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
Angus stands still for long minutes, the cold breeze of the evening is blowing against his face, but he doesn't react at all. It's like he is numb. Diane Salvador is his elder sister. How in God's name is this possible? Such a huge plot twist, is God trying to play a fast one of him? So the reason why El Salvador has been sorting to clear out his bloodline is because of what his mother did to El Salvador. Angus runs his fingers through his hair, for the first time in a long time he is confused and doesn't know what to do. He turns around and looks at the door. Matilda is probably asleep already. He makes sure that the front door is locked, and he turns around and walks to a bar. Even though it's very late at night, the bar is still open. Angus walks in and orders the strongest alcohol that they have around. He sits there, distantly hearing the laughter of the men and women around him. Alcohol is like the common friend everyone has. They get to it when they are sad, and when
Angus drives to the hotel at the end of the night. As he drives into the almost desert parking lot of the hotel, he can hear the chirping of the crickets. He walks out of the car and walks through reception, he goes up the elevator and when he gets on the right floor, he steps out. When he gets to the room, he taps on the door and Joanna comes to open the door. She nods at him, her silent way of greeting her boss, before she moves aside and lets him into the room. Christian Webster is in the room too. The sleeves of his finely ironed shirt have been rolled up, he is sitting at the edge of the bed. He stands up as soon as Angus walks into the room. It's a bit awkward because years ago, Christian was hired to unlock who Angus really was, and they both held grudges against each other. The two men stare at each other for a few seconds, not sure of what to do. “Christian Webster,” Angus says. “Angus Knighton, the Randolf heir himself.” Christian raises and drops his hands. “I nev
Angus finds a quiet time to speak to her so that she can see if he will be able to save her before bringing her father down. He has been looking for an opportunity, but she hasn't called him to drive her anywhere for a few days. Also, everyone has been standing on their toes because El Salvador has been weary of betrayers. Angus doesn't give up, he is going to find a window and he is going to make sure that he tells her what she needs to know. After trying for two days, Angus knows that if he doesn't take a desperate measure, he might never be able to speak to her. From where he is guarding the gate with some others, he decides to get a bathroom break. He tells the other that he is going to take a quick piss, but he instead sneaks into the main house. He looks around, making sure that no one sees him. Then he walks up the stairs and knocks on her door. He knocks a few times, but no one comes to the door. The door opens, but it's not Diane who walks out, it's one of the ser
Angus waits for her to say something, he is begging for her to say anything, but she is not. From the way that she is laughing, he knows that this is not going the way that he planned. He wanted to go further, but she is not even taking this well, so he holds back. “Diane, are you listening to me?” He takes a step closer. “Oh, I heard you already.” She chuckles. “And guess what? You are so screwed.” “Come on, diane.” He sighs. “You don't even know your mother, don't you want to at least met your brother?” “No, what I am really dying to do right now is to drive my knife down your throat.” She points at him. She walks to she door, her steps heavy and angry. Angus knows better than to go after her, it's only going to make her even more angry than she is already is. “And you know, I'm not going to tell you you're fired! But you can come to work if you have enough guts!” She dares him. “I hope the bastard paid you enough, because you will need the money to set your wife up for whe
Angus takes a cab to his in-laws house. It's been a while since he has been here, but he has been very glad that he can stay away from Matilda's toxic family. He braces himself before he walks into the compound. He meets two of the servants, cutting the grace of the big front yard and immediately they see Angus, they stop to stare at him. It's been months since he has been here, so that's the reason. “Evening.” Angus waves at them. They may raise their hands in acknowledgment. Angus walks up to the front door and rings the bell. It opens and Byron is the one who has opened the door. Angus has missed that sneer on his face. “You are here, we've been expecting you.” He widens the door. “Yeah.” Angus steps into the house. He looks around the place, nothing much has changed in the house. Normally, he would be led to the living room to wait till when Mister Moore feels like it's the right time for him to be attended to. But this time around, Byron walks past the sitting room, to
