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. “
Angus' breath has been reduced to an occasional wheeze, he is still staring at El Salvador with death in his eyes. The man is so calmly watching Angus that it's eerie. He said that he wants to tell Angus a story about his mother and Angus can feel nothing but anger coursing through his veins. He doesn't want to hear this man say a single thing about his mother, he will kill him for that. El Salvador blows out air from his mouth and clicks his tongue as he looks at Angus. “If you are going to hear what I have to say, then you have to listen well.” El Salvador taps his ear. “We have a short time, I will be quick.” So, Angus's better wishes, Angus starts to listen to El Salvador's story about his mother.“...You're mother, Katherine. Her name was Katrina, but she thought the English version was more classy, she was the most beautiful woman I’d ever met…” El Salvador starts. “Her beauty, that's what caught my eyes, but I fell even harder when I found out that we were even more alike
Angus and Lorenzo walk into their car with looks of satisfaction on their faces. They finally did it, they got El Salvador's location. “I always thought that Manny was a stupid kid. Who would have known he was such a genius?” Lorenzo thinks aloud. “Remember when I told you not to kill him?” Angus looks at him. “The little man has come in handy.” They start to journey back home, but they are not as gloomy as they came…****Matilda is leaning against the wall, as she stares at Angus. They are in their baby's nursery. The place is colored with a soft blue, it's decorated warmly, and it's the coziest room in the house. Angus has the baby in his arms as he gently moves from side to side, cooing her to sleep. Matilda's serious face breaks into a smile. Angus is timid about holding his daughter, but he is learning pretty fast. Their daughter's cry has been reduced to a silent whimper, and she has started going to sleep. “Matilda, you haven't said anything.” He glances at her. “You
Joanna has been waiting for this day for a long time. It was unfortunate that she didn't get her when the raid happened at her house and she fled with her father, but she is ready to shoot her down now. They all walk into the office and shut the door, but Joanna doesn't let her guard down, she is still holding the gun, pointing it at Diane. Diane laughs and throws her hands in the air, in mockery. “Still have an attitude, I see.” “Joanna, drop the gun,” Angus says to her. “This is not the time and place, you know it.” “After what she did to me, everywhere is the place and whenever is the time.” Diane smiles as she leans against the table, she is totally not moved by the gun in her face. Lorenzo has a face as stiff as Joanna's. He wants to kill Diane as much as Joanna wants to, but he knows that Diane is Angus' sister and he respects him too much to do that. “You think you can mess with just anyone you want, huh?” Joanna draws closer.“Angus, okay, I think you need to put this b
She is not supposed to have gone into labor, she still has a few more days, and that's why Angus is taken by surprise. This is not a joke, she is squeezing her face in pain. “Argh! Jesus Christ!” She whimpers as she grabs the base of her belly. Angus rushes over to her, more confused than he has ever been in his life. She is suffering so much from the pain, that he has to sit down on the ground with her. She grabs his arm, squeezing the hell out of it as she bites down on her one hand. “Angus, it hurts!” Angus is so lost, that his brain has been wiped out. Everything has been arranged with the doctors and all, but he didn't expect her to go into labor so early. To be honest, he hasn't given himself a lecture on what to do when labor comes. He is like an unprepared student now! “Hey, baby, you are doing great.” He encourages her, even though he is nervous. “Then why does it feel like I'm fucking dying?!” She bares her teeth. “It's okay, just break okay?” Angus soothes her.
