Everyone turns around to see who the person with the roar of the lion is and their breath is taken.

A middle-aged man in a fancy suit walks up to them. His shoes are shining like they were scrubbed overnight by servants and his wristwatch is decorated with diamonds.

Even though no one seems to know who this stranger is, everyone knows that he is rich.

He takes off his glasses, looks at Angus and his mother, walks to Angus, and bows to him.

Angus looks around in shock, what's happening?! No one has ever bowed to him in his life! Not even a rat!

"Forgive me, young master, I should have been here earlier." He apologized.

Angus twists his neck around, looking for the camera that is videoing this prank, but there is none.

Who is this man and is he referring to Angus as "young master" when he is clearly richer than him?

The director sneers as he comes between Angus and the strange man, the mean look on his face has returned.

"So what is your plan?" He asks rudely. "You used your last money to get yourself an actor and you think that it's going to work on me?"

"I will have to ask you to watch the way you talk to Mister Knighton, or you will have to answer to me." The man warns.

The director calls bluff with a snort. He turns to the man and points at him. He's so close to his face, in such a caring manner.

"Go back to drama school!" He spits. "From what I see, you have to repeat a few more classes!"

The rich stranger is visibly annoyed and he doesn't waste time slapping the direction rich in his face.

The slap from the strange rich man sends the director crashing into the small crowd of people who yelps.

The director is on the ground with his hand over his face, where he was slapped. He can't believe that he just got hit.

This is no longer a joke to Angus, the man just slapped the director.

The strange rich man was angrily speaking about stupid directors who behave as if they run somewhere that doesn't belong to their father, as he takes out his phone.

Angus comes closer to him. Oh no, this was surely a prank or an expensive mistake.

"Okay, I'm sorry, but I don't think you have the right Mister Knighton," Angus says to him.

Somehow, in Angus' mind, there is coincidentally another "Mister Knighton" that this man thinks is him.

The man looks at Angus with a quick smile.

"Don't worry, I am pretty sure that I've got the right person, I will handle this," He assures.

He taps around his phone quickly and places it against his ear as he stands akimbo.

The director is holding his face, angrily looking at the strange man. He is convinced that this is all just a show, but he doesn't know that he has met his downfall.

"Hello, yes, this is Lorenzo." Strange man says. "Yes, I want to buy Goldwater Hospital because I have been offended by a stupid director here."

Angus looks around in shock, he did not miss the gasp that leaves the lips of everyone.

Is this a joke? Perhaps a huge budget prank because what the hell is this man talking about?!

The director laughs out to the hearing of everyone and he points an accusing finger at Angus.

"Okay, I must admit that you are very committed to playing this sick game!" He is humored. "You've fooled everyone, but not me!"

"Listen–" Angus rubs between his eyebrows.

"No, you actually found a psycho to support this bullshit of yours!"

Lorenzo lowers the phone partially and casts a glare at the director. His annoyance with the director is growing by the minute.

"You still think that this is a game, you stupid twat?!"

The director claps his hands and laughs even more. He is finding this hilarious.

"As much as I am enjoying this, I am going to put this to an end." He says. "Not only am I going to kick your half-dead mother and your actor out, I am going to get the police to throw you into jail! You dare assault me?!"

Angus sighs heavily, slapping his hand over his forehead, he can't believe that he has gotten into even bigger trouble.

Lorenzo is calm, his hands are folded as if the word "jail" doesn't scare him.

Angus is trying to beg the director even more, he is even angry with this man for adding even more to his problem.

"Please, my mother–"

"When I am done with you all, even your mother would wish that she wasn't born." The director goes on. "You won't even have the nerve to ever look me in the eyes–"

The director would have gone with his insults and threats, but his phone is loudly ringing in his pocket.

Angus feels the pain in his heart growing, this is single-handedly the worst day of his life.

The director decides to pause to answer the call, he will deal with these lowlifes later.

His face stills when he sees that his boss, Mister Goldwater, is the one calling.

He suddenly changes from his arrogant character and looks more meek, he clears his throat before he answers the call.

"Hello, Mister Goldwater–"

The smile leaves his face and it turns white immediately. His phone was on speaker, everyone could hear his boss on the other end.

"You stupid, stupid boy! What have you done?!" His boss blasts him.

He looks around, his face is red with embarrassment.

"I am very sorry, sir, but I don't think I know what you are talking about." He laughs nervously.

"I don't know what you were thinking when you offended an acquaintance of the richest family in the country and now our hospital has been purchased by them because you offended them!"

    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. They are in their baby's nursery. The place is colored with a soft blue, it's decorated warmly, and it's the coziest room in the house. Angus has the baby in his arms as he gently moves from side to side, cooing her to sleep. Matilda's serious face breaks into a smile. Angus is timid about holding his daughter, but he is learning pretty fast. Their daughter's cry has been reduced to a silent whimper, and she has started going to sleep. “Matilda, you haven't said anything.” He glances at her. “You

    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
