't go through all that trouble for you two to be fucking dumb, so you better get your shit together, or I am going to blow your fucking brains all over the place.” The lady shuts her eyes as more tears pours out. She is sobbing, she has to press her hands over her mouth to keep the sound out. The man has to summon courage, else they are going to be dead, so he whispers to his colleague and pushes her to the side. He takes out his handkerchief
302
Brody feels like he has been caught up in a crossroad, the only man that would have been able to help him turns out to be the enemy himself. He watched the official announcement, now the whole world knows the truth about what has happened. He doesn't have anywhere else to go, he doesn't have anything to use to save himself. He still has a few tens of supporters, they are afraid to come out and say so because they fear Mars and also the judgement from their friends and families. Some of them have cut off contact with him, and this breaks his heart even more. He can't flee the country too, because he knows that he is going to be caught at the airport, or as soon as he approaches any border.Brody knows that surrendering won't work, not after the many things that he and his family did. So, what will he do now? He decides to go on live TV and say his mind. Brody is surely a master manipulator and he knows that if he plays his cards right, he will gather the gullible lots among the W

Surely, the Mars/anonymous trillionaire is a very smart man, because he has managed to keep his identity for so long, even though he has two different sides. No wonder he has been so devoted to their country! If he can turn his company into a trillion dollar one, then they can trust him with the country and they are sure that he is going to do a very good job with it. Stacy is one of the people that are blown away by this news. She sits down in front of the television in her room, as she watches a newscaster compare an image of the Mars and the anonymous trillionaire. “...now if you look at both pictures very closely, you will see that they are both equal in height. Don't miss the broad shoulders, or the mighty biceps that seem to be spilling out of his shirt….” Stacy scoffs. “Is this now a thirst trap? This is a very serious matter!” Wend
