"You think you can assault me in public and get away with it?!" Joanna bites down her lip as she struggles to get her hand off the grip of Lorenzo. Lorenzo doesn't let go, not even for a second. He knows that if he leaves her, she is going to hurt that girl. "Please, please, please," she begs. "I won't hurt her too much, I'll only gouge one of her eyes out." "That's not going to happen, Joanna." He refuses. He turns to Ashley. "And you, leave. You should learn to control your mouth in public, she would have easily hurt you if I wasn't here." Those words send sense into Ashley's brain for the first

. That's one thing that no one was expecting in the room. Silence hangs so thickly in the air that the place seems like a graveyard. "I beg your pardon?" Joanna asks. "Angus and I should get married." She suggests again. "I know it's crazy, but it's going to work." "Damn, you are even crazier than Ashley," Joanna says. "What in God's name are we talking about?" "Yeah, boss, what are you talking about?" Angus asks. "I will explain it." Matilda adjusts herself on her seat. "Ashley is only coming around because she is sure that Angus is single. If Angus and I pretend to be together and get the court to give us a certificate, we can get her off our back." "And what next?" Joanna asks. "You guys are going to be married forever?" "No." Matilda snorts. "We can file for divorce in maybe three months, Ashley would have moved on by then." Joanna and Angus can't say that this is not a brilliant plan, it is. Joanna looks at Angus, it's like they can read each other's mind. She shakes he

Joanna is back at Christian's place. They are making out on his couch, he is on top of her and their lips are interlocked. After kissing for a few minutes, they stop and just stare deep into each other's eyes. "So, what do you think?" He asks her, touching her hair fondly. "What I think?" She traces imaginary lines in his chest. "Yes." He finally told her his secret –well, it's not a secret since she already knows. He told her that he was here on a mission, he told her that he was looking for Mister Randolf's heir and that he believes the grandson was still alive. She agreed to try to find out the truth, but what she has been doing is deviating his mind. He isn't even considering Angus, it's normal given that Angus gives the appearance of a poor person. He believes that since Angus, Joanna ( and her fake cousin, Lorenzo) work for the Randolf family, he will be able to get his answers. Joanna assumes a sitting position and picks up her glass of wine. "I really think that the

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

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.

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
