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.

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

Gray thinks that Stacy is still acting, but it has been ten days since they got married and she has still been a good wife. She wakes up in the morning, cleans the entire house, cooks him some breakfast, and then, she asks him if there is anything he wants her to do. She doesn't mind that he locks himself in the office all day. He tells her that the anonymous trillionaire gave him some work to do, and she doesn't ask any questions, she is okay with that. She even carefully crafts a handwritten note and gives it to Gray. “Here, I want you to give this to your boss. It's a token of my appreciation for him allowing us to live in his house.” Gray smiles as he puts the letter carefully in a book. “Don't worry, I will give it to him.” “When next he is in the city, please let me know that I can bake him a cake.” She says. “What do you think his favorite kind of cake is?” Gray runs his hand over his heart, pretending to think. “Chocolate, I think.” “Okay. I will keep that in mind.” Sh

Mrs Blanchard rushes to Mateo and tries to hug him, but he holds up his finger rudely in her face. “Future mother-in-law, do you know how much my suit cost to be professionally pressed? I don't want to be creased, I won't hug you.” If it had been anyone else, the Blanchard family would have jumped to accuse them of being rude, but not Mateo. Mrs Blanchard smiles as she moves to the side. Dan comes and shakes Mateo's hand, holding the man's hand until Mateo shrugs him off. “I got your used clothes yesterday, sir. They fit me very well,” Dan chuckles. Mateo goes to sit down. Dan's wife greets him with a deep bow. She pulls his chair for him. Mateo sits down and everyone else sits back down. Wendy is seated next to her boyfriend, she takes out her mirror, she needs to make sure that her makeup is perfect. She is always worried about her appearance when she is with Mateo.

Stacy pulls at his shirt and whispers to him. “What are you doing, Gray? It takes thirty thousand dollars to pay for a table there! We can't afford it!” “You are nuts.” Mateo snorts. “The twin towers restaurant can't give you a reservation, even if you can afford it!” Gray takes out his phone and makes a very quick call to Alice. “Yes, I need a table at the twin towers restaurant now. Call them immediately because I will be on my way in two minutes!” “It's done, sir.” Alice says, just after two seconds. Gray's phone vibrates, he has just been sent the confirmation message. Mateo scoffs. “Now, this is impossible!” “Stacy and I will be heading there to have dinner. You all can eat this cheap food, or you can come and join us.” Gray takes Stacy's hand and starts to walk away. Wendy can't believe what she has just experienced. Did Gray actually get the table? She holds on to Mateo's hand and pouts her mouth. “Honey, you told me that you will get me a reservation at the twin towe

Stacy is holding her breath, but when they get to the door and Gray gives his name, they confirm his reservation. “Welcome to the twin towers restaurant, Mister Gray. You paid for the biggest table, the table of ten. Enjoy your night.” Stacy gasps with surprise, he didn't lie to her at all. He really booked the table. When she steps into the restaurant, she feels as if her soul has left her body. It's the most beautiful place that she has never seen in her life. She tears up immediately. She would have never imagined that she would ever be able to enter somewhere like this. She turns around and hugs him very tightly. “Thank you! I can't believe that I am standing in this beautiful place! Thank you for bringing me here!” He hugs her back. “I would do anything for you, my beautiful wife. I can't ask for a better wife.” He pulls the chair for her to sit down. They look around them, only the richest people are sitting around them. Do you know how much connection it takes to get a

After they have all sat down, somehow, Gary and Stacy fade into the thin air, even though they were the ones who made the reservation. Mateo is laughing, legs spread out as he brags about things that might be true or not true. “You know, I was just speaking on the phone with the anonymous trillionaire,” Mateo brags. Mateo's old friend, who is called Gabriel, his jaw drops on the ground. “You are friends with the anonymous trillionaire?” “Yes!” Affirms Mateo. “I was the one who even gave him his business ideas. All he knows in his line is business, I was the one who taught him. When he reached the trillionaire mark, he called me and thanked me for making him who he is. He asked me to accept his gift of a large part of his business share, but I turn it down now. My father didn't raise me to take things after an act of goodness!” Stacy sighs under her breath and rolls her eyes. The waiters have come to bring in their food. The food here is very expensive, even a bottle of water is

Gray sighs. Since Stacy has become uncomfortable, he doesn't have any option, but he has to leave with her. Wendy is the first to notice that they are getting ready to leave the table? “And where are the two of you heading to?” She hiss. “Home.” Stacy heaves. “I have a headache and I have to go home to rest. Thank you for today.” Yes, Stacy is thanking them, even though it's Gray that made all of this happen. “Both of these are the most ungrateful things I have ever seen in my life!” Wendy hits her hands over the table. “My man spent so much effort to get this reservation and also invited you people, and you want to leave?!” Stacy's jaw tightens. She has never fought with her cousin, but she wants to jump on her right now. “Hi, can you say such nonsense, Wendy!” Stacy yells. “How dare you lie when you know that Gray was the one who made the reservation?” The attention of everyone has been turned to the table. Even Gabriel, the invited guest, looks surprised. He thought that Ma

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.”

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.

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. She read on the news that the wicked president has finally been killed by the Mars, and she is very happy because the country will know peace now. 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

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
