Gray thinks that this is a joke. It has to be because that's the only way he can make sense of his wife handing him divorce papers after meeting him after years.

His jaw is on the ground, but she sighs with impatience as she pushes it towards him.

“Are you stupid as well as blind? Take it!” She orders.

“Wendy, what's this?” He wonders, feeling around for it.

“Divorce papers, you dummy! I don't know what I was doing with you in the first place. How did I fall for a loser like you?” She hiss.

Gray is dumbfounded because he didn't used to be this broke. He was worth a few hundred thousand dollars and he spent all his money on Wendy, but now that she is seeing him in such a terrible state, she has forgotten all the good things he has done for her?

Wendy looks around and adjusts her glasses. Oh God, don't allow any of her friends to be here, or worst still, her new rich boyfriend, Mateo.

Immediately after Gary left for the army, she was scouted into a modeling agency that shot her into the top twenty in the city.

Her life has changed, she has met rich and elite people and suddenly, her soldier husband is no longer good for her.

She can't take him to red carpets, she can't take him to charity events, because he won't bid the highest on the pearl earrings that is probably hundred of years old.

Look at his shoes, look at his unkempt hair. Look at his worn out suit, look at his droopy eyes that seems to be sinking into his huge eye sockets!

The most annoying of it all is the fact that the government just announced the ten soldiers that have been honored by the president, but her stupid husband is not among any of them.

He has the audacity to come back blind when he should have died in the war and perhaps be honored like the great general Mars!

The fool has come back with blind eyes on top of it all! Argh, she can't wait to get this wretched man out of her life!

“Here, sign the damn thing already!” She taps on the envelope severally. “We are going to meet in court in a few days and the judge will officially break this tragic union.”

Gray feels pain grow in his throat. Tragic? She is calling their marriage tragic? He loves her! He gave her everything and if she ever needs it, he is willing to give her his beating heart.

No, he loves this woman too much. He is not going to sign this stupid papers. He pushes them away and shakes his head.

“No, Wendy, I am not going to divorce you.” He tells her.

Her face contorts with annoyance. “What?! I came all the way and you want to tell me no?!”

“I love you, Wendy and I don't know what has triggered you to do this. Maybe we should get a drink and think this over?... It's been years and I am sure you just miss me…”

“Miss you?” She scoffs and looks away. “You are asking me to have drinks with you, but I know that you don't even have the money for the drinks!”

Gray touches his pockets. She is right, he has only a quarter left.

“Wendy, let's not talk about a stupid divorce. We have other things to talk about…” he wants to ask her about the house, but she holds out her hand rudely in his face and shuts him up.

“Do not speak! I have had just about enough with you. I can risk people seeing me out with you! We have to meet in court in a few days and it's better if you accept this divorce and sign the papers!” She gives him a wicked chuckle as she stands up to her feet.

She opens her expensive bag and slaps a ten dollar bill on the table. “I know that you have been salivating since we came in here. Get yourself the cheapest food down the street. I need you to be alive for the judge to break our marriage!”

She stands up and walks out of the place, her hips swaying and catching the attention of other men.

Gray sighs as he runs his hand over his face. Why has his wife changed so much? Why is she trying to hurt him? Why does she want her divorce?

Gray is in a heartbroken place, but the security walks into him. The restaurant is too elite to allow a blind poor man in here. He has to go. The man is going to throw him out if he doesn't leave immediately.

Gray stands up and stands to hit his stick around, finding his way towards the door. He feels ashamed as some of the customers can't stop staring at him. He can feel their eyes on him.

He keeps his eyes down and he he bumps into a group of young men that are walking into the restaurant.

Poor Gary, he loses his balance and falls against a nearby table. A bowl of soup flies and pours on the expensive suits of the three young men!

    Stacy did not expect for him to say yes, and so easily, she couldn't believe her ears. “Are you sure, Gray?” She chuckles nervously. “It's five million dollars, that's a lot of money.” “A whole lot of money, but not for you.” He says. “Now, do you want it in cash or cheque?

