Melody cannot believe what she has heard. She looks at the passport again, but it only makes her confusion even worse. “But I don't understand. Why do I need a new identity? I already told you that I am sorry. I will turn a new leaf, just let me go.” Gray only chuckles. “You will go alright. But not just home. As we speak, my team is logging you into the records as Agnes Smith, and even booking a ticket for you to travel to the Bermuda islands.” Melody face screws. The Bermuda islands is one of the poorest countries in the world, so why does Gray want her to travel there? “I don't think my father is going to like that very much,” she mutters. “Why can't you just allow me to come home?” “Because the Bermuda islands are going to be your home from now on. You will be left with just enough money to get you through a week, and then you will have to work to earn a living. It's the poorest country in the world, and that means that you will have to work very hard in the mines to save you

“The president has just announced a state of emergency because his daughter has been considered officially missing.” A newscaster says. “It was suspected that Miss Melody Brody sneaked out of the country, so she can't be tracked using her passport. Please, if you have any information about the young lady, the presidency, and the entire Brody family would appreciate it.” Stacy's jaw is on the ground. How can that lady be missing? She remembers when she came here and harassed her and she wished that melody was dead. Did she do this? Did she wish the president's daughter away? Gray comes from the kitchen, dressed formally, all ready for work, but he is holding a cup of tea for her. Stacy smiles, he looks very handsome dressed like that. That's why she got pregnant very fast…“Hey,” he gives her a kiss and drops a special cup of tea in front of her. He has taken it upon himself to work hard everyday and prepare breakfast for her. All she has to do is eat, garden, walk around to exe

Stacy holds her breath, even though she has suddenly started to feel lightheaded. She knows that Gray would never cheat on her, but a woman won't feel her heart once she hears that, even if it's not true. “What are you even saying, Mateo? My husband is not the type to cheat.” She huffs. “Well, the joke is on you. My husband told me that he was going to have a date with a woman the other day, and it was purely business related.”Mateo bursts into a wicked fit of laughter. “Wow, you really put your entire trust in him, but you shouldn't. Your husband was staring deep into her eyes, and I am sure that he has something to do with the disappearance of that girl.” Stacy zips her lips. She is not as shocked at Mateo's accusation of Gray having an affair, than he says Gray has something to do with Melody Brody’s meeting.“Do you know what you are doing?” She asks Mateo with pain. “You are about to destroy my husband's life because you think that he had something to do with that lady, but he

This drops like an earthquake in the room. Alice and Gray look at each other, surely James is not right in the mind. “Mister James, how dare you drink before coming to see the boss?! You should be killed for committing such disrespect!” Alice berates him. James looks over his shoulder, at her. “Miss Yashin, don't be offended, I am not drunk. I have never been more sober in my life, and yes, I want to destroy the de Nicola family mafia.” Gray lets out an exhale and stands up to his feet. “Alice, can you arrange some breakfast for us?” “Yes, boss.” Alice bows and leaves. At this point, James stands up to his feet in fear. “Sir, I swear to you that I am not drunk–” “Cigarette?” Gray pulls his drawer and pulls out his favorite cigarettes. Each stick costs $1000, they are the most expensive cigarettes in the world.” “I…. I haven't smoked in a while, sir.” James admits. “You and I both,” Gray chuckles. He gives a cigarette to James, and even lights it for him. Gray goes down to loo

Gray looks into James’ eyes, looking for the insanity in them, but no. He is doing this with a sound mind. Gray moves the paper closer to him, and he reads through the contract. Gray, if he accepts this, he will become the sole owner of all the businesses, and loyalty attached to the de Nicola name. Ten billion dollars is nearly not enough for it, but James just wants to hit them where he is sure would hurt the most. “James, listen to me, maybe you want to sleep on this for a few days…” “Sign it, please.” James begs, his fingers going through his hair. “I can't sleep another night without knowing what the look would be on their faces.” “You do realize that they are going to hunt you down, right?” James chuckles. “After everything you have taught me, I will be more than capable of taking care of myself.” Gray surprises him and signs the papers without another question. “Done. Make sure to speak to Alice, and I will make sure that your money gets to you before you leave this bui

