She pours out the drink for Wendy and as she wants to turn around and leave, but Wendy orders her to stay. Wendy places her two legs on a stool slowly and smirks at her cousin. “My legs are a little sore. Massage them very carefully.” Stacy doesn't have a say, she is nothing more than a slave in this house. So, she sighs under her breath and goes down on her knees. She reaches to touch Wendy's legs, but Wendy slaps her hands away. “Hey, be gentle! My legs are one of Mateo's favorite parts of my body. If you ask me to give me a scratch, I will burn your face with a knife, do you understand?” Stacy lowers her eyes. “Yes, Stacy.” She moves slowly and starts to massage her cousin's feet. She doesn't want to press too much, lest Wendy decides to slap her across the face. “Stacy, do you think you are better than me?” Wendy asks the weirdest question in the world. Stacy freezes for a second. She doesn't know how to answer to this question. “I– I don't understand.” Wendy reaches ou

Shs takes one bundle and examines it very carefully. “Jesus, this is real money.” “We told you, mum. We didn't know that he would actually bring the money, and to think that he brought back five times what we asked for.” Dan shrugs. Mrs Blanchard is still in disbelief. “But where did he get this money from? A loan? Who would have given him such a big loan?” “He said he works for the Gray corporation. Their boss just crossed the trillion dollar mark. Maybe he got it from his place of work.” Wendy sighs. She hasn't had peace since Gray dropped the money in their living room. “My boyfriend knows the anonymous trillionair

Her cousin just woke her up around three a.m in the morning with a cold bucket of water that has ice in it. “Oh, because you are getting married today, you think that you can skip your chores?” Wendy snorts. “I have a pile of dirty clothes for you to wash and you won't leave this house until you do so!” Stacy sits up as she rubs her eyes. She feels like crying because she just slept like a few minutes ago. “Wendy, can I use the washing machine?” Stacy begs. “I will finish in minutes, I promise.” “My clothes are delicate and you must wash them by hand. Get up before I drench

Gray had ignored them, but since he hasn't seen his bride to be, he is forced to ask them. “Have you seen Stacy? This is almost thirty minutes and she is not here yet.” Gray says. Wendy looks at him with furrowed eyebrows. “Are you seriously asking us? How dare you treat us as if we are Stacy's keeper?” “Well, if you won't answer my question can you at least give me her phone number?” He asks. “Like Wendy said, we are not her keeper! Maybe she doesn't want to marry you again, stop asking us stupid questions!” Dan warns him. Gray turns away and continues to ignore them.

You don't like cars? Or is it the color?” He asks her. “Gray, I can't accept this,” her face is stilled with fear. “Tell me, did you get another loan to get this car for me? Why are you doing this?” Tommy ste

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!

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.

Please, spare me that nonsense!” Wendy continued to try to get her mother to change her mind, but her moth

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

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
