Wendy blink rapidly, and she shakes her head. This has got to be fake, this is not real enough for her. She takes out her phone to search for a picture of the Mars with his mask. She finds once and when she zooms in and pays attention to the details, she finds out that the hunch was right. This is the same mask in the picture, it even has a scratch from the picture. Her hands starts to shake, she can't believe what she is holding in her hand. What blows her mind the most is where did they get it from? The Mars is a very secretive man, so secretive that he has been in the army for five years and no one has been able to track him, or provide a picture of him without a mask. So, why is this here? She knows that Gray worked with the Mars for a brief time, but with all that has happened, she is not sure if there is any logical reason why the mask should be here. She hears some noise coming from behind her, so she throws the mask back into the box, puts the lid back on, and then move

“Now, take my bags and leave them somewhere safe. Also find something for our guests to drink.” Wendy instructs her. “Don't try anything funny, okay? I'm not joking with you.” She pushes her bags into Stacy's hand, and she walks to join the women. In a minute, they are laughing like they have been friends for decades. Stacy wishes that she didn't have anxiety, then maybe she would be the one laughing with the neighbors, but alas. She wishes that she can open her mouth and tell the women that she is the real Mrs Lance, but her lips won't aid her. She just sighs and puts the bags away, before going back into the kitchen and coming back with nine cups of fresh orange juice that she prepared herself. When she gets there, she serves the women and then Wendy snatches the last glass off the tray. “Ladies, this is my cousin, Stacy.” Wendy puts her hand on Stacy's shoulder. “She is staying with me because she is unmarried and now pregnant. Our family is mad at her, so I was the only one

The delivery man doesn't know why he is being invited into the house, but he enters anyway. He wants to see if this mansion looks as good as it is on the outside. The women were talking, but they immediately become silent when they see the huge bouquet that was being brought into the house in front of them. They couldn't help but gasp. They are simple women, who are all in their late thirties, or early forties. They probably went to only highschool, before being trained into becoming simple housewives. Their husbands are moderately rich, and Iike to live very quiet lives. They barely see such displays of love like this. Their husbands would buy them bouquets of flowers like this, they would consider this to be a total waste of money! The delivery man walks up to them with a respectful smile on his face. “Good day, ladies. I hope you are having a wonderful afternoon?” He looks around. “I am here for Mrs Lance, her husband just asked me to deliver these flowers to her.” Wendy smi

Wendy is satisfied with the image of herself that she sees in the mirror. She is wearing one of the dresses that she conned out of Stacy. She has her mother-in-law jewelry, but she is not going to put it on, not until they have gotten into the limousine. She loves her dress, she loves the sharp yellow and red color. She would look like a flame in front of everyone today, she loves it so very much!As for Mateo, she delivered a very expensive suit for him, surprising him. He asked where she got the money, but she waved off and told him not to worry.The truth is that she use the last of her money– down to the last dime– and she got him the suit. It provoked tears to her eyes, but she knows that it's a very worthy investment. If everything goes well as she has planned, then they will get many business opportunities, and might even get to speak to the anonymous trillionaire. That means that they will quickly become very rich again…A knock comes on the bathroom door, and she sighs bec

Stacy is very excited. Mister Devonté announced that she was going to be wearing one of his wonderful designs today, so many of the paparazzi are waiting outside the gala just to take pictures of her dress. She is nervous, but she is also very excited. Her career as a model has been so much more than she ever expected. Gray notices how much worried she is about how the night would go for her, so he reaches and takes her hand. “Everything will be fine, my love.” “So much is going on today,” she inhales deeply. “Can you believe that we are also going to see the anonymous trillionaire today?” He just smiles at her. He also has a surprise for her at the gala, but he is not going to tell her yet. Why ruin the excitement? He gently raises his hand to her belly and gives it a gentle rub. She is growing day by day, and soon, she is going to put to bed. Gray can't wait for that day. He plans to tell Stacy the entire truth as soon as he gives birth, and also, he wants to cleanse Westlan

