After Lorenzo sees that he has succeeded in calming Angus down, he leaves the room after assuring him that he will be back in a short time. He walks out of the room, shutting the door behind him. He runs his hands through his hair. How is he going to explain to Mister Solomon that Angus saw what he has been trying to hide from him?He exhales loudly as he arranges his jacket, walking back to join the others for the ceremony. He meets the two men at the door, they seem to be whispering to each other, but they stop as soon as he gets to them. They salute him but avoid any form of eye contact with him. He knows that they have been talking about Angus and what happened. He better curb the problem immediately. "Gentlemen, thank you for handling the situation swiftly." He nods at them. "Do you need us to call the police, sir? He looked very dangerous." "No, no need for that." He waves off. "I have handled the situation and there is no need for that anymore." They look at each othe
Angus smirks as he looks at him. "No, man, you are not going to do that." He refuses. "You are going to tell me the names of the motherfuckers that killed my parents." "Sir, I have no idea who they are. Your grandfather never told anyone who they are." "That's some bullshit." Angus fumes. "You have got to know something!" "All I know, I have told you." Lorenzo insists. "I can't lie to you, sir." Angus wants to push some more, but he can see that there is nothing else to push for. Angus stares at Lorenzo and he discovers that if he never found out about his grandfather and how rich his real family is, he would have never imagined someone like Lorenzo would be at his beck and call. Angus rubs his forehead and leaves Lorenzo in the room without another word. The building is very protected around the clock and that means Angus sees security men and women all around the building even though it's almost two at night. He meets the security guard who took his car key, and the man loo
Angus is disgusted with what she has just said. He can see the look on her face, the look of greed and that makes his stomach churn. "Ashley, what are you talking about?" He asks. "I gave you everything, the house, everything we ever had, what else do you want from me?" "Oh, please," she sneers. "You are just trying to form the victim. You weren't open with the judge, you hid some things from me." "Oh, Ashley, why can't you have a heart?!" He wails. "Why are you being such a bitch?" Her hand goes to her chest in shock, what did he just say to her?"A bitch, Angus? Did you just call me a bitch?" Joanna hears the commotion coming up, so she decides to come out to see what's happening. So she tears the door away from Angus, and even though he tries to stop her, she widens it enough for Ashley to see her. "Is something the matter?" She asks. Ashley bites her lip in anger when she sees Joanna. "What's the nosey bitch doing here?" Ashley barks. "You better ask her to go back into
Joanna almost laughs with surprise. This lady has got to be one of the craziest that she has ever encountered in her life. "Um, is this supposed to be a joke or something?" She asks. "Name your price." Ashley urges her. "My husband belongs to the Goldwater family, I am sure that you have heard of them before." "Lady, I don't care!" Joanna snaps. "If you are so rich now, why are you going after Angus when you know that he doesn't have anything?" Joanna sighs, placing her hand over her forehead. "Because you have no idea the humiliation I had to go through. You are a woman, how do you feel when your man can't even buy you a designer bag?!" "I don't feel anything because I bought it myself!" Joanna sneers. Ashley rolls her eyes, this isn't the reaction she was hoping to get. She drops the act of hunting for empathy from Joanna. She can now clearly see that they are different types of people. "Fine, whatever." She shrugs her shoulders. "Stop making me look like the bad person, h
Angus feels like his heart has been stabbed, he can see Matilda's hand shaking with wrath. He takes the phone from her immediately, he doesn't know what she is going to do. He holds up his hand, gesturing to her to keep calm as he takes a few back. "What the fuck are you talking about?" "Language, sir." "Oh please, don't try to be formal with me. We worked hard for this, especially Matilda, what's going on?" "Sir, I did my part by sending her the email. She has unpaid tax, and her company has also been blacklisted." Angus runs his hand through his hair, he can't believe what he is hearing right now."This has got to be a joke, right?" He asks. "Pay your tax and also try not to step on some big toes too. It's not our fault that your firm gets in trouble with one of those rich millionaires." The lady mutters carelessly. Angus stops, his ears tingling because he heard what he heard. "What did you say?" He questions. The lady, unfortunately, notices the gravity of what she has
Angus feels the coldness of the weather as he drives back to his house. She is sleeping very peacefully, he can't even bring himself to wake her up. She looks very peaceful, it's very different from when she was heartbroken about the contract being given to someone else. Even though it's raining heavily, he manages to carefully drive to his estate. He goes through the gate and finally to his house. The plan is to get the car into the garage, and somehow get Matilda out of the car and into a bed – without waking her. But when he gets to his house, he turns off the engine of the car. The rain is still beating down on the car, but fortunately, it's a soothing sound and doesn't wake her up. He is still looking at her peaceful face, he wants to reach out and push away the strand of hair from her perfect face, but he doesn't. Instead, he picks up his phone and makes a call. He doesn't mind stepping out for privacy, she is out cold, and she can't hear a thing. He calls Joanna, she pi
Since it has been a long while that Angus hasn't visited his mum, he prepares to go to the house today. The thing is that he isn't just going there to see his mother, he is also going there to see Lorenzo. He wants the company back, not for his sake, but Matilda's. He wants to make her happy again. So he drives to his grandfather's house in the afternoon. Seems like a coincidence, Lorenzo just steps out of his Ferrari, it's obvious that he is just driving in now too. Lorenzo comes out of his car and waits for Angus to come out of his. He bows to Angus, Angus doesn't wince at it, he has gotten used to it at this point. "Nice car you have here." Angus points. "Do you want to trade?" It's a joke, so Angus is surprised when Lorenzo tosses the car key to him. Angus catches it, almost losing his balance because he didn't see it coming. "What the hell, man, why are you giving me your key?" "You asked to swap, sir." "It's a joke, Lorenzo. Do you even know what a joke is?" Angus th
If a pin is dropped right now, it will ring louder than thunder. Lorenzo sighs and shuts his eyes, he can't believe that Angus went to do exactly what he asked him not to do. Angus' mother looks at both Angus and his grandfather, her fork is still in her hand. Angus looks calm, but anger is tearing him up inside of him. The fact that his grandfather hasn't said a word is what adds to his anger."Jesus Christ." Angus lets his back lean against the seat. "Aren't you going to say anything? Are you going to sit there and just stare?!" "Angus don't speak to him that way, don't forget that he is your grandfather." His mother quickly warns him. "Oh mum, not you too." Angus shakes his head. "He lied to me and you want me to act like it's nothing?!" His mother is surprised, Angus is normally a very respectful boy, and she doesn't know what has happened to him. His grandfather still hasn't said a word. He instead stands up to his feet. "Angus, the study. Now." He walks away without loo
