Angus is furious, he can't stand the continuous insult to his mother. He takes the divorce agreement, a quick look and signs it without any hesitation.

Ashley laughs, she is so happy that Angus signed.

"OK, let's go to the court now, Mr. Quinton has arranged everything well, we could get all the documents today. You see? That's how you benefit from the power." She laughs.

Angus sneers,"OK, I want to finish this mess earlier too."

Seeing Angus being so calm, Ashley is angry. Because for her, Angus must be unreasonable and crazy to keep the marriage.

After all, she was so good to him, he won't ever find a girl as good as her after the divorce.

"How can he be so calm?

He must be pretending!" Ashley thinks. She sneers at him in anger.

"You're trying to be cool, huh? OK, let's go. Mr. Quinton will drive us to the court, how about you, loser?" She is trying to show off what Quinton has, to prove it's Angus's loss divorcing her.

But Angus is still calm, "I'll take the taxi, it would be too late."

“Ha, a loser couldn't afford even a car. Let's go darling, I couldn't stay with a poor loser in the same room.” Quinton mocks.

He can't believe that even her parents are laughing at them. He slaved for them so much in the past.

Her parents kiss her goodbye and wish her well, congratulating her on taking the bold step to leave him.

They leave him in the front of the house, to find his way to the court.

Angus sighs and calls an uber.

At this time, his phone rings.

"Hello?" Angus picks the phone.

"Hi Mister Angus Knighton, I am sure that I have the right number." She says.

"I'm sorry, who are you supposed to be?"

"Joanna Wayne." She answers. "Your assistant."

Angus's ears shoot up, he now has a personal assistant?

"Wait, what?" He is astonished. "A personal assistant?"

"Yes, your grandfather sees it fit that his grandson isn't stressed."

Angus can't believe what he is hearing.

"What do I need a personal assistant for? I am not sure I even still have a job with my former employers."

"Why would you need a job when your family is a superfamily?" She chuckles at his silliness.

Angus sighs as he pushes his hair away from his face.

"Listen, Joanna, I don't have anything for you to do."

"I can get you a quick snack, I can kill people too if you want."

"No." Angus finds himself crackling.

But immediately an idea gets into his head and he smiles to himself. Maybe he does have a use for her.

"I have something to do." He says. "I have to be in court in the next two hours. Meet me there afterward"

"What are you in court for?"

"You are such a nosy assistant. Don't be late."

He ends the call and starts to get ready for the court.

He gets there just in time and he sees Ashley together with Mister Quinton.

They give him taunting looks, but he doesn't mind them as they all walk into the court.

The judge is waiting for them, it's a very short session.

Since Angus isn't fighting the divorce, he and Ashley just have to sign a few papers and then they are done.

Divorced. It's such a heavy word for Angus, but he feels like this is the right thing to have done.

Mister Quinton and Ashley kiss in front of him, trying their hardest to get a reaction from him, even the judge looks sorry for him.

They can't keep their hands to themselves and as they leave the courtroom Angus drags his feet after them.

He meets them by the gate. Ashley is leaning on Quinton's expensive car with a smile on her face.

"I know that you were pretending when you came over earlier, you are indeed set to leave me." She mocks. "Well, I am glad that I left you. Look at Quinton's car, you can never own something like this."

Quinton is beside her and he laughs at her insults to Angus.

Immediately there is a loud sound of the engine of a car.

All eyes turn to the gate as a luxury supercar drives into the compound.

It's red and the sun hits it at the right angle to make it glisten.

Before the eyes of everyone, a very beautiful girl steps out of the car in a very daring expensive outfit.

She is putting on cheek glasses that sit pretty on her nose and she catwalks towards the court.

Quinton is looking at her like a dog in heat, he is swallowing his saliva repeatedly.

He lets go of Ashley, to her dismay, and walks to the girl.

Ashley's face turns red with anger. Did Quinton just leave her side to flirt with another woman?!

"Hello, miss, you are very beautiful." He compliments her with a grin. "May I ask what you are doing here? Are you looking for someone, I'm sure it's me."

She walks away from him as if he is so tiny that she couldn't even acknowledge him.

Shame covers Quinton's face as she ignores him.

Angus looks on with a satisfied smile.

The lady catwalks till she gets to him and she takes off her glasses and smiles at him

"There you are," She beams. "I have been waiting outside for a long time!"

    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.

    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
