All the noise immediately died down and everyone lowers their eyes in respect for the greatest man that has ever lived. Mateo and Wendy are in awe of him, they have never gotten so close to the anonymous trillionaire, and they are blown away by the divine aura that is around him. Mateo drops the gun in reflex, he falls to his knees, he doesn't even know when they just give way. For the first time in her life, Wendy is shaken by the presence of another man. He is indeed so great. “Who are these people that have come to disturb my peace?! Miss Yashin, am I not supposed to be in my hotel room by now?!” He barks so heavily that everyone and everything shakes. “I apologize, sir.” Alice keeps her eyes down. “I was just going to confirm if the cars are ready, when these people burst in and demand to see you.” Mateo takes this as his god given cue to speak, so he gives life to his legs and stands up to his feet. He takes a step forward and clutches his fisted left hand over his chest.

No one was expecting Wendy to suggest such a thing, but Wendy is not to be underestimated. Even Mateo wasn't expecting this, but Stacy is a pawn that he is ready to sacrifice to win in this game of chess. The anonymous trillionaire is quiet at first. Then he takes a few steps closer and looks Wendy in the eyes. “Correct me if I am wrong, Miss Wendy. The lady in question is supposed to be your cousin?” He asks. Stacy scoffs. “Because she is my cousin doesn't mean that I shouldn't speak up in the face of injustice. Stacy and her husband have been stealing from you, sir. They have turned your beautiful mansion into their personal property, and they have turned it into a party house.” Mateo knows that this is wrong, he tries to nudge Wendy to turn it down a little, but she is too caught up in her lies…“Mrs de Nicola, I suggest that you put an end to your godless lies, immediately!” Alice snarls. She is absolutely disgusted by what she is hearing. Wendy looks at Alice with her nose

Immediately everyone sees how fear stricken they look once they see that it's Gray, everyone starts to laugh. Alice pulls her hands from behind her, to show that she was never restrained in the first place. She joins the rest of them to laugh. Mateo and Wendy are shaken to their core, they don't fully understand what is happening. They jump up to their feet and start to look angrily into the faces of those mocking them. “What kind of sick joke is this?!” Mateo blasts them. “You think it's funny to deceive us?! How dare you pretend to be your boss?! We are going to report this to him!” Mateo barks like a mad dog. Even Wendy is so mad that she wasted her time with all of this. “That's very funny, Mister Mateo, and Wendy. You both ought to be actors because you did so well.” “This is madness, we are out of here!” Mateo aggressively waves them off, grabs Wendy's hand, and starts to pull her towards the door. But before they can go, some of the guards stand in front of them, stop

“Haha! More jokes from you people!” Wendy can't hold her laughter! This is the biggest prank of the century, and she is not willing to convince herself otherwise. Mateo is not laughing, he feels himself sweating so much, even when there are air conditions in the room. He keeps staring at Mateo, looking deep into his eyes, and his fears are getting confirmed. Those eyes were the same ones that he saw that day, when the Mars held him captive with the president and the generals. Those cold eyes that were angry at all the unjust happening in the world, those eyes were hungry for justice… yeah. Those are the same eyes staring back at him. How did Mateo miss this? Gray was fearless, Gray shot guns with the precision of an ancient assassin archer, Gray had the audacity of a thousand men, so HOW did he even miss this?! “Oh, God, Mateo breathes as he stands up to his feet. “This is a bad dream! This is a bad dream!” He is doomed. He is going to be killed because of so many times that h

Mateo feels his heart crash in his chest. “But, sir, I can't kill your wife.” Mateo breathes heavily with sadness. “How can I kill her? The moment I walk towards her with bad intent, you are going to kill me!” “Exactly.” Gray nods. “So, is it a sacrifice that you are willing to make?” “Please, sir, I can't do it. It's only going to result in my death, and I will never get to see Wendy again. She might be a terrible person, but she is still my wife and I love her.”Gray doesn't show him any pity, instead he laughs. “You think that this is a joke? How are you not doing as I have asked you?!” Mateo is shaking like a fish out of water. “Please, sir, please don't force me to do this. It's true that I have been a very bad person to you and your dear wife, but spare my life and that of my wife. My parents are old and willing to survive if anything happens to me. I am struggling to give them back what my cousin stole from them, I'm their only hope, don't allow them to die from the pain of

