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.

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.)

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.

Joanna has been waiting for this day for a long time. It was unfortunate that she didn't get her when the raid happened at her house and she fled with her father, but she is ready to shoot her down now. They all walk into the office and shut the door, but Joanna doesn't let her guard down, she is still holding the gun, pointing it at Diane. Diane laughs and throws her hands in the air, in mockery. “Still have an attitude, I see.” “Joanna, drop the gun,” Angus says to her. “This is not the time and place, you know it.” “After what she did to me, everywhere is the place and whenever is the time.” Diane smiles as she leans against the table, she is totally not moved by the gun in her face. Lorenzo has a face as stiff as Joanna's. He wants to kill Diane as much as Joanna wants to, but he knows that Diane is Angus' sister and he respects him too much to do that. “You think you can mess with just anyone you want, huh?” Joanna draws closer.“Angus, okay, I think you need to put this b

She is not supposed to have gone into labor, she still has a few more days, and that's why Angus is taken by surprise. This is not a joke, she is squeezing her face in pain. “Argh! Jesus Christ!” She whimpers as she grabs the base of her belly. Angus rushes over to her, more confused than he has ever been in his life. She is suffering so much from the pain, that he has to sit down on the ground with her. She grabs his arm, squeezing the hell out of it as she bites down on her one hand. “Angus, it hurts!” Angus is so lost, that his brain has been wiped out. Everything has been arranged with the doctors and all, but he didn't expect her to go into labor so early. To be honest, he hasn't given himself a lecture on what to do when labor comes. He is like an unprepared student now! “Hey, baby, you are doing great.” He encourages her, even though he is nervous. “Then why does it feel like I'm fucking dying?!” She bares her teeth. “It's okay, just break okay?” Angus soothes her.

She has a scarf around her neck, luggage at her feet, and a bag in her hand. Angus can't move his tongue, he can't just believe the fact that Matilda is at his doorstep. After he begged and begged for her to come back with him. She sighs and looks down, like she is ashamed of being here. “Are you even going to act like you are happy to see me?” “Oh, Matilda, hi, come in.” He pulls her bag into the house, she walks in like a good guest. The head of his security comes at him, with a confused look on his face. “I'm sorry sir, we were going to turn her back, but she was angry.” The man apologizes. “Timothy said that she's your wife…” “Timothy is right, that's my wife.” Fear covers the face of the man, he can't believe that he almost turned away the wife of his boss. He would have lost his job. “I'm sorry, sir…” “You don

Angus has given this a good thought. He was going to leave her alone, but he decided against it. If there is one thing about Matilda that hasn't changed throughout the years, she can be as stubborn as a mule. If he lets her be, she is going to keep refusing to speak to him, even if it's going to break her down completely. She scoffs at his audacity to come up to her after she threatened to call the police. “Are you kidding me, Angus?” She frowns. “I am going to call the cops!”“Okay, Matilda, you can do that.” He shrugs. “Even if they arrest me, I'm going to just keep coming back, and guess who is going to get tired first?” She glares at him, squeezing her lips together. “You think you can bully me into forgiving you?” She puffs. “You think I'm going to fall for that?” Angus sighs, it seems that her stubbornness has increased over the months. “Look, Matilda, I've been getting your hospital reports.” He says. “Your doctor has advised that you are to be monitored as your date ge

If she knows everything, if she has her full memory back, that means that there is nothing that Angus can do or say that is going to change her mind now. He has a long face, she is staring at him with her lower lip between her teeth. “Yeah, I know it all.” She lets out a painful chuckle. “I know that you worked for me, I know that I had a crazy fiance and I know that you killed him!” “Matilda….” “Oh, I sure as hell know that you are not seriously trying to speak now!” She silences him. “After all you have done?! Are you even serious?!” Angus looks down, running his hand through his face. Everything has crumbled to the ground, he knows that she is not going to forgive him. Can he even ask for her forgiveness? She walks around, looking at him with so much raging hate that she wants to punch his face. “You abandoned me when Greg fucking shot me!” She screams. “What kind of psycho are you?!” “Matilda, you don't understand!” He tells her. “Did you realize that everyone around me w
