It’s Hard To Control My Naughty Wife!

Aidan found his ex-wife sitting on the floor, leaning against the foot of the bed. Her eyes were unfocused, staring at the cartoon Mickey Mouse shown on television, while all around her were broken glass and trash in a scattered mess.

It seemed, no one would dare to approach this woman and distract her from the television program she was watching.

Immediately upon seeing this scene, Aidan felt his anger fade away. Confusion, pity, annoyance and also several other kinds of feelings that he couldn't explain hit Aidan.

Because after all, this woman was the one who had been with him for three years and also the one who had been by his side even though she knew she had been betrayed.

But of course, that wasn't enough to make Aidan forget what Giana was doing now, by spreading the video between himself and Aileen on social media.

"Giana," Aidan called. He stepped in carefully, trying to avoid the shards of glass on the floor. Giana was pretty lucky it seemed, because she didn't look hurt among all this mess. "Giana, can you hear me?" Aidan tried again.

The man then knelt beside Giana and took the television remote from her hand before turning off the cartoon.

Only then did Giana move a little, showing signs that she heard him.

Giana didn't say anything, but looked at Aidan with a blank stare, as if waiting for what this man wanted to say to her.

And precisely when Aidan had gotten Giana's attention, he didn't know what to say. Even if Aidan beat her and berated her in the harshest language, he didn't feel that it would mean anything to Giana.

She had gone too far inside herself and seemed to want nothing more in life.

If life was a game, then Giana was a loser who would go home with her head hung low.

And in the end, Aidan could only sit beside Giana, leaning his back against the foot of the bed as well, but before that of course he made sure first that there were no broken glass pieces there.

"Where is that man?" Aidan asked finally. At such a close distance, he could see how thin Giana had become and how her hair, which had always looked healthy and well-groomed, now looked tousled and dull, as if she hadn't washed it for several days.

Giana averted her gaze from Aidan and stared at the chandelier above their heads.

"Where's Dillon?" Aidan knew that it was the man who had been keeping Giana sane and cleaning up all the mess that his ex-wife always made, but this time Aidan had not seen the man for a long time.

Aidan of course knew that the baby Giana was carrying was Dillon's and not his, because otherwise they wouldn't have reached the stage of divorce now. However, where was the man now?

There were even some rumors that said that the man had run away after impregnating Giana, and because he did not want to be responsible, Giana was forced to abort the pregnancy.

However, having been in this world for so long, he knew very well not to believe the rumors circulating out there.

Every rumor circulating and also the words circulating in the community could easily be changed according to their respective assumptions.

"Is that guy really gone?" he asked again, but got no response from Giana, the woman had completely disappeared into her own world and it seemed that Aidan could no longer reach her.

For a moment, the two of them seemed to just fall silent and sat side by side, as if lost in their own thoughts.

Aidan's plan, which was to settle scores with Giana, seemed to be forgotten. How could he do something to a woman who didn't even know herself?

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

"You really took advantage of the situation," Lexus said in disbelief to his brother.

After the news about the affair between him and Giana began to fade in the media, Hailee released an even far more spectacular news about Giana, however, none of the news would last forever, because it would be very easy to control the media and shift attention from one hot topic to another when you always have much more shocking news.

Now Ramon was starting to launch his plan to acquire Dawson's company, where the company was already on the verge of bankruptcy.

The rumors about the family and the absence of an eligible candidate who could lead the company, made the Dawson family's downfall something that was predictable.

Especially when Ramon was working behind the scenes to make sure that happened.

"Here are all the documents you need," Lexus then handed several documents to Ramon. "So, what's after this? Would you do the same to the Smiths?"

Ramon took the documents and checked them briefly. "Yes."

Lexus was quite surprised when he heard that, but had also predicted it. "You have absolutely no mercy on them. But, I don't think the Smiths have any disagreements with you, so why are you targeting their family too?"

Ramon glanced at his younger brother and said softly, "There is no particular reason. This is business, everyone is always looking for more profit."

Lexus didn't know whether to cry or laugh when he heard that statement. Ramon was very hard to predict…

Just because Ramon saw the advantage in this matter, he immediately grabbed it and didn't wait for a second chance.

However, what Lexus didn't know was the fact that Ramon did that to protect their family. The stronger their family became, the people who wanted to do bad things to this family would think dozens of times before doing it.

Money was not everything and Ramon learned that from Hailee, but also everything needed money and he learned that from what had happened to Hailee, because money had undeniable power.

If Ramon could break all the support given to Leon, then it would be easier for him to teach a 'valuable' lesson to that jerk.

And Ramon would start with the Dawsons.

"Oh, one more thing, there is information regarding Leon's whereabouts," Lexus informed Ramon. He didn't feel awkward when he said the name, because he didn't feel anything for the man he had barely met in his entire life.

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

"You have to be careful Hailee," Zia said when they finally met at a café. This was the first time for them to meet after a long time; after the two got entangled with different problems.

Now, Zia looked much better and was starting to dare to go out of the house and since Ian left, she had started asking Hailee often to go out and meet, just to chat or shop.

As they were doing now.

Hailee purposely went to meet Zia and spend time together because Ramon had business in this city today and Hailee asked to come along.

And of course there was no reason for Ramon not to grant his wife's request.

"They're still looking for Leon aren't they? Now he has become a fugitive." Zia ate her ice cream. It could be clearly seen that Hailee's cousin had regained her confidence and was starting to look cheerful as usual.

"Yeah, Ramon looks a little paranoid too," Hailee said languidly.

Meanwhile, Zia looked at the ten bodyguards who were wearing casual clothes and mingling with other visitors, so as not to make Hailee feel uncomfortable.

However, they were still well recognized by Hailee and Zia.

"I'd like to say that this is an exaggeration, but considering what dangers lurks around you, I think it's only natural that Ramon would do this," Zia grimaced as she said that. She couldn't imagine herself having to be followed by so many people like this.

"Yes, I understand, so I don't really complain," Hailee said. She didn't complain, but sometimes she would sulk at Ramon. "I understand how he feels…"

After they finished eating at the café, the two women planned to shop at the outlets in that mall.

But then Hailee's phone vibrated and after seeing who it was, Hailee's face brightened.

"Where are you?" Ramon asked over the phone and Hailee laughed, asking how his meeting was and telling him where she was now. "The meeting is over, I'll come over there to pick you up."

"I'm with Zia," Hailee said. "We can meet at home."

"I want to see you now," Ramon said firmly. Now he was in his car. "I'm already on my way there."

And it left Hailee speechless.

"Okay Mr. Tordoff, come here… I need money for shopping," Hailee said, acting all spoiled. "Maybe you can buy me some clothes."

"Hm," Ramon mumbled. "No problem, as long as it's lingerie and stuff I'll buy you anything you want."

"Ramon!" Hailee could feel her face heat up, but it wasn't that she didn't like it.

"Why? Is there something wrong?" Ramon asked in a light voice.

In response to her husband's teasing, Hailee slightly walked away from Zia as they entered the jewelry store. "No, nothing's wrong. As long as you accompany me to try it out, then I think we can find something suitable for both of our tastes."

"My taste is you Mrs. Tordoff." Ramon smiled and if Hailee could see that smile, of course, she would know what was on her husband's mind right now.

And after a few more seductive exchanges, the phone was hung up, only when Hailee was about to enter the jewelry outlet, someone called her.

"Hailee," a male voice rang behind her.

And as soon as Hailee turned her head, her mood immediately turned bad.

Theodore.
