Angus lowers the gun and puts his hand against his bleeding side. Ashley is so surprised by his presence, that she can't even move or say a word. He winces and that's when her senses kick in. She rushes over to him and looks down at his wound. “Oh my God, Angus, what have you done?” She asks with fear in her eyes. “I need your help, okay?” Angus says to her. Yes, Ashley ruined his life when he was married to her, and she treated him like shit, but she will definitely not sell them out to whoever wants to kill them. After he has informed her quickly of the situation, she goes to the front door and unlocks it. Diane is waiting patiently, her hands folded across her chest. Diane and Ashley hold eye contact for a while, but Ashley then widens the door and allows Diane to enter. “Angus, who is she?” Ashley asks. “A friend.” Angus sinks himself into her seat. Diane looks around the house, it's a big house. “She lives alone?” Diane asks. “Cos, I will kill her myself if any of tho
Joanna has returned to the state of Avalon, after being with Angus in Wintown for months now. Her flight was private, she was one in the plane, and they did not reach their destination till midnight. She gets out of the plane with her small luggage, holding her phone and wondering who she will call that won't be too bothered to come and pick her up. She looks ahead and sees Lorenzo leaning against a black Ferrari. It has just finished raining like twenty minutes back so the ground is wet and the place is kind of chilly. He tosses the extra cardigan in his hand to her and unlocks the door of the passenger seat. “Welcome home. Get in.” “Did you seriously come to the airport to pick me up in the middle of the night without any security?” She huffs. “Are you kidding me, Lorenzo? Have you forgotten what happened to Owens?” “You aren't even here for five minutes and you are already driving me nuts.” He complains. “Get into the damn car.” He takes her luggage and puts it in the bac
Angus is filled with so much rage that he doesn't even put a single drop of food in his mouth. Incredibly, he was able to hold his emotions until the plane touched down. He quickly makes arrangements for him to fly out of the state the same day, after he concludes his business with Diane Salvador. He doesn't change his clothes, he doesn't even drink water, he makes his way straight to the military headquarters. He needs answers and he wants to hear it straight from the mouths of the horses. How is it that El Salvador, the baddest Mafia leader has found its way into the good books of the country?! Why is he being given appointments with the government when every one of them knows that he is what they are fighting against? They almost brought him down, but Angus was the one who asked them to hold on because he was trying to get more evidence against him, and also get his revenge. With raging wrath, Angus walks into the military base. He is well known by even the youngest recruits
Even though Jeremy tries to stop them, it doesn't work. Against all odds, Diane and Matilda choose to still have the lunch, there is nothing that he can do. The women walk into a five-star restaurant and both of them are talking, laughing at their jokes. “I'm sure that Angus is so lucky to have you.” Diane smiles. “You are very beautiful, funny and you are even planning to open her own company.” “Well, I guess I am the lucky one.” Matilda gives a short laugh. “he loved me when no one really did.” A waiter comes to the table and drops an expensive bottle of wine in front of them, to the surprise of both women. “We didn't order this, are you sure you haven't made a mistake?” Diane asks with a cold face. “It's not a mistake, ma'am, the manager recognizes you as the daughter of Mister Salvador and he wants to give you a good welcome to our restaurant with that bottle of wine.” The waiter explains. “Oh, in that case, I guess it's ours.” Diane briefly reads the label before the boy
Her elbow is against his throat, any slight movement and she adds more pressure. “Worked for Lorenzo Rodriguez, huh?” She nods. “The same man who replaced the man my father killed? The man who works for my father's worst enemies?!” Angus sighs, somewhat relieved that this has to do with Lorenzo and not his identity. She mistakes his sight for something else and she pushes her elbow into his throat until he winces. “Forgive me, I didn't know I was supposed to give you a detailed list of every fucking person I've worked for on this planet.” He hiss. “Well, if the person works for the one family my father hates the most, then you surely do.” She says. “I'm going to ask you only once, who is the Anonymous heir?” “You will have to kill me because I don't know.” He answers. “I worked for Lorenzo Rodriguez and not some rich man that is too scared to step into the light.” She is not fazed by what he has said, she doesn't believe a single word that has come out of his mouth. “Don't lie
Angus knows that Diane almost finding out is just a sign, very soon everything is going to be out in the light. He has to work fast if he still wants this revenge. He wants it for his family, for Owens, and for every Innocent person that El Salvador has wronged. Angus keeps this at the back of his mind as he goes back to work for El Salvador. He lies to the man, being as loyal as he can be, but he is busy gathering his plans together. Angus personally delivers sensitive parcels to El Salvador's associates, sometimes Mister Moore too. Angus is going to take them down too when this happens, he is not going to leave any one of them to escape. He is on one of those kinds of trips– he has delivered and is now heading back – when his phone rings. It's an unsaved number. He picks and places it against his ear. “Angus?” “That's me.” “It's Julius. Come back to the mansion right now.” Call ends. There is no explanation whatsoever, Angus has never been called my Julius, this is out of
The ride to wherever it is they are heading to is silent. She keeps to herself while he drives the car. But he decides to break the silence. “I'm surprised that you didn't tell your father about my former employer.” He says. “Why? You have a death wish?” She snorts. “You are supposed to thank me, I'm the only reason you are alive.” “I guess it's mutual because I saved your ass back at that hotel.” He smiles. “So, you're welcome, I guess.” She smiles too. She is even more beautiful when she smiles. “Where are we heading to?” He asks, seeing that the tension between them has lessened. “A business exchange.” She answers. “Something I'm trying to do without my father knowing, you are the only one I'm sure is going to keep this a secret.” Does Diane Salvador trust him? That's totally new. She is going to have the shock of her life when she finds out that he has been putting on a fake facade this whole time. “I see…” He keeps driving, the steering wheel is very smooth in his hands
Angus's shoulders fall. He didn't come here today with the intention to kill anyone. He just watched El Salvador kill that man and it has put him in a shitty mode. Why would he kill someone to make his day any shittier? Diane is looking at him, she is waiting for him to take the gun and kill the stealing fellow. Rakeem on the other hand looks desperate for Angus to take the gun. He wants to prove to Diane that he doesn't have a part in this. Angus sees that Diane is slightly frowning at him, he is disrespecting her in front of these men, that's when he says fuck it and takes the gun. In less than five seconds, he has taken the gun, shot the guy dead, he reloads, and lets the empty cartridge fall to the ground. He checks the magazine and hands the gun back to a shocked Rakeem. The man is lying still on the ground, he has not a single breath left in him. Angus' jaws clenched in anger as he picks up all the bags in his hands. “Can we go now?” He calmly asks Diane. “Nice doing b
