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.
