Angus knows that this is not going to end well, not with the number of people that are waiting outside for him, not with the long guns that they are holding. Even with that, there is still very little he can do, he stays in the car with his chin against his hand. He keeps his eyes on Byron, like a hawk. Byron is pretending that his heart is not racing in his chest, but it's obvious that he is scared of these guys. His father has asked him to come here and speak to them, know who sent them into the town, and just make peace with them. He didn't want to come, but his brother and father have been thinking that he is a pussy. This is the right time to show them that he is not. One of them steps forward, he is probably the leader. He looks scary as hell with his intimidating height and huge tattoos, but Byron keeps walking forward. "Mister Moore called and I don't see Mister Moore!" The leader snorts. "Are you people now playing games with us?!" "Mister Moore is my father, fear no
Angus is successful in getting the hospital to admit the boy, Manny. There is nothing wrong with the boy, he just seems to have a nasty fall, that's all. Angus asks them to keep him while he waits for Lorenzo to come to the hospital. He is not going to allow a wannabe terrorist to ruin something that he has been planning for a long time now. He walks through and fro, impatiently counting the minutes that go by before Lorenzo comes. Finally, Lorenzo arrives, he is rushing down the hall, with his hand placed against his face. He is in such a hurry. "You are late." Angus scowls at him. "Sorry, boss, I had a few things I needed to do…" "The boy is in there." Angus points to the door. They both walk in, the boy seems to be having a beauty sleep, not a single care in the world. "He is nothing serious, just a tyrant that my father-in-law asked me to take care of till he wakes up. The issue is that he seems to recognize me from the time I worked in the military." Angus says. "That
Matilda is in front of the fashion shop, she is about to get in to buy the shoes that she needs. Just two pairs, that's all that she is getting. They don't have a lot of money right now, she has to be content. She takes her phone out to call Angus. It's his card that she is about to use, she has to tell him first. He picks up almost immediately. "Hello, wifey, what's up?" "Angus, how is your day going?" She asks. "Pretty good.""I'm in Bandor, I came to buy some good shoes for work. I'm about to use your card." She sighs. "Do you mind?" "Not at all, babe. There isn't much money on it, but go ahead and have fun, buy whatever you want." She smiles as she looks at the ground. Angus is actually very impressed with how content she is with the little they have. After all this has ended, the first thing he is going to do is to give her a black card, without limit. "I'll be home really soon, don't worry about me." She says. "Okay, love. I will make dinner before you come back." "B
Matilda falls into her thoughts as soon as she gets into the taxi. She can't believe that she is about to be connected back to her old life, she is going to get in contact with her past. She doesn't know exactly how to feel about this. Her heart is beating with both fear and excitement. She gets to the house in a good time and the moment she opens the front door, the smell of food wafts into her nose. It's a small house, but gosh, the aroma is everywhere. She immediately sees Angus in the kitchen, with an apron around his waist. He looks up at her with the most beautiful smile, he looks so sexy in the kitchen. "Hey, love." He says to her. "Hey, husband." "You are just at the right time, come sit." He pulls a chair for her. Their small dining table is already in the kitchen and it has just two chairs. Despite this, the table has a big bowl of noodles and meatballs, they make her mouth water. "Jesus, Angus, I think you should cook every day." She laughs as she sits down. H
Joanna immediately swings into action, she has to appease Angus immediately. Lorenzo is kind enough to help her with information, about where Matilda is working, so it's easy to fix a "coincidental meeting." She walks into the building, pretending that she has come in for business. She walks into the building, turning necks as she goes. She gets over to Matilda's table, pretending to read through a paper that is in her hand. "Hi, can you help me? I need to-" She stops as soon as they make eye contact, and both woman drop their jaws. "Oh my God, it's you!" Joanna points at her. "Joanna, hi!" Matilda stands up to her feet. She is excited to see Joanna, her good friend from her past, but she doesn't know if she should hug her. She is not sure of the depth of the friendship that they had. Joanna takes the bold step and gives her a quick side hug. "You work here? I had no idea!" "I just started a week ago, I'm sorry that I never called you back." "Come on, Matilda, it's nothin
Jonathan sees the bloodcurdling look of disgust on her face, but he immediately laughs it off. "Look at me, Matilda, let's forget what happened at the party." He says. "I am the god here, I can make you the manager and even do more for you. But the best part is that you don't even have to fight for these jobs if you accept to be mine. I will make you my wife and you won't have to work again." "Have you gone mad?!" She is dumbfounded. "Are you crazy? Why are you asking another man's wife to marry you?!""A man?" He snorts a laugh. "My dear, I won't call that dick less fellow you married a man. I see you jump into taxis every day, I see you wear cheap clothes and my heart bleeds for you. What kind of man allows his wife to suffer like that?" "Stop it, just stop it!" She presses her hands over her ear. "If you don't leave me alone, I promise you that this will end ugly." "Matilda, Matilda, Matilda." He sucks through his teeth. "Is it because I asked you to love me again, is that why
The next day, Matilda sleeps very soundly. Angus doesn't bother to wake her up, even though it's almost ten o'clock. He prepares breakfast for her and then leaves her a small note on the bed. He gets ready to visit Jonathan and then he leaves the house in his car. He is dressed in a white shirt and black pants, very simple. Because he means business, Jonathan is going to regret doing this to Matilda. Angus gets to the company and leaves his car in the parking space. When he is done, he walks to the front door. Luckily, the doorman is not rude, he lets Angus in. Angus speaks to the reception and soon, he is waiting in the waiting room. He stays there for almost thirty minutes, even though there seems to be no one else there with him. Finally, a woman walks out of the office and informs Angus that he can enter. Angus stands to his feet and walks into the office. He sees Jonathan, they make eye contact and the first thing that Jonathan does is snort. "It's you, in the flesh,
Matilda comes to the office the next day, after taking a day off. Angus was right, taking the day off has really helped her, she has been refreshed and happy to work again. Fuck Jonathan, he isn't going to dictate her happiness. Imagine her horror when she walks into the office and finds out the few of the workers that have arrived ate whispering to each other in secrecy. She knots a frown and looks around, what are they talking about? She slips into her seat and thankfully, her closest friend here, She immediately gives her a smile, which Matilda returns. "What's up with the buzz? What's everyone talking about?" She asks, looking over her shoulder. "So, you didn't read the thousands of messages that Jeremy left in the group chat." Her friend says. "Apparently, the boss has decided to take back the promotion and Jeremy isn't too happy with himself." "What?!" Matilda's smile disappeared. "To God, he threw every insult imaginable unto man at Jonathan, and he even threatened to