I can't break my promise to Stacy.” “She texted me because she wanted to know if I have any food that I don't care for. It looks like she is making the biggest meal.” Gray smiles and shakes his head. “That's Stacy, she is always taking care of everyone.” They are driving past the protest and Gray looks at the people with concern.

    Even the Generals are dumbfounded. They are so used to the Mars doing everything for them, that they don't even know how to strategize anymore. “That's a very good plan, sir.” The Generals look at each other and nod. “Bunch of morons! I give you many bonuses and you can't even come up with a good plan?!” The president shouts at them. “Stressing the richest man in the world to come up with a strategy for us?!” “Sorry, your Excellency.” They all bow. He turns to Gray and forces himself to smile. “Don't be angry, Mister Lance, were you in any way, in the army before this?” He asks. Gray just smiles. “I’ve shot a hunting gun a few times, if that counts as anything.” The president laughs again. This time around, he gestures for the soldiers to guard them as he starts to walk with Gray. He is done with the Generals, he wants to have a secret meeting with Gray now as they walk out of the room, and around the house. William follows him too, walking ahead of the soldiers. He will ref

    They are all laughing now, Gray laughs with them so much that they think that they have finally turned the anonymous trillionaire into their friend. William is standing behind Gray, looking back and forth in an alert manner. He has never seen a room full of more scary men. These were the men that killed his father, together with this psychopath that is running this nation. “So, you took care of him, the man that is supposed to be the greatest General in the army?” Gray asks. “Yes!” The president brags. “I killed him with my own tactics, and he fell right into my trap because he is not as smart as he thinks he is!” The Generals nod in agreement. They were all jealous of the Mars and all his prowess, so they allowed the president to use them to kill him. “Well, sounds like he had to be taken care of so I am glad for that. Now, can we move to the next topic?” Gray smiles. “Yes, yes, yes…” the president nods. “We need those weapons immediately because as you can see, these little

    Each time that Gray thinks that the government has shown him enough incompetence, they show him even a worst display of their stupidity!

He has never heard something more silly in his life! “Mister Lance, please don't think that the basement sanctuary is just a poorly dug hole in the ground, it's a very luxurious place.” The soldiers assure Gray. “I have only two hours to spend here and I am returning back to Silverview.” Gray glances at his wrist watch. “Take me to the president, right now.” They all get into the elevator and

    What?! Gray cannot be in the state capital of the country tonight! He promised his wife that he is going to return for lunch! How is he supposed to return for lunch if he has to go to the capital now? “Oh, I don't think that Mrs Lance would be happy if we went to the capital together.” William shakes his head. Alice frowns at him. She hasn't warmed up to William just yet, so she casts an unfriendly glare at him. “Who said anything about you going? You are still under probation, I don't appreciate you inserting yourself in the situation!” She snaps. William immediately looks down and apologizes. He knows that Alice doesn't like him, but he knows that he must have to win her over, if he will win her over. “I'm sorry Miss Alice, I didn't mean to jump the gun like that.” “Make the plane ready immediately.” Andrew says. “We will be using the private strip and since I can't have the entire security team with me, as that will bring up suspicion, William will go with me.” “Sir, he is

William and Gray descend the stairs, just waking up too. “Are you guys seeing the news?” Stacy asks with concern. “This is such a misfortune, we just won the last war and for the first time, Westland has had a little bit of pe

    Stacy is shaking because all eyes are on her. She doesn't want to get involved in this, because she knows how Wendy behaves, but the ladies start to gesture to her. “Miss, is it true that you know the anonymous trillionaire?” One asks. Stacy lost her tongue for a quick second, but so that she doesn't look stupid in front of these people, she immediately musters the courage to speak up. “Well, yes.” She nods. “My husband and I, we work directly for the anonymous trillionaire!” “So, you know him personally?” “We live in his house!” This amazes everyone in the crowd. “How does one get such a privilege?” “She is so pretty, that's why the anonymous trillionaire chose her and her Mister to live in his house!” Stacy keeps a smile on her face, but she is very nervous. The ladies come to her, trying their best to become friends with her. They snap pictures with her, tagging her on social media and letting everyone know that she is an acquaintance of the anonymous trillionaire! In le
