Dan and Wendy can't believe that Gray brought that kind of money to offer them for their cousin's bride price. Now they don't have any choice, they have to let her get married to Gray tomorrow. Their mother returns from her spa day and she rushes to Dan's bedroom to look at all the money. Her jaw drops to the ground, she has never seen so much money in her life. 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
The last thing that Stacy wants is for her cousins and their mother to come to her wedding, but she doesn't have much of a choice, they forced her into inviting them. She can't even sleep at night. She finds herself smiling because she is going to be out of this hell of a house come morning. Just before dawn, she finally sleeps off in her room. She wakes up with what seems to be a heart attack, but it's not. 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 keeps glancing at his wrist watch. Very soon, it's going to be their turn to get married, but Stacy is not here yet. Conveniently, Wendy, her brother, and her mother, are standing in the corner, taking pictures of themselves with their expensive phones. 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. Deep in his heart, he is very worried about Stacy, his foot is tapping on the ground. Gray knows that Stacy wants this marriage more than anything in the wo
It's not only the Blanchards that are now staring at this super machine that is standing in front of the courthouse. Everyone is looking, from the lawyers and the other couples that have come to get married. They are staring at the car with their jaws on the ground. “Oh my God, who has purchased this car?!” “Is a crazily rich man here?” “This is the latest car, it has not even been released yet.” someone gasps. The Blanchards stop in their tracks when they see the car. They grow green with jealousy and look on as everyone takes out their phones and starts to snap the car. Stacy is paralyzed with fear and she almost faints when she sees the car that Gray has bought for her. He holds her up to make sure that she doesn't pass out from surprise. “What's the matter, Stacy? 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
As Gray drives the car away, Stacy looks back with her hands over her mouth. She doesn't believe what has happened so much that she bursts into laughter. Gray smiles too, this is the first time that he is hearing his wife laugh and he likes it very much. He will continue to make her laugh for as long as they are married. “Those crazy, crazy people!” She mutters. “I can't even believe that I'm married! I don't have to deal with them anymore!” “I am glad too. Now you are my wife, officially Mrs Lance.” Gray tells her with a smile. Stacy inhales deeply, taking in all the goodness of her new life. Wendy tossed away the name, Mrs Lance so carelessly, but Stacy is so happy to have it. Shs barely knew Gray before now, but she is happy to be his wife. She runs her hand over the dashboard of the car. It's so neat and pretty, she feels like she is doing something wrong. She is not supposed to touch it. She snatches her hand away from it and holds her wrist, as if it might work on its ow
Because Stacy passed out, Gray has to take her into the house. He sets her on the bed in the master bedroom. She is lying on the very high quality bed with a wet towel over her head. She feels like she has fallen asleep. She wakes up in this strange room with a towel over her face. She sits up, looking around in surprise. Her fear instinct is supposed to kick in because she is in an unfamiliar environment, but she can't help but stare. She can tell that she is even in the mansion right now. Even the floors are glistening, she is scared to set her foot on the ground. Gray appears at the door and smiles at her. “How is my wife doing?” He comes closer. “Wha– what happened to me?” She asks. “You passed out, it's alright. You are fine, I think you just need to rest.” He says. “Is this a hotel? Have you brought me to a hotel, Gray?” “No, this is not a hotel. Like I said, this is your new home.” He tells her. She presses her hand over her beating chest. She doesn't understand what
”General Mars, your position has been revoked!” the president boldly declares. This causes all the soldiers to turn white with shock and look around at each other. Has the president of the country gone mad? How does he want to sack the most feared general in the entire military?! General Mars is seated very calmly, he has not lost the smile on his face when the president has his shocking declaration. “Oh, Mr. President. After I have single handedly ended this war, that's when you want to revoke my position? Do you even have a reason for that?” General Mars chuckles. “Yes, General Mars, you are after all a corrupted fellow!” The president drops a heavy file on the table. “You have been accused of bribery, corruption in the military, organizing private guarding services, and betrayal of your country!” Everyone looks around with their jaws on the ground. How dare anyone accuse the General of corruption?! “I have shown you mercy by not throwing you into prison for your wrongs! You s
The Silverview airport is full to the brim. It's the busiest airport in the busy city of silver view. Movement had been restricted because of the war and it's now that the airport has been reopened to the public. As the people wait for their flights to be called, they gather around the television as the newscaster has the latest news on the war that has been raging for a while. “Information reaching us from the military says that the war has come to an end and the country of Westland remains victorious against the enemies…” The loud roars of victory push against the walls as people hug, shake and jump together to celebrate this great victory. “....Thanks to no other than the country's super soldier, popularly known as ‘Mars’, for his impressive skills. He is the hero of the war, but sources say that Mars has been missing since the day he bravely saved the country. Mars is presumed to be dead….” The celebration dies down and now with a gloomy look on their faces, people start to t
