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
Angus leaves the house totally frustrated and fed up with the disgusting behavior of his in-laws. They treated him like rash and he endured everything just to stay with Matilda, and now they want his child gone?He has too much to worry about, why are they adding to his misery? Angus stops another taxi, he luckily finds out down the road. “Ignatius Bank.” Angus gets into the car. “Twenty bucks.” “Let's go, my friend.” Angus urges the man. The driver starts the meter and steps on the gas. Angus is still fuming. If not for Matilda's love for her family, he would have destroyed them in such a way that they would be turned into beggars. His phone rings in his pocket, interrupting the wicked thoughts that are going through his head. It's not anymore he would have expected, the call is coming from Tina, Zack's kind wife. Unlike Zack, Tina is a sweetheart, she is never mean to Angus. She travels a lot for her work, so she is rarely at the Moore family house. He is surprised that
The commotion is so much that people start to turn towards them. Why has she called the security on the man? Angus is not moved by her intimidation, he stands his ground. She is yelling words of insults at Angus, calling him a good-for-nothing poor man who walked in here demanding for a service that he can't afford. She is bent on embarrassing Angus before the security comes and throws him out. Because of the intensity of the whole thing, someone has been smart enough to inform the manager that soon, the man shows up. He turns to the receptionist and demands to know what's going on. “Samantha, what's going on?” The manager asks. “This poverty-stricken idiot walked in here and demanded to open a kiddies account, but he has no money.” She points at Angus. “I asked him to leave, but he insulted me and called me useless and brainless!” The manager angrily turns to Angus. If it had been a richly dressed fellow, he would have probably apologized to him, but Angus is wearing common
Angus makes it to his inlaws’ house, exhausted from the journey, but fulfilled that he got what he wanted. He walks towards the door with confidence, and he looks around as soon as he gets in. “Mister Moore?!” He calls out. Mister Moore descends the stairs, and his children follow right behind him. They look at him with uninterested gazes like they are sure that he wasn't able to get it done. Angus takes out the paper and opens it for all of them to see. “Wait, is that Ignatius Bank? A kiddies account?” Mrs Moore's face falls. “It can't be.” Zack gets closer and takes the paper from Angus. He puts it very close to his face, so to make sure that he is misreading it. It's indeed the famous kiddies’ account! How was Angus able to pay for this? Zack passes the paper to Byron, who then reads and passes the paper to their father. Their father takes out his glasses from his pocket and reads through them. The more he reads, the more his lips are turned in disbelief. How was this
Angus spends the next few days pampering his wife. He doesn't let Matilda do a thing, he cooks for her, helps her bathe, and makes sure that she is very well taken care of. He calls her boss, Jonathan, and makes sure that she gets a few days off. It won't be long and she won't be needing a job anymore. Yes, he still knows that he has to tell her the truth one day. He hopes it's going to be easy when that day comes. Angus doesn't expect a call from Julius, he has been away for almost a week now and he didn't call anyone to get permission. He assumed that Diane had fired him. After what he told her, he assumed that she went to tell her father the man was probably looking for him to kill. So, Angus stares at the phone in confusion before he picks it up. “Hello, Mister Julius.” He says into the found. “You have given yourself a break now, boy, haven't you?” Julius barks at the other end. Angus is stunned. Diane didn't tell anyone?!“Are you even listening to me, Angus?!” “Yes,
