"You, come with me," said one of the guards who entered the room. He stood in front of Hailee and looked at the pregnant woman with complicated eyes.
Apparently, there was still a bit of humanity to him when he noticed Hailee's condition, which was being pregnant. At least he still has some 'compassion' left in him...
Meanwhile, Hailee didn't want to bother asking where this man would take her because the odds were close to impossible that she would receive an answer.
Therefore, Hailee would not waste her energy asking questions. After all, she would find out soon enough. It's not like she can refuse the request.
Slowly, Hailee got up from her seat, but she slipped something into the pocket of the jacket she was wearing. The small object she found earlier in this room and started following the man out of the room.
Hailee and Giana exchanged glances as she passed her and she could see the deep hatred in her eyes.
Hailee couldn't understand why Giana was so obsessed with Ramon when rumors about her relationship with Dillon were no longer just an open secret. Even if Giana decided to be with Dillon, there wouldn't be many negative comments about the two of them, knowing what Giana had been through in the past, and her marriage life with Aidan. It seemed that the public could tolerate their relationship.
But, why was Giana still thinking about Ramon? That woman must have gone mad… and blinded by her obsession with getting Ramon back.
In the brightly lit corridor, which was decorated with assorted paintings on each wall, Hailee followed the man into another room on the other side of the house.
Until they arrived at a wooden door with intricate and unique carvings, showing how expensive this piece of wood was.
AdvertisementsThe guard then knocked on the door and waited until a voice from inside allowed them to enter.
The voice sounded like a young man's voice and Hailee's curiosity made her dare to enter the room and find out who this man was.
After Hailee entered the room, it seemed the guard didn't follow her in and closed the door right behind her, leaving Hailee in there with the stranger.
"Come here, let me see you," called the voice from inside. And Hailee followed where the voice came from.
In a room as large as the first one, Hailee found a young man she had never met, pouring two glasses of red wine with soft music playing in the background.
What is this?
Hailee stood quite a distance from the man, despite his request to come into the room and accept the wine glass from him.
There's no way Hailee would accept the drink, even when she wasn't pregnant, Hailee wasn't a fan of alcoholic drinks, plus her low alcohol tolerance… of course she didn't dare to drink it.
Therefore, when this foreign man approached her and handed her the glass, Hailee just held it and didn't drink it.
Even though she felt a little afraid of this man's true intentions, Hailee didn't want to show it which would give this man an advantage to intimidate her.
"It's very rude not to drink the drink," said the man in a hoarse voice. He seemed to be a heavy smoker.
"I didn't mean to be polite," Hailee replied coldly. She didn't feel like she had to be friendly with this person.
Hearing Hailee's answer, the man started laughing so hard that he had to put down his glass so he wouldn't drop it.
"You really are as cynical and mean as I heard," the man said after he finished laughing and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. "To think I'd get such a welcoming remark on our first meeting."
Hailee looked at the crazy man in front of her with eyes that weren't interested at all. She didn't want to spend time with this man or Aileen and Giana. She really wanted to leave this place…
"Oh, I'm sorry for being so rude. I know about you but you don't know anything about me, I guess?" asked the man, being hair-raisingly polite.
Hailee had been with Ramon long enough to learn that; when someone is very polite or nice to you, especially someone you just met, then that's when you need to be more vigilant.
And Hailee totally understood that sentence at this time. Living in a world like Ramon's doesn't allow you to let your guard down at all, because you don't know who will stab you the moment you let your guard down.
"I'm Axcel Dimatrio," he said as he offered his hand to Hailee which she didn't welcome at all.
"Axcel… Dimatrio…?" The name sure brought several memories of the past back to Hailee.
"Yes, Dimatrio… do you remember that name?'' When Hailee realized where she had heard that name before and the figure of that immoral middle-aged man appeared in her mind, her eyes immediately widened in shock. "Yes, you must remember, don't you? I'd be very upset if you didn't."
================
Ramon growled while gripping his head tightly. He felt as if his head was going to explode right then and there.
He didn't even hear the four bodyguards rushing over to him frantically and taking him into the car to sit down and rest.
David, who had just arrived at the place, immediately ordered one of them to drive the car to the hospital, but Ramon stopped him and asked them to leave him alone.
He knew what would happen after this and he just needed them to leave him.
"LEAVE!" Ramon roared when David and the other four bodyguards didn't listen to his orders.
AdvertisementsHearing him, David had no other choice and quickly walked away. Not before closing the car. He stood a few meters away from the man in pain, but not too far away, so that he could immediately know if something was wrong, or what happened to Ramon later.
In the car, Ramon felt like his head was going to explode, as if a huge explosion was about to happen when some past memories came crashing down on him, making it hard for him to even breathe.
He remembered…
He remembered the reason why he was with Giana and how they started that affair…
Ramon even remembered everything about when his father was alive as well as some fights he accidentally saw happening between his father and mother behind their bedroom door…
