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
Stacy wants to fall on her knees and beg with all of her heart. They are going to be arrested if they don't pay, she doesn't want to spend the night in a police station. “Oh, Stacy is going to sleep in the station!” Wendy mocks. “You are going to shiver with so much cold! And maybe you and your stupid husband will learn how to respect my man!” Just as Stacy is about to go down on her knees, Gray puts his hand under her arm, he won't allow her to kneel for these wicked people. Now, even Richard starts to feel bad for Stacy and Gray. He knows that Mateo has always been full of himself when they were in highschool, but he thought that he had grown up. “Come on, man, you are not actually going to get them arrested. I know you have the money, why can't you just pay for them?” Richard asks. “Oh, Richard, I won't expect you to understand the ways of the rich. When you have servants that misbehave, you have to teach them a lesson, or else it's going to get into their head. Listen and le
“I'm sorry, sir, but your card has been declined!” Everyone starts to murmur and Mateo's face turns red with both embarrassment and anger. Never in his life has his card declined! He jumps up and grabs the card from the manager and examines it very carefully. “Are you trying to insult me?” He murmurs. “My family is one of the richest in the country! How dare you say my card has been declined? This is a prestigious black card, it can never decline!” The manager keeps shut, even though he knows that he didn't make any errors. But he knows rich people and their pride very well, so he decides to be patient. “Forgive me, sir, I will attempt it again.” He smiles. The manager takes the card back and attempts the transaction again, but the dreadful beep comes again. Mateo is covered in sweat at this point. He mutters something about their machine being at fault. He snatches his card from the and brings out another card. “This one has over a million on it. It can't decline.” The mana
Now the police have to take them all away, and that's when everyone starts to go into full panic mode. Richard is regretting why he even stopped to greet Mateo, he even feels stupid for agreeing to have dinner with them. How he is going to be thrown into jail for a crime he didn't personally commit. “You all are under arrest, everything you say or do will be used against you in the court of law.” The police take out the cuffs. Stacy grabs Gray's hand, she is looking at the handcuffs as if they are guns. She doesn't want it to come close to her at all.“Wait!” Gray speaks for the first time in a very long time. He takes out a card from his pocket and hands it to the manager. “I am paying for myself, and just my wife.” Gray says. “Please, go forward with it.” The manager scoffs with hostility. “Mister man, you think that I have the time to joke around with you? Your friend here gave me two cards that didn't work, do you think I will believe that your card will work?” “It's wron
"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 wr
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
Nevertheless, Gray is going to give his wife the benefit of the doubt. Wasn't she crying when he had to leave the city and go back to the army? They were just freshly married, barely a year. She was worried about what he would eat and how he would survive in the harsh weather of the war zone. She didn't know that he is the mars! The greatest soldier the country has ever had… surely she still loves him, she might just be in a bad mood and that's why she sounded pissed off on the phone. He grabs his walking stick and checks his old wallet. He has a few coins left, surely it will be enough to take him to the restaurant..He manages to stop another taxi to take him to the restaurant to meet his wife. When he gets to the flashy restaurant in the heart of the city, he feels intimidated. He can't see, but he can hear the expensive cars drive past him. This is the elite part of the city. He manages to go to the door and after the security makes sure that he truly is here to meet someone,
