Chapter 328 - REVENGE
Ian got the phone while searching the man's body and found a shocking video, which made his blood boil as his eyes blinded with anger.
Luckily Marco was right beside him, otherwise he might have finished Axcel with his own hands and there was nothing he cared about more than making the bastard suffer the same way he had hurt Hailee.
How could he do that? How could a man commit such a despicable act?
And, Marco was adamant that he couldn't take matters into his own hands and had to ask Ramon what to do about it, and Ian relented since it was also good to let Ramon know what Axcel Dimatrio had done to his wife.
Ian was sure that Ramon would not disappoint him with the choice of punishment he made.
And Ramon didn't let him down...
"He did that to Hailee," said Ian just as Ramon had finished watching a video that Axcel made when he tortured Hailee by kicking or hitting her hard. "I think that's the main reason why you guys lost your baby..."
Ian deliberately said this very clearly, to fan the fire of anger that had subsided a little after Ramon managed to find Hailee. He himself didn't watch the video a second time and chose to stand by Hailee's side, recalling every wound she got and couldn't imagine how something so bad could happen to her.
Ian would really settle scores with Axcel for every bruise he inflicted on his best friend.
This was absolutely unacceptable and of course Ramon would not stand still.
After watching the disturbing video, Ramon put the phone on the table and walked over to the bed where Hailee was being treated.
He stared intently at his wife's face as the sun shone from the window that had the curtains open behind them.
It was morning and it could be said that Ramon hadn't slept for two days in a row, and although he didn't show any signs of fatigue, the dark circles under his eyes only worsened his appearance and made him look even more terrifying and dangerous.
Ramon then leaned in and gently kissed Hailee's side of the face which looked less bruised, careful not to hurt his wife again, while Hailee was still unconscious and unaware of what was going on around her or what storm Ramon would bring upon people who had hurt her.
"Ramon..." Ian called. "I know this news will be a little upsetting, but you should be informed that Leon was rescued and now Lexus is dealing with the police."
Lexus didn't inform him of this because he didn't want to disturb Ramon, but since they were holding Leon in the basement of the Tordoff family building, of course someone had to take the brunt.
Meanwhile, their PR team was trying to keep the media from releasing news that could harm the Tordoff family name.
Luckily the Tordoff family has a fairly strong influence in some of the major mass media outlets in this country, therefore, the news can be deferred, but also not for long.
"I know," replied Ramon in a serene tone. A vibe that was actually quite terrifying when it came from Ramon, especially when he should have looked furious.
This was far more terrifying than seeing him shoot eleven people to death without blinking, inside Leon's house in city F, a few hours ago.
Ian waited for what Ramon would do now that he learnt about this. However, after a while of waiting, it seemed that Ramon still didn't move from where he was standing with an indescribable look in his eyes, so Ian broke the silence again.
"Then what are you going to do?" he asked. He couldn't wait to hear what Ramon would do after this. If Ramon had asked him to skin Axcel alive, of course Ian would be happy to oblige.
However, Ramon's request was very different from what he had imagined.
"Stay here with Hailee," Ramon said quietly, when he finally took his eyes off his wife's face and then took something from the pocket of the jacket slung over the sofa; a gun. "Shoot anyone you think is a threat or trespassing."
Ramon then handed the gun casually to Ian, as if it were a stick of cigarette.
Ian laughed grimly as he received the weapon. "Why do you guys kill people so easily?" he asked with an ironic tone in his voice.
"Because some people deserve to be killed." Ramon then grabbed Hailee's hand gently before kissing it softly.
Ramon really wanted to be around when Hailee woke up, but it seemed like the chaos out there wouldn't allow him to have that little bit of happiness.
But, it didn't matter, as long as Hailee was safe and recovering, then it was fine. Ramon would see her later, because there were some people out there who seemed impatient to meet him and were constantly testing his patience.
Since marrying Hailee, Ramon had seemed easier to approach, but that didn't mean they could take him lightly.
The dark side inside Ramon didn't disappear at all and now they were summoning that side of him….
"You are leaving Hailee alone with me?" Ian asked in disbelief. He thought Ramon would drive him away from his wife, considering that Ramon had always tried to keep Ian at least a kilometer away from Hailee.
Ramon glanced at Ian and stared at him for a moment with those cold eyes of his. "I'm going to get someone to install CCTV in this room, so if you mess with my wife, my people out there will take care of you right away."
"Ramon!" cried Ian, not believing what he was hearing. Was he really that low to try things on Hailee in her current condition!? This man is crazy.
================
Ramon stared at Axcel in silence, while the man continued to beg for forgiveness from him. A pardon from Ramon Tordoff, which was highly unlikely.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry… I didn't do it on purpose…" Axcel said. His face was sticky with blood flowing from his injured head as well as the rest of his body.
It seemed, even without an order from Ramon, Axcel had taken a few hits from David and Marcus.. They seemed very angry after learning that Hailee lost her baby due to Axcel's actions.
