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
It's festive mood again in the Moore residence, Byron and Jade are getting engaged for the fourth time. Jade's father has put his foot down. The two either get married or go their separate ways, so an engagement and a wedding are going to take place really soon. Jade is stoked, she can't wait to be married to Byron, even though they are nothing but toxic people. It's busy air around the house, Angus drives in the morning to see that decorations are being set up. He minds his business and goes on to wash the cars, he barely gives those decorating a glance. Byron comes up to him, still dressed very simply. Angus looks over his shoulder, not sure if this is a friendly meeting or otherwise. "Shouldn't you not be working today?" Byron asks. "I'm getting engaged." "Yeah, that doesn't mean that your father doesn't have places to go to, and I must take him."Byron watches Angus keep on cleaning the cars, his silence is heavy. "So, um, I'm not trying to be friendly or anything, but if
Mister Owens looks like he has seen a ghost, his jaw is on the ground. Angus provided him with no information about Matilda, or her family, so Mister Owens didn't really make any connection. He can't believe that Angus, his boss, is being led to the end of the table, close to the noise of the kitchen. Mister Owens almost loses his manners and bows to Angus, but thanks God that he can hold himself. His hands are in tight fists, that's just how much restraint he has to put on himself. He looks around and notices that everyone has seen this strange reaction from him, so he clears his throat and smiles at everyone. "Sorry for my behavior, this young man looks like one of the young men I worked with years ago, but it can't be him because the boy in question died." He explains himself. "Well, there are seven billion of us on the face of this planet, I'm sure God tends to run out of faces after a while." Mister Moore jokes. A few people laugh and Angus immediately puts himself togeth
Lorenzo and Joanna meet up at one of the top restaurants in the city. Although they have been staying in the city close to the town, to aid Angus whenever he needs them, they hardly have met up casually. Joanna holds a grudge against him because, from the moment that she sits at the table with him, she has kept her eyes glued on the menu, avoiding talking or looking at him. "What's the use of a meeting if we are not going to even speak to each other?" He sighs. "Hmm, I thought we were supposed to be eating." She turns the menu. "What good is talking supposed to do for us?" "I can't believe that you are behaving as if I was the one who asked to go after Matilda." Lorenzo looks at her with a frown. "I warned you not to!" She slaps the menu on the tables and faces him with a glare. "Not everything has to be about you." She snorts. "Stop flattering yourself." "Oh, it does. Especially when I have to clean up your mess." He says to her. "Fuck you, Lorenzo." She tells him. A few p
"Whoever it is that has the guts to take the business of the town to the military!" Mister Moore goes off. Angus is driving him back from mass – for whatever reason, this man chose to attend mass this evening. (It's probably because of Jade's father, he wants to appear to be more devoted.) Angus can't keep up with the man's angry bursts as he curses out whoever it was that called the military on him. It's his town! Why and what do they want from it?! What have they done to make it better?! Fucking dickheads. Angus looks at them through the mirror, the man is swelling with anger about the issue, and Angus is afraid that he might burst. "Do you need me to stop at the car shop, sir?" Angus looks at him through the mirror. "You said you wanted to pick up a new model…" "Not today, Angus." He waves it off. "We can do it another day." Angus nods and keeps driving. If not for patience and how badly he wants to achieve his goal, this man is so insufferable. Angus' phone rings, it's Mat
Angus had no idea that Mister Moore had been ordered to look for him, no idea in the world. This man is still trying to kill him?! After he has taken out his entire family? How wicked can this man be?! "Sir, it's a long process, but I am slowly getting close to it." Mister Moore says. "I will find him, I promise you that."El Salvador hums as he stands up to his feet. He is wearing simple, but very expensive clothes. His slippers are woven with gold threads and his Arabian robe is made from expensive silk. The leader of the guards comes into the room, holding his gun behind him."Mister Moore…" "Yes, my lord." "Do you realize how long that I have sorted to end that bloodline?" He walks casually to the window, staring at the night sky. Angus keeps his blood boiling on the inside of him. Staying still while he hears this man talk his nonsense has to be one of the hardest things that he has ever had to do. He keeps his arms clasped in front of him to avoid them turning into fists
By the next morning, a new profile had been fixed for Angus.Early before even Matilda could have woken up to go to work, he had already gotten ready and gone over to drive her father to El Salvador's house. The sky is still dark, the early morning breeze is chilly and uncomfortable. Angus gets to the house, but he keeps the engine of the car running, or else he is going to freeze to death. He sends Mister Moore a quick text and he remains in the car. In five minutes, Mister Moore walks out of the house in a heavy coat, Angus is surprised that the man is leaving his house very early. Angus wants to get out of the car, but Mister Moore gets into the front seat. "Good morning, sir." Angus greets his in-law. "Oh, son, I don't think there is anything good about the fucking morning." He mutters. "I would have stayed in my damn bed if El freaking Salvador wasn't the one I am going to meet." Angus says nothing in between the man's complaints. He puts the key back in. "Should I driv
