It’s Hard To Control My Naughty Wife!

Hailee was sitting in her room with Martha, waiting for what would happen next, because she couldn't hear any sound from outside.

Maybe this is a good sign, because it means everything is going smoothly, right? That means the gunfight that's occurring in front of the gates can be resisted, right? And whoever tried to break into the Tordoff residence would be unsuccessful with their plan.

But, assuming so didn't lessen the anxiety Hailee felt in the least bit. She felt her body shaking violently, from the panic attack, not to mention Ramon's last call…

After hearing the gunshots directly earlier, Hailee was now even more certain that what she heard just before Ramon hung up the phone was the sound of gunshots.

And this makes the condition worse.

"Where's my cell phone?" Hailee asked weakly. She felt tired because there were so many emotions and feelings she had to deal with at the same time.

Martha deftly gave Hailee's cell phone. "This…" she said, looking frightened by Hailee's pale face.

Hailee took the phone into her hands and tried to call Ramon, but even when it reached the last tone, Ramon didn't pick up the phone.

Hailee repeated the call again.

She repeated the call five times, but to no avail. Ramon wasn't answering her phone calls.

What is he doing? What happened?

This only made Hailee even more nervous. She stared at her phone screen, only half an hour had passed since Ramon had last called her, but so much had happened in that short period of time.

Hailee then held the phone to her chest, hoping that Ramon would make a phone call and tell her that he was okay.

Hailee had never felt this hopeless after the death of her parents. And this feeling really bothered her.

Now she is starting to feel the pain in her stomach again…

"Stand in my way one more time, and I will kill you," growled Ramon coldly, even the bodyguards who saw Ramon now shuddered at the anger in his eyes.

Giana even forgot to breathe when she saw Ramon's wrath directed at her. She had never seen Ramon this angry, not even at his men…

Giana's surprise didn't even fade when Ramon had left with some of his bodyguards, leaving the woman there just like that.

She didn't know how long Giana sat there, while her brain was trying to digest and process what had just happened, but it was very difficult for her to accept it all.

Ramon looked at her with anger blazing in his eyes and a gun aimed at her…

Giana had never seen a gun in person at such close range, let alone being pointed at by one and what was even worse was; Ramon did that.

Ramon, the man Giana loves so much, pointed a gun to her head and threatened to kill her if she gets in his way. No need to mention that Giana was only worried about Ramon's safety after hearing the gunshots from inside the meeting room and the fight that occurred during the blackout.

This is a harsh blow for Giana. She felt like someone had slapped her so hard until she felt like her head was spinning.

Giana was shaken and this made her whole body tremble.

She didn't know how long she had been standing in the corridor, not moving a step away after Ramon had brutally threatened to kill her.

And what hurts even more is; Giana was sure that Ramon was serious about his words. That man would have killed her if Giana had been so stubborn...

"Giana... what's wrong?" The faint sound of Dillon's voice was heard and Giana's body shook visibly, not because of fear, but because Dillon, who was helping her to regain focus. "What happened? Are you hurt?"

Dillon's worried voice was like a gentle whisper in Giana's ear, which brought her slowly back to reality and was able to control her emotions a little.

Slowly, Giana turned to look at Dillon and when she saw the man's worried expression which was completely different from the one Ramon directed at her, Giana couldn't hold back her tears.

And in the next second, she was sobbing into Dillon's chest.

Her heart ached and her head was still resisting what had happened, as if she had just woken up from a nightmare she didn't want to remember anymore. It was just that Ramon's eyes… they seemed to haunt her, they seemed about to tear her apart brutally.

On the other hand, Dillon couldn't fathom why Giana was suddenly crying like this? Did anyone hurt her?

However, Dillon saw no wounds on Giana's body or any other signs of violence.

Therefore, Dillon confusedly returned Giana's hug and rubbed her back gently, whispering softly into her ear, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, I won't leave you. Do not Cry…"

Dillon thought that Giana was lost when the lights went out earlier and she was scared… at least, for now he would think of it that way.

