Ashley spends the next day in secret places of the house – in the closet, under the kitchen sink, in the attic. She is always hugging a pack of wipes which she uses to dry her nose and dry her eyes.

She is crying because she has to pay Angus fifty million and another fifty million to the court, but she doesn't have more than a few dollars in her name. She is in deep trouble, but her new husband, Quinton doesn't even care for her. She is hurting so much because she knows that her parents aren't going to give her the money.

They all depended on Quinton, but she knew that he was not going to move a muscle to help her with it. Her friends are not going to borrow her such an amount of money.

Ashley feels a chill on every inch of her body, but she still manages to be still. "What has brother Quinton seen in her?" Another asks. "She looks like a whore.

Ashley is taking her bath. She spends longer time in the bathroom than she usually does, but it's not because she wants to tend more to her body, but because she wants to drink. Each time the water drips down the drain, she drifts into thoughts. Her conversation with Mrs. Goldwater comes up in her head again and again. She has to do this, she knows that she doesn't have another choice. Mrs. Goldwater is right. If Quinton had wanted to save her from going to prison, he would have fought for the money, but he is not doing that.

Ashley has a lot of hope in herself when she walks into the office of the man, Mister Lorenzo. The office is magnificent, she can tell that this man is powerful, even though he is just an assistant.

"Yes?" He looks up. "Mrs Goldwater, I suppose, how may I help you?" "Hello, sir…" "Sit, please." Oh, he is offering her a seat! Maybe this is a sign from God that her mission is going to be successful. "Thank you." She lets herself sit down. She wants to stop herself from looking around, but this is a very beautiful office.

Angus is satisfied, surely it's a good thing that he has done for Ashley even though she sure as hell doesn't deserve it. He takes a long sigh as he heads back into the building. He suddenly bumps into someone with the same height as him. "Sorry, man, my bad." The person apologized. "No problem." Angus looks up and is startled. The person he has bumped into is no other than the man he met in the club, Christian Webster. "Goodness, it's you, my friend." Mister Christian laughs. "What a pleasant surprise." They immediately shake hands, they look delighted – like two long-lost friends. "How are you doing, man?" Angus asks. "I'm sorry, but I have to admit that I have forgotten about you." "And I have taken no offense in that." Christian waves off. "We are both busy men, why are we going to blame that on one another?"

Ashley pulls her eyebrows together. "Wha– what?" "You don't have to spend a single penny, Ashley. I don't know what touched Angus or the anonymous person who paid off your debts, but it's a miracle indeed." Ashley is not religious, she doesn't believe in mere coincidence or miracles. This is not an anonymous savior, this is someone that she knows, but the person doesn't want to be known. "Ashley, are you there?" She quickly brings herself out of the deep thoughts that are raging in her heart. "Yes, yes, I'm here." "Or perhaps it's your husband, Quinton that paid it off. I told you that you were worrying yourself because he was nonchalant, but look what he has done for you." "Yes, of course, Tyler. It has to be Quinton." She laughs. "I better go and prepare him a heavy meal to thank him for this." "Alright, Ashley. Have a nice day." She ends the call immediately. She chews her lower lip as she walks around the place, trying to make sense out of everything that has happened

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.

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
