This is supposed to be a moment for Stacy to celebrate and say that karma has been working very hard for her, but she can't do that. Her cousin is now homeless, together with her rich husband and his family. She feels sorry for Wendy, she knows that it's not easy for her. She heard that they now stay at the Blanchards, so she is indecisive, if she should go and wish them the best. Maybe a phone call is better, but she isn't sure at all. She goes into her closet that is so full, that she doesn't even know which clothes to wear on some days. She looks at it for a while, then she starts to pull some clothes out. She is growing heavier with pregnancy, that means some of the clothes won't fit her anymore. But they will fit Wendy. She puts them in a small bag, and then even adds two pairs of shoes. Never worn before. She gets ready, locks up the house, and gets into the car. She doesn't know if her auntie would be happy to see her, she doesn't know how her cousin's going to react to

Gray Lance, like her ex husband, the current husband of her cousin? Or is there another Gray Lance that she has never heard of? Suddenly, the river of tears dried from her eyes. Surely Mateo doesn't know what he is talking about, because he is normally a very jealous person and now he is asking her to seduce her ex husband? Or is this a sort of test? She chuckles as she comes and sits down next to Mateo. “What is this now? A test to see if I will be loyal to you even in this trying time?” “No, Wendy, I am fucking serious. Like as serious as a heart attack?” “And you want me to seduce Gray. That's your grand plan?” Mateo aggressively runs his hand over his chin. “Look, are you going to do it or not?” “No!” She shakes her head. “How dare you even ask a thing like that from me? I can't seduce a poor man like Gray Lance, ew.” It's so funny that Wendy is not rejecting this because Gray is her cousin's husband, she is rejecting it because she believes that he is too poor for her. Ma

“No,no,no,no,” she reaches out to hold Gray's hand as she begs for his mercy. “Let me tell you the truth, I didn't want to tell you anything before, but I will. I didn't want to come here, Mateo forced me. He thinks that you have the key to give back his parents everything they lost, so he used me as a scapegoat.” She is crying, but Gray is just staring back at her. She forgot that he knows her too well, he knows that she is an excellent liar, and an actress. Seeing that her acting is not going to save her, she stops immediately and wipes her tears. “Fine.” She mutters. “Just stop reading me like a book and staring at me with so much judgement.” “You are not in any way sorry, you just want the picture gone.” “Do you know how long it took me to get Mateo? It's hard to find a wealthy man who was willing to give me what I want? You think that is easy? Mateo was not generous at the beginning, so I had to fend for myself by entertaining other men." “I don't care what you do with your

When Gray walks in, it's so quiet that even a falling pin would have been heard. He walks in casually, Mateo's eyes grow darker the closer Gray gets to him. “Wow, Gray, you are always there, somehow mingled in my business. Is this coincidence, huh?” “Coincidence?” Gray chuckles. “I'm just doing my job, man.” “I highly doubt that, Mister. Because this is my vicinity, and these are my people. Even if you hate to admit it, you have just inserted yourself into my business all over again!” Gray just smiles, turning away from Mateo, as if he doesn't matter, and he turns back to the men. “Good evening, gentlemen. I know that you don't know who I am, but don't worry, I will introduce myself. My name is Gray Lance, and I'm many things to many people, but today I am standing in front of you as the mouthpiece of the anonymous trillionaire.” “The anonymous trillionaire!” These men turn to each other and speak to each other. “Yes, the anonymous trillionaire. The new leader of this pack, t

The Blanchard and de Nicola family are eating dinner at the table. Luckily, it's big enough to take everyone. Tension is tight, Brittany looks like she would fall and die from exhaustion, she can barely feel her feet right now. She still manages to drag herself around and serve everyone. Like she is a slave or something. “Thank you, Brittany, you have been working so hard for us since you came.” Mrs de Nicola smiles. “It's nothing, really.” Brittany looks down. “This is what I have been made for, really. I am glad that I can do this now.” She joins to finally sit down, and she checks the bowl, but there is hardly anything left in it for her to eat. She drops her hands loudly to the side, and she immediately sighs. She is holding back tears with everything she has.“Wow, Brittany, you're making this about yourself again,” Dan huffs. Brittany looks up with her eyes glistening with tears. “All I want is a little more food, Dan. Don't I deserve that? After slaving in the kitchen f

