It’s Hard To Control My Naughty Wife!

"Aidan, we have to end all of this," Zia said firmly, she stretched out her hand to hold back Aidan who was approaching her.

However, the man did not heed these few words from her and chose to voice out his own.

"Want to take a bath together?" Aidan asked, smiling as if the call from Diego had never happened at all.

"Aidan, I am serious," Zia said sternly, she raised her head and immediately regretted it because she could see this man's happy face and had to bite her lip to be able to defend her decision. "We have to end all of this."

Aidan then took a deep breath, not knowing what else to do with Zia or how to respond now, so he grabbed her hand that was holding his chest.

"Zia, you have said that sentence a dozen times already," Aidan stated the facts.

Zia had intended to end their relationship a long time ago, even when she heard that Aidan was going to marry Giana, but as days went by, they found that they didn't want to separate.

Now here they were, spending the night, sharing warmth with one another regardless of their status out there, which made this relationship a disgrace.

In this hotel room, where there were only the two of them, Aidan only wanted himself and Zia, not Aidan as the heir to the elite company of the Smith family, or himself as Giana's husband, as the public knew.

"But, this time I am serious," Zia said, her voice trembling a little, but she was staring straight at this man in front of her. "I can't stay in a relationship like this Aidan. This relationship will end sooner or later."

"Why do we have to end this relationship?" Aidan looked at Zia cluelessly.

"Why do we have to end this relationship?" Zia repeated Aidan's words fiercely. "You don't think I intend to be your mistress forever, do you?" she narrowed her eyes.

And, a crystal clear answer could be seen in Aidan's eyes. This is an undeniable fact.

"I want to have a real relationship." Zia shook off Aidan's hand that was holding hers.

"But, what we have is real. My feelings for you are real," Aidan insisted.

It was just that Zia didn't listen to him, she then rephrased her words. "I want to show the guy I am dating to my friends as well as my family, I want to start thinking about the future and build a family too. You are so selfish if you think you are going to keep me forever in this affair. It is not fair to me, or to you and even more so, for Giana." Zia could feel the pain in her heart when she said the name Giana.

Aidan's jaw clenched tightly when he heard his wife's name. "You think Giana will care if I go out with another woman?" Aidan's voice sounded like a whisper. "You think she doesn't have any affairs out there?"

"That is your business," Zia said, gritting her teeth to hold back the tears that almost fell down her cheeks. Just this time, Zia wanted to be strong for herself and get out of this toxic relationship. "And I don't want to continue this anymore, this is our last meeting."

Zia then pushed Aidan's body away and intended to hurry into the bathroom, she didn't want Aidan to see her crying and shaking her decision again.

It was really hard to leave the person you really love when they loves you too, it was just that sometimes situations wouldn't allow them to be together.

Aidan swiftly pulled Zia into his arms and rested his chin on the girl's shoulder, hugging her from behind. He knew that this relationship always hurt Zia, but he didn't want to let her go. "What can I do to make you want to stay with me?" Aidan asked in Zia's ear, his voice like someone who was in despair.

Zia was silent, her dark eyes staring at the sturdy arm that hugged her waist. "Divorce Giana and marry me."

Aidan sighed. He had expected that Zia would put this condition forward and he also knew why he couldn't do it. It was not that he didn't love Zia, but there are other serious reasons he should consider if he were to end his marriage to Giana.

Their two families were too strong and if anything happened to both heir, there would be a big outcome that they needed to overcome and that would be the ugliest things that they had to face.

The consequences were too dire for both family and company.

"Give me another condition," Aidan said regretfully. "You know that I can't do that."

Zia should have known that Aidan would not comply with her request, but still, the pain she felt was not any less.

Then, with one violent jolt, Zia released herself from Aidan. "Then, I can't see a future for both of us," she said coldly before she went into the bathroom and stayed there until an hour had passed and the water in her bath had turned cold.

However, when Zia finally walked out she didn't feel any better.

On the balcony, Zia found Aidan on the phone, discussing business matters with someone, and took the moment to quickly leave the room without Aidan knowing.

============== 

Ramon's words while they were having breakfast, in reply to Alena, were still ringing in Hailee's ears, and she couldn't help but feel a little awkward and embarrassed.

But, not in a bad sense.

Hailee liked how Ramon replied to Alena, but it was the meaning behind his sentence that made this girl have to bite her lip so as not to smile like a fool.

Only, she didn't want to show this to Ramon. Perhaps, this was the reason why women were very difficult to be understood.

Because sometimes they also don't understand what they want.

Example; how Hailee was feeling right now. She didn't even know whether to show her joy or to pretend she did not like Ramon's initiative.

Ugh!

What a pain!

Hailee just did not want Ramon to think nonsense about her...

"Your lips will hurt if you bite them too hard," Ramon commented.

Unknown to Hailee, Ramon had noticed the expression on her face that changed every two seconds on their way back to town A.

It was not that Ramon was obsessed with staring at his future wife, it was just that compared to the traffic jam outside, he felt Hailee's expressive face was much more pleasant.

Meanwhile, when she heard Ramon's comment, Hailee immediately turned her head and put on a fierce face. "I am still pissed off at you."

"What else are you upset about?" Ramon asked, as if he didn't know. "I am helping you, right?"

"You don't need to help me, I can reply to Alena's words," Hailee grumbles.

"But, my method is more effective," Ramon said proudly.

"But, you words made an impression…" Hailee didn't continue her words and looked back at the window, frowning.

"What kind of impression does they make?" Ramon asked, persuading Hailee that she would continue her sentence.

But, after a while Hailee was still interested in staring out the window, Ramon then shifted in his seat and cupped Hailee's face in his big palms.

Ramon's palms were cold against Hailee's cheeks, but this girl loved his touch.

"Listen," Ramon said softly and clearly. "You will be my wife. If someone insults you, then I will feel like my pride is being trampled on and I will not let anyone do anything like that. You also have to know how to take care of yourself."

Hailee listened carefully. "What if I get into trouble later?"

"You intend to cause trouble?" Ramon frowned.

"What if I fight them and you get involved?" Hailee corrected her sentence and explained it to Ramon.

"How bad do you think I will have to fare?" Ramon frowned.

And only then did Hailee realize; if Ramon could destroy Roland Dimatrio's career, the district attorney, because he bravely kidnapped Hailee, then what kind of impact could possibly trouble Ramon?

"Very well," Hailee answered softly.

Ramon nodded in satisfaction as Hailee finally understood. Geez, this girl should know how much influence she would have when she would finally bear the name Tordoff after her name.

"Besides, I did not say anything wrong," Ramon then leaned back against the back of the seat. "What is wrong with you serving me?"

"Ramon!" Hailee growled in annoyance that he was bringing up the incident again.

However, then Hailee got a little naughty idea.

While pretending to hit Ramon, Hailee approached him and… she pressed her lips against Ramon's collar, which automatically left a lipstick mark there.

Ramon didn't realize it, but people who saw it would immediately know it was a woman's lipstick smudge and would start thinking nonsense. That's very human ...

Hailee smiled in satisfaction. She would call Lexus later to find out what rumor the lipstick stain had stirred.

Charlie, their driver, drove Ramon to the office first and it was not until after driving Hailee home that he could go back.

When Hailee finally got home, she immediately remembered her other plan. And there is only one person who she thought can help her.

"Ian!" Hailee exclaimed happily when she heard her friend's voice. And after listening to some of Ian's nagging about contacting him only now, Hailee immediately stated her main intention. "Do you know the journalist for that famous gossip magazine? I have some great news that I want to publish."
