“Let's all get the most beautiful lingerie and surprise our men tonight!” Doris suggests with a laugh. “Ah, I can't. Gray is out of town.” Stacy shakes her head. “There you go, spoiling the fun!” Wendy rolls her eyes. “Should we discard the plan because your husband refused to be home tonight?” “Oh, it's not like that!” Stacy pushes her hair away from her face. “I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scatter the plan. I will purchase it too, I will just keep it and use it when he comes back…” The happy mood returns and soon, the girls are laughing and picking the colours of their lingerie. “Maybe I can get my man to buy me the car that I want!” Doris stands in front of a mirror as she holds a scanty gown over her body. “Oh, I haven't done this kind of thing with Gray,” Stacy giggles shyly. Wendy keeps sulking at the back, but the girls aren't paying her any attention anymore. They figured out very quickly that she is intentionally trying to ruin the mood, but they won't allow her. They ar

Everyone turns red in the face with embarrassment and Stacy breaks down crying. She knows that she isn't a thief, she didn't steal anything, but her sad tears make the workers immediately think she is guilty. “We have to call the police immediately.” The workers say. “This is a crime and has to be treated as such.” “I swear, I didn't put it in there! I'm not a thief, I don't know how it got in there!” Stacy sobs. Alex and Doris immediately go down on their knees and comfort Stacy. Even though this thing that has happened is very embarrassing, they are still going to choose to stay with their friend. “Please, this has got to be a mistake.” Alex looks at the workers. “Our friend is not a thief.” “I'm sorry, but this is a crime and she will have to be arrested for it.” The workers insists. “Did you hear what we said, our friend is not a thief!” Doris shouts. “Oh, Doris, stop shouting at the poor people who are just trying to do their job!” Wendy cautions her. “But they are accus

Alice frowns when her phone rings in the middle of a very important meeting. She wants to reject the call, even though it's an unsaved number. Many investors are tripping over themselves as they want to do business with her great corporation, the Gray corporation, but she has been rejecting them. Maybe this is one of them, she sighs and ignores the call, but the phone keeps calling. “Alice Yashin, speaking, listen I don't want your investment and no, I am not available to talk over dinner–” she rolls her eyes. “Miss Yashin, it's me. I'm sorry to bother you, but I have no one else to call…” Alice's eyes bulge.

Everyone's jaw drops to the ground, it's like they didn't expect for them to see what's happening in front of them. Went leans forward and squints at the screen that shows her crimes. “Jesus, is this a movie?” She asks. “That's what I wore, but I definitely didn't steal that thing and put it in her bag.” Everyone turns to her with surprise, she has been caught red handed, but she is still being so proud and denying it. “This is evidence that Miss Stacy is free of the accusations against her, we have another suspect.” The worker looks at Alice. “Suspect?!” Alice shouts. “How dare you call her a suspect when you see what she did with your eyes! You didn't even wait to confirm if Stacy did it before you handcuffed her and tried to take her away!” The workers immediately cower with their eyes to the ground. “Take off those stupid handcuffs off her immediately!” Alice roars. “Incompetent lots that have no idea what they are doing!” “Yeah, you heard her right, take them off!” Alex r

Everyone is looking at Stacy as if she has gone mad. Why is she begging, with tears, for the very person that tries to set her up? “Mrs Lance, respectfully, have you lost your mind?” Alice inhales deeply to calm her nerves. “I know it sounds crazy, Miss Yashin, but I appreciate you coming to my aid, but you can't take my cousin away.” “Stacy, are you crazy?!” Alex huffs. “Let them take the lying bitch away!” “Yes, Stacy, a few days in jail will teach her a lesson!” Wendy rolls her eyes. She knows that Stacy is not wicked enough to allow them to take her, so she relishes that fact. “You heard Stacy, let go of me!” She shrugs off the police. Alice sighs, because she doesn't have a choice. If the boss' wife wants her to let go of the shady lady, she has no choice. “Let her go immediately.” Alice tells the police. “If Stacy doesn't want this to go further, we have to listen.” The police take off her cuffs and Wendy laughs in their face triumphantly. “Finally! You all have come t

Immediately Gray steps out into the taxi, he waves at her until he can't see the house anymore. “Travelling?” The friendly driver asks. “Yes. I have a flight to catch today.” “I heard that the airport has been closed today, because apparently, the anonymous trillionaire is going to be going there today!” The man laughs. He has no idea who is in his car at the moment. “Don't worry, I will just find my way when I get to the airport.” Gray smiles. The driver weaves through the cars on the busy road and in twenty minutes, they get to the airport. Outside the airports, so many bodyguards are standing, waiting for the anonymous trillionaire to come. The taxi pulls up a few meters away and the driver looks out of the window with worry on his face. “Are you sure that you want to go out there?” He asks. “I don't think that you want to get into trouble with those people and the anonymous trillionaire.” “Don't worry, sir, I will be careful.” He gives the man a hundred dollar bill.

One of the sons gets a bottle of water for Gray, it's not as special as what he is used to, but he takes it and drinks it. “I don't mean to sound rude, General Mars, but I fainted when I saw you in your regalia.

On behalf of you, on behalf of General Felix, and they will pay for what they have done for us. But in the meantime, I will give you people a five million dollar mansion and also a twenty million dollars account.” Mrs Felix immediately falls down and cries with joy. Her sons try to hold her still, but her happiness can't be contained. Even her sons are so emotional, they are almost on the verge of tears.

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.

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.

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

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
