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,
Angus doesn't need a soothsayer to tell him that he has been caught, Angus already knows this. But he doesn't just jump to attack El Salvador, he knows that he might not be able to survive it. Perhaps he would have a better chance if he had to take El Salvador one-on-one, but he knows that's not going to happen. There are hundreds of men in this house and El Salvador only has to click his fingers and they are going to descend on Angus. So, Angus holds his horses. He has a pregnant wife, he can't be reckless about this. He pretends to be confused, he tilts his head and squints. “Excuse me, sir? I don't understand.” Angus laughs nervously. “Why would you say that?” Angus pushes his tongue around in his mouth, there is a wicked smile on his face. “Is that what you are doing now, huh?” He laughs. “You little motherfucker, you are still going to pretend you don't know what I am talking about, huh?” El Salvador asks. Angus doesn't say anything. What is he going to say? He doesn't
Angus falls on one of his knees, the pain shooting all over his body is the worst he has experienced before. El Salvador shot him in his right thigh, and it stung like a bitch. El Salvador didn't mean to kill him because if he wanted, he would have. El Salvador doesn't miss at all. Angus knows that he is still keeping him alive because they want to get the answer from him, but he is not ready to say anything. The fact that he falls to his knees from the pain, that gives the men the chance to jump on Angus. The knife that he has been using as his weapon for protection gets snatched from his hand and his hands are immediately bound together. After they have succeeded in bounding him, two men with very fat sticks walk into the circle and stand to beat Angus repeatedly with the sticks. Angus grunts with pain and holds up his hands to cover his face, but the men are very brutal. After they have gone for almost ten minutes, El Salvador orders them to stop. Angus is covered with blo
Matilda shutters as a shiver leaves her mouth, a sob is building up in her throat. Angus is chained up in front of her, his body is covered with injury, and he looks like has been dragged all over the ground. “No, no, no, no, no” Angus pulls on his restrains. “What the fuck is she doing here?! Why is she here?!” “Angus! Oh my God!” Matilda tries to go to him, but her father pulls her back. Her brothers are standing by her side, they look repulsive at the unpleasant sight, but they don't make any move to help. Angus shuts his eyes and wishes that this nightmare will go away. What's wrong with her father? Why did he have to bring her here to see him like this?! He looks at the ground, he can hear her crying and he hates it so much. “Please, get your daughter out of here,” Angus mutters. “She doesn't deserve to see me like this!”“If you had been man enough to tell her the truth, Mister Knighton, we wouldn't be in this situation now.” Mister Moore says with spite. Of course, th
“She has no part in this, let her go!” Angus begs. He wouldn't have begged El Salvador, but his wife's life is on the line. “Give me what I want, and she doesn't have to get hurt.” El Salvador says. Angus feels his throat to be dry and uncomfortable. Even though Matilda is crying her heart out, her father doesn't even move an inch. “Dad! Dad, don't allow me to be killed!” She sobs. Her father stands unfazed, he doesn't even move an inch. Zack looks calm too. His hands are in his pockets as he watches his sister. Byron keeps sighing over and over again. He is the only one who has gotten uncomfortable with the situation. When their father informed them of what was going to happen, he didn't tell them that it was going to be this hard. This has to do with Angus and his lie, he doesn't see any reason why his innocent sister has to suffer for it too. “This is bullshit…” he murmurs under his breath. His father motions for him to calm down. This is all part of the plan. “Give h
