Ramon still vividly remembered how Axcel kicked Hailee in the stomach and recorded the whole incident with his cellphone, as if he would watch the video again and again to enjoy the whole torturing process.
Hailee's voice whimpering in pain as well as Axcel's disgusting laugh kept ringing in Ramon's ears, beating his current apology.
Hailee's face scrunched up in pain while her body curved to protect their baby. How in vain his wife tried to protect the baby by hugging herself while this bastard didn't stop hitting or kicking her, only fueled his hatred toward this man.
Damn it!
Not to mention seeing Hailee in pain, to see his wife frowning during her pregnancy because she felt uncomfortable had Ramon on tenterhooks, worried that something bad would happen.
And here, this asshole, so boldly kicked his wife until they lost their first child?
Truly, even if this man had nine lives, then Ramon would happily kill him nine times after he was satisfied torturing him and satisfaction would never come to him, which meant, the torture would never end.
"Ramon I'm sorry… I didn't mean to act like that, really it was just a momentary impulse… I didn't mean it like that… I… I…" he stuttered, looking for a thousand and one good reasons to melt Ramon's heart. "I was told… I was ordered by someone… I… Leon told me to do that…"
No, Leon never told him to do that… Leon just said he could do anything to Hailee, but who cares? Because Leon wasn't there to defend himself.
And Ramon didn't care about that either. Whether it was Leon's orders or not, Axcel would never be able to escape the grip of Ramon Tordoff's wrath now.
On the other hand, David, Marcus and several other bodyguards looked at Axcel with a look of disgust and murderous intent that was very obvious. Just one word from Ramon, they would scramble to be the first to torture the man to death.
"Leon sent you?" Ramon asked, but his eyes fell on David who nodded at him, saying that preparations were complete.
"Yes yes." Axcel nodded hastily, afraid that Ramon would not believe him if he took too long to answer. "Leon told me to."
"Hm," Ramon mumbled, then he turned his attention back to Axcel. "Then how about you change in that room." Ramon nodded toward a room on his left. "There's clean clothes in there and I can talk to a much better looking you."
Axcel's face immediately turned a little cheerful when he heard Ramon's words.
Easy as that? Is it that easy to convince Ramon Tordoff? Did he just believe it? This was hard to believe and Axcel was still motionless, kneeling before Ramon.
"What are you waiting for? I don't have too much time for you," said Ramon, looking at the creature in front of him with eyes that were difficult to decipher. "When you're done, we'll talk."
Axcel blinked a few times, trying to convince himself it wasn't a lie, and it took a few seconds longer for him to register the situation completely.
"Okay, okay..." Axcel said in a hurry. He then tried to move as fast as he could toward the door that Ramon pointed at, despite the intense pain that gripped him.
After Axcel had gone inside, Marcus casually locked the door from the outside, while Ramon turned around and walked away.
"Where's Lexus?" Ramon asked David.
"Your brother is at home, being interrogated by the chief of police regarding Leon Dawson's issue," David answered quickly.
"We're going there," said Ramon leaving the building behind him. But, of course the suffering that Axcel would endure was nowhere near its ending.
No, this was just a warm-up… Ramon was still trying to figure out what kind of torture he wanted to inflict on the man, because he didn't want Axcel to die quickly. Death was too easy of a punishment for him...
In the car, Ramon took his cell phone out to call someone. It didn't take long before the person picked up the phone from him.
"Mr. Tatum, I need your help," said Ramon as soon as he heard Diego Tatum's greeting.
"Yeah, I assumed you would call me sooner or later. I'm on my way to city A, I'll be there in half an hour," said Diego.
As soon as he heard the news about Leon Dawson, he immediately knew that something was wrong. So he tried to find out the actual situation. How shocked he was when he found out what happened to Hailee...
"I'll be waiting for you at the Tordoff residence," said Ramon, then cut off the line.
And as soon as he looked at his cellphone screen, there was a message notification that came in, telling him that the CCTV camera that Ramon wanted was installed in Hailee's room.
With this, Ramon could monitor Hailee from afar. There, on the screen, he could see his wife who was still unconscious and also Ian who was sitting a bit away from Hailee's bed.
================
Axcel entered the room that Ramon had shown earlier and saw a large bed that looked comfortable and also a shirt and pants for him to wear.
Axcel didn't even bother what the big bed was for as he walked over to the hanged clothes, prepared to put them on and talk to Ramon.
In fact, since he stepped foot into this room, he had been thinking all kinds of lies he was going to tell Ramon.
All the lies that Ramon might want to hear from him and all that would point at Leon. How the man took advantage of him and that in fact he was completely innocent of the abuse.
Oh, maybe adding a story like him being threatened with death by Leon if he didn't do what he wanted would sound more convincing.
While thinking all these things, Axcel took off his clothes one by one and wiped the blood from his face. Too bad he couldn't shower so he could look cleaner.
But, he could do it later, when he was free from Ramon and he ate all his lies.
However, what Axcel didn't realize was the presence of seven men in the room who were looking at him with savage eyes.
And when he realized what the men were aiming for, it was too late for him to retreat.
