On the other end of the phone, Giana made sure that Chloe confirmed this new order and without waiting long, she ended the call.
Without the sound of her own chatter or any other noise, the apartment room could be said to be very quiet. The only sound that reverberated in there was the faint sounds of the vehicles from below, sounding so faint that it was almost like a hum.
Slowly, Giana stood up and walked to the large, ceiling to the floor windows, pulled back the white curtains and gazed out at the glittering night and the shining city lights.
"It's just started Aidan," Giana mumbled. Revenge and hatred permeated off of every word she spoke. "I will destroy you and get what I deserved long ago."
For a moment, her and Ramon's problems were kept aside, but that didn't mean Giana had forgotten about them altogether. Oh, of course not. Bringing back Ramon's memories along with the memories of their time together, would be next on Giana's agenda.
She wouldn't just let Ramon go into the hands of that woman named Hailee. Now that she was going to meet Hailee Tatum's older sister, Giana was feeling all the more enthusiastic and full of curiosity.
What was the deal between Aileen Tatum and Aidan Smith? The two of them shouldn't know each other. But, why did Aileen Tatum seem to know more about Aidan and his affair?
What was with the Tatum family? Giana felt that she was hearing this one particular family name more and more often. Very annoying.

"What are you doing in my kitchen so early?" Hailee was surprised to see that Lexus was already at her house and was skimming through the kitchen.
Maybe it was because Hailee was feeling better or maybe because she had been sleeping soundly lately, this morning she woke up earlier than Ramon, unlike usual.
Therefore, Hailee thought of taking this opportunity to make Ramon breakfast. She missed cooking so much, because last night's chicken cordon bleu couldn't be counted as something that was made by her.
"I was looking for the leftover chicken cordon bleu from last night. As I recall, there were two more portions left and you put them in the fridge." Lexus was still trying to find the food he was looking for. "I am not going to waste my hard earned cooking."
"The dishes you made yourself?" Hailee sneered. "Wasn't all you have done could be counted down to chopping the raw materials alone?"
"Hey, don't underestimate my efforts. Cutting also requires good technique and skill, otherwise the spices won't be absorbed properly." Lexus reprimanded Hailee for her comment.
"Too bad, I finished the rest of the chicken last night, because I was too hungry," Hailee said lightly. She sat on a bar stool, propping her chin, watching Lexus's reactions which were quite entertaining.
"What?" Lexus turned his body in a dramatic motion, while behind him, the refrigerator door closed with a loud noise. "You ate both at the same time?"
"Huh um." Hailee nodded. "I was suddenly hungry last night."
"But, a few hours before you went to bed, you had eaten quite a lot," Lexus protested, disapproving that the chicken he wanted had been disappeared. "How can you still be hungry?"
"I am pregnant, remember?" Then Hailee gently touched her flat stomach, making Lexus lose his argumentative ability. What else was he supposed to say when Hailee said she was hungry?
Last night, Hailee woke up because she suddenly felt hungry and wanted to finish the chicken cordon bleu made by Ramon and Lexus.
And when Hailee was just about to get out of the bed, it turned out that Ramon also woke up, so they both finished the food. Only after Hailee felt her stomach was full, could she sleep again soundly.
"Huft," Lexus snorted. "You are using your pregnancy to eat late at night, otherwise you would have thought twice before eating so late."
"Why? Are you jealous?" Hailee teased.
"Jealous? Of course not, we Tordoff men, have perfect bodies without the need to try hard," said Lexus proudly.
Hailee stuck out her tongue when she heard that. "If this was said by Ramon, of course I would have believed it."
"Hey, I'm his brother, so there's no difference between the two of us." Lexus protested again while sitting across from Hailee. "Okay, since I'm being generous, this morning I will make breakfast for you, what do you want for breakfast?"
"You are going to make breakfast for me?" Hailee asked, she raised her eyebrows, but a smile spread across her lips. "It was just last night that you learned how to cook and now you're getting ready to whip up something again?" Hailee teased.
"Of course not, I just wanted to make something for my future nephew," Lexus defended himself and they both knew it was the most ridiculous excuse ever.
"Surprise me," said Hailee. "I love surprises."
"Okay!" Lexus then snapped his fingers confidently, but then he asked Hailee to close her eyes.
"Why should I close my eyes, what are you going to do?" Hailee looked at Lexus suspiciously. "Are you going to put something weird in my food later?" Her eyes narrowed probingly.
Of course, being treated like this made Lexus scowl, he clutched his chest dramatically, as if he was in extreme pain.
"How could you suspect your own brother- in- law like that? I'm not a criminal," Lexus protested with a hurt expression on. "Besides, if something happened to you while you were with me, do you think Ramon would let me live in peace?"
Hailee chuckled at Lexus' childish grunts. People out there would not expect that Lexus had this side to him and Lexus only showed this attitude more often when he was around people who could make him feel comfortable.
"Okay, okay..." Hailee relented. She then raised her palms to cover her eyes and let Lexus do whatever he wanted to do without being seen.