Stacy has one of the best sleeps of her life that she doesn't wake up till noon. When she wakes up, she yawns and stretches so hard before even opening her eyes. She sits up and only then does she open her eyelids and she jerks because she sees Mateo de Nicola on his knees, scrubbing her bedroom floor. She screams and throws a pillow at him. This has got to be a fever dream, there is no way that what she is seeing is real. THE Mateo de Nicola is not cleaning her house!!“Ouch!” Mateo shields his head.Stacy blinks with fear. It's indeed him, and she hit him with a pillow. “Oh my God, Mateo, I'm sorry that I hit you with that pillow.” Stacy stands up. Mateo stands up to his feet, and he takes the pillow, which he drops on the bed. “It's alright, I'm the one who was wrong. I should have waited for you to get up before cleaning your room.” Okay, this is not a dream, but that doesn't make this any less crazy. She holds her hands over her head, because she seems to be getting crazy

Mateo looks up at her, and he chuckles. “Oh, Mrs Lance! Your breakfast is going to be ready soon! You can watch some television while I finish up here!” Stacy walks up to him as slowly as she can. When she gets close enough, she slowly lowers the heat of the cooker. “I'm sorry, Mateo, but I think that you are in the wrong house.” She says. “Now, I don't know what kind of game this is, but I don't want to believe that you are in my house, cooking for me like you are a servant or something.” “But that's what I am, Mrs Lance. I am the latest servant in this house.” he says with pride. “I'm sorry, what?” She laughs. “Does Gray know this? Is he in on this prank?” She is laughing, but Mateo is not. He can't understand why it's too hard for her to believe that he is now a servant. “Mrs Lance, you don't need to be disturbed by this. See, the anonymous trillionaire heard that I didn't have any job to support myself, so he asked me to come and become a servant in this house. So, it's par

Mateo is not happy to see that the president is trying to call him right now, he doesn't like that at all. Since the anonymous trillionaire has given him a second chance, and an opportunity to free Wendy and also give his family a second chance, he doesn't want anything to do with the president. If he ever goes against Gray, he knows that he won't be forgiven again. So, he breathes heavily and looks around, to make sure that Stacy is not close enough to hear him. Then he picks up the call. “Hello, Mr. President?” “Where are you now? I want you to turn on your television right now!” Mateo rolls his eyes. “I'm very busy now, I don't think I can do that.” “Don't say that to me, Mister de Nicola! Turn on the television right now.” Mateo curses under his breath, but he walks to the television and turns it on. Just like he expected, news was being reported about the president. “Ladies and gentlemen, the anonymous trillionaire just made known his stance on the war between Mars and t

By evening, Mateo and Wendy spend the entire day cooking different varieties of food. He never gave himself the time to actually know his wife's cousin, and now that he has spent a few hours with her, he finds out that Stacy might just be one of the last good people in the world. With the little time he spent with her, the more he regretted how badly he allowed his wife to influence him to hate Stacy. He wishes that he can just take all of that back…As they are putting the excess food in the refrigerator, Gray walks into the house with William. Stacy and Mateo stop working as soon as they see them. She rushes to hug her husband, she is always excited to see him. “Oh God, you look so busy, what have you been doing?” He chuckles as he gives her a light kiss. Mateo stands gingerly in the corner. “Um, she was teaching me how to cook. Welcome home, Mister Lance.” He is trying his hardest to stop himself from bowing to the ground to greet Gray. He knows that Gray wouldn't like that

Mateo feels a chill all over him, he can't believe that he escaped death so easily. Never did he even think that the anonymous trillionaire would clone his phone, but that was stupid of him to be so ignorant. What if he had said something and even suggested that he would have helped the president, he would have been dead now. Gray sees how he is literally turning white with fear, so he chuckles and hits the top of the car. “Off you go, then. Make sure you come back in time tomorrow.” Mateo steps on the gas and drives back home, rather to his in-law's house. It's late, the sky is dark and all he wants to do is rest. He has never worked this hard in his life…When he opens the door, he is surprised to see three members of the police force sitting in the living room with his parents, Mrs Blanchard, and Dan Blanchard. Mrs Blanchard is sobbing and trying to speak at the same time, it's a total disaster and a sad situation. They all turn to look at him as soon as he opens the door.
