Hailee's decision to visit Zia immediately proved to be the right one, because once she got there, she could see that the situation in the house was very inharmonious where Uncle Diego's angry roar and Zia's sobs could be heard out in the yard.

Some of the maids who had worked there for a long time looked frightened, but couldn't do anything but mutter quietly, begging Diego to stop. They were standing on the side, a little bit away from Diego and Zia, standing with trembling bodies, because this was the first time they had seen Diego this angry.

Meanwhile, Zia could only cry while apologizing. She didn't even know what to say anymore, as if she could only speak one syllable 'sorry' continously.

On the other hand, Diego destroyed anything he could reach, making the living room in the house, which is usually always neat and tidy, look like a war zone with shards of glass strewn across the floor.

Diego tried to vent his anger and disappointment with Zia by destroying things, because if he were to hit his daughter, no one knew what would happen.

Diego probably couldn't stop and no one would be able to stop him in the midst of his blinding rage.

Meanwhile, Zia didn't even feel the pain anymore when the glass shards pierced her skin. Fear and shame had overtaken her and she could no longer think straight.

This is a very ironic sight.

Hailee who entered the house with Ramon by her side immediately rushed toward Zia, but Ramon swiftly pulled her back and said firmly.

"Wait here," said Ramon, then walked forward to approach the father and daughter pair.

Ramon didn't want Hailee to get hurt with all sorts of sharp objects scattered on the floor; neither could he risk Diego accidentally hurting his wife.

"I will take Zia to her room, you wait here," Ian assured and immediately approached Zia. He knew that Hailee wanted to hug her cousin immediately, but also understood why Ramon forbade her.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT?!" Diego exclaimed angrily when he saw Ramon approaching him. He didn't hit Zia, but the things he destroyed certainly hurt his daughter more or less. "Don't GET INVOLVED IN THIS MATTER!"

Diego's eyes grew darker when he noticed  the arrival of Hailee and Ramon, with another man he didn't know. His shame and pride were trampled on because they were here.

This was a disgrace and with their arrival, it showed that they already knew about the news.

It's shameful and Diego can't live with this.

Anger had completely blinded Diego's eyes. If he was calm, he would have questioned himself why he had to attack Ramon, but when his emotions were a jumbled mess, he couldn't reason with his actions for wanting to attack Hailee's husband.

"Uncle don't!" Hailee screamed hysterically when she saw Diego lift a flower vase and was about to slam it on Ramon's head.

"GET OUT OF HERE!" he roared like a wounded animal. His eyes were bloodshot and his face showed no friendliness at all. "LEAVE!"

Quickly, Diego swung his arm, about to hit Ramon with the flower vase in his hand, but Ramon dodged the attack easily and twisted Diego's arm, so that the vase fell between them, then pushed Diego's body until the middle-aged man fell to the floor.

It's terrible to face someone who isn't using their logic and letting anger overwhelm them, but when you're calm, it's easy to read their moves.

And Ramon is trained enough to be calm in any situation.

"Take Zia to her room," Ramon ordered. He gave the instructions, but his eyes were on Hailee, making sure that his wife didn't move from her spot.

Meanwhile, Hailee was so frightened to see Diego attack Ramon that she couldn't even move. Her legs felt weak and her head was a little dizzy. There was a sharp pain that she felt around her stomach, but all of that was ignored when Hailee confirmed that Ramon was fine.

"Go, I'll take care of things here," Ramon said softly, calming Hailee who looked very worried. He knew what his wife was feeling earlier and was grateful for having decided to come with Hailee.

This is the right decision. Ramon couldn't imagine what would have happened to Hailee without him. Of course Ramon didn't take Ian's presence into account. He would never entrust Hailee's safety to that man.

On the other hand, Ian helped Zia to stand up, but it seemed that the young woman was too shocked that her legs could not support her, so Ian had to carry her.

Zia's body was not heavy and it could be said that she seemed to have lost a lot of weight due to the recent mess. It must not be easy to live in the shadow of fear, thinking if one day news of her affair with a married man gets out…

And that day has come...

Zia buried her face into Ian's neck and hugged him tightly, letting the man take her to her room accompanied by Hailee who led the way.

The surprising thing is; once they got to Zia's room, they could see how Diego had forced his way into the room.

Looks like Zia used various things to keep the door from opening, but Diego managed to break it down no matter what.

Zia's room is not much different from the situation in the living room and strands of hair can be seen on the floor. It seemed that Uncle Diego had dragged Zia out of the room by pulling her hair.

Just imagining that made Hailee shudder in horror...

Meanwhile, in the living room, Ramon was facing Diego. The man was still raging, destroying what was left to vent his anger, but not attacking Ramon this time.

So Ramon just stood there, waiting for Diego to calm down, while David, his personal bodyguard, was standing not far away with some trepidation.

He couldn't have stayed silent if Diego attacked Ramon again, but luckily that didn't happen and Diego was finally exhausted after an hour had passed.

"Damned child!" Diego hissed as he grabbed his own hair, but tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.

Ramon might not really understand how Diego was feeling right now, but at least he could conclude that; Being a father was not an easy role, it seemed he would have to read more articles after this, especially if the child were to be a girl.
