It took about ten minutes to get to Crestgold Island from the mainland by using a small plane that was specifically scheduled to take visitors to the island.
Dillon insisted on joining her to keep Giana from doing something that could get out of hand and cause a scene that would create trouble for herself. After all, the problems that Giana now facing were so many.
There was no need to add new problems.
Dillon followed Giana from behind and sighed repeatedly every time he looked at the woman.
They then exited the small airport consisting of a runway and a small lobby, then walked toward the car waiting for them.
This was the transport service of the hotel where they would stay later, it looked like Giana had really came with full preparation.
After loading Giana and Dillon's suitcases in the trunk, they drove to the hotel which was on the coast and was the only inn around.
Along the way, in the car no one made a sound, neither Dillon nor Giana utter single syllable. They were both busy with their own thoughts.
This time, Dillon no longer tried to advise her. If his previous words didn't work, then it would be the same now, especially when he saw how Giana was twisting her face and the dark aura around her that seemed to be telling him to stay away from her.
This time Dillon did not try to indulge her will and preferred to take care of this woman and take action if Giana did things that could harm her or her reputation.
After traveling for about fifteen minutes, they finally arrived at the hotel and immediately got out of the car.
This time, Giana acted as if Dillon wasn't there and chose to walk into the lobby and meet the receptionist to check into her own hotel room, while Dillon followed behind and did the same.
Too bad, they couldn't have adjacent rooms. While Giana's was stationed on the third floor, Dillon got a room on the second floor.
"Giana, I will see you in the morning," Dillon said while they were in the elevator, but the woman still insisted being silent and chose to ignore this man.
Therefore, Dillon was forced to assume that Giana heard what he said and treated her silence as approval.
In the end, Dillon escorted Giana to her room on the third floor and then returned to his own room on the second floor.
Meanwhile, in the room, Giana immediately took off the jacket she was wearing and threw it on the sofa carelessly. Then immediately headed toward the balcony, a place where she could see a stretch of sea at night, which looked like a stretch of black land that extended to the horizon.
However, that was not what Giana wanted to see, but the white house on the hill that was where Ramon and Hailee were staying in.
Giana's black eyes, stared at the building which looked very small from a distance with a sharp and cold gaze.
Her knuckles turned white as she gripped the iron railings around her balcony very tightly, showing just how deep the emotion she was currently holding.
This time, after Giana had taken this bold step, there would be no turning back for her.
She decided it wasn't just because she wanted Ramon back, but she was fed up with the disgusting domestic life she had been living for the past three years.
Not once did Giana feel happy since she found out about Aidan's affair, which broke out on her the day after their marriage.
She survived those three hellish years just because she had Ramon, but now that she had lost everything, all she could do now was to reclaim what should have been hers.
It doesn't matter how big the price she has to pay.
==============
Ramon woke up when he heard sounds coming from the kitchen. The sounds of metal clashing and the sounds of something being fried.
Ramon could vaguely smell food and this was the best way to wake up in the morning. The sounds were very calming and it felt like he were in a comfortable home.
Ramon then stretched out his hand and felt the other side of the bed, which should have been occupied by Hailee, had already turned cold, indicating that the girl had been awake for a long time.
So it was certain that the one cooking in their kitchen now was Hailee and not the helper, who came every day to clean the house.
With a lazy smile typical of people who just woke up from a deep sleep, Ramon got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash his face.
After he finished drying his face, he stared at his reflection in the mirror and an almost perfect man looked back at him.
However, that was not the main focus of Ramon, as he was more interested in noticing how a small smile etched on his lips and made him look much more approachable than the self he had been remembering for a long time.
Especially the look in his eyes, how he looked at himself.
All this while, whenever Ramon looked at his reflection in the mirror, he always found a man who was rigid and tended to have no feelings.
Like a living robot that moves according to what it needs to do. However, this time it was different and the change was big enough for Ramon to feel.
Maybe all this had changed big thanks to Hailee, how Ramon viewed his own life now after that girl brought a fresh breeze to his boring life.
Ramon never thought that he would enjoy married life as he felt now, because all this time he had been thinking; he would marry a woman who could provide more profit to his company.