Gray thinks that Stacy has suddenly become sick, so he places his hand over her forehead to make sure that her temperature is normal. “What's the matter, Stacy? You looked so white, like you had seen a ghost. What's the matter? Are you ill?” Stacy forces a smile on her face. She can't allow a dress to ruin her mood and that of Gray. What kind of selfish wife would she be to do that? “Nothing, Gray, you shouldn't worry. I'm just a little lightheaded because I stood up for too long.” She smiles, lying to him. Gray knows that it's not true, but he just smiles and pretends to believe her. He is going to be very vigilant, and he is going to make sure that she is fine. He keeps her eyes on her. The program kicks off immediately, two very popular celebrities take the stand and start to introduce people. Alice appears out of nowhere, even Stacy is surprised to see her. She smiles at Stacy, and even gives her a hug. “Oh my God, Stacy, your dress is very gorgeous! Look at how big your

Gray has a room filled with over twenty people that are to get him ready. They have been sworn to secrecy, and imagine what would happen to them if they ever leak his secret. As soon as he gets into the room, William bows and takes off his jacket. As soon as he is done, Gray gets into his chair and then people start to get him ready immediately. Alice has an earpiece in her ear, and she is moving up and down the room, making sure that everything is perfect. This is a big deal, this is going to be one of Gray's biggest appearances ever, even though his face won't still be revealed….Gray might be sitting in this room now, but his mind is back with his pregnant wife. “Alice, confirm that the special security team has their eyes on my wife.” Gray says. “Yes, sir. They are protecting her from a distance. The only person that has approached her is her cousin, and they just seem to be arguing.” Gray sighs. Yes, it's Wendy, but she isn't harmful enough. She can't hurt Stacy in any mean

Stacy holds both of her hands together, she is holding her breath, waiting for the anonymous trillionaire to come up. She doesn't know how they are going to do it. Has he prepared to reveal his face to everyone today? She doesn't know. She is so occupied with this thought, that she didn't notice that votes for the best dressed had just started.Wendy noticed this immediately, she notice the live recording of the votes coming through, on a small screen in the corner. Her name pops up, and she gasps. “Mateo, my name is on there! My name!” Mateo just rolls his eyes. He doesn't care about her winning best dress, he is paying more attention to the people around him, and even browsing the internet about what they do, or who they are. Mateo is trying to come up with a plan, so that he could pitch himself to them, letting himself in gently by initiating a casual conversation….Not Wendy, she is more concerned to turn to the people close to her and convince them to vote for her. “Hey, gi

Stacy can't believe her ears, did the richest man in the world just give a shout out to her? and on the world's biggest stage?! She feels her hands shaking as the spotlight falls on her. She feels a tear drop fall down her face. “Stacy Lance, I want to tell you that from the moment I have known you, you have been nothing but an inspirational woman.” He says. “Never stop being so incredible, never stop being you. Your husband is a very lucky man, and your child will be the luckiest that has ever lived.” Stacy holds her hand over her heart, she can't stop the tears from pouring more and more. She doesn't know what she has done to deserve this. Her eyes are filled with tears of gratitude. The anonymous trillionaire waves at everyone, holding his left hand over his chest, before he walks out. As soon as he leaves, the lights brighten up again, and it's as if the audience has watched the greatest film ever. Mateo is not clapping, because to him, the anonymous trillionaire didn't sa

Mateo takes off his jacket and immediately, he blends into the many servants that are going to and fro. He even picks up a tray, so that he would look busy enough to avoid suspicion around himself. Once he is cleared, he quickly gets into the elevator and presses the button. He knows that the anonymous trillionaire is going to be on the top floor, so he will be able to sneak in. The elevator ride is going smoothly, until it makes an unexpected stop at another floor. Mateo wasn't expecting that but he clears his throat and changes his demeanor to that of a waiter. When the person gets in, he is surprised to see that it's just his wife. They both stare at each other for a quick minute, before he angrily pulls her in and shuts the door again – before they will be caught! “What the hell is wrong with you? Why are you wandering all over the place?” “I just turned and you disappeared without saying a word to me. What was I supposed to do?!” She shouts back at him. “I am trying to f
