2024-10-25 15:20:07The security men are confused. Has their boss suddenly developed muscle pull and is that why he is on the ground?
Surely, he is not bowing down to a man in a threadbare suit and an uneven beard? A blind man!! Look at the car the fellow and his friend are driving. A jeep that was released years ago, not even the latest version. ( The car is not even from a luxurious company) The only cars that have driven into the estate as the most expensive ones that will be seen around the city. They are imported and even have customized plate numbers! But this is clearly not what they think it is. Because their boss, the manager, is trembling as he bows again and again. Suddenly, the security men see that they are in trouble. “Oh, Mister Lance, you have gone without contacting us for four years now and you didn't tell me that you will be coming into the estate!” The manager says. “I would have prepared your house and cleaned up the place! I would have gathered the resident to come and welcome you…” “Mister manager, there is no need for that. You know that I am not a man that likes those kinds of things. I like my quiet return.” Gray smile. “I am so happy to be back. Please, shake my hand.” The manager stands up to his feet, as he reaches out to shake Gray's hand. He notice that Gray can't see, what happened to his eyes? He casts an angry look at the security, he is praying in his heart that they have not done something stupid to the most important member of their estate! “Guards, why haven't you allowed Mister Lance through the gates? He has just returned from a long trip and he is very tired.” The security looks at each other with fear, their hearts are almost jumping out of their chests. “Sir, we just wanted to make sure that this man is not an imposter trying to get into the estate to rob the place,” the leader stammers. “That's not what you said a few minutes ago,” Alice snorts. “Didn't you call us thieves and even threatened to get the army involved in harassing us?” The security men wishes that the ground will open up and swallow them. They said sexually insulting things to this woman and considered the blind man to be a nobody and now they find out that he is a rich man?! They are doomed. “We are sorry, sir, we didn't know–” The manager snatches Gray's golden card, he is going to deal with them later. For now, he has to give Mister Gray Lance a befitting apology. “I'm sorry, sir.” The manager bows yet again. “I will make you for their disrespect, sir. I will personally discipline them and also, I will send a bottle of the Italian imported champagne everyday for as long as you stay with us.” But Gray is not even concerned with the manager, he is more concentrated on the security men with such a strong glare that the men feels like they are having holes being bored through them. “No, let them try it.” Gray smiles. The manager stops and glances from Gray to the security men. “Pardon, sir?” “They said that the card was stolen and that I am a con artist. Let them run the card through the system and let's see what happens…” The manager bites down his lower lip and hands back the card to the head security. He is so close to tears, he wants to beg the manager not to do this, but he knows he doesn't have a choice. He takes the card and slowly swipes it. It gives a positive beep and the name, GRAY LANCE, appears with a green tick mark next to it. Not only is Mister Gray living in the estate, he owns the biggest house in the estate. A mansion that cost five hundred million, and was unoccupied for years because no one could afford it. Until Gray Lance bought it. Not only did they mess up, they messed up really bad. The manager breathes out angrily from his flaring nostrils. “Get your stuff and leave the estate now. You have been fired for treating Mister Gray Lance so terribly.”

“Please, sir, please don't allow our stupidity to cost us our means of livelihood.” They beg in tears. But the manager is not going to have it. What are his boss going to say when he finds out that these security insulted the man that single handedly took the royal gates estate out of debt? “Do not beg me, pack your filthy things and leave! More reasonable people will be here to take your place in ten minutes!” The manager huffs. The men sees that they don't have any hope with their boss, so they turn to Gray, the man that they have offended. “Sir, please, have mercy on us. Please, miss, we didn't mean to insult both of you, that was very foolish of us.” They weep. “We will personally come to your house everyday to help you with chores and errands, since you are blind!” Alice throws her head back and laugh, she loves the way karma's quick to bite them in their asses again. “Isn't the car the oldest that has ever been driven to this estate? Didn't you say that we were thieves?”

Alice holds her hands over her face, she is shaking with a burst of happiness for her boss! She cried when she thought he was dead and she cried even harder when she thought that he was now with a disability. Imagine such a strong man becoming blind, becoming dependent on people, but alas! It was all for show! He walks over to the kitchen and brings some champagne and glasses. Something to calm her down. She is so shaken by the news that there are tears in her eyes. She drinks some of the wine and places her hand underneath her nose. “I know, it's a lot.” Gray chuckles. “But you never told me anything sir.” Alice shakes her head. “I would have helped you.” “Alice, I didn't tell you anything because that could get you into trouble. They tried to kill me, you would have died if you knew about my plan.” Alice sighs as she drinks some more. He is telling the truth though, she might be so skilled in combat and is also a trained soldier, but the truth is that the military and the go

Bowing to her boss. “At your service, general. Where are we heading to?” Gray takes out his phone and stares at the screen with a smile on his face. “The Blanchard family, Wendy's family, has invited me over for tea.” He says. “I don't know about you, but I am very curious to meet my former in-la

In the flesh after so many years? To be honest, I think that you are dead.” He goes up to his mother, gives him a kiss and sits next to her.“Dan Blanchard,” Gray nods. “I thought that you would change, but you haven't…” Gray notices the expensive shoes and watch that Dan is putting on.