“What?!” Wendy slaps herself on both cheeks at the same time. She hopes that the pain would be enough to wake her up from this bad dream. Mateo, who is driving the car, is very angry with her. Why is his wife making this about her when his family is going to shit?!Wendy drops her head into her hands and starts to wail with sorrow. “What have I done to deserve this?! God, why is this happening to me?!” “Shut up, Wendy! Shut up before I kick you out of my goddamn car!” He fires at her. “My family has lost everything they have built for generations and you are trying to make this about you?!” Wendy stops trying so hard to cry. It's true that this news has broken her, but the tears are just for show. She is offended that Mateo doesn't thinks she deserves to cry. How dare him? She is the one who will have to suffer the most! “You think that I shouldn't cry?! Mateo, I gave up everything to become a de Nicola, and you think that I can't cry?!” She asks angrily. “My fucking parents

Mateo feels as if he has been caught in a hard position. He lied the whole time when he told his family that he was friends with the anonymous trillionaire, and now it has blown up in his face. He looks at the desperate face of his parents, and he can't bring himself to confess that he lied this whole time. So, he exhales and holds up his head with pride. “Okay, mum and Dad, I think you should calm down. The last time I heard from the anonymous trillionaire, he was very busy. He probably didn't even know about this, so just wait, I will need a few days to contact him.” The doctor then moves to check on his parents, especially his father, when two officials of the government walk into the room. Their eyes move around the room, and rest on Mateo. “Are you the junior Mister de Nicola?”Mateo frowns and rolls his shoulders. Have they come to fight him? He is prepared to defend himself and his family! “Yes? So what if I am. What do you want me to do for you?” “We need the keys to yo

After the hospital, they go to their house, but they can't even get out of the taxi. – Yes, they have to use a taxi because their cars have been confiscated. When they get to the house, they meet so many people in blue overalls taking their things out of the house, just like they feared. They can't bring themselves to get out. What if the paparazzi sees them? “This is not right.” Mateo's hands turn into balls. “Drive to our house.” Wendy says. “Quick, before those story hungry vampires notice us!” The taxi turns around, and they start to head back to the house where Wendy and Mateo live. She hates to have her in laws over there, but is she heartless that she is going to allow them to spend the night on the side of the street? When they get to the house, her heart falls because she suddenly realizes that she is just going to be as fucked as they are. Some men in blue overalls are throwing their clothes out of the house. Mrs de Nicola bends her head and starts to cry. Wendy i

Mateo can't sleep at night. Wendy is sleeping next to him, but he can't even sleep a wink. He stands up and goes to check on his patent. Thankfully, they are sleeping peacefully, and then he goes out to the balcony. He tries to call James many times, but the number is not going through. Of course, James must have him blocked. He knew that his cousin was good for nothing, but even this shocked Mateo to his bones. Since he can't reach his cousin, he decides to go into the living room and use the telephone. Thankfully, no one is in the living room, so he takes the telephone and goes out of the house. The night breeze is so cold that he feels his face turn stiff from the low temperature.“Hello?” James' undeniable voice sounds at the other end. “Wow. I thought that you would have the decency of changing your number after the evil that you have done to my family!” Mateo grits his teeth. “Now, why would I do that and make all my friends and business partners suffer to get in contac

Mateos sinks into a seat and drops his head into his hands.“Mister Mateo, I was expecting you. How has your morning been?” Gray asks with a humble smile. “Yeah, what do you think? My cousin stole everything that belonged to my family, and I had to spend the night with my in-laws. Do you know how humiliating that is for a man?” He huffs. “I don't expect you to understand, you are just another guy. I don't even know why I am speaking to you, I am here to speak to the anonymous trillionaire.” “Really?” Gray asks. “I didn't know that you had such a strict preference. Well, since he is not available, maybe you can speak to me. You don't know, maybe I would be very helpful to you.” Mateo snorts. The entire river would dry before Gray would be useful to him. “Look, I don't have the time for this joke, okay? So, I guess you give Alice a quick call and tell her that I demand to see the anonymous trillionaire today! I don't want to speak to a common employee like you.” Gray only smiles, e
