Aidan was completely overwhelmed when he had to face Giana who was acting up, once again throwing a tantrum and losing control.
The wound on Giana's palm was bleeding profusely enough to make the floor of Dillon's apartment look like a scene of murder with blood splattered everywhere.
Not only Giana's blood, but also Aidan's.
Yes, the man was also injured in his attempt to calm Giana, who seemed to no longer be able to think straight.
Maybe, this was due to the depression and pressure she had been fighting for so long and this time, all these bad feelings were released at the same time, causing Giana to experience an uncontrollable 'outburst'.
Under such circumstances, Aidan really couldn't pick up any incoming calls from Zia, who kept calling him several times, because his focus was only on Giana.
The woman, who was still his wife, was only brought under control after two of Aidan's bodyguards came to help him take Giana to the lobby so they could go to the hospital to treat her wounds which seemed to be getting worse.
However, things didn't go so smoothly or according to plan. Because, the news hunters who had been waiting since the news first spread, didn't just let them go.
Even the help that Aidan asked for as well as an escorts service from the building to secure the way and Giana so that they could get out of the apartment building were not very fruitful.
They were like moths that surrounded a lamplight, like an eagle that sticking its claws into its prey and was not easy to shake off. That was how they behaved when they finally gota chance to have their hands on a piece of tantalizing news.
Giana managed to calm down by being held by two of Aidan's bodyguards, who seemed too awkward to touch their boss's wife, especially since Aidan was around as well.
It was only after Giana seemed to have calmed down that Aidan walked over to her and knelt beside her to cover herself with a blanket, so that no one would see the wounds on her body.
Things would only get worse if the reporters saw Giana's injuries, for which they had to get past the news hunters and escape the camera shots.
On the other hand, Giana's chest seemed to be rising and falling rather slowly, her breath was shallow, but her eyes were closed, showing resignation and exhaustion.
There was a sense of pity and disdain that crossed Aidan's mind as he lifted his wife's body which felt very light. Giana lost a lot of weight and became thinner than he had last remembered.
And the worst part was; Aidan realized that he played an important role in the bad circumstances and difficult situations experienced by Giana.
Aidan's jaw clenched as he had to lift Giana's body, rather than the weight that he felt resting on his arms, as he walked briskly with his four bodyguards escorting toward the lobby where his car was waiting, Aidan felt more weight that weighed on his heart when he had to watch one of the most strong women he'd ever seen, finally falling to the ground.
What a jerk he was for destroying Giana's life in such a way.
However, Aidan also did not find in him the desire to be able to live that unhappy marriage once again. Living in pretense when he had promised a future to Zia.
And Giana certainly didn't want this. For now, the two of them were on the same page. They both wanted a new lease and nothing could change that decision.
Therefore, at least this was what he could do, ignoring Zia for now and preferring not to let go when Giana's condition was really down as she seemed unable to get up again.
They didn't choose to go out through the back door because there were already many news hunters waiting in their cars. Crazy news hunters, who wouldn't let Aidan and Giana off the hook.
At the very least, by choosing a lobby, the reporters would find it difficult to catch their car. Although, the risk could be said to be very high, but they had no other way, especially when their options were very limited.
"This is going to be difficult, try to ignore them, sir," one of Aidan's bodyguards told him and immediately communicated with the others via the small communication device in his hand, telling them that Aidan and Giana would soon be out of the building and that they should do their best to contain the news hunters so as not to hurt these two people.
No one should know about this. Especially the fact that Giana was injured.
It didn't matter if Giana was reported to be unconscious or drunk, but if they caught Giana's unstable mental state where she wanted to hurt herself, then that was another problem.
The big news that was currently shaking up the media, was enough to destroy Giana's reputation and destabilize the shares of their respective family companies. If this was coupled with more bad news, then Giana would not have a chance to recover.
"This way, sir," the same bodyguard, who had been escorting them all along, pointed the way to Aidan, while the others opened the door.