Wendy stares at the invitation, and she clasp her hand over her mouth. This is something that she has been hoping for all of her life! This is the gala of a lifetime! She can't miss this! They can't miss this! “Mateo, we have to go.” “What do you want us to wear, fucking rags?” He growls. “They are trying to embarrass us, that's why they sent this invitation! They know that we are now poor, and they think they can use this opportunity to mock us–” “Shush.” Wendy place her hand over his lips. “What if I tell you that I can get us ready in time for this. Then will you agree to go?” Mateo huffs. If, by some miracle, they can attend the gala, maybe he can still save his family's face. When he gets there, maybe he can talk to the anonymous trillionaire, and he will finally listen to him, and return his family to tehri last glory….And also put Gray Lance under check, because Gray has been too comfortable with pointing a gun in his face….“So, if we are going to go, then how are we go

After Wendy has hid the jewelry, she goes about her day like nothing happened. She even went out with some of her friends to drink and forget her sorrows for a bit. When she comes back to the house, she is met with a commotion in the house. Mrs de Nicola is crying hysterically, as she tears the house down, looking for something. “Honey, are you sure that you brought it with you?” Her husband sighs as he follows her around. “I did! I had it with me when we were kicked out of the house, and I hid it immediately! It's my most prized possession, where has it gone?!” She cries. Everyone is helplessly standing around. They have helped to look through everything , but they can't find it. They can just watch her cry now…Mateo sighs as he walks to his mother and puts his hand on her shoulder. “Mum, don't worry, I promise that I will get you an even better one when all of our problems finally go away.” “Oh, don't tell me that, Mateo!” She wails. “Your father gave it to me thirty years ag

Stacy looks at her phone, she just got the weirdest text message from Wendy. She is sitting down at the kitchen island, and in front of her is a golden invitation card for the business gala, yes, they were invited too. Or rather, the anonymous trillionaire has been invited, and Gray is going on his behalf. She will be his plus one. This has got to be the most important thing that she is going to attend in her life, and she has just gotten off the phone after speaking to Mister Devonté, and he agreed to style her. She tilts her head in confusion as she stares at the text message. She might be just be crazy, but the Wendy she knows would never use her money or time to do anything for charity. Wendy is very selfish and cares for only one person in her life– Wendy. Since Stacy doesn't fully understand the message, she tries to call Wendy, but she just rudely ends the call. “DON'T CALL ME, OKAY?! I AM BUSY!!! ARE YOU WILLING TO DONATE– YES OR NO?!” Wendy is so rude, why can't she

When Stacy opens the door, Wendy peeks through and twists her head left and right, she has to make sure that Gray is not in the house. Since their last clash, she has been avoiding him. “Please, tell me that your husband is not at home.” “No, he is not. Why are you asking such a weird question?” Wendy heaves as she gets into the house, tucking some hair behind her ear.“You should feel very honored to donate to my charity.” Wendy smiles. “You will be in God's good book too.” Stacy doesn't sound so convinced by her sweet words. “Okay? So, what's the name of your charity?” Wendy scratches her head, she didn't think of a befitting name for her charity organization. “Pretty dresses,” she shrugs. “It's not the name that counts, it's the thought behind it.” Wendy is so excited that she leads the way into the bedroom, and she heads straight to the closet. When she pushes the slide door, her eyes widen with joy. This is her dream closet. She can't believe that her poor cousin is hav

All the dresses are so beautiful, so how is she only supposed to pick four? Stacy is such a selfish person! “Oh, look, a black diamond handbag!” Stacy greedily snatches the bag from the shelf. “Oh, no, that's my favorite bag! You can't have that!” Stacy shakes her head as she quickly takes it from Wendy. Wendy snarls as she snatches the bag back. “Well, who said anything about taking the bag? I only want to have a close look at it, just relax.”She runs her hand over the bag, and she feels the expensiveness of the bag. Oh Lord, she would have killed to have a bag like this, but her stupid cousin has it without a struggle? Argh! Since she can't take the bag, she decides to do the next best thing– take a couple of pictures with it. If she can't flaunt it in real life, she is going to flaunt it on the Internet. She is going to take a few pictures of it, and then all her fans are going to think that she is very rich, like she was before the de Nicolas lost everything…But she is too
