The doctor's face slacks in shock, but she recovers immediately and bows her head very deeply. "Forgive me, sir." She says. "I didn't know who you were, I would have treated you with more respect." Angus is not still used to people bowing down to him like this. He hates it, but now he knows that he has to deal with it. "I just need you to empty the hospital, just to make sure that my wife is safe." He says. "Close down the place and make sure that no one else is allowed in." She nods vigorously. "Certainly, sir. I will do that immediately." She rushes away to carry out his orders. Angus's eyes follow her as she leaves, he hears Owen chuckle behind him. "What's the matter, Master?" "I, um, I haven't gotten used to people treating me with such respect, I am used to being the loser in the room." Owens comes to stand by his side. "This is just the tip of the iceberg, my lord. Get ready for more."Angus looks at him, a small squint in the corners of his eyes. "You are calling me

Angus stands from a distance, as the burial ceremony of his grandfather takes place. It's windy, the brown leaves are blowing in small spirals that look like a spirit is in them. It's a private burial ceremony, just the clergy, Owens Daniels, and about three very old friends of his grandfather. Angus feels nothing as he watches the immaculate coffin of his grandfather descend into the ground. There are two graves closer by that look identical, they are the graves of his father and his mother. His biological parents. After the final rites have been performed, everyone leaves so that the gravediggers can come and complete their work. Owen is the only person that doesn't go away. He stands there looking into the grave till Angus comes to stand by his side. "My lord." He bows without looking at Angus. "I wasn't expecting you, you said you weren't going to." "I technically didn't. I waited for the burial to be over." Angus gives a small shrug. "I can't help but feel sorry for the

Five years later. It's been five years since Angus took a very daring decision. Angus enlisted into the army. Of course, Owens, Lorenzo, and Joanna didn't think that it was a good idea, but he's their boss and what could they have done? Despite that, Angus has completely dominated the military field. He has risen in ranks in those five years and now, he seats among men that have strived for their places for decades. He is now General Angus Knighton, a soldier respected even by the president himself and he serves alongside with men old enough to father him. He didn't need the army paycheck, and he didn't need the training, it was just something to get his mind off everything that happened to him and it worked. He is in an end-of-the-year meeting with the generals, the minister of defense, and many other men of greatness. He has just told them the truth about himself and every one of them can't hide their shocked stare. "Wait, a second." General Kendrick drops his glass to the t

Angus is completely startled by what he has heard. Sell Matilda off in marriage? Lorenzo looks sorry that he is the one who is delivering the message to Angus. "I just wanted to let you know, since you both are still legally married, and even with what happened, you haven't divorced her." Angus wipes his face with his hand. "What the fuck do you mean by they are trying to sell her off in marriage?" Angus asks with anger. "What does that even mean?" "From what I gathered, they are ashamed that the one beautiful girl of the town is now nothing but a lame daughter and they are trying to pay any man willing to marry her a million dollars," Lorenzo exclaims. "Are you kidding me right now?" Angus shakes his head. They are trying to sell her off for a million dollars?! That's not even enough to pay his house bills for a month! That's the price they want to place on Matilda?! Lorenzo sees him boiling with so much anger, but he stands still. "Do you want me to go over and… do some

"A husband?" She nods in affirmations. She stares down at the small flower that she is holding and slowly starts to take out one petal after the other. That's when it clicks in Angus' head, she doesn't remember one single thing about him. She remembers her marriage status, and that's just about it. "Where is your husband, then? Doesn't he care that you are about to be married off to one of those losers?" He points back to the house. She looks up, with very little care in her eyes. "At least I will have a husband and won't be so miserable." She shrugs. "I've heard the insults from people, my father is right. A husband is what I need." He hates that she speaks this way of herself. He wants to lift her chin and tell her that this is not the kind of person that she is. She is a boss girl, wanted by many men, and is the envy of many of their competitors. She is not a self-pitying woman who wants to be sold off like an old commodity. "I know, you think I'm crazy." She sighs. "But yo

While Matilda and Lorenzo are in the underground facility, Angus has a few things to do. He has driven throughout the night to a neighboring town. It's a small town, just a few thousand people are living here– the perfect place for a murderer to hide. He parks outside the Walmart and waits for a particular person. His hands are gently squeezing the wheel, and he keeps looking at the exit, waiting for someone. Soon a pregnant woman steps out, holding a shopping bag in her hand. She is pushing her protruding belly forward and also, holding the hand of her toddler. She looks tired and worse out, almost anemic. Angus steps out of the car and walks to the entrance. He pretends not to even notice the pregnant lady, but as soon as he walks past her, he brushes against her. She is startled, she drops her bag and the contents fall on the ground. "Oh, no! I'm so sorry!" He bends to the ground and starts to help her pick her things up. "No, no, it's fine. I wasn't looking, it's my f

Greg can see the coldness in Angus' eyes, he can't tell that he can't fight Angus. He looks back at his young family and then back at Angus. "What's the matter?" Angus asks. "You didn't think I was going to forget everything you did, did you?" "I have a family now." "I know, I met them before." Angus gives a thin smile. Greg tries to be smart and shut the door on Angus, but all Angus does is flash him the gun. "I wouldn't try that if I were you," Angus warns him. Greg swallows a gulp of saliva. He doesn't have another choice, he has to open the door and let Angus into the house. His wife, Becky, smiles as soon as she sees Angus. "Oh, hi! I was just telling him about you!" She beams. "I'm glad that you are back, do you want coffee or some tea?" "That's not necessary, babe," Greg says in a deep voice. Immediately, the smile leaves her face. There is something wrong because of the excitement that one is supposed to have after meeting their friend after five years, Greg doesn'

Angus and Lorenzo walk into their car with looks of satisfaction on their faces. They finally did it, they got El Salvador's location. “I always thought that Manny was a stupid kid. Who would have known he was such a genius?” Lorenzo thinks aloud. “Remember when I told you not to kill him?” Angus looks at him. “The little man has come in handy.” They start to journey back home, but they are not as gloomy as they came…****Matilda is leaning against the wall, as she stares at Angus.

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

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