Matilda is the last person that Angus is expecting to see standing in his house. Her belly has grown since the last time he saw her, she has gotten even bigger. She has a scarf around her neck, luggage at her feet, and a bag in her hand. Angus can't move his tongue, he can't just believe the fact that Matilda is at his doorstep. After he begged and begged for her to come back with him. She sighs and looks down, like she is ashamed of being here. “Are you even going to act like you are happy to see me?” “Oh, Matilda, hi, come in.” He pulls her bag into the house, she walks in like a good guest. The head of his security comes at him, with a confused look on his face. “I'm sorry sir, we were going to turn her back, but she was angry.” The man apologizes. “Timothy said that she's your wife…” “Timothy is right, that's my wife.” Fear covers the face of the man, he can't believe that he almost turned away the wife of his boss. He would have lost his job. “I'm sorry, sir…” “You don
Angus has given this a good thought. He was going to leave her alone, but he decided against it. If there is one thing about Matilda that hasn't changed throughout the years, she can be as stubborn as a mule. If he lets her be, she is going to keep refusing to speak to him, even if it's going to break her down completely. She scoffs at his audacity to come up to her after she threatened to call the police. “Are you kidding me, Angus?” She frowns. “I am going to call the cops!”“Okay, Matilda, you can do that.” He shrugs. “Even if they arrest me, I'm going to just keep coming back, and guess who is going to get tired first?” She glares at him, squeezing her lips together. “You think you can bully me into forgiving you?” She puffs. “You think I'm going to fall for that?” Angus sighs, it seems that her stubbornness has increased over the months. “Look, Matilda, I've been getting your hospital reports.” He says. “Your doctor has advised that you are to be monitored as your date ge
If she knows everything, if she has her full memory back, that means that there is nothing that Angus can do or say that is going to change her mind now. He has a long face, she is staring at him with her lower lip between her teeth. “Yeah, I know it all.” She lets out a painful chuckle. “I know that you worked for me, I know that I had a crazy fiance and I know that you killed him!” “Matilda….” “Oh, I sure as hell know that you are not seriously trying to speak now!” She silences him. “After all you have done?! Are you even serious?!” Angus looks down, running his hand through his face. Everything has crumbled to the ground, he knows that she is not going to forgive him. Can he even ask for her forgiveness? She walks around, looking at him with so much raging hate that she wants to punch his face. “You abandoned me when Greg fucking shot me!” She screams. “What kind of psycho are you?!” “Matilda, you don't understand!” He tells her. “Did you realize that everyone around me w
The meeting has commenced, and the chapel is so filled up that some people have to be outside. They are singing hymns and the words are so emotional that Jade finds herself crying even when she says that she doesn't want to. Bryon hugs her close to himself and wipes her tears. Matilda is sitting right behind them, she puts her hand on Jade's shoulder so that she will know that she is not alone. After singing about two hymns, everyone sits back down. The Chaplin goes on to say a few words to everyone. He thanks Jade for choosing to honor her father in their small town and he says some words of encouragement to everyone. He reads out of the Bible and after twenty minutes, he leaves the stage as the organist plays on. Jade takes out a paper that she put in her pocket, she has written down everything that she wants to speak on. She walks to the stage with Byron. He stands by her side, offering her support as she looks up at the hall. It's filled up with staring people. She places
Owens Daniels’ death anniversary is holding this weekend, Jade insisted that it's going to hold even though she hasn't still really gotten over her father's death. She has taken over his companies, and she has hired some people to run the companies for her, but she has gone back to school to get her law degree. Her father tried to get her to be serious with school when he was alive, but she wasn't just cut out for it – so she thought– but now she has gone back to honor her father. She is going to take over his firm and businesses once she is done with school. They are going to be holding a candle session in honor of him, and also a short service in the town’s chapel. It's supposed to be a small event, but almost fifty dignitaries have flown in for the service. Her shoulders droop as she hangs up the phone after another call. She looks happy, but her eyes are sad. It's a bittersweet experience for her. “They are all here for my dad.” She smiles at Byron, her husband. “They are
Angus just gets out of the car around midnight. It's another exhausting day for him, but that's what it takes to be the world's only trillionaire. Lorenzo is at the door with him, the rest of the guards are going to take turns outside. Angus is undoing his tie as they walk into the house. It's a mansion situated away from any neighbors that will cost him his peace. The house was bought from one of the rich men in the country, he could not turn Angus around when Angus approached him. The interior of the house is speaking of so much wealth, Angus has gotten his eye for art from his grandfather, he made sure the house showed that. There is a chef in the kitchen, the place is full of different aromas of expensive food. She bows to Angus as soon as she sees him. “Good day, sir.” Angus looks at the dining table, it's filled with so much food that there is not one space left. “What's for dinner?” Angus asks as he takes off his jacket. “Pastamore with some creamy tomato sauce.
