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'

    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 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

    “What do you two think that you are doing?” She looks at both of them with disgust. “This has to end right now.” “Diane, what are you doing here?” Her father sighs. “I asked you to leave, I have held the police back as long as I can. Leave.” “So that both of you can get the opportunity to kill yourself? I don't think so.” She shakes her head. “Diane, I am going to give you a pass because you are my sister, but that man is not walking out of here alive,” Angus tells her. “Take his advice and leave.” “No.” She raises her voice just to show both men how serious she is. “If both of you think you are allowed to kill yourselves, then I should be the one to do it! Seems I have more sense than both of you combined.” “What are you doing, sweetheart?” Her father asks with a faint scowl. “Do you realize who this man is? He is the product of your mother's disloyalty to us. How can you consider him to be your brother?!” “Don't get this twisted, dad, I still hate her.” She rolls her eyes. “B

He married you legally. Don't you care that he is the richest man in the world?”She looks at the phone with a blank stare, she wants to yell at her father, maybe that will get sense into him. “Perhaps you should pay Angus back all his money and leave me alone.” She grunts. Her father laughs at the other side, his laughter scratches her brain the wrong way. “Do you know how much that is going to amount to?” He asks her. “He has been giving us millions weekly too, I don't have the money to pay.” She knows this.

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.

    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