Meanwhile, when Giana heard Dillon's gentle words, she couldn't help but cry harder while hugging the man tighter.

"Where?" Ramon asked Pyro over his cell phone while he was driving his car.

"Mr. Tordoff, there's trouble at home," Pyro said in a strained voice. "There were several people trying to break into the Tordoff residence. There was gunfire at the main gates."

Ramon pressed the gas pedal all the way down, until it was flush with his feet when he heard the report. "Where's my wife?" Ramon growled, his voice low and dangerous.

"Since we couldn't go out, Mrs. Tordoff was sent back to the house, now she is in her room with Martha," Pyro reported timidly, even over the phone, Ramon's anger could be felt very clearly.

"Stay with her, make sure you don't let anything happen to her." Ramon cursed himself for not preparing any other way to get out of the residence other than the motherfucker's main road, so now Hailee was trapped inside the house. "Shoot anyone who dares to step into the Tordoff residence."

Since their enemies also carry firearms, their actions can be justified, because they are the ones who have entered his private property.

Ramon will not hesitate to kill anyone who intends to harm his wife and child.

"Okay, Mr. Tordoff," Pyro answered earnestly, and then the line went off.

Ramon was driving like a madman, he even left the cars with his bodyguards, who were supposed to be guarding him.

Ramon even skipped a red light and crossed the maximum speed limit, breaking several traffic rules and overwhelming his bodyguards in pursuit.

Luckily the roads weren't too crowded and this allowed Ramon to drive his sports car at full speed.

The focus of the man is only on one thing, namely; get home soon, that's all.

He had to be back to make sure that Hailee was okay, but when Ramon was about to call Hailee to make sure his wife was okay, Ramon got a call from Marco informing him that they had managed to get Ciara, Ian's sister, but there were other problems.

"Later," said Ramon. He was not in the mood to hear any news, or any other problems, because the problem he was facing now, was far more important.

Marco hadn't had a chance to say anything about the five small children he brought out as Ramon hung up the phone swiftly, leaving the bodyguard scratching his head uncomfortably.

Now Ramon was only a few minutes away from home, so he chose not to call Hailee and focused on the road in front of him.

================

Hailee and Martha who were in the room were waiting anxiously to hear from Pyro and tried to listen more carefully if something was going on out there.

Time passed and it didn't feel like just half an hour had passed since they started waiting in this room, but it felt like it had been all day. Time goes by so slowly when you are anxious or waiting for something uncertain.

Then, a series of sounds was heard.

Sounds like someone stifling a snarl and a blunt object scratching against some rough surface.

Instinctively, Marta and Hailee looked at each other. They didn't know what it was, but it certainly didn't sound like good news.

A moment later, they heard the sound of the door handle being forcefully opened.

"Who is that?" Martha asked, frightened, but there was no answer. "Mrs. Tordoff, hide somewhere," Martha said in a hushed, trembling voice, but the look in her eyes showed that she was going to protect Hailee at any cost. "I don't think it's Pyro…"

Horror ran through Hailee's veins when Martha confirmed her doubts. Somehow, Hailee knew it wasn't Pyro even before Martha said it clearly.

"Then what about you?" Hailee's voice trembled, she looked at the middle-aged woman in front of her in panic.

"I'll be fine," Martha reassured Hailee. "Now think about yourself and your baby Mrs. Tordoff," Martha coaxed.

Reminded of her baby, Hailee felt like her heart was being torn apart. She then stood up and Martha took her to hide in Ramon's walk-in closet which was on the left side of the room, while the banging outside the room grew louder.

But then there was a gunshot and the door was forced open.

Approaching footsteps echoed in the room. And from a relatively closer range, the two of them could also hear fighting and gunfire going on.

What's this? They are shooting each other in the house? Have the people at the gates managed to get in? It shouldn't be that easy for them to knock down the main gates.

"Whatever happens, don't come out," Martha told Hailee.

And Hailee hugged herself as Martha closed the closet door, leaving her in the dark.
