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
The whole place turns as quiet as a graveyard, even though there are hundreds of human beings in the massive compound. Angus' last confession has rendered them speechless, shaken to the core of themselves. The Moores look like they have been slammed in the face with surprise. Matilda looks the most surprised. She has been through a rollercoaster of emotions tonight – and while being pregnant! Did her husband, who could barely keep them afloat with his small salary, just confess to being the richest man in the whole world? El Salvador snickers a laughter. It's each to hear as everyone is still in shock. He laughs some more, each laugh deeper than the last. He throws his head back and claps his hands like someone who has just witnessed the best comedy show of his life. “The richest man alive! The richest man!” El Salvador laughs. “What do you think this is? A fucking circus and you're the clown?” Angus sighs. He is not going to try to convince this man that he is who he is. It'
Since the day that Angus concluded the plans with Joanna and Christian, she has been following him around. Of course, he would have killed her if he found out, but she has been very careful about it. It's even a surprise that he never noticed, Angus is normally very sensitive, but it worked for her good. She went behind him as he drove to work, she waited for a few hours to make sure that nothing suspicious was going on, and then she left. She has been doing this religiously for weeks now, and Christian was so angry that he asked her to stop or he was going to tell Angus. According to him, Angus was not going to get in trouble, he could take care of himself. She knew that, but she just didn't like the idea of him facing off hundreds of guards all by himself. Today, she was almost not in the mood to trail Angus. Like Christian said, Angus is a war God, he is probably going to be fine on his own. But after lazing in bed for a few hours, she decided to go do what she had been d
Angus breathes heavily, the sweat dripping down the side of his face is as thick as water. He has suddenly gotten another boost of strength, knowing that he will still have the chance to destroy El Salvador. El Salvador's gun is pressed to his face now, but Angus is so unshaken that he laughs. “You want to shoot me?” Angus chuckles. “Like you did all of those innocent people? Like you did on your secret Island?” El Salvador lowers the gun and laughs in Angus' face. “Oh, you government officials are always so nosey.” He sighs. “How did you know that I have an island?” “An island where you do all the devilish things you people?” Angus snorts. “You won't be doing that for too long now.” El Salvador gives him a sorry smile as he squats to meet his eye level. “And how do you intend to stop me, Angus?” He says with his hand against his chin. “You will be in the ground, cold and still.” “No!” Matilda shutters at those words. “Someone get that bitch to shut up!” El Salvador yells. “
