Gray Lance: Useless Son-in-law Is The Billionaire General 82
This is not Stacy being entitled, no, this is about her thinking that maybe because they're work for the anonymous trillionaire, that they would get even the lowest grade ticket that see the party. Wendy hears her silent and immediately smirks with enjoyment. “You haven't gotten your tickets, have you?” She asks. “Well, no,” Stacy answers. “Gray just came back from his trip and we have discussed it yet, but we haven't gotten any ticket.”“Oh, don't even try to lie to me right now. If he had the tickets, you would have told me already!” Wendy hiss. “Gray hasn't changed. He is still the poor idiot that I divorced. How do you feel wallowing in my leftover?” Stacy sighs with sadness she hates when Wendy talks down on Gray like this. “Can you not say stuff like this about him, please?” Stacy begs. “Gray is working very hard and he is trying his best. You don't know this, but he is gathering some money to buy a small house very soon.” Wendy snorts with disbelief. “A house? Gray can't

Stacy screams with excitement. She rushes upstairs into their bedroom and there it is, the most beautiful dress that she has ever laid her eyes on. Her face suddenly freeze with fear and she start to shake. She was reading a fashion magazine days ago and she saw a red dress that was encrusted with beautiful stones. She loved the dress so much that she went online to check the price, but her throat went dry when she saw the price. So she sat back down and admired the picture in the magazine and then drew small hearts around the dress. She concluded in her heart that she would never be able to get the dress. Now the dress is sitting on the bed! “Please, please, please, tell me that this is a dream!” She jumps as she grabs his hand. “I really hope you like this colour. Because we are supposed to leave in less than thirty minutes and I will have to order another color–” “Are you kidding me?” She laughs. “This is the most gorgeous dress I have ever seen in my life!” Gray smiles, h

Stacy is so happy and excited that she can't stop smiling. She looks out of the window, grinning and tapping her feet to a beat. “Wendy was mocking me and told me that she got the tickets and we weren't invited.” She laughs. “But I know that the anonymous trillionaire won't be so heartless to us. You worked so hard for him, so why won't he give you even the lowest level tickets?” She looks at Gray, seeing that he is not smiling or laughing with her, that's when it dawns on her with doom. “Wait, you don't have the tickets.” She clutches her chest. “The anonymous trillionaire hasn't assigned anyone to us.” Gray mutters. “But don't worry, maybe we can get something when we get there…” Stacy drops her head into her hands. She almost bursts into tears, but she finds herself. “There is no way that we will be allowed in there.” She sighs. “We are going to be kicked out and we will be the laughing stock of the party.” William pities her as he looks at her through the window.“Mrs Lanc

“What?!” Wendy looks horrified. “What do you mean that their tickets are of a higher level than ours?! Do you know who we are?!” “Miss, I don't make the rules, I am just following orders.” The security says. “They are cleared to go to the VIP section of the party, and you can't do anything about it.” Wendy and Mateo are greatly offended by this. They immediately start to make a scene with the security, while Stacy, Gray, and William watch. “Do you know who I am?! I have been friends with the anonymous trillionaire for years! He is going to be here today and I am going to tell him about this! Bet, by tomorrow, you won't have a job!” Mateo rants. Stacy hasn't recovered from the shock of them having the highest level tickets, so Gray puts his hand over her shoulder and leads her in. “Ho– how did we even get the highest level tickets?” She wonders. “Mateo and Wendy are direct associates of the anonymous trillionaire, but he didn't even give that to them.” “The anonymous trillionair

Stacy is so nervous that she is grabbing another glass of wine to pour down her throat, but that's when Gray puts a gentle hand on her shoulder. “Could you excuse us for a quick minute, Stacy?” Gray asks. “We have to go to the bathroom.” “What? Both of you? At the same time? You both can't leave me here! I don't even know any of these rich people!” “We are going to be back in like five minutes.” Gray says. “Of course you will be fine till then.” “What will happen if the anonymous trillionaire comes up to me when you are gone? How are we supposed to thank him together?” He smiles at her cute panic. “Don't worry, you will be fine. Just enjoy your glass of wine and we will be back before you know it.” She sighs and agrees for them to go, even when she knows that she has social anxiety and would prefer not to be left alone with people she doesn't know. Gray and William head out and immediately they are out, they take off their masks. “Tell me, how did you get such a good woman lik

William feels as if the breath in his lungs has suddenly been snatched from his lungs. The people who killed his father are going to be at the party today! His hands turn into fists and Gray immediately notices this. “It's too early to start to avenge your father now.” Gray warns him. “If you strike too early, everything that we have worked for is going to be in vain.” “I will kill him myself before I allow him to ruin that for her.” Alice snarls. Gray takes the suit from her, together with the shoes and the mask. He will change, so that when he walks into the room, no one will notice that he is the same person. The mask has also been specially designed to keep his face hidden from those who he wants to keep in the dark about his identity. “Call me when I'm ready, for now…” Gray looks from Alice and William. “Get familiar with yourself, because from now on, both of you will work together.” Gray leaves the room and Alice sighs as she takes out her phone and aggressively starts t

Gray has been looking forwards to meeting another member of the De Nicola Mafia, and that day is finally here. Dawson smiles as he offers Gray a respectful smile and a handshake. “Mister anonymous! I have been looking forward to the day that I will meet you!” He says. “I bring you greeting from the entire De Nicola family.” “The pleasure is mine, Mister Burke.” He says. “Hope you are enjoying the party?” “Yes, I am, sir.” He says. “I was hoping to have a meeting with you today. The de Nicola family has asked me to bring in some business suggestions for you, and we can both work on it for the benefit of both of us.” “I like the sound of that, Mister Burke. Why don't you speak to my assinat and then maybe we can set something up?” Gray asks. “Have a nice day.” “Sir the son of my boss, Mateo De Nicola, he told his father that he is your friend and have met with him a few times.” Gray stops and shakes his head. “That name doesn't ring a single bell to him, but I look forward to mee

Everyone is surprised by her very strange request. “Mrs Lance, surely you are not talking about the disrespectful couple that insulted you when we were entering this place?” William is mesmerized. “Mrs Lance, I don't think you are in your right mind. Perhaps you have had too much wine and it's altering your thoughts.” But Stacy shakes her head and smirks at them. “I'm fully aware of myself and yes, I know what I am requesting.” “Then why have you asked such a request from me, knowing fully well that they offended you?” The anonymous trillionaire asks. “Because, no matter what, she is still my cousin?” Stacy looks out of the glass walls. From here, she can see everyone downstairs partying. Everyone seems to be having such a great time down there, since even though they are not in the VIP section, it's a great privilege to be accepted into the venue in the first place. But not Wendy, she has been sulking and glaring at Stacy from down there. Even with that, Stacy was feeling so b

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.”

On the fifth of July, a day that will forever be remembered as the day that Gray Lance took over the country, but also as the day that his first child was born. “... The commander in chief of our country has just welcomed a baby girl, Amanda Marie Lance. 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. She is lying in the bed, having a deep sleep.Gray is going to forever worship the ground that his wife walks on from this day forward. The pain he saw her go through in the labor room told him that women are not mere people, but super beings with great strength.” His daughter makes

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