Well, marrying Hailee did get Ramon several benefits such as; a high chance to acquire her family company.
However, the feel was still different.
Maybe married life was not as bad as Ramon thought it would be or maybe he was feeling happy now that he's sharing this marriage with the right person?
It's indeed too soon for Ramon to declare that he liked his new life with Hailee, but wasn't it a good start?
With a smile on his face, Ramon walked out of the bathroom and out of the room, then into the kitchen, where he found his wife cooking a simple breakfast for the two of them.
The smell that wafted in the kitchen was really appetizing and made Ramon smile even wider.
He then noticed that his wife was actually cooking while wearing his own t-shirt, which only covered her smooth thighs and left a lot of area for Ramon to enjoy with his eyes.
Still half asleep, Ramon walked over to Hailee and hugged her from behind, resting his chin on Hailee's shoulder and immediately, his wife's familiar scent filled his olfactory senses. Ramon didn't know since when he liked this so much...
"You startled me," Hailee said in a protesting tone, but there was a smile on her lips. "I'm cooking breakfast for us."
"Hm," muttered Ramon. "I know. It smells good."
Either Ramon said the fragrance came from the food Hailee was cooking, or the fragrance was Hailee herself. No one knows about it, except for him ...
"Sit down… it's almost done," Hailee said. Even though she liked the attitude of Ramon suddenly spoiling her and showing the other side of himself that Hailee had recently seen, cooking while being hugged like this was really troublesome and made it difficult to move.
"I'm hungry…" Ramon muttered into Hailee's ear and made the girl shudder as Ramon's warm breath brushed her nape and made her body tremble slightly with a familiar tingle.
"Y… yes, it's almost done…" Hailee muttered and scolded herself to focus on the half-cooked food in front of her, it's just that the huge creature that hugged her from behind, really made her efforts go in vain. "You can sit down first, it's hard for me to move when you're being like this."
However, then Hailee felt something behind her, poking her. Hailee knew what it was and instantly her body froze.
Especially when Ramon whispered in her ear, "I'm hungry, but before eating your food, there's something else I want to eat ..."
"Ramon… it's still too early," Hailee's voice caught in her throat.
Isn't Ramon a man who can control himself? But, why had he turned into such an uncontrollable man since yesterday?
Hailee couldn't help thinking how Ramon could cover up his seemingly never-ending passion and be so cold to every woman who volunteered to warm his bed.
"Precisely because it's too early…" And Ramon then stretched out his hand to turn off the stove, before he showed Hailee what he really wanted to eat…
Well, from now and the days after, Ramon probably would have his favorite thing to eat for his breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper...
==============
Aidan awoke when he felt the delicate hands of a woman hugging his naked chest and disturbing his sleep.
"Zia ... what time is it now?" Aidan asked in his sleepy voice and closed his eyes again.
It was just that, it was like something was stuck in his heart and he felt that he had forgotten something important. But what?
In a semi- conscious state, his brain started functioning again, remembering what important things he had forgotten.
It took Aidan a little longer to remember what had happened, because the alcohol he drank actually affected the performance of his brain.
And the first thing he remembered was; he slapped Giana because his wife insisted on going somewhere without prior notification, even though there was a family dinner they had to attend.
Then, the fight with Dillon and how they broke up.
Aidan also remembered walking into the bar and drinking while trying to call Zia, only that the girl didn't pick up his phone calls at all.
She ignored him all night and didn't give him a chance to tell her that he was in need of her that night.
But, wait a minute ...
Immediately Aidan's eyes opened wide, then glared at the head that was leaning against his naked chest.
If Zia didn't pick up the phone last night and they didn't see each other, then who is this girl?!
And the last memory he had was; Aidan stripping off a red dress worn by a woman, whom he met at the bar.
An annoying woman who kept looking at him with interest. However, Aidan was too drunk to be wary of that woman.
Oh, shit!
Angered, Aidan then pushed the woman off of his chest roughly.
What the hell is happening??!!
It took about ten minutes to get to Crestgold Island from the mainland by using a small plane that was specifically scheduled to take visitors to the island.
Dillon insisted on joining her to keep Giana from doing something that could get out of hand and cause a scene that would create trouble for herself. After all, the problems that Giana now facing were so many.
