“Matilda, you have to leave this town and go live with your husband.” Matilda scoffs and rolls her eyes. “Angus is a killer, he is not my husband.” “What are you talking about, Matilda? 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. Her account has been blowing up with alerts on a random, but she hasn't bothered to check the account. The husband she loved, the one who was ready to build with, turns out to be a completely different person. She moves around the new apartment that she lives in now. It's small but luxur
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. Th
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
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
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
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
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
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.