He even paid rent years in advance for them, but now he is asking them to pack out and claim that he owns the place? Dan stands up and looks at his mother, as if to confirm if she heard the madness that has just come out of this man's mouth. “Have you gone mad, you stupid fool?!” Dan barks. “Because you paid a little rent for us, you think that you can order us to leave this house?!” “You can do no such thing, Gray, I bet you!” Mrs Blanchard dares him. “Besides, even if you paid the rent, so what? The rent you paid is going to expire this year and my daughter's boyfriend has said he will even pay ten more years for us!” Gray laughs because the Blanchard family has got to be one of the most stupid in the world. “You think that I am talking about rent?” He looks at them and hiss. “This is legally my house! I won

He hasn't ever been told no in his life! How can this woman reject such a handsome man as he is! He walks up to her window and leans against the car. “Do you even know who you are rejecting?” He asks with a sorry squint and a smile. “I don't know, the fucking king of England?” Alice shrugs with sarcasm. The man laughs as he moves his tongue around in his mouth. “Well, since you seem to have lost your memory, I will tell you who I am.

All the Generals of Westland are dead, throwing the president into a fit of rage and sorrow. He calls for a press briefing and for ten minutes straight, the whole nation watches as the president cries his heart out on live national TV. How can he not cry like a kid that dropped their ice cream in a park? He just lost the leaders of his army! He blows his nose into his handkerchief and shakes his head when one of his assistants offers him to quit and do this on a later date. “No, the world needs to know what the Mars has been doing! It's safe to say that the masked man has turned into a terrorist!” He yells into the microphone. “Do you all hear me? Your hero has turned into a terrorist! He killed the Generals of the army like they were nothing, and what does that tell you people? That this country is under attack!” The journalists look at each other, before leaning forward even more. “Mister president, can you speak about the news that the Generals were found with questionable

William almost drops a few tears when Gray told him that. He gets to kill those good for nothing sons of bitches?! “Yes, sir! Are you kidding me?! I will be the happiest person to be the one to kill all those wicked men!” William rejoices. He is so happy that he doesn't even know when he hugs his boss! Gray doesn't take offence to this, he knows that William is just being happy! William wipes the tears from his face. “William, look at me, this is the most serious thing that you have ever done in your life, are you sure that you can do it?” Gray asks. “Yes, sir, I can do it! I will use everything that I have to make sure that this is done well!” William says. But Gray is still very serious, he places a hand on William's shoulder. “You are going to put on my uniform, you are going to wear my mask, and you are going to kill all of them. Is this too much pressure for you? Tell me, and I will get someone else to handle it…” Williams lips parts. Will he get to wear the Mars' uniform?

William doesn't know what Gray wants from him, when he drives him to the park one evening. He has been waiting for the almighty Mars to send him on a mission, but he has spent weeks in the house, sometimes helping Miss Yashin around at the office too, but he hasn't done much. He has decided to keep himself very busy by going to the gym for hours, and helping Stacy around the house. He has been very restless, because he wants to kill and repay all the evil that was done to his family, but the Mars has been very calculative and slow with his plan. He didn't ask for any progress, out of respect and fear of the Mars. He was starting to feel impatient, but he calmed himself as much as he could….Then the strange day comes when the Mars asks him to pack a bag, and he drives them to the park. They get out and take a walk, around the running kids and relaxing adults. William notices the way that Gray's eyes are expressionless, and that makes the anxiety inside of him grow even more. H

Gray smirks, even when it seems like his secret has come to light, and he should be panicking. “You think I am the Mars?!” He cocks his head. “Of course not.” Mateo says. “That's not exactly what I am saying, you see…” Mateo pauses his sentence to pull a chair and sit in front of Gray. “You are not the Mars, but you work for him, you are his… puppet and he makes you do his dirty work. That's the only way that he keeps being mysterious and keeps slipping through my fingers, because you are his doppelganger. You put on his mask, and do some of his dirty work for him…” Mateo holds his breath, he feels very happy with how he has dismantled this situation. “Wow.” Gray claps his hands slowly, shaking his head with a fake impression. “Are you mocking me right now?” Mateo squints. “I mean, that's a very creative mind you have there, for you to think that I, the man you haven't thought much of, is the one who has destabilized the country.”Mateo feels a hot rush to his face, maybe he d

