“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"General Mars, your position has been revoked!”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,
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 i
Oh, crap! Three of them look so mad that their very expensive shoes and suits have been stained by Gray! A common blind man! The other customers look away with fear, not wanting to be involved in this. By the suits that these boys are wearing,they can tell that they are attending the Silverview royal college; only the richest people attend such school. That means that these boys are spoiled and this lame man would regret bumping into them. “Who is this fool that seems to be just as stupid as he is blind?!” One snarls. “Look at what he has done to my Gucci shoes!” Another hits Gray across the chest with a heavy thud, Gray struggles to keep his balance. “What do you have to say for yourself, fool?!”Gray is ashamed because of the attention he is getting. There are so many people in the restaurant and they are all looking at him with disgust. He just wants to pick up his walking stick and leave. The manager rushes and grabs Gray by the arm. He can't believe that Gray just ruined
Who is this incredible woman who is brave enough to stand up for Gray in front of these people? She is no other person than Alice Yashin. The lady who Gary trained into becoming a high level class military assassin! Did she just watch and see these good for nothing men try to put their hands on her boss? Because he is now blind? Everyone in the restaurant gasps. This barbie looking lady just held this man's hand like it was a brick of wax! The man, ashamed by this act, pulls his hand away and lets out a small, embarrassed chuckle. “Oh, look at that! I almost hit this pretty lady. It's a good thing my reflex was good enough to hold back myself.” Alice sighs as she pulls her hand away. She has red lipstick and very high shoes on her feet. Her leather coat gives her a very chick, but badass look. She turns around and helps Gray to stand straight. She takes his walking stick from the ground and hands them back to him. “How dare you people try to embarrass him? Do you even know who