Of course the president hates that Mateo has not been able to keep his side of the promise, he doesn't even hesitate to give Mateo a piece of his mind. He is at the office, and he is scared that his assistant would hear, so he gets into the bathroom and shuts the door. “Mister president, if you can just give me a minute or two to explain myself.” Mateo runs his hand over his forehead. “Please, I don't wish to waste any of my time with you! How dare you, Mister Mateo?! You want to make me the laughing stock of the country?!” He blasts. “Sir, please give me a minute –” “The Mars is still out there, acting with a mysterious air around himself, and I have to explain to the people why he is still free– defying me!” “Mister president, please!” Mateo begs. Can this man just stop screaming for a while and let him get some few words out! He hits his hand against the wall and his face contorts with suppressed anger. “Sir, I didn't say that I wasn't going to kill the Mars for you, I only

Stacy's face goes red immediately, she knows how men are, and how they would never accept that they are having such a problem. Wendy falls to the ground and wails some more, and at this point, Stacy has to put aside her difference with her cousin and gets down on her knees to comfort her. “I'm so ashamed to tell even my mother about this, not even my friends! Mateo doesn't even want to go to the hospital with me, and I have just become even more and more depressed!” She cries. “Wendy, stop crying, please. Everything is going to be fine, okay?” Stacy rubs her back. “How do you get Gray to listen to you?” She sniffles. “He even kills for you, but not Mateo. He is always angry, and I don't know why.” “Men are different, and it's not your fault that Mateo behaves the way he does.” Stacy sighs. “You will be fine.” “Fine?” Wendy snorts. “Mateo's mother just slapped me yesterday and told me to give her a grandchild, or she is going to kick me out!” That's a lie, the only person who

After thinking about it for a while, Wendy decides that she is going to pay her dear cousin a visit. She drives to the house and even bought some baby stuff as gifts. When she gets to the house, she parks her car a distance away, because she wants to make sure that Gray is not in the house. She is still very scared of him. She ducks when she sees him and when he drives away, she grabs her gift and gets to the front of the house. She presses the bell and waits. Stacy opens the door, looking white and tired. She pulls her lips together in worry as soon as she sees her cousin. “What do you want, Wendy?” “Geez, what did I ever do to you?” Wendy asks. “I came here bearing gifts and you are being so rude towards me?” Stacy won't allow her to gaslight her, so she holds the door in her hand and won't even move an inch. “You can't be here, Wendy. I don't want to talk to you, I don't think there is any reason for you to be here, so I want you to leave.” Wendy sighs. Of course Stacy

“I can't believe Gray. He has turned into a devil and killed those people in our living room!” Wendy wipes her tears. “What are we going to do with the two dead bodies now? What are we going to tell your parents? We should tell your parents, we can't allow this to slide.” She is stroking his hair, but Mateo shrugs her away and gets up to his feet. “Are you dumb, Wendy? Can't you see how dangerous of a man he is? It's your fault that he found out! If not, why did he even come here in the first place?!” Wendy winces as she takes a few steps back and blinks. “It is my fault? I didn't tell him anything! He just guessed that you were behind it, he doesn't have any evidence to defend his claim.” Mateo holds his hand over his forehead, he is breathing steam out of his nostrils. “I have to take care of this! I have to get rid of those bodies before they start to stink the place up!” He walks out of the kitchen, and Wendy lets out a sigh. She looks at her hands, they are still shaking f

Wendy holds her hands over her mouth and let out a blood curdling scream. She is not screaming because Gray has just killed two more people in front of her, no, she is screaming because he has just soiled her expensive carpet with blood!“That's an expensive Persian carpet!” She yells. “What's wrong with you, Gray?!” “What the fuck, Gray!” Mateo shouts too. “Have you gone mad?” Gray moves the gun to face them, and they immediately freeze as soon as they see that. “Gray, don't.” Mateo raises both of his hands. “Maybe you should ask me if I am crazy again.” Gray says calmly. Wendy is now tongue tied. She has seen Gray use guns many times, and she knows that he can kill them if he wants. “Gray, please, don't do anything crazy. Please, you don't want to hurt us.” Mateo is not begging, he has a gun on him almost all the time– he even has one now– and he reaches to grab it, but Gray fires another shot. It leaves a smoking hole in the wall, very dangerously close to his face. Mate
